This phone review is going to be slightly different from my usual ones. Before that, let me start off with a disclaimer – ASUS or Apple did NOT pay me to praise nor slam any brands.
I will be comparing ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser 6 inch Full HD with my current phone (iPhone 5s). Any negative/positive remarks are made solely based on my honest review. As much as I know I should be comparing A to A but I can only compare these two phones as I have personally used them both before. I hope my experience will help shed some light for those who are considering between the ASUS phone or iPhone
Being an Apple user for almost a decade, I can’t live my life without Apple products even for a day, Basically, I have almost used every range of their products from their iPod, iPad, iMac, Macbook right up to their iPhone. What sense of loyalty one would say!
When I first received ASUS, I find it hard to navigate because I am not used to other operating systems. For people like me who rely on Apple products a lot, you will need time to get adjusted to the ASUS operating system.
One of my favourite pastime is to watch drama, cartoons and movies. Hence, I have a tendency to watch them on my phone instead of my tablet due to its portability. With regards to this, the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser 6 inch definitely win hands down because the screen is way bigger than my current iPhone 5s (see bottom) without compromising on the battery life (read below on the battery life).
A fairer comparison would come from iPhone 6 Plus. However, the price point of iPhone 6 Plus is not as favorable as the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser 6 inch. An ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser 6 inch cost less than $400 while an iPhone 6 plus easily cost more than $1000 🙁
Therefore, the visual enjoyment derived from ASUS at a more affordable price point definitely serve as a plus factor for me as compared to iPhone family despite not having a retina screen.
Another noteworthy feature of the ASUS phone is their speakers. Why so? Simply because they have the world’s best smartphone speakers. The dual speaker phone is said to provide sound at supreme quality levels and proven to be better than other world-class competitors. This means to say that you get to save your ears turning red from those long hours of earphones when you are watching drama.
A lot of people complaint about how iPhone’s screen crack easily but I drop my phone almost everyday and my screen is still safe and sound without any protection. *TOUCH TOUCH TOUCH WOOD*
On the other hand, ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser ZE601KL comes with Gorilla® Glass 4 which offers twice the drop-damage resistance of its predecessor and is 85% less likely to break in daily use. Durability wise, how does that sound like for you?
However, I have yet to put the ASUS phone to its durability by accidentally dropping it. So I shall just give them both a tie in this aspect. At least, I would say both are equally durable enough for my daily usage.
For the battery life, iPhone lost. In short, the battery life of iPhone seems to drain off faster than ASUS. As such, I would consider not bringing my portable battery charger out if I was out with my ASUS phone. Certainly not the case if I was using my iPhone 5s. J is using an iPhone 6 and he complains the same thing too which I presume is because of the 4G connection. So I guess needless to compare with iPhone 6.
We know that all powerbank uses the same cable head. One other drawback to the iPhone especially when it comes to this charging aspect, you will have to bring 2 cables out. 1 to charge the powerbank (at work) and 1 to charge iPhone whereas all the other brands such as ASUS uses the same cable head.
For design wise, I am sold to both. I like both designs equally because both of them look expensive and classic. It will be good if the phone comes with earphones and phone cover 😀
ZenFone 2 (ZE601KL) is powered by a 64 bit Octa Core Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S616 processor, which is ample for our daily usage. Both download speeds for iPhone and ZenFone 2 Laser (ZE601KL) are comparable for my case because I only have to download emails, pictures and whatsnot daily.
And for me, I rely a lot of phone camera too. ASUS ZenFone 2 (ZE601KL)’s camera surprised me with its quality as the rear camera has laser auto-focus technology for fastest possible clarity on top of being 13MP.
If you think that the backlight is too strong, you can tame the brightness with Backlight (Super HDR) Mode. I think every phone should come with this mode because backlight spoil pictures!!
Last but not least, let’s not forget that the phone is dual-sim card. Good for people who travels often!
Here’s a summary of the functions:
I hope you like my review as much as I do.

ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser
YAYYYYY! Merry Christmas!! Christmas came early for me because I got a “gift” from ASUS early!!
