    HN selling $499, novita website selling $469. but ND290i currently out of stock in singapore. Is the dehumidifier very noisy when operation? this site selling for $440, not sure can order or not. free delivery

    Noise confirm will have but it's not loud. If u r light sleeper, dun put it inside the room. Just put the dehumidifier in other room when u r sleeping.

    My electrical bills differ every month. Actually if u can on air con and zzz, the dehumidifier electricity bill should be considered cheap. I on it almost 24hrs. Just put it at different location of the house everyday.

    I dunno if the dehumidifier can wipe off mould which are already grown on the wall. But it's true that the bugs get lesser. Maybe lesser mould for them to feed on?

    I bought my dehumidifier from Harvey Norman when they are having $50 discount for the dehumidifier. So it's $499 - $50. Quite a good deal. Can check with HN again and see if the promotion is still on.

    When use dehumidifier, is it to turn off fan and close door and close window while using? you bought novita ND290?

    Yup. For bet results, close the door and window, switch on dehumidifier only. I always switched it on before going to work. After coming back home, u will realise the air in the room is a bit dry. I think mine is ND290. The lowest in electricity comsumption.

    I had bought a novita dehumidifier about $450. At first refuse to buy cos quite ex and what if it dun solve the problem. But wife insist on buying. about 1 month of use, I can say that the bugs is getting much lesser til it's barely noticeable. U just take turns for each room and leave the dehumidifier on and it just solve the problem. Furthermore, if ur house got lots of leather items ie bags, sofa etc, u will realise that the mould really get lesser or no more.

    After reading your story, I feel for u. However, there's forever some black sheeps among every profession. Just dunno when u will encounter the black sheeps only. Seems like I will also say the same things as the others Ie: lodge a police report the police will also tell u this is a civil case whereas u have to approach small claims tribunal or get your lawyer to do the necessary actions against the contractor. Since there's a contract signed between u & him, then can consider sue him for breach of agreement and go for compensation.

    Cheating doesn't stand as he indeed have started the renovation services. Cheating stands if he took your money but in fact, he did not have the intention or means to carry out your renovation at all. Breach of agreement is the correct terms to use. So the police will not get involved for this kind of case.

    Most important thing now is whatever compensation he had promised u, dun agree or sign anything. if u agreed, then even if u sue him, he can defend and say u had already settled the matter and accepted his compensation to him. Why now still sue for more? U wont be able to claim more form him.

    Go to Ho Kee at Plaza Singapura. U can find same design at different size. I bought mine for less than $30. Cheap and durable. Been using it for about 1 year and no problem. Ikea bins I find the mechanism very loose and might break after long usage. Though it's only a bin but at least it's a buy and forget thing.

    My 5 room unit comes with a balcony which I tear it down to make the living room look bigger. However, the balcony comes with a pipe near to the window. Hence, during the renovation, my ID recommend me to use box up to cover the pipe so that the pipe will not stick out like a sore thumb.

    I realised that the bugs come mostly from the box up area as they like to stick to the box up. The rest of my house also got these bugs though not as much as the box up area. They did not bother me much. Only that every few days, i have to use vacuum cleaner to suck all the bugs.

    Is there a possibility that due to the fact that inside the box up, there is piping ie water n moisture that's y the bugs are attracted?

    Try IMM U-Home? I was introduced to the ID by my 2 friends who had their home renovated by U-Home. Price wise reasonable. Some ID company will have low price but subsequently add in prices such as haulage, transportation costs, electrical rewiring costs on top of the contract prices u had signed.

    All these add on will increase your cost and it might not be stated on the initial quotation.

    Hi guys, my panasonic air con was installed about 4 months and now I faced problem whereas my master bedroom air con will give out some kind of smelly odour when I just switched it on. It will only go away about 30mins later. I had tried putting air freshener in my room but didn't help.

    I call up the contractor who install my air con and also panasonic. Both told me that my house is not well ventilated hence the odour. Panasonic also told me that my air con comes with the ion function so no need to worry that I will be breathing in unpure air.

    I was thinking for those office with no open window, they also cant ventilate the interior what. My wife and I do not eat inside the master bedroom. The other 2 bedroom air con did not have the odour though.

    Anyone facing the same problem or have any solutions to my problem? Please help. Thanks.

    Abusive language ie vulgarities can be further pursue when the victim lodge a Magistrate's complaint at subordinates court. U call police first, police arrive, police take down the other party particulars, u take down the report number given by police then go lodge the complaint at sub court. After that pursue all the way, the defendant will have to meet u in court and then fined by court.

