God value.
Relatively easy to fit (if you follow the instructions).
2 x 600MM PULL OUT WIRE BASKET KITCHEN LARDER BASE UNIT CUPBOARD DRAWER
May 16, 2019
Good quality, low profile (110mm height +10mm gap between)
Very difficult to find something similarly low in profile to get as many in a floor-standing kitchen unit as possible (for storing cans, bottles and packets on their sides making it easy to get them and easy to read contents without taking them out). A typical kitchen unit with 160mmH drawer will take 4 and a unit without a drawer (680mm height available) will *just* take 6 (with only 1 mm or so gap between).
Good value 3-stage runners. Basket rim is particularly solid giving the whole basket a feeling of serious solidity. I have not had them long enough to tell how rust-resistant the steel coating is.
Lubricate the runners with 3-in-1 before fitting as the runners come with a relatively viscous lubricant which makes them a bit stiff to use at first and lubricating them after fitting is a bit awkward.
Maplin USB DC Voltage Data Logger Record 0-30V Memory Readings LED Light Battery
Aug 11, 2017
Works OK-ish - But a Bit Expensive
This device serves a need for a simple (apparently) reliable method for logging DC voltage (0 - 30V) with a max of 32k samples (period - 2.5mS to 24hr) and about a 30mV resolution.
It is competantly made. (Insert a small flat bladed screwdriver into the slot next to the orange button and gently lever the USB end out to change the battery).
It requires the use of a Windows-based companion app to configure and download data. This works reasonably well and the results are acceptable for DIY, verging on professional use. There is minor some descrepancy in the way individual loggers worked (I bought 4). Specifically, you have to use the app to activate the logger ready to start working. By then pressing the only button on the logger logging starts. Alternatively you can set the logger (using the app) to be always logging. Some of the units I bought would flash the green LED all the time despite this, others do not flash at all until the button is pressed.
Each time you want to use the logger, it must be 'activated' using the app.
Once activated, the green LED double-flashes as per the 'LED flash cycle' setting. On pressing the small button on the logger, the logging starts and the LED flashes once per cycle instead.
The Amber 'alarm' LED flashes instead of the green one (at the period set in the app 'LED flash cycle') when the logger is full of data.
I would have prefered a AA or AAA battery than the 14250 (3.6V) battery it uses - 50p Vs £2.50 and much longer running time. The device appears to use 10uA (0.00001A) in standby. The 14250 cell has about 1Ah of capacity (obviously this will vary with type and use) but should give several years of use. Sampling raises the consumption to a milliamp or so.
The manual available from Maplin is appalling, unfortunately, and does not accurately reflect how to use the logger. It refers to a very similar temperature loggger and not all the functions are the same. But there is enough info on the web as to how to use it... and it is pretty simple and the app fairly self explanatory.
I would have a liked a simple on/off switch to save taking the battery out when not being used for a while.