As the box says, I got a ZenFone 2 Laser! Actually I think my Dad is even happier than me because he love huge phones and this ZenFone 2 is 6 inch Full HD!
There are different colors but I got the grey set. Honestly speaking, all the colors are so pretty so I would be quite stuck if I was told to pick one color myself.
The available colors are Glacier Grey, Glamour Red and Sheer Gold.
Each phone comes with an ASUS charger.
When I was told that it was 6 inch (I don’t know how huge 6 inch was), I never thought it would be bigger than my palm because it is only retailing at $379! Such a small price for a big phone like this!
And if you think the bigger the phone, the heavier it is, then you’re so wrong. It is only weighing at 170g!
Other than the size, what I like best is the incredibly-slim 3.9mm edges which makes it easier and comfortable to hold. You don’t want it to slip and land on your face at night do you?
Despite the pocket-friendly pricing, ASUS gave ZenFone 2 Laser a premium look and feel with the metallic shell.
Also look at the long button right in the middle, you can snap selfies, adjust volume and all with just one button no matter if you are right or left-handed. Thank you for the ergonomic arc design ASUS!
By the way, the phone is also recognized globally for its incredible product design and it even brought him the 2015 iF Design Award.
ZenFone 2 Laser 6.0 inch FHD (ZE601KL) is already available at $379 at all ASUS authorized retailers, brand stores, M1, StarHub and Singtel.
Stay tuned for my review next week!

Sound Piece by The Happy Team
I am sure you guys are familiar with the H&M of the retail fashion industry. My question is: Do you know the H&M equivalent of the music world? Or to be exact, the ear plugs world!
If you aren’t aware, this chapter is one not to be missed as #jamesnmaybel recently attended the launch of the ‘H&M of ear plugs’ @ the beautiful Boutique hotel, Klapsons and that is none other than Stockholm.
To those who are unaware of this brand, is a Swedish brand born in 2011 and has successfully reached global success by transforming headphones and mobile accessories into fashion accessories. Their foothold around the world with 6.000 shops in 70+ countries worldwide is a testament to their resounding success (for more info, pls visit happyplugs.com) ! Now, who says Tech and fashion can’t go hand in hand, side by side.
This launch was more than just creating awareness of as a ear plug brand. It was also to proudly introduce its new flagship products – & , both of which are wireless speakers that fuse state-of-the-art technology and minimalistic Swedish design with the ability to personalize your speakers with the latest fashions and interior design trends!
Too profound to understand? No worries let these pictures below tell you the fashion story of a thousand words then..
Let’s just say your house is filled with marble tiling. This is how fits in perfectly.
Next, now let’s say now you want to bring your from your marble-tiled home to your friends’ house that has a traditional black-white-gold interior. How can fit in?

What this means to the fashion-conscious consumers is you have a speaker that can not only suit your mood, personality, style but also the interior of your home! Cool, isn’t it!
With the fashion part answered! I believe your next question is how about its functionality and sound quality right?!
The is definitely not a ‘Got Looks but No Quality’ speaker. From my experience of hearing the sound during its launch, the sounds produced from the speaker sure have a good balance of clarity, treble & bass to deliver that wonderful music hearing experience you yearn for. Furthermore, both the & are equipped with built-in microphone which allow it to function as a conference speaker and speakerphone. The battery also has a lifespan of up to 14.5 hours with the extra feature of an emergency power bank, allowing for smart phone charging at any location or on-the-go!

Speakers aren’t the only item they carry. Now, let me amaze you with their other fashionable tech accessories.
They have earphones (In-Ear & Earbud) & cables
I am so in love with them especially the Rose Gold-colored ones! I like the fact that they made it so luxurious- looking with the metallic exterior.
If you think the metallic design is seeking too much attention and prefer something funkier, you can always fall back on their ‘Camouflage’ design (below)
Whatever I showed here is just a small portion of interminable collection of fashionable tech accessories!

GP Batteries X Smiley
What does your face show when your phone runs out of battery?
Frustrated?
Frowns?
Disappointed?
