Homefix has the ones with the foot peddle. I got mine there. So far ok and I've had it for a few months. My 7 year can also use it to help me mop the floor. I think Homefix warranty it for 6 months. Personally I like and it's very dry.

Is it the orange colour one? I have seen it but it looks heavy.

Yes, the orange one. A bit heavy but feels stable and tougher. Anyway I don't carry it around. Just lift it only to pour out water in the toilet.

Hi Claudine


The vent tube can divert the hot air out of the kitchen thru the window so I dun think kitchen will be hot. My dryer is in my yard so no problem with hot air.

24-hr mum,


I use Tiger brand for oven toaster. I choose it basically it’s a reputable brand. You can get it at $48 from ISETAN when there’s a sale. As to whether to wrap food, you wrap when

1. there’s going to be splatter when food sizzles.
2. your food is ‘thick’ and going to take some time to cook but you don’t want the top to become ‘chowtah’


You can open top when you ready to brown/crisp the food.

Robinsons advertised today on its spin mop. It is selling at $42 but does not have the foot peddle to dry the mop. I am looking for those with foot peddle because I think with that, it is more effortless than using hand to push up and down to dry the mop.


Those who are using spin mop now, can share if what I think is correct?

I used to have the spin mop. It spoilt within a few months. Can't remember exactly how long it lasted, but pretty short. I won't recommend.

My spin mop's almost a year old and it's still very hardy. Bought from robinson, it's maroon in colour, quite ex, abt 69 after discount. It can also spin to rinse.

Didn't get the blue one from Robinson because you have to push handle up and down. Also the mop head is pretty sparse, not enough contact of fabric on the floor.

I didn't see any other spin mop other than the blue one in Robinson. Your maroon mop has the foot peddle to spin dry? Is it by Kessler?

Did you drop your iron? If yes, then it's time to change a new one.

Hi, can someone recommend me a good microwave oven - those that can grill, heat up and bake even. Due to space constriant, i thought of buying a "all-in-one" machine to do all these. Most importantly to grill and heat up. Thanks
