Those with water tanks are able to apply higher steam pressure. So the creases are ironed out really fast. Strangely, the steam from Laurastar seems less harsh but can do the work better. Laurastar also allows one to iron all kinds of materials, eg. silk, rubber prints, all at hi temperature without any problem
And if u get S4 model and above, there is a blower underneath the board which can either blow the clothing or suck the clothing to the board.
With the blower on board, u need not keep straightening the shirt during ironing as the blower action will keep the material straight. When ironing clothes with pockets, also not likely to have a crease cause by the pocket beneath. The suction is self explanatory, the clothing will stay stuck without u holding on to the clothes. Good for pleats or ironing the front of the shirt.
Mayb i have used the iron with water tank wrongly the last time. After ironing, the shirts look straight but the creases set in after a while. I do not have such problem with Laurastar.

any recom for market trolley?

Shop n Save aluminium trolley @23.90 I think. Lightweight, spacious, height very suitable for front pushing albeit looking abit like walking aid for the folks.

Another kind with soft folding, detachable bag with pulled strings top is only suitable for back pulling. Can be tiring and hard to manoevre if pushing forward due to only having 2 wheels. [email protected], I bought mine at 19.90. Can't really contain much.

NTUC has the same trolley as Shop n Save but without the brand name and cost 26.90 I think.

is the ntuc / shop n save trolley 2wheel or 4 wheel

Hi, I have been living without maid for 2months & realised I’ve been nagging my teen girl to help me with vacuum & mopping floor. She did it willing for the first month but now I will do it because she will takes 3hr using Rainbow vacuum cleaner (which is heavy for her). I vacuum daily & mop floor on alternate day after work for my 3yrs old son & fat old dog.


Any recommendation on which is the best & economical robert vacuum cleaner for both dry & wet clean, preferred with easy maintenance & where can I buy it?
Thanks in advance.
