Bogus product
Bajaj TC 2007 Room Air Cooler

Why buy air cooler with fan rather than blower? Any specific reason? Is it because of noise or reliability of blower is less?

How to choose a Water Heater?
Choosing a Water Heater

@ silver line- What technical aspects are you expecting? I already have mentioned I am not an electrical engineer, neither I work in an applicance factory to give you the nitty gritty about the subject. I have used my common sense and written a review which will help a common man. Rest about dist...inguishing between different models. I cannot comment because for that I will have to use all of them for a quite long time before I can comment with confidence. I had bad experience with Bajaj Water Heater due to a faulty thermostat for which I had to shell 350 bucks extra. But after replacing the thermostat now its working fine touchwood!Read More

How to choose a Water Heater?
Choosing a Water Heater

Yes and No both! Instant water heaters have a heating coil of 3500 kw where as storage type have 1500 kw. But then again bring in the factor, how much time the geyser was on. You have to keep the storage type of water heater on for a long period, whereas an instant water heater is on for only few mi...nutes at max. So its wrong to say Instant water heater consumes more kw infact it might save energy if its for a small family. Storage water heaters are better for bigger families and when all the members bath nearly at the same time till the water remains hot.Read More

Choosing a Water Heater

There cannot be a tankless water heater, because you can not have continuous flow and expect the water to be heated. Either the flow has to be low or the wattage very high to give you the desired bathing hot temperature.

Lic
Choosing an Insurance Policy

Dont fall into any trap of this LIC crap. Use an excel do your calculations. Also include the inflation of 10% per annum and then you will get the real truth of these policies. If you opt for this pension policies your money gets blocked and later you find that they are not even offering 5% returns ...on your money, whereas the inflation is 10% better invest in other schemes which have more liquidity.Read More

How to choose a motrocycle tyre?
Tips on Choosing Bike Tyres

Other Imported International Soft compound tyres: IRC NR48 and Pirelli MT75 (110/80 X 17) Have good dry as well as wet grip.Good for On-road grip. Life around 15k kms. Other Imported Dual sport tyres from Vee Rubber and Duro: Heard good reports about them but cannot comment on its availability ...and particular tyre model. From the above its clear that we really dont have a single tyre which is good enough for on-road (dry/wet) condition and for light off-roading. Michellin Sirac and M45 both which were imported are good dual purpose tyres but now very difficult to find and I think are tube type ones and not available for 17 inch rim size. Michelin Sirac street is made in India but are hard compound tyres and not so grippy as Michelin Sirac Imported. Dunlop tyres have mixed response from people.Some find it OK and some find it not so good. Dunlop Geo-Cruiser wears out unevenly from middle and later hampers grip. I hope other people add more to this list. Read More

Tips on Choosing Bike Tyres

For 17 inch rim size rear tyre (from various owners experiences) : Zapper C (TL) 100/110/120 /80 X 17: A typical hard compound tyre but with a good blend so decent grip in wet braking and dry grip on tarmac. Average in all conditions so a good all-rounder. A pulsar 120/80 x 17 tyre is having a... medium compound while the other sizes of Zapper C are hard compound tyres. Lasts nearly 20000 plus kms. Zapper Vyde (TL) 120/80 X 17: A good tyre for wet grip and phenomenol dry grip. Its a soft compound tyre and so prone to punctures and has less life of around 15k kms. Ceat Vertigo Sport (TL) (Button type tyre but closely spaced buttons) 100/120 /80 X 17: Excellent tyre for off-roading/slush/gravel and with Ok grip in Wet conditions on tarmac. Riding at high speeds and high speed cornering can be a concern. Not a track tyre obviously neither for corner cravers. Wet grip on tarmac is less than Zapper C but good on slush/gravel etc. Its a Indian dual sport tyre sort of. TVS tyres (TL): All TVS tyres are made up of extremely hard compound tyres and so offer bad grip in wet conditions. In dry conditions for a average joe it will be just ok but a wet patch is enough to loose its line. I would not recommend these tyres to anyone. Only advantage is they are very hard to puncture and have a long life.I had used them in my Ladakh trip (as stock tyre on my RTR180 spec 110/80 x 17) without any punctures or air-pressure loss but were horrible in wet conditions.Long life of the tyre but at what cost?Seriously not recommended. Life nearly 35k kms with zero grip. Michelin Pilot sporty (Tubetype TT) 100/80 x 17: Soft compound tyre with excellent grip on dry aswell as wet tarmac but looses its line on gravel. Lasts 15k kms. MRF Rear tyre for R15 version 1 (100/80 x 17): Soft compound tyre very good grip in wet and dry tarmac conditions. Not so good for gravel and off-roading. Lasts 15k kms.

How to choose a motrocycle tyre?

When the time comes to change your worn out OEM tyre for your motorbike we get confused as to what to buy. Often the grip in wet conditions reduces as much as 2/3rd of the dry grip on tarmac. While selecting tyres we need to consider the following points: 1) What type of grip you want - Dr...Read more

General Advise on Buying a Gas Cooktop (Gas-Stove)
Choosing a Cooking Range

Very good info indeed. Please throw some light on autoignition. How it functions and how the spark are created.Also I had a chance to try to work on my own simple gas stove in which there is a small jet covered by a barrel which leads to the burner. The spacing between these two is important but I d...ont know how much or the science behind because it decides how much air mixes with the fuel gas.Read More

Thanks Monica I had gone through that review earlier,but it gives less information on practical considerations in choosing an instant WH versus Storage WH. Also practical information like accessories required to fit a Instant WH and the cost and quality associated with it.
