Challenger, SLT or Mustafa easily can find. The later known to be the cheapest.

Hmm challenger only saw up to 100 watt. the newstar i bought is the highest wattage one in the shop.

many thanks

Ok so confirm that input means the voltage from the socket. So selected @ 220v -> will step down to 110v.

Yes i read about the maid switching the switch accidentally hehe.

not maid la, it is my PT domestic helper. Blew my transformer.

can't think of too many things that use up so much electricity from overseas

What you mean? 250w transformer? Wasteful against 100w?

Seem like there is a stampede for air purifier around. Quite a number of my friends ask me about the purifier when I posted I bought one from Amazon last night.

I just share here in case anyone looking for it.

Link to Amazon Honeywell HEPA Air Purifier (I think most deliver to Singapore)

Honeywell Pure HEPA Round Air Purifier, 50150-N (I bought this for my living room)

Honeywell 50250-S 99.97% Pure HEPA Round Air Purifier (A bigger version from what I bought)

Honeywell Long-Life Pure HEPA QuietCare Air Purifier, 17000 (This is very popular after Ong endorse it. Currently OOS from Amazon. Only 3rd party seller. U may want to wait for stock to come)

Honeywell Compact Air Purifier with Permanent HEPA Filter, HHT-011 (A small compact purifier that u can put on yr bedpost.)

What you mean? 250w transformer? Wasteful against 100w?

appliances that draw 250 watts.

kim76, last one the small one is not pure hepa when u search on honeywell website. So i would say its an air purifier but not full HEPA.

yes my 17000 is being shipped by UPS hehe... thankfully. Almost thought it was going to be i-parcel

How to know what type of transformer to buy?

i'm a bit mad as well. I bought 11 carbon pre-filters and the replacement HEPA filters already just in case i want to buy 1-2 more for my family's usage.

refer to above posts. or search the thread for "transformer". Lots of information.

It means can output max 250watts. It does not mean consumes 250watts all the time.

Your 50150 may need the 250W transformer at the most powerful setting...

thanks!

OMG!! You are stocking up too much, 1 pre filter can last you good for 3months at least. Hepa filter can last you 1.5 year at least.

haha ok story is like this. when i ordered, i wanted to buy 2 honeywell 17000. one for my parent's place, one for my in law's place. But >$400 sgd, so incur GST. So cancel. anyway the shipping fee is about the same whether one or two.

So i added 2 pre filters to the order.

Then i realised the filters and hepa filter replacements are free shipping. So i bought 9 of the pre-filters and 1 x hepa filter change (need 2 units for 1 machine).

haha i'm mad.

But i do intend to buy another 1 or 2 if i'm happy with this one... In case my parents/in laws ever need it.

I'm quite irked by this haze affecting my daughter. So my policy is "never again".
