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

If you want an iron instead of an ironing system, then Rowenta is actually quite good. The steam power is quite strong especially their top of the line model - works a bit like Laurastar dry and steam iron. Press trigger for continuous steam and release trigger for dry ironing. There is also an additional button for stronger jets of steam for stubborn creases.

I almost got a Laurastar G4 system (the base model) but my friend told me that I won't be able to refill water into the water tank unless I wait for it to cool down. So if you are getting a Laurastar, you might want to get the second level up. So I ended up getting a Rowenta Steamium Iron instead and I'm happy with it.

You can consider Panasonic microwave convection oven, which bakes cakes beautifully. I used the oven for eight years before my maid destroyed it, together with many other electric appliances. Panasonic comes out with new models every few years, so you need to make inquiries before buying.