Now, GP Batteries is asking you to smile even when it is running low on battery life!
They have recently collaborated with Smiley to launch some special edition PPBs in 6 different designs at $59 each. Hong Kong has already launched them and caught the attention of many cute girls!
I like this Smiley with shades because it reminds me of James. Hehe.
Firstly, I wanna comment on the size and weight. Despite being a 5200mAh, which can charge an iPhone up to 2 times, it is SO light (135g) and slim (1.35cm) which gives great portability. You can slip it into your pocket easily. Since it has very fast charging speed, it is also suitable for people who uses hungry devices like iPad or Tablets.
You can tell how full or low the power is by pressing the buttons of the LED status indicator at the bottom left.
I am a sucker for power banks because I use them EVERY DAY and I cannot leave home without one so I am very conscious about the weight but a cute one is simple a bonus!
GP x Smiley Powerbank retails at $49 and is currently at 20% discount at Challenger Roadshow at ION Orchard from now till 3 Jan 2016!
Doesn’t it make a happy gift for your friend this Christmas?
However, if you missed it after the promotional period, you can still find them at Challenger stores in Singapore. Remember, there are 6 designs to choose from, buy one which fits your face best!

ASUS ZenPad C7.0 Review
If you think that owning a Tablet is going to burn a deep hole in your pocket OR rather all you ever need is a phone as it has all the latest function, you might want to think again after reading this post below.
ASUS just made their tablets affordable and chic! So affordable till you are definitely going to feel the value it gives outweighs its price tag anytime.
Would you consider giving it as a Christmas present to your partner if I share with you that the ASUS ZenPad C 7.0 only cost you $199?
The ZenPad C 7.0 comes in 4 different versatile colors.. doesn’t all 4 melt your heart? Especially when it is made of elegant leather pattern at the back?
Now, let’s talk about the design. The design is simple yet elegant as shown below. The slimness of the device grants portability to its users and yet do not give additional weight baggage. I think we are all going towards the minimalist style and ASUS just hit the right notes on this aspect!
The ergonomic rounded edges at the side provides a better grip. To consumers, this simply mean lesser of those destructive, careless dropping of gadgets which eventually end up in hefty repairs & a broken heart.
James gave ASUS ZenPad C 7.0 a try for a week. End of that week, he is still no less amazed as the first day he saw the device. Better still, he found it really user-friendly and it took him less than a 2 hours to figure all the functions. The epic moment came when I asked him to guess the price.
He grossly overestimated the pricing to be above 300-400 and his jaw dropped upon hearing the actual pricing. At that moment, I could see his eyes beaming with temptation to get one for his movies and work.
Speaking about movies, you will be surprised that it features the DTS-HD Premium Sound and SonicMaster technology to provide the a great audio experience of a movie. Like what ASUS said, cinematic audio on the go. Yes yes, I can vouch for that after watching a couple of online movies with it!
Also, if you think its quality will come at the expense of its affordability. You are SO wrong! ZenPad adopts the ASUS ‘Tru2Life Technology’ that delivers incredibly realistic images with accurate contrast, sharpness, and details as found in most high-end TVs. Regardless how small the details can be in an image, the users will still be able to pick it up easily.
In addition, the Zenpad C7.0 is powered by an ‘Intel Atom x3-C3230 Processor’ that delivers smooth, responsive performance and immersive entertainment experiences. Needless to say much, I think most gamers or computer experts will know what this means to them!
See how captivated he is! Even the delicious food in front of him has lost all its appeal! ><
Have you also seen some shops selling spectacles to refract the irritating blue light away from our eyes? If you are a ZenPad user, you can save the money of getting such spectacles because the tablet has ‘ASUS Bluelight Filter’ that helps to reduce eye fatigue and provide a comfortable viewing experience by minimizing blue light emission from the gadget. Planning for a Movie Marathon this weekend? Just bring it on! lol!
Just another picture to show how sleek the device is! Definitely a very female friendly device as I must say for its weight and size, the ZenPad C7.0 easily stole my heart away. Girls who are crazy about K-dramas or whatever movies, this might just be the device for you to hold all day long without a single complaint its too heavy!
