This month's my last month paying Cuckoo's RM90 installment. That's RM5,400 the last 5 years. Whether it was worth it or not I'm leaning to yes if you factor in the convenience and service.

They've been ringing me every day or two to continue my contract with them by either trading in for a new machine or subscribing to some warranty extension plan @ RM50/month. Eff that.

So, what do I do now? I realize people sell third party compatible Cuckoo filters and other parts on Shopee. What do I need to maintain my machine? What's the schedule of DIY servicing that I should follow?

TIA

Can start drinking normal boil water.
Drinking ultra clean water is not good for health.

You'll own nothing and be happy.
Without them servicing your machine, how long do think it will last?

Very easy to change OEM filters yourself. Just learn it up from YouTube

Decline the last servicing to avoid sabotage by the technician.

im also having same issue

last time we use OEM filter. the person who change the filter (very old apek), very hard to come anymore, end up very hard to change filter or if have problems.

unlike convenience provided by these companies (SK magic/coway).

probably need DIY as best option but i wish I had the time to do so..

not keen to continue another 5 years

The threat of microplastic are more prevalent in food source than water source. How do u filter the food ha??
Present of microplastic in domestic water supply as in ppb is negligible.

Is there zero plastic part in the water filter? The container to store hot water inside the machine is made of ceramic?
