jass2112 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2012 We wanted to get Rowenta standing fan for our house, but this fan was temporarily out of stock. Courts couldn't promise when this model would arrive, so we KIV first, didn't commit to buy. We chose this fan because of the "Turbo Boost". The wind was really very strong when you turned on the Turbo button. Unlike other standing fan, you can only adjust the wind strength level, but this Rowenta fan can add "extra boost" to your wind speed, so you enjoy stronger wind power.Hi Aya, manage to get the fan already? I use my petrol points to redeem at caltex petrol yesterday, so it's free.They are also selling at $159 I think, can try your luck if you haven't got it.

We last saw was $139 when Courts ran out of stock. In the end we bought $28.90 fan from NTUC. Price is cheap, so we bought 3. When I wanted to grab one more, the fan is out of stock.

If I'm consumer, I won't know petrol kiosks selling fans. Bigger outlets demand is higher, so the price will be lower. So far have you tested the fan? Is it good? Yesterday we went NTUC buy fan again. Now we have 4 fans in our house. Hubby says I'm 夸张. 2 people staying, but need 4 fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ayazumi 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2012 We see the danger of installing ceiling fans at home, so we avoid. We never know when we will raise up our hands, forgotten about the ceiling fans, and that's it - fingers gone. The weird thing about HDB is, my parents' home is just 2 carparks away, but the ceiling is higher than ours. They can install normal ceiling fan. Even if we raise up our hands, we can't touch the ceiling fan. HDB didn't standardize their ceiling heights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
