Today Feb 22 to Feb 24 there is an expo at KLCC convention center. I will likely go to check it out. Anyone going? 🙂

There is another one on Mar 1 at Sunway Pyramid. So many of these ... Market must be bad?

I might go there if have time. I doubt there will be any real discount though. Its more of a brand introduction to potential customers

I always wonder, price wise is it better to go there or online purchase cheaper?

I went to bukit jalil big home expo last weekend. Some stuffs are cheaper than online but not much (maybe rm30-50?).. The problem is that there are too many brands and Im not familiar with them, so it is hard to judge whether they are cheap or not.

I prefer to buy online since we have time to decide. If you rush buy over there, you might regret with ur purchase (design not ngam with ur home, expensive, etc.)

I am around klcc around noon. Will visit.

Do all the survey befor eu gi expo.. then at the expo if u find similar product & cheaper.. buy lor.. thats what i did for my hood & hob.

Just went to the expo. It seems that there are more exhibitors than the customers! Only a few things interesting to me. Will see the one at Sunway next week

I went there as well, all promotions end 17th February hahahaha. I go there take photos and then ask for carpenter's quotation vs their price.

I might go have a look at the Sunway Pyramid one. After all, it is closer to me. Looking to buy a K sized bed. Not sure what promotions they have. Previously I saw one of the brands offering 2 Q sized mattresses if I buy a K sized one.

Gotta wait till after work.

Anyway myself I only use it as a means to see what's new in the market. Also a means to scout for some new IDs.

Good deals? Usually it won't be at those expos.

I have commonly heard from those expo stands that those are from manufacturing side and not from the retail side. Apparently those are new products that have yet to be pushed into retail yet. As to whether or not it will be cheaper, I am not too sure. Cause there is nothing you can compare to online (unless electrical appliances).

Actually they have quite many mattresses on sale there. I was looking for drying rack and this brand Precious Lady looks ok

Yeah I know. I think Getha sets up stalls in expo but not sure if they had any promotions going on.

Is this drying rack remote controlled? Cause I saw one which is.

Yes it has everything except doing BJ for you! 🤣🤣🤣RM2699

Yes the price I saw was around 3k. It was for, two stages iirc or it could have been the same thing with price reduced.

There was also a remote controlled porch cover, that will extend to your gate to completely cover your car, that was around 4k+

The sales guy claimed that it is better than Houm. The max load is 50kg vs 35 kg for Houm. Maintenance and service is fairly modular for each components. I got to wait till I figure out how to design my washing area before signing up this

Any particular benefit or reason you'd have one of this type of device over your usual tumble dryer?

Wifey likes to dry clothes naturally despite we have the usual tumble dryer. It is not scientific but she things drying it naturally the clothing will last longer. If you use the usual dryer, everything inside is subject to high heat until all are dry from jeans to more delicate stuff.

Saving electricity is probably minor but it's there if you have big family. This type you can just use natural sunlight to dry.

Better buy Houm la.. this china brand also so expensive..

Yes houm is 35kg, this precious lady is 50kg.. but normally one load weigh so much? U don't need 50kg capacity normally.

Houm better choice for.me.

What do you based your conclusion on?
I am actually have not decided on getting one. But I did compared the features. This product is actually using better and thicker gauge rods, the rod can be extended to dry larger blanket, 316L for it's cables, etc. Houm hasn't updated it's product for sometimes.

Is this 2 separate products or is the other rod further out in front part of the same product. Looks nice. Good max load rating.

Two separate products. The one in foreground is actually the manual version where there is no remote control and no heat wave in case to dry in rainly days.

However the automated one with red colored heat wave on can be extended and opened up to take more laundry. At RM2699 you can almost get a tumble dryer but some people like to dry naturally. In some instances less wrinkles on certain clothing

I stop going to these fairs .....last year almost every month got...Sunway pyramid, pwtc, desa park ....to be honest....it's the same shit.....amongst all...no electrical stuff except from sharp

This year also will likely be ... I am going because I just got a new house and try to see what are in the market. Last year no new house so zero trip done 😂

Thanks for clarifying. Good to know that they have manual single rods also.

Similar to HOUM and Steigen (sold in SG) except the latter's high end model supposedly can repel dust mites. Yes, many esp older folks prefer under the sun...UV and IR all in one...free. Dryers consume electricity regardless and have their TLC issues depending upon type especially condensers whereas this one should satisfy folks who prefer old fashion way and yet give them the flexibility on wetter days.

Went Klcc today and found out many products said offer which free this free that, actually something like count in. I get an offer for an induction cooker which cost RM4k around, they got free a lot of thing. After I said consider, they give me another price which exclude those free things and the differences is big. So means when you purchase some products which got many things free, some is add in the price ady.

yup so called free stuff not really free, induction i think 2k+ can get d

go c get idea, no nd buy as everymonth also got expo. then some shops like mine can offer cheaper than expo

Lol. Will drop by your shop one day to look see too. But I want a Kraus sink ...

UV actually damage the cloth or whatever under it without protection much faster. Color fake faster. It is not going to last longer.

To kill the bac and germ from the cloth by UV, you can expose it for shot time only. Not hr.

That is crazy price.

I would just DIY it below 1k.

Actually this model doesn't use UV (unlike Houm). It is using heat wave and hence you can see the red color.

Yeah. I agree the price is expensive.

My friend more cost down. He put indoor.

Use ceiling fan and pool hanger from ceiling. Less than 400 total I guess. Run the ceiling fan low speed for overnight is still cheap on bill.

I just looked at the company who makes it.. and i trust Houm more than a brand called Precious Lady. Hahaha

Anyway, i just paid for Houm today. Rm2064 + installation rm175.. promo till 28 feb only.

It's your money and do whatever makes you happy. I am not sure if Houm's heating element is emitting UV to dry. The new equipment is using heating element without UV.

Heating element is a resisatance type or you call it heater. UV only can produce by light.

Heating element depend on what wattage. It can cause high consumption of usage. Cause the air in not recirculated like dryer.

Got mine from AIRER Singapore , quite reasonable prices whoever looking for something cheaper and affordable. But got mine during CNY promotion.. not sure about current price
