edward 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2011 Hey Edward,great to see you at renotalk again.I have recently bought a similar bladeless fan like Dyson (read replica made in China)and boy was it noisy.Rated 35W but less windy than my convection fan of 30W.Hi dexufto, great to chat you again I have been really lazy after my reno and nothing much to update, so seldom come on here. But since I got a new toy, thought of sharing with everyone here. My friend told me about the china fan too, I think she bought from Gmarket.com @ $36 only. *&^%, I feel like a Robert.

Recommendation to buy from those websites that provides local (singapore) warranty to your robot vaccums. Recently saw one of those on gmarket.com and streetdeal.com.sg.

edward 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2012 Before (look all nice)After (Corroded Hinges, where i have to replace half yearly)Complain complain complain!!!This is the first major complain since my renovation in Dec 10. It is the Hoe Kee wash basin + cabinet combi. It was advertise that this cabinet is able to withstand water and will not rot away, which is 100% true. However, since my toilet is so tiny, the shower area and the basin is next to each other. Due to the moisture of the environment as well as occasionally contact with water, the hinges corroded. I had to replace the hinges once every 6 months, which is frustrating. And to make matters worse, Hoe Kee charged me $15+ for a hinge, when I can get those hinges at < $2 from hardware stores like Viborg Trading. ANGRYYYYYYYY!!!So please consider, consider and re-consider if you intend to purchase from Hoe Kee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edward 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2012 Review of NOT so New ToyAfter my robot vacuum died, decided to buy either a rechargeable vacuum or an electric broom. Considering the price, decided to go for the electric broom (Karcher K 55 plus). This sweeper is cheaper than most rechargeable vacuum. It is also convenient to remove the dust from its dust pan. Despite the price and the ease of maintenance, it does not sweep very effectively. Often leaving alot of dust at the edges and instead of sweeping into the dust pan, pushes it forward. So it has basically failed its primary job. that is sweeping and removing dust. I am now in a dilemma, should I persist with the broom or get a conventional vacuum or robot vacuum. Hmm....
