Philips gear, from Sonicare toothbrushes and Hue lighting to garment care.
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.
The Philips SpeedPro Max Aqua is a cordless vacuum with an integrated mop function, a market first. It retails for S$799 at most stores, with an online promotion. I kept the unit after this unpaid review.
The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart Electric Toothbrush launched on 28th September 2017, timed for World Heart Day, with Philips a World Heart Federation partner. The smart toothbrush retails for S$399 in Singapore.
Philips hue lets you control your lights wirelessly through a smartphone or tablet app. It launched in Singapore on 13th November 2013 as an Apple Online Store exclusive, then reached Apple Premium Resellers and Philips outlets from 11th December.
