fifteenmay 40 Report post Posted July 31, 2010 11) Samsung 40" LED TV UA40B7000WM and 32" LCD TV LA32C450E1 from Dick-Harvey Norman Hougang Price: $1699 + extended warranty $140.50 and $679 + extended warranty $58.00 Ultra Slim Mount: $180.00 Though i have heard a lot of complaints about HN from forums but in my situation, it's totally opposite. I have to say WELL DONE to this particular guy who has helped me a lot. Prompt delivery and co-ordination from him especially in SMS. Firstly, my feedback about this 40" LED TV. It's good enough for me for standard definition TV and PS3 games. Picture quality is good and clear. Waited until the very last minute till the June IT fair before i bought it and i believe the sets were grabbed away fast before it became discontinued. As for the 32" LCD TV, it's normal quality only that it has a USB port as well for me to plug my external HDD in to view movies as well. As usual, i did my research before settling down on this TV. Haggled about more freebies from Dick and he was kind enough to provide us with a external HDD 320gb for free + vouchers. We wanted a TV that could be flushed in perfectly. Initially, this TV came with its normal wall mount (at that time, we refused to purchase the slim mount for $90 after recommendation from Dick). If you remember the photos in one of the previous pages and look closely, we would be able to see the mount + the wires behind the TV. This was our design to the contractor but we didn't expected it to look like that after using the normal mount. We were so sian at that time and had to ask our contractor to think of some ways to rectify this problem. Our conclusion was to box up the whole area near the wall and put the mount out to hang on the panel in order to hide the wirings. But that would make the TV potrude out by almost 2 inches which wouldn't be flushed in at all. My last resort was to buy the ultra slim mount from Samsung in order to try to make it as close to the box up area as possible. i tried to ask around but it's sold out everywhere in the main stores due to IT fair (GC and Courts selling @ $199 and $200 but need to wait. Best Denki not selling) The situation was quite urgent as my whole handover date would be delayed again if i never manage to get that mount. Fortunately, i SMS Dick and he mentioned he try his best to help me to get it ASAP. Didn't really expect him to help me since my TV is mounted already and in use. True enough, after 2 or 3 days, he SMS me saying that his friend, Norman from Millenia Walk Branch managed to find a new last pc. On that day itself, Norman call me to confirm the order. Upon my confirmation, the best thing is that he took a taxi down from Millenia Walk after finishing work to pass the mount to me. I was very impressed and decided to post it here. Thanks to both of them for making my day. Below is the final outcome of the TV. Nicely done! hope your wife is happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mahjongace 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2010 hi mahjongace, i like ur irobot alot...just to checked with u how long does it take to do one full charge and how long it can last??? My wife hair drop easily, i always have to use costape to tape up the hair...xie xie.. hihi...first charge is 16hrs...but after that, after every full cleaning cycle of whole flat, it would go back to charge and should be about 3hrs for a full charge. But if you are going out on holidays (e.g. for a week) and not using the roomba, you would have to do a full charge of 16hrs again. Hair is not a problem anymore if you use your roomba every 1 or 2 days. Just schedule it to vacuum if you are working =). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mahjongace 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2010 hi mahjongace, tks for the info, very tempting to buy after ur review... Hehe LOL...ya very tempting if you are one that does not like to bend down, vacuum, drag cleaner again and again. haha. My initial vacuum was a dyson or miele vacuum cleaner with good feedback...but after i learnt about the i-robot from my friend and found out the price which is about the same (maybe more expensive by around $50) as a dyson or miele, i decided to go ahead with it since the biggest advantage is that i can just relax and watch the vacuum at work. LOL The only con is that have to sit down with roomba for around 15 mins to use brush to clear the dust in it after every cleaning cycle unlike vacuum can store the dust inside and clear it when it's full.

Btw, I think we also hv the same design sofa, juz dat brand is different...hehe The seller is robovac8 in ebay if im not wrong. haha the arm rest also as low as mine? i found similar designs but main different point is the arm rest area. i need it to be low so that at least i can lie down sideways on the sofa as well...shun bian let roomba vacuum that area.

mahjongace 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2010 Hee new photos of what was delivered yesterday: Finally the dining table from hommage but with more hiccups....zzz...but no choice since they were the only one that i saw that came up with a 900mm dining table. As mentioned by Eric, 1 of the chairs had an unremovable stain which was quite obvious. He mentioned that he dare not send it to me because sure cannot pass de (kenna sabo by his supplier again). Therefore, he gave me options of changing all to black chairs or to another design but we insisted on the same design. Therefore, have to wait another 1-2 months for that single chair. For now, 3 chairs are only available. Enjoy! Study Chair bought from Ebay...but the arm rest cannot be adjusted to go below the suspended table...LOL. BUt i still think the design is not too bad.
