Bed Bugs are horrible things.

They multiply in our bed covers and mattresses by feeding off our dead skin cells. It is claimed there are millions of these bed bugs and dust mites surrounding us when we go to bed at night.

Thanks to a new revolutinary device called the Raycop, we don’t have to worry about these mites anymore. Tried, tested and approved by the British allergy foundation, the Ewbank Raycop bed vacuum is used to eliminate these bugs from out bed covers and mattresses.

Using a combination of new UV-C sterilising light technology, vibration, plus two-stage vacuum filtration, you can be sure that 99.9% of the harmful bacteria and the mites themselves will be removed.

The Ewbank Raycop currently retails for £149.95 and can be purchased here:

Why USB Turntables are useful

Over the past few years, USB Turntables have exploded in popularity. This is due mainly to those wanting to convert their classic vinyl into digital format for use on Mp3 players and digital devices.

So why are USB turntables so good?

By converting your record collection to digital format you are preserving them. You may have records which have really deteriorated and are very old and want to take a digital copy now to clean up and preserve.

Also, you don’t need a clumpy record player to listen to your records, many stereos play Mp3′s via a CD or USB which means you will actually get to listen to your favourite records with no hassle!

Are they easy to use?

Most USB record players on the market are very simple to use. You need a PC or laptop powerful enough to process the digital audio and everything else is supplied. Take the Ion USB Turntable for example, all the software, cables and equipment are included and very easy to install.

Does that mean the end of Vinyl?

For those vinyl lovers, I have to admit I have a large vinyl collection also. At the moment, Digital format can’t beat the crisp clarity of vinyl but we’re not suggesting you rid your homes of them. No, we’re recommending individuals who don’t listen to their collection very often to make it more accessible and get the most from them.
