reglxt 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2011 OH MY GOD... you're so online shopping savvy. you're like ebay queen. LOL... managed to get so many gd deals online... the last time, I've checked, wireless ip cam costs in the hundreds... to get it for $80... seems like a gd lobang (or maybe such products have become cheaper, since the last time i've checked)... Anyway, I intend to install my surveillance cam at the red spot. Likely to get an outdoor set... hmmm... I'm new to online shopping dont worry you will be expert soon heee ..

marshmallow 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2011 mine is Ti-Shape 30. Capacity: 30 Litres / 8 Gallons; Power: 1.5 KW; Volt & Phase: 230V x 1 Power = 1.5kW.... no wonder take so long, 30L some more.... Jovan ones in market are normally 3kW, that's why it's faster (to be precise, 1.5kW will take double the time since the power rating is half). you should have gotten the 3kW one instead... feeling really sorry for you... btw, how you managed to get the hob installed in the end?

May_dream1 14 Report post Posted January 25, 2011 Maybe you should really check with them again. if it's the 3kW model, it shouldn't take so long. my previous place's Ariston was in use for more than 10 yrs and it never took so long. What model was your previous model?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
