OMG ... i only read it after you mentioned it. Thanks for pointing out. Luckily i was only there to see see look look, no purchase made. So when things are too good to be true, sometimes they really are, i guess. I was attracted by their low price.Oh well, guess I better stick to the more reputated ones, like Gain City/Harvey Norman/Courts/Best Denki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Makanology 29 Report post Posted August 9, 2013 Gain City is also quite risky... Think some forumers experienced problems with their installation as their guys tend to choose the easiest way to lay the pipes even if it is unsightly. Our previous landlord also experienced that when she was installing her air con. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MonsterBeng 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2013 Just went to inspect the soon-to-be-mine unit before the 2nd HDB appointment tomorrow, and I realised that the laminated flooring may need to redo, or change to tiles. When the unit is empty without furniture, a lot of flaws are revealed. Haiz.... looks like the reno will burn a big big hole in my wallet. Shall take some pics of the current state and post here after I take over the unit. Hopefully someone could help comment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScrambledEggs 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2013 I'm beginning to have doubts about Gain City. I recently purchased a system 2 because their sales dude claimed that the utility room of our 3I cannot install split unit. (We initially wanted a system 3) We then found out from our HDB technical officer that it can be done, just that Gain City has to apply for a permit to drill the wall in between the utility room and WC. In order to save that hassle, they were adament that "utility room cannot install one! If can, of course I will want to earn more $$ by selling you extra unit, but the problem is, we cannot install... Don't believe, ask your HDB tech officer lor".
