“I have a sensitive nose and since I live
next to a highway, I was intrigued when
Dyson unveiled its first personal air
treatment machine recently. Thanks to
the purifying fan’s unique HEPA filter that
captures gases, odours, VOCs and 99.95
per cent of ultrafine particles from the air,
I realised that I don’t sneeze as much now.
Available in White/Silver and Gunmetal/
Copper colour combos, this compact fan-
cum-purifier comes with a built-in LCD
screen that shows you the airflow speed,
modes and filter life. Most importantly,
it’s acoustically engineered to be quiet
and comes equipped with an intelligent
light sensing system. Love!”

FAN IN GUNMETAL/COPPER, RM1,699FOR THE LIVING ROOM
“This new floor cleaning robot is a godsend
since I live in a condo right next to a highway
and it can get quite dusty at home. Measuring
only 5.7cm high, the Deebot can clean dirt
underneath my furniture without me having
to bend down. On busy days, I’ll make use
of its cleaning schedule feature and coming
home to a spotless house every day is truly
a blessing. Don’t worry, not only is the robot
tangle-free and anti-drop, it’s also smart
enough to return to its docking station when
the battery is low. What’s more, it’ll know how
to follow a planned path that it has already
pre-mapped out. Nevertheless, my favourite
function has got to be its OZMO mopping
technology, which means that with its built-in
water control system and detachable cleaning
cloth plate, I can use it to mop my floor too!”

IMPROVEMENTS
FOR THE KITCHEN
“It was 2008 when I learned what a Thermomix® machine was capable
of producing (a countertop kitchen appliance that can knead dough AND
churn ice-cream? Sign me up!). I recently tried the latest TM5 model and
boy, did it live up to the expectations I had 11 years ago! Besides being easy
to use, even for an amateur cook like me, it reduced my meal prep time by
half and made cooking much more enjoyable. All I need to do is pick what I
want to cook, throw in my ingredients, turn the knob and it will work its magic
at a pre-programmed time, speed and temperature. Heads up though, once
you start using this workhorse, there’s no going back since it replaces virtually
every other gadget in the kitchen by combining more than 12 appliances
in one. Bonus: Attach the new WiFi Cook-Key® accessory to the machine
to connect and sync the TM5 with Cookidoo®, the brand’s online recipe
platform that contains over 40k recipes, wirelessly.”
