          my gadgets aft maidless:

          cordless tall vac cleaner electrolux lithium batt model $289
          bona spray mop $85
          philip system iron wf water tank $629 promo $559 at best denki
          thermal pot

          hi 24hr-mum,

          can you share more about the philips system iron w water tank?? the philips sg site link is not working.. when i clicked on find more info abt it, it brings me to country and language selection again... so duh!!


          Seriously if you don't mind refilling the water, the Rowenta Steamium Iron ($179.90 if I didn't remember wrongly) has good steam power. Too bad Rowenta does not have the ironing systems available for sale here. I can iron through a folded pair of jeans.

              I am using the Panasonic non steam iron to iron my clothes but the results after iron was no good. I thought of changing to a normal steam iron. Can anyone advise on what brand to buy. I went to take a look at a few brand and the promoter recommended me philips brand. Which is better philips or tefal?

                  Didn’t find my previous Tefal good. My mom’s $100+ Braun almost made me fainted when I tried to help her iron. She also said that it was BAD! Clothes just don’t straighten nicely.


                  Rowenta Steamium leaves a nice finish. Don’t know about the rest but read reviews that you should buy only those made in Germany. That should range from $100 to $180 here.
