    Hi, read your reviews on Roomba. Is it really so amazing as always hear people give good feedbacks on it. Got a pic of your Roomba at work?

    It's not amazing, it's a robot, a gadget, more like a toy to me instead of a home appliance. Get your husband to learn lar, so he will take over the cleaning job.....that explain why my wife dun need to worry too much about cleaning the floor....she's a magic clean person, I hate that, not very environmental friendly....

    The good thing is, it is very very clean after each run, coz in average, it will vacuum 5 times per spot. It has a home base (mid range and above model I think 550 and above) so that it will go back and charge itself after each run. The virtual wall & lighthouse can guide it to another rooms, so you can plan its job according to its capability.

    The bad thing? You need to be someone who loves to deal with robot. They are robot, and they are dirty, you need to do maintenance on and off. If you use it frequently, you may need to dismantle it once a month to clean everything so that it will last. it is running on 110v (unless you pay double or tripple the price to buy local stuff) so you need to modify the power supply or use a 110v transformer to charge it. Most importantly, it has a solid bumper....so it will bang all your furniture legs.....i am forced to put extra cushion at the bumper to reduce damage....Scooba is worse....super solid hard bumper.....sigh....

    This is what I see for single vacuum, look at the fine dust it's able to suck up....

    This is how it looks like when "resting" itself at the homebase....

    I dun support the local dealer, coz with that kind of $$$, you can afford to buy 2 units, in case 1 down, the other one can be activated immediately :)

    anyway, with Roomba, it makes my mopping job very easy :D The water will never be "black" anymore......

    Scooba_Cat_A.jpg

    Floor cleaning robot.. effortless.. :D :D :D

    Used to have this, and thought I can get lazy, BUT I WAS WRONG!!!!

    iRobot Scooba is only great for bathroom & kitchen. For big area, a lot of time it can't clean finish within 1 round of water.....so you will end up watching it to crawl...slowly, and then change water and clean the brush....very troublesome :( The worse thing is, you can't simply let it run without you around, anytime it can hit anything happily and cause short circuit or whatever thing you could imagine.....coz it's carrying water, dun play play.....It will be perfect only if it can go back to its base and change water itself.....wait long long for the next generation of Scooba.

    I sold mine and bought a Roomba instead. Shoik!

    Roman mop was my first attempt in fast mopping strategy....close to 2 years, it's good but it can't covers corners very well (but surprisingly iRobot Roomba can!!!). Passed by Isetan and saw the Leifheit Profi set selling at $258.....very tempted to buy, but decided to search around the web and found this thread lol!

    Sh*t missed this great deal at $168.....will try my luck again on Monday then :( yokine9a thanks for the tips!

    From my understanding,

    1. Plasma tv consume 20% more energy than LCD TV.

    2. Plasma producing more heat compare to LCD TV.

    3. As the plasma tv is use for a period of time when the xenon and neon gas depleted , the user might have to get it refill. Not cheap i think.

    alan26, your this piece of info is like 4-5 years old liaoz leh.....refill gas? come on....give me a break.....was curious why didn't you also mention burn mark?

    LCD is a component called backlight. That's the thing can make LCD visible. The current it draws is constant no matter if you view full dark or full white screen. Like what ncy mentioned, Plasma draws much lesser power in dark screen.

    This will eventually average out the total electricity consumption. And based on my experience, it is lower than same size LCD :D My samsung full hd 50" Plasma is consuming about 300W, try checking how much a 46" or 52" LCD? You will be shocked....btw, dun look at the specs, you need a power meter to measure the power consumption yourself, over a period of time.

    I always share that, dun buy LCD because you thought it can save you $$$.....it may not be the case and you're sacrificing the PQ.....nevertheless, LED backlight LCD TV may be different story, unfortunately, the price is still too high.....i can't imagine paying $5K for a 46" LED backlight LCD TV.....

    not easy to unplug the aircon switch leh.....round 3 pin one.....and the bigger aircon for living room one only got switch, no plug.....but well, we only turn on once or twice a month....so....may not see any difference.

    dun use LCD TV lar, Plasma may save you more $$$$....coz LCD TV is drawing almost maximum electricity in constant manner, Plasma will draw less energy when showing black, more energy when showing white.....my 50" FHD only drawing 300W+ in average.....

    Just manage to grab one after attended the demo @ Plaza Singapura. Wow...the carrot hoh, taste so sweet!!!!!

    Chicken & Fish also taste very nice, without oil one.....all very natural and healthy!

