Selectively "pantang" about the fengshui in my house ) and 3 LED lights (2 for the toilets and 1 for the service yard/bomb shelter) for approximately SGD$800 in total after taxes (paid about $31). The savings are pretty great i would say, but it does take a lot of trouble to lug the big boxes (quite heavy too) and it was especially tough for us when we decided to take the bus back to save the money. Please be prepared to carry your goods up the bus, carry it down again to go through customs and then finally back up again for the ride back to SG. Train/Cab would be a more comfortable option! And please please remember to bring a foldable trolley to wheel your goods around unless you are strong like the hulk heh. Hi Pipsqueak, Found your nice blog when I was googling on reviews for the vento fino fan. Any feedback on the speed of the fan? Is it strong enough to cool down an entire room? Also, just curious... can you share how and where you placed the fan in your master bedroom? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi @orangecrab thanks for the compliments! we are very happy with the fan - we placed it at the corner of our MBR which is right beside the window. We found it to be very windy for us at medium speed and with the oscillation turned on. However please note that the fan tends to be a bit noisy when turned on because it is an AC fan, not DC fan which is quieter. We are ok with the fan sound though - actually quite therapeutic for us LOL. Edited July 31, 2017 by pipsqueak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup it is a new BTO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not rotating as well. Was wondering if you have any contacts to those who deal with fino fan repairs? Called amasco but they are reluctant in doing so cos fan was not bought from them. Any help would be great! Ps. To those who are considering in buying the fino fan, it's a great fan with great speed which thus create a breezy home. Just fyi. =) thanks in advance guys!

As mentioned by others who have met him before, he was dressed in t-shirt and berms and slippers and he met us in Macs to discuss the quote. He was blunt and straight to the point, calling some of my ideas "snake with many legs" haha but i guess we really liked his honesty and sarcasm. He was also the last person we met to revise the quote and we decided to engage him on the spot because he was both reasonable and we liked how he highlighted some of the potential problems/issues and there was no sugar-coating at all. Another reason we chose Nick was because we wanted a contractor and not an ID - somebody who is experienced in the area of knowing what problems may arise in the technicality and practicality of renovations, while I am somewhat confident enough of us coming up with our own designs (all inspired of course, from pinterest ) . He's proved to be the right choice..so far Thank you for your review! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
