I decided to start this blog to share and document anything that I have researched, experimented and tried out that might be useful to anyone or even myself because as time passed by, my memory might failed me (closed friends know how forgetful I can be and especially now with age catching up! Lol)
Since we have no maid (Feb 2013), we have taken advantage of many high-tech home/kitchen appliances that replace or simplify the tasks that were previously performed by our domestic helper! I researched extensively online and we bought an irobot roomba, an irobot scooba, clothes dryer, Sharp Healsio Steam Oven(AX-1500V), Tiger Thermal Pot, Endo Thermal Pot,Thermomix etc.
During the process, I also realise that if we are willing to spent a 'little' time to make a few phone calls, most of the times we can save a couple of dollars to a few hundreds dollars on just one appliance!

Note: Bought our Brandt washing machine & clothes dryer with Mr Lee after a few phone calls to a few shops listed and ordered on the phone without going down to the shop. But for certain items, better price will be given if go down to the shop personally. Mr Lee(the boss) is friendly & helpful if call at the 'right' time!

MEGA DISCOUNT STORE
101 Thomson Road United Square
#B1-56D/E
Singapore 307591
Tel: 6254 7998 (Jing Jing)
Note: Jing Jing is a very helpful lady whom I have chatted a few times while checking the above appliances that we bought, but the prices were never the lowest so I never buy from this store. This month, when I decided to upgrade our fridge (Hitachi 6-Door R-C6800S Made in Japan)
and when I called, Jing Jing referred me to her colleague, Andy, and the price they quoted were much higher than Everjoint & Parisilk! As I was about to hang up my call after thanking him & telling him that I can get it much cheaper elsewhere, he asked me for the price and quoted me a cheaper price to match as they were having a roadshow & I believe they have a quota to meet! Love the vacuum compartment of this fridge, especially good for fresh sashimi, vegetables & fruits!
They really stay fresh longer!
There are a few other shops that was mentioned in renotalk.com and hardwarezone.com.sg but I never get to call them because the price quoted by the above few shops are already very attractive! Kindly note that these shops mostly accept cash or cheque upon delivery and so far, I am able to order by phone without going down personally! Please remember to call a few of them to compare prices!
The following are the other few shops:

ReplyDeleteHi Sophiev, Sorry for the late reply. I got it for S$899 nett. Should be cheaper now as I got mine when it was first launched in Singapore. Have been using it for a few years and would highly recommend it. There was a newer model AX-1600 launched last year.
DeleteHmmm I have got real pleasure from your blog and also Derived a benefit from this information you imparted to us. Thanks one for all universal remote