    The demo auntie said they are clearing stocks at $899 @Taka basement, so I rushed down with my Best card, and guess what? it was on-sale @$699 yesterday....the salesman even said he felt sorry for those who bought on Saturday or earlier..... original price was $1469.....

    Just wondering if anybody also using this toy in the kitchen. Mind sharing your "secret recipe" in using this water oven?

    I'm waiting for it to be delivered......

    The new model cost about $1300, bigger capacity (31 liter) + microwave function. Made in Thailand though....this one is made in Japan.

    Saw Sharp got a new model selling at below $1400...wow, **** ex leh....

    but it claimed that it will reduce the fat and salt content, and retain the vitamins.

    Anybody using that? Would it make cooking much easier and faster?

    But for sure the power consumption is going to shoot up.......1300W menz....

    What about the Panasonic one? even more expensive.....

    If it's really meet my requirement, will wait til Best or Harvey Normal having promotion to give complimentary 5 yrs warranty then buy hehe.....

    I was at HN and clearly able to see burn marks on various units of different brands. The burn marks are channel logo on top right hand corner. Is this issue really resolved? pls enlighten. Many thanks in advance.

    I think their 1 day operation is your 1 week~1 month operation and it's running at "demo mode". Perhaps you could share what are the brands and models you saw with burnt mark? my Samsung P9 has been running for more than 1 year, never see any burnt mark, I do turn on the anti-burnt mark function by moving the whole screen a pixels a direction every few mins :D

    Talking about Pioneer, (hope this is not out of topic), is it still wise to buy Pioneer after hearing news that pioneer is withdrawing from TV market? Just worry about the after sales support and services.

    I was almost set in buying a kuro. Besides having remarkable "blacks", it has this function to "clean up" burn in images. but...

    What could be other plasma recommendations of closest capabilities?

    Thanks!

    black is unbeatable for Kuro, but would you really care after a while? is it good to have or die die must have?

    burnt mark issues was resolved years ago. I dunno who told you that you still need to worry about burnt mark for Plasma....lol!

    Check out Panasonic, Samsung & LG's Plasma. I can only say Kuro is not worth every single cent you pay for. Let them die, by natural selection :D

    actually the philips one also cannot

    i was tempted by the convenience but didn't notice that they use small fruits during the demo

    so can only throw in whole small fruits.

    those naval oranges all cannot :(

    how big is your "naval orange"? Philips one is the biggest already....I got no problem with all the apples leh...but of course super giant size fuji cannot lar.

    Normal orange must remove the skin lar, too thick already....will taste funny if you just dump in like that.

    Will recommend you a Healsio if budget allows.

    Do a search in the net and you will know the

    pros & cons. It basically has both oven & microwave

    functions just that its much healthier. :sport-smiley-003:

    what's the cons? if electricity is the only cons, then this oven is perfect already lol!

    but well, at $1.4K, it's still not the right choice yet....or rather, I shall say, not the right price yet.... :D

    i don't have blu ray player so not sure about the resolution

    one thing about the kuro is it has an in-built up-scaler

    so even though it's only hd-ready, it offers significantly better PQ than other plasmas :good:

    i beg to differ. Pioneer image is OK but definitely not worth the extra bucks....Panasonic & Samsung has more value for money panel compared to Pioneer. However, if you really like the blackest/darkest panel in the world....that's Pioneer....it's so dark that it may not look natural at all......

    all TV has in-built scaler, Pioneer's doesn't really have the best, in fact I dun trust any in-built TV scaler. I got a DVDO Edge to upscale anything below 1080i.

    Er...Jack Lalane power juicer?

    Been using that for about 3 years. Very good and silent.

    that one is the same as buffalo juicer, dunno OEM from where one...can you can't throw in the whole apple/orange without cutting them.......

    it's heavy duty, but not high performance as the motor won't spin fast......but it has trigger to stop the motor if it gets over-heated......quite an old technologies liaoz....

    this new Philips one is FAST & FURIOUS....and never get overheated even with long hour usage.....

    My parents' house is using a buffalo brand (dun think it's available in SG) and it is very heavy duty and spin steadily...but it cost around $300+ but the juice really taste nice....

    then I came across the Philips 700W one.....NTUC was selling at $249...then the Funan Harvey roadshow was selling it for $189....basically you just throw the whole apple in and within seconds...it will turn into juice....taste nice from the raodshow, but just wondering if anybody own it.....$60 is a huge discounts....called HongLiang, they dun carry it :(

    is there any other similar juicer that you also find as powerful or more powerful than the Philips? I also saw some fruit stalls using the same model....
