January's Review of the Month Winners

Monday, February 1st, 2010

January was a great month for reviews – all your Christmas presents got rated, snapped and video’d! So, as you’d expect, it was an especially difficult task to sift through the thousands of reviews we receive each month and select the very creamiest of the cream of the most carefully harvested crop.

First of all, and winning a satisfyingly chunky £50 IWOOT Voucher, is Timboosler. His review of the ol’ faithful Cash Stash is below:

“Such a good idea:
Remember when your Mum sewed a shiny shilling into the lining of your pants so you could always make a phone call home if you were lost? No? Then you’re obviously too young!
This brings that concept right up to date with a key ring containing a craftily folded tenner, a score, or even a half a ton if you can afford it…enough for a phone call, a kebab, and a luxury cab-ride home…maybe even stopping off at the ‘Offie’ as well.
Never get stuck again with the moths flying out of your empty wallet… this is your emergency lifeboat should you fall asleep on the last train home, or just forgot to go to the cashpoint for more beer tokens.
The only thing to remember is if you use your sneaky secret cashpoint, remember to replace it as soon as possible. And of course, it goes without saying… never, never, ever tell your girlfriend what’s inside!!”

Sage words indeed. For submitting our favourite picture review, someone referring to themselves as Kaleidoscope (enigmatic, eh?) wins a suitably beefy £75 IWOOT Voucher for this picture review of Henry The Hoover at work:

Nice one, Henry. Now can you do my kitchen floor?

And finally, we went for PlinkyPlonkyDonkey’s Twilight Turtle video. One can only assume that that is a self-applied pseudonym. Nevertheless, a whopping £150 IWOOT Voucher is on its way to you – well done!

Don’t forget to enter this month if you buy one of our products – you could win some serious, err… “wonga” to spend at IWOOT!

December's Review of the Month Winners

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

It’s that time again, time for us to announce the winners of this month’s reviews competition. You’ve all come up trumps as usual and given us a shedload of barmy reviews to sift through (not an easy or quick task, we assure you), all so you might stand a chance of winning either a £50 (written), £75 (picture) or a massive £150 (video) review.

So without further ado, we’re pleased to announce that the winners are (it’s at times like these we’d kill for a drumroll sound effect)…

 

Papasken for his extremely thorough written review of the Mili Power Pack:

“Superb gadget add-on:

I was a bit sceptical when I saw this Battery Pack going so cheap. I thought it would be rubbish but being a constant user of my iPhone and having to charge it two or three times a day, urgent action was required. Hence the BP was purchased at IWOOT.

First thing I noticed was the packaging. None of the cheap plastic wrap that no one can open without a knife or scissors. No – this gadget comes in a presentable box, not unlike the iPhones to be honest. Upon opening the box and revealing the Battery Pack, it was a shock to discover how small and light it was. Even after fitting the iPhone in to it, I was still able to fit in my pocket.

I charged the gadget to full, fitted the iPhone and then proceeded to use it all day. 48 hours later the pack was displaying 25% battery left and the iPhone was still 100% full. I find that astonishing considering, I watched videos, browsed the web, read eBooks’, did crosswords, email, checked the weather, Twitter, Facebook and God knows whatever else I got up to in that time.

For a Battery Pack under £50, this is a bargain, easy to use and delivers on power.

My friends have been so impressed they are after one now :)

Excellent emoticon use there, Papasken.

We also went for Griffo’s Shaun Of The Dead-inspired picture of the Magnote:

Sadly, no-one entered a video review this month, which means someone missed out on a whopping £150 to spend at IWOOT. Now who in their right mind would do that?! Come on Britain, let’s make videos in January, eh?

Review a Product By Tuesday and Win £150 of IWOOT Vouchers!

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Have you bought something from IWOOT in the last month? If you did, then why not write a review and stand a chance of winning some serious spending money for your next visit? We’ve got a £50 voucher for the best written review, a £75 voucher for the best photo review and a whopping £150 voucher for the best video review submitted before the 24th (that’s this Tuesday!).

Normally the voucher for the video review of the month stands at a still-hefty £100, but we thought we’d celebrate our brand spanking new review system with a little extra, just cos we’re nice like that.

Just think – you could spend £9.99 on a Hexbug, upload a super-duper video review and then buy another fifteen Hexbugs to go with it. You’ll probably want to spend it on something else, but we’ll leave that up to you. You never know when a Hexbug army might come in handy.

Anyway, the main thing to remember is that you could end up with up to £150 in IWOOT vouchers if you get your product reviews in by the 24th. Get typing/photographing/videoing!