One more bonus for the ladies! Selfie or Wefie lovers, listen up! ZenPad C 7.0 ‘PixelMaster Camera’ can capture photos with high-resolution that do not require editing at all!
So still cracking your brain over what to get this Christmas for that someone you love or treasure. This practical multi-function device with an ultra value-for-money price tag is going to make the best gift this Christmas.

GP F Series Powerbank
Advertorial
What is one thing you can’t leave the house without other than money? I can’t really answer much because I can’t leave house with two items – Lipstick and Powerbank!!
My phone tends to die off after 4 hours because I am a social media addict. I will scroll though Facebook and Instagram even when I am on my way to the toilet. And if I have to take public transport from Changi to Jurong, I will also be on the phone constantly. Sooo.. powerbank to me is a necessity.
I have a few powerbanks and I don’t buy them from anywhere because I am very paranoid. What if it burst or explode? :O
GP Batteries has also recently launch their new F Series PowerBank. They are available in 5000 mAh, 5200 mAh ($39) and 10,000 mAh. I would very much love to have the 10,000 mAh but it is too heavy for me because I like my bag to be lightweight.
Thank you GP Batteries, now James and I have the same powerbank!
Using a powerbank from a known and famous battery brand allows me to keep it in my bag in ease. Also, there is this over-temperature cut off during powerbank charging. So charge at ease. You do not even have to worry if it will explode or not after being charged for 10 hours. Lol!
Complies with UN38.3 air transport safety standard and is safeguard from malfunctions due to short circuit, loopback protection automatically cuts-off power when a cable is plugged into input/output simultaneously.
Each set comes with a usb to charge your powerbank. The usb can also be used to charge phones other than Apple. Other than being pocket friendly, they charge duper fast too. Each powerbank allows you to charge up to two devices at the same time.
Don’t you love the shape too? Actually they have it in flat designs too and I think they are as cool too! This pocket friendly design is not only handy but has an anti-roll design too.
GP PowerBanks are suitable and compatible with iOS and Android smartphones and many other devices like your camera, iPad, or games console.
They are retailing at selected Best Denki, Challenger, Courts, Newstead and Popular outlets.
You can also stand a chance to win a GP’s F Series PowerBank. Contest ends on 30 Nov 2015.
Just comment on feature of F Series which you think is most important on GP’s Facebook or Instagram!

Casio Latest Release – A Distinguished Metal Twisted G-Shock MTG-G1000D Series for the Discerning Globetrotter
I would love to call this post the part II to my Casio GPW-1000’s one where I shared all its wonderful Hi-Tech features! Since the day I owned my first G-Shock GPW-1000, I have always been pleasantly surprised by the kind of advanced technology Casio incorporates into their premium G-Shock watches!
Never knew that within such a short span of time, I was going to be surprised again! We recently attend an event held at ION Sky where Casio Singapore announced the arrival of their G-Shock MTG-G1000D, the latest addition to the premium line-up of Metal Twisted G-Shock Timepieces.
We attended this event well geared up! For me, it just had to be my GPW-1000 Gravitymaster which is one of the two predecessors of MTG-G1000D to own the ‘GPS Hybrid Technology’! I must say since the day I own it, it has hardly left my wrist because in terms of functionality & practicality, it is almost unparalleled! Not to mention its versatility in matching most of my smart casual outfits (below)!
And so, I thought my heart for GPW-1000 will not waver even for a second regardless how the MTG-G1000D appear later on!
Whereas for M, she was armed with the most exquisitely-looking invitation card ever received! It was fully made of metal which exudes a strong sense of ‘Absolute Toughness’, a mantra which every G-Shock watches lives by!
We reached pretty early that day which gave us ample time to roam around the room & enjoy the exhibition of other G-Shock models.
One of the models that caught our attention was definitely the ‘MR-G’ series, the MOST premium & advanced in Casio’s premium range of timepieces! The Ultimate dream for all G-Shock wearers!
