Hi all,

I am a new house owner and got a few questions that I don’t understand.

The house is a small landed house.
1. I saw many of my friends opted for the built in oven and microwave. The standalone oven or microwave is way a lot cheaper than the built in one. So why not create a gap in the cabinet that is big enough to place the standalone in it, it is easier to repair or change a new one when spoil. What is the benefits of getting a more expensive built in oven and microwave?

2. Many of the landed houses also purchase the LG washing tower which is a washing machine below and a dryer at the top. In a condo it make sense due to space contraints and strata rules of not allowing to dry clothes outside the balcony or on windows. But does having a dryer make sense in our climate in a landed house? What do you think?

3. This is the same as the first question. The built in gas stove is way pricier and harder to change and repair compares to the standalone gas stove. So why not just buy the standalone gas stove if opting for gas? Unless if it is electricity type then I can understand.

4. Any advice on which type of cooker hob is good for landed house? I heard the recirculating type is not as good extraction type. Condo opted for recirculating hood because they can’t install external ducting. So in this case, it is better for me to opt for extraction hood? Is it really the case?

5. Bed is one of the most important element in our life as we spent a quarter of our life every days sleeping on bed. What will be then important criteria that a bed shall have for you? What is a good bed? I asked because just by laying on the bed for 5 min at the showroom, I can’t tell whether it is a good bed and I do not know what makes a good bed.

I am worry of been telan hidup hidup by salesperson 😞 if you have any experiences of the above please share.  Not necessarily must have all the experiences on the above questions only share, can share any experiences you have on any questions too.

Thank you so much