    I did that before. But remember to record down what the other party says. if possible video it down. that way, he got no means to deny it when the police arrive. that fella sure wont admit he use vulgarities wat. Who will admit he do wrong one?

    Hi, I just move into my house less than a month and often face problems whereas the clothes which I had washed are smelly. Scenario is like this. I would put my sweaty clothes into pail and fill it up with water and leave it overnight. after that, wash clothes using washing machine plus dynamo liquid detergent. After that hang dry but not direct sunlight cos dun wanna hang outside the kitchen windows. Scared neighbours upstairs will dirty the clothes. So hang it inside the kitchen for 1 day and sometimes 2 days. However, my clothes sometimes will smell.

    Is it true that when put clothes inside pail with water overnight, add some lemon slices would help to "kill away" the smell? Or is it that I somehow have to get my clothes out in the sunlight to dry properly???

    Pls advise as I know nuts about this..... Thanks.

    could it be silicone? my house's flooring also have quite a few black stains. turns out its residual silicone from carpentry works. had to scrape it off using a penknife. do it lightly tho, u dun wanna scratch the tiles

    Dun think it's silicone, it's more like those scotch tape residue which is proving hard to remove. Will fight a war tomolo using mam lemon again.......

    i ordered quite a lot of items in a single sitting so when they delivery came i was rather busy checking the products and hence overlooked this matter. i'd actually went down to the shop and again ask the salesgirl for the confirmation that its tempered glass. its word against words but i have witness ..since their items are manufactured by different companies i believe its the manufacturer that is at fault. but on the bright side.. i juz received a call from them agreeing to change the item to another of the same value. im not putiing 100% blame on them which is why i didnt ask for them to compensate medical fees. all im asking is for some sense of responsibility.. its my 1st time buying tempered glass.. so i didnt really know wat to look out for.

    At least now the shop agree to change the item for u. Better than not changing and they just act blur. Sometimes buying furniture can be a headache for parents. Need to see got sharp corners or not.....Glass tempered or not...

    cannonsiao:

    1) the display table itself in their showroom had the word 'tempered' on the surface and salesgirl verbally told me its tempered. however the delivery order is not stated. when my table arrived there is no word 'tempered' and that i realised only recently. now they are claiming its only 40% tempered but i have doubts cos even if its 40% tempered the degree of the shattered glass was as gd as non tempered glass at all.

    2) my son was reaching out for something below the table and upon getting up banged his head and i repeat his head (not some hard or heavy objects) on the bottom layer of the glass. he didnt climb up at all and the top layer glass is unaffected.

    thanks all.. my son is ok now. im thankful for that.

    Hi, if that's the case that when they deliver the goods, it's your responsibility to check that the goods that arrived are correct. If you sign on the delivery order, it's kinda hard to hold them liable if anything happens since you already signed and acknowledged that the goods delivered are correct.

    Unless there's proof that the good delivered are defective right from the beginning then can at least bring your case up.

    Not defending the shop but you have quite a weak case here.

    U would like to go to CASE in regards to this matter. Maybe there's a few question u need to ask yourself before proceeding to CASE to see if they can help u.

    1) Is there anything stated on your delivery order which states clearly the glass for the coffee table is tempered glass? Or rather is just from the mouth of the salesgirl? If there's nothing stated on your delivery order, then you might not have a case since the company can turn back on their words and said since when did they tell u it's tempered glass?

    2) How did the accident happened? Ie: did your boy actually climb onto the top of the glass? If that's the case, I think tempered glass might not be able to hold your boy's weight.

    Hope that your boy is ok now.

    marbles dropping in the middle of the night

    furniture moving above my flat in the middle of the night...

    do these count?

    My boss who a malay told me that marble and furniture moving sound got explanation one. Every house have their own guardian ie spirit. Hence the spirit would sometimes try to be funny by disturbing your sleep. Hence the sounds of marble and furniture. Last time when I was staying with my parents and in my room, keep on hearing marble drop on floor or pin drop on floor, dragging of chairs or furniture etc. Angry, I went up to confront my neighbours. Turn out that they were a young couple with no kids, they even invite me into their house and there's no marbles found at all.....Embarassed, I apologise to them...

    Then during one of my conversation, I brought up this issue and my boss laughed. He said it's the spirit disturbing me. It mean no harm de. Then boss tell me Malays believe in house spirits and also told me to ignore the noise caused. Then the spirit see that I couldn't be bother then won't disturb anymore.

    True enough, when I heard the noises again, I just act as if I never hear then carry on sleeping. End up the noise subside and dun have again.
