Mova P50 Ultra Review
Dasher sent me the Mova P50 Ultra robot vacuum, from the same group as Dreame. It comes in two variants: the P50 Ultra at S$699 and the Pro Ultra at S$999, the latter adding a liftable roller brush and auto-detergent.
Home Appliance
Home appliances I have tested, led by robot vacuums and the odd water heater.
Roborock Dyad Air Review
The Roborock Dyad Air is the mid-range model in Roborock's Dyad wet-and-dry vacuum series, retailing for S$499.90. At S$200 less than the Dyad Pro, it drops to a single roller and loses the automatic cleaning-solution dispenser.
Ariston Slim2 Lux-D Wi-Fi Review
A longtime Ariston user, I chose the Slim2 Lux-D Wi-Fi, a 'smart' water storage heater unlike the dumb Andris Lux I had to wire up myself. It launched in Singapore in April 2023.
Roborock Q Revo – First Roborock With Spinning Mop
The Roborock Q Revo is the brand's first robot vacuum with a spinning mop, moving away from the sonic VibraRise system. Its dual mops spin up to 200 RPM and lift 7mm for vacuuming.
Dreame R20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Review
Dreame splits its cordless vacuums into confusing V, R, and T series. The R20 seems to blend the best of the V12 Pro and T30 flagships, and like the T series it features a removable battery.
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra Review
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the flagship, retailing for S$1,769.90 in black or white. The robot offers 6,000Pa suction, dual roller brushes, and VibraRise 2.0 mopping, with the Pro Ultra adding an all-in-one dock.
Roborock S8 Now With DuoRoller, Improved 6,000Pa Suction, and VibraRise 2
The Roborock S8 is the successor to the popular S7 I bought two years ago. It retails for S$799.90, with a 4/4 flash sale dropping it to S$749.90, adding DuoRoller brushes and 6,000Pa suction.
Acaia Lunar
My Hario V60 drip scale was laggy and bulky for weighing espresso shots, so I went endgame with the Acaia Lunar. Listed at US$250, I bought it from Daily Grind Supply for S$379.
Niche Zero
Starting espresso, the first lesson was to get a good grinder, and the Niche Zero is the default. At £499 plus shipping, GST, and fees, it cost me about S$1,015, cheaper than buying locally.
Dreame H12 Pro Wet & Dry Vacuum Review
The Dreame H12 Pro is a 3-in-1 wet and dry vacuum, adding self-cleaning over the standard H12. Launching 11th November 2022 at S$729, early-bird pricing dropped it to S$649, or S$614 with the code DREALESTE.
DreameBot L10s Ultra Review
The DreameBot L10s Ultra is Dreame's flagship robot cleaner. Dreame is part of the Xiaomi ecosystem, distributed exclusively in Singapore by Dasher. It retails for S$1,599, Shopee-exclusive until end September 2022, with early-bird pricing lower.
Roborock G10 Review
The Roborock G10 launched in Singapore on 7th July 2022 with an RRP of S$1,699, though double-digit sales days routinely bring it far lower, to around S$999.90 on both Shopee and Lazada.
Roborock Q7 Max Review
The Roborock Q7 Max launches the mid-range Q series, sitting between the S and E lines. It is the successor to the S5 Max and retails for S$699, known in some markets as the T7 Max.
Roborock Auto-Empty Dock Review
After getting my Roborock S7, I wanted the Auto-Empty Dock, but it was perpetually out of stock. Checking daily finally paid off when Shopee restocked it on 29th December 2021, and I bought it for S$481.90.
FOREO ISSA 3 Toothbrush Review
FOREO is a Swedish beauty-tech brand best known for its LUNA facial cleansing massagers. I discovered it has electric toothbrushes too, under the ISSA line. The ISSA 3 is its third-generation adult toothbrush, retailing for S$246.
Roborock S7 Review
My first Singles' Day buy was the Roborock S7 to replace my nearly five-year-old iRobot Roomba 980. Against an RRP of S$799, an 11/11 flash sale and stacked vouchers brought my price down to just S$598.47.
Koncept Z-Bar LED Desk Lamp Review
My second Koncept Z-Bar LED Desk Lamp, after one I've used for over eight years. Sole distributor Bridgemen kindly sent me the Z-Bar (AR3000) along with a desk clamp and occupancy sensor to feature here.
ILife Shinebot W450 Review
I bought the ILife Shinebot W450 from Lazada for S$249.99, down from its S$320 retail after 8/8 sale discounts and vouchers. It's a single-purpose mopping robot, so unlike most robot cleaners it doesn't vacuum at all.
ORIA Digital Hygrometer Thermometer Display
I picked up the ORIA Digital Hygrometer Thermometer Display during a Lazada flash sale for S$9.20. It reads temperatures from -10 to 50°C and humidity from 10% to 99%, running on two AAA batteries.
Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5100 Electric Toothbrush
After nearly three years, my Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart toothbrush died, refusing to power on despite charging. Rather than replace like-for-like, I opted for the cheaper Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5100 as my new electric toothbrush.
Close Comfort Cool Focus Portable Air Conditioner Review
The Close Comfort Cool Focus is a personal air conditioner designed to cool people rather than a whole room, like a fan on steroids. From an Australian-Singapore startup, it retails for S$649 and draws around 300W.
Belkin Economy Series 4-Socket Surge Protector
Turning on my new computer tripped my main circuit breaker, and the PC wouldn't power on afterwards, likely a fried PSU. To guard against future surges, I picked up the Belkin Economy Series 4-Socket Surge Protector.
