Choo Chiang Is The Cheapest Place To Get Legrand Products In Singapore

If you are doing renovations in Singapore, most electricians will default to MK Electric by Honeywell for switches and sockets. They are value for money, but they could look better.

So if you want to change them, it has to be from your pocket, and they will not give you a discount for using your switches and sockets.

UNI-T Cable Tester (UT681C)

We have sold out first home and are renovating our new home. Since our new home is an HDB Resale Flat, we have to lay Cat 6 LAN cables around the house. To test whether those cables were working, I decided to get a Cable Tester.

There are many brands of cable testers that are available on Lazada and Shopee. But I ended up buying the UNI-T Cable Tester (UT681C) since I have bought UNI-T products before.

Roborock Q Revo – First Roborock With Spinning Mop

Roborock Q Revo is the first robot vacuum cleaner from Roborock that features a spinning mop. Before Roborock S7, Roborock used a cloth to do the mopping without additional features. Starting from Roborock S7, all mopping functionality is based on VibraRise, which uses the power of sound sonic vibration.

Now, the Roborock Q Revo uses a spinning dual-mop system that spins up to 200 RPM.

Dreame R20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Review

Dreame has three different types of series for their cordless vacuum. V series, R series, and T series. I am confused as to what are the differentiating factors between the series. There are various models for different price ranges between the series, so I can’t consider one flagship over the other.

I guess Dreame took the best features of the V12 Pro (flagship of the V series) and T30 (flagship of the T series) and came out with the R20.

Aqara Camera Hub G3 Review

I have used multiple Google Nest Cam in my current house, which has served me well. The connection is stable. The only time it went down was when my Internet was down. I even subscribe to Nest Aware for ten days of 24/7 video recording. I have integrated my Nest Cams to Apple HomeKit using Homebridge with Homebridge Nest Cam Plugin. The integration works well as well.

For my new house, which I hope to move into in Q4 2023, I am seeing if I can integrate smart home devices directly into HomeKit without running Homebridge on my Synology NAS.

Roborock S8 Pro Ultra Review

Roborock S8 Pro Ultra was launched 2 months back in Singapore. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra retails for S$1,769.90 on Shopee or Lazada. You can probably get it cheaper during double-digit sales day since you will be able to stack various vouchers from the platform on top of it as well.

Two colors are available for the S8 Pro Ultra, black and white.