Ok! Let’s not digress from the actual Hero of the event: the MTG-G1000D! Finally unveiled by the Special Guest that flew in from Japan for this event!
Now, let’s take a closer look at this beauty! Even better, why not let’s just make a comparison with my ‘Beast’ (GPW-1000D) on the wrist?
My heart raced upon having these two Titans on my wrist at one go! And for a moment, my heart not only raced but also did waver upon the first introduction of this latest MTG-G1000D on my wrist!
From the exterior outlook, it is obvious the MTG has a more refined & luxurious outlook thanks to the highly-sophisticated polishing technique, Sallaz polishing to give it a stunning mirror-like finish.
On the other hand, my GPW-1000 is leaning more towards a serious outdoor watch with its rugged design. However, like the GPW-1000, the MTG-G1000D has a sapphire crystal with anti-glare coating which explains for the ease of reading time even under strong sunlight! And let the strong sunlight come I say, because not only do you get to admire the beautiful cool blue reflection off the sapphire crystal glass, it also serves to charge both watches due to their Tough Solar power System(Solar-charging system). Sweet deal, isn’t it?
Now, moving over to its interior (technological built-up), the MTG-G1000D is an upgrade from its previous version, the MTG-S1000 with the GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor feature added in. I am absolutely in love with this Hi-Tech feature found in both models! Basically, it is a high performance time correction system that receives time-calibration signals carried by both GPS satellite & terrestrial standard time radio waves.
To put these big words into layman, it simply means to say both watches allows for accurate time syncing in ANY location in ANY PARTS OF THE WORLD even when you are standing INSIDE ANY BUILDING! This is fulfilled with a simple ‘push’ on the side button of the watch!
This function sure gives all the wearer of G-Shock MTG-G1000D a good bang for the buck!
Not only so, MTG-G1000D also contains the Casio’s proprietary Triple G Resist for resistance to extreme vibration, centrifugal gravitational force, and shock. This feature confers the unparalleled toughness & durability to the MTG-G1000D.
A NEW feature (NOT present in both the GPW-1000 & MTG-S1000) is the Dual Coil Motor that allows high-speed hand movement so you can easily switch between home time and local time displays on the main & inset dials by simply pressing a button. The reflection of accurate timing is almost instantaneous! Hate waiting for the adjustment of timing to occur on your watch? G-Shock just read your mind & solved it here!
Another NEW feature is the Advanced Core Guard Structure which boosts the watch’s shock-resistance using a newly developed spring-like fine resin (shown above). As such, the wearers especially the careless ones, do not have to worry about hard knocks while on the go as the resin will act as cushion to protect the module & watch face!
Triple G Resist + Advanced Core Guard Structure make it feel like I am wearing an indestructible ‘Tank’ on my wrist! This watch is sure made to last a long long time…..
One last NEW feature is the Layered Composite Bracelet (shown as Black ‘H’ on the bottom bracelet in the above image) which confers tough additional strength & reduced weight simultaneously. This contributes to the whole light-weightedness of the watch at approx 198g (Total weight of watch). What better marriage than having light & extremely strong altogether in one watch!
These MTG-G1000D series is full crafted in Japan thus giving you the assurance of the world-renowned, top-notch Japanese quality! The MTG-G1000D also comes in two colour variation, stainless steel with either Blue (MTG-G1000D-1A2) or Black (MTG-G1000D-1A) coded City Code Rings.
Both models retails at SGD$1,799 from 3rd November 2015 onwards at ALL G-Factory store & Cortina.
If Precision, Luxury, Durability, Functionality & Toughness is what you are seeking in a watch, then look & wait no further to grab the MTG-G1000D as both models are available in LIMITED quantities!
The MTG-G1000D is surely going into my personal watch collection before it runs out in store!
Asus Zensation Launch
ASUS Zensation launch brings you not 1 but 5 new launches!
Having reviewed about ZenFone 2 before, and a few with ASUS laptop at home, I can’t help but say my family is quite a fan of ASUS!
