LOL TS

why would you subscribe for another machine while you had one without any faulty?

Just buy from shopee or ask them to replace it every 1 year or 6 months. My place has very good quality water source so 1 time replacing each year would be sufficient for my usage.

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

Depend on your lifestyle, if want to DIY just buy all the filters and replace yourself according to schedule. If lazy then cash is king.

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?

Buy a new one and subscribe again. You might feel uneasy not paying subscription fee to drink plain water.

Can just buy the filter from shopee. I have a coway filter that I have finished paying and now service it myself.

For coway u can get the ori or oem filter from shopee. I just follow their replacement schedule. got 3 filter 1 is once a year the other is once every 2 years. I backflush 1 of the filter every month.

For education sake, OEM means original. Not sure why Malaysia seems to think OEM means third party. What you really mean is third party.

Ts asks for opinion but insists don't wanna cancel cause it has hot and cold function.

it is a narrow standing type. it is RO.
i prefer RO. i told my wife, if it can filter, make sure it filter everything, there is no smart filter which can selectively filter.

also, i can use it for my car radiator....<secret plan> tongue.gif

All those filter membrane are made from some form of polymer/plastic and operate in high pressure. Need to do a study on how much microplastic it produce. Congratulation u just use a product that got u cancer.
