  1. I was browsing through the forum and stumbled upon this post. coming from one who stays in punggol in a 4-rm flat with mbr toilet that uses rain shower and the common toilet who utilizes normal shower, with a prima fe10 ferroli gas water heater, I'd say that rain shower feels pretty much like rain to me, and showering, washing etc is not a problem. unlike @exxtreme, I don't need 20sec to get hot water running through the pipes. I have been using the gas water heater for close to 3 years now that I am staying here, and I am very pleased with the experience. Indeed, cost of bills dropped significantly as compared to my instant water heater water utilization in my previous residences. as for water tank, i think it's also good to identify where it's made from and whether it may rust. My boss stays in bukit panjang area and his water tank is in need of a replacement now after using it for about 8-years. I think to each his own, but thus far if you're staying at a new estate (BTO), going with gas centralized water heater, going with a central gas heater won't go very wrong. Oh, do position the heater at the right place, for me, my mistake is that i placed it at the hang-clothes area and it's now blocking the retractable clothes hangar. Another thing to note is that mine is Ferroli's model, as such, it requires a power outlet to fire up the gas. no battery needed, but need a power-socket. I would have loved to get Rinnai, as I am a jap fan, but the Rinnai requirement was to have a very ugly exhaust pipe that goes out to the window grille. Prima FE 10 didn't have such a requirement, and Max(Something) is a Chinese brand which I am not that comfortable with. That's why I went with Ferroli.
  2. anyone with the ikea kitchens like to share some photos and experience? the earlier post by frostyapple is no longer viewable. I personally like Ikea Design and concepts. I guess it's all down to materials. what materials you choose to build the kitchen will determine the longevity of the kitchen. of course the users play a huge part too! if you do catering business at home.. i doubt that ikea kitchen that cost less than 6-8k for counter, sink, cabinets all in will last for more than 2-3 years..
  3. v1, i think you should go for maybank. based on the people's comments at this point, it seems like Maybank and RHB offers the lowest rate. for DBS and POSB, it seems like you have to take a housing loan from them first before they offer the cheaper rate for renovation-personal loan..then it'll be comparable to the Maybank monthly rate. all in all, i personally think that one should not get more than 20k loan and payment should be as much as possible, paid within 3 years. Interest...interest... will get the better of you.
