Chinese customers are unhappy with their fridge

I saw this article in a Chinese paper, where a blogger was unhappy with his Siemens Fridge.
Badly managed by the company, I must say, and bad customer service.

I am happy that I have a fridge from Electrolux. It is a quality appliance, and works well so I have never needed to talk to their Cusomer Service.

Dryer in Singapore

The wet and rainy season has come to Singapore, and it might be a good thing to buy a dryer. Then you do not need to wait forever for your clothes to dry.

My strong recommendation is the Iron Aid Dryer. That is dryer that gently uses steam to make your clothes less wrinkled. Even if you do not do the ironing yourself, it makes them fresher (apart from easier to iron). You can for example have it to refresh jacket etc. Have a look of this innovative dryer:



That is a dryer perfect in Singapore

Cafe Scandinavia in Japan

H&M have been in Japan for quite sime time, and just recently set up a store at Orchard Road in Singapore. But now there is a Café Scandinavia opening up in Japan. Has that something to do with the Scandinavian design?

You tell me. What is Scandinavia? In Japan? In Singapore?

AEG is now launching a new set of appliances in Australia, called AEG Neue Kollektion. You can read about it here.

When looking at the pictures, they sure look good. I hope there is a chance to get hold of them also in Singapore. I do not want to move to Australia just to have them in my kitchen.

Singapore Haze and Air Quality

We are now in the midst of the Sumatra Rain Forest clearing season. That means fires and a lot of smoke. When the wind is blowing in the worng direction, the air is getting really bad.


There is a PSI index published that tells you what the air quality is currently. You find it here.

Eventhough both Singapore and Malaysia are complaining to Indonesia, nothing really seems to happen. Straits Times are following the issue. CNN claims that Indonesia is trying to make rain.

My recommendation is to buy yourself an aircleaner. That can help relieve the runny noe and aching eyes. And then hope that it will pass - wind and rain is very welcome.

Dishwashers in Singapore

Unfortunately this Dishwasher is not available in Singapore, it is only sold in the US. I have checked.

But after reading this article on a Very Good Dishwasher, in eMerecedBenz, I have realized that is the Diswasher I want. But I cannot get it, unless I move to New York or so, and that is not in the cards.

Too bad. But other Dishwashers are available in Singapore too.

AEG Appliances in Singapore

I have been searching online, and in stores, but I do not seem to find any AEG Appliances in Singapore. Does anybody know where they can be found?

I have learned that AEG makes the most quiet appliances - which I really would like.

I have found AEG in Australia, and in Germany, but not in Singapore? Do you know if there is any distributor for those appliances, in Singapore?

Where to buy Washing Machine in Singapore

Where do you best buy a Washing Machine in Singapore?

First of all - decide if you want a Front Load Washing Machine or a Top Loader. The strong recommendation is to go for a Front Load Machine. It uses a lot less energy and water - something that is very important in Singapore. If you still are into Top Loads, make sure you get a agitiator model - as they are much gentler on you clothes. Normal Top Loads do wear them quickly.

When it comes to buying a washing machine, I strongly recommend the Electrolux Concept Store. Great service and a way to understand their Washing Machines.You find it here.

Where to buy

A summary of stores can be found here. Other recommendations are Harvey Norman and Courts. They are, however, not specialized and you get a young guy selling phones and plasma TVs trying to explain a washing machine for you. As effective as discussing fashion with your car repair guy?