On the very day, ASUS announced that there will be 5 new launches:
- ASUS ZenWatch 2
- Zen AiO Pro
- ZenBook UX305
- ZenPad 8 Audio Cover
- ZenFone Laser 5.4 inch (ZE550KL)
I am truly impressed by the design and function each item carries and I am yearning to own them or review them! Especially the ASUS ZenWatch 2 and ASUS Zen AiO Pro.
You will be surprised by the price of this watch because of it’s stylish design. To make the leather straps into a fashion accessory, they have also partnered with Swarovski just for the fashionistas.
ZenWatch 2 will be retailing at $229 from 14 November 2015 onwards.
We know how good ASUS laptops are. Now, they are back with a all-in-one desktop.
Zen AiO Pro has incredible performance to match its incredible looks.
Inside the sleek exterior you’ll find up to the latest Intel® Core™ i7 processors, the latest DDR4 memory, up to the latest ultra-fast M.2 PCIe® Gen3 x4 SSD storage, up to NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX™ 960M gaming-grade graphics, the latest connectivity and more, all perfectly matched for silky-smooth responsiveness.
It is available in 2 sizes 21.5inch or 23.8 inch.
ASUS ZenBook UX305 is so small and light. I wished I had this back in my university days so that I don’t have to put up with backaches. It weighs at 1.2kg and at retails a price of $1298.
Other than running on Windows 10 OS, it is also said to come with a 10 hours battery life. Sounds like something I wanna test it out myself. With the 10 hours battery life, I can totally leave home without the adapter.
What attracted me other than the battery life was the slim and sleek design they have for such an affordable price.
ZenBook BX303 is also available at $1498.
ZenPad 8.0 Audio Cover
With four satellite speakers, one center-channel sparker, and one subwoofer, ASUS Audio Cover is said to provide outstanding surround sound so this gives you an excuse to watch movies at home now.
To keep the entrainment going, you can use it for up to 6 hours with a single charge.
ZE550KL is retailing at $279 and is available in Red, Black or White.
I have previously reviewed an ASUS phone before as well.

Life’s Good with LG CordZero™ Canister + Freebie
Today, I am going to share with you my newl-found friend! ‘His’ presence has made a HUGH positive impact to my life! Even better, one that doesn’t make J jealous but envious! ><
His name is ‘CordZero™ Canister’, born from the well-renowned household brand ‘LG Electronics’!
Let me start the post by explaining why ‘he’ is more than just a vacuum cleaner to me.
A friend to me is someone that will always be there whenever you need him/her. Similarly, the CordZero™ Canister works just like an efficient buddy when it comes to keeping my house dirt- & dust- FREE! This is simply because ‘he’ will never leave my radius by more than 100cm once switched on. All thanks to the one-of-its-kind RoboSense™ technology in it.
The Automatic Location Recognition technology and Active Following Wheel technology incorporate four interconnected sensors on the body and a handle to detect the movement and distance. This is simply the reason why I never stop falling in love with technology especially those present in this premium cordless vacuum cleaner because they always make our life easier!
When I say that it follows me everywhere, I DO mean it follow me around with absolutely NO Binding! How so? This is because ‘he’ is not bounded by any cord ! So basically, ‘he’ operates wireless-ly! Think about the boundless benefits for people like me who stays in a two-storey house without any tangling, pulling or frustration of plugging & unplugging the vacuum cleaner at every levels/rooms. Save the time, effort & even sweat for more important things!
Since you don’t need an outlet access to on it, you can bring it down to anywhere and everywhere take for instances places like your car, or rented places for celebrations – BBQ/Birthdays when you need to clean up after the party!
Next, let’s set functionality aside & talk about ‘his’ looks! It was almost love at first sight for me when we met! I was very very VERY attracted by the material and color, especially the wheels! Still am up till this very moment! Those who like skeleton watches will definitely like ‘his’ suave-looking wheels! ‘He’ looks like a handy, trendy robot and bound to invite envy stares among friends who visit your house.
So obviously, my buddy here has the beauty. But does ‘he’ comes with enough ‘brain’? I know you guys aren’t gonna be impressed with ‘his’ obedience in following me around. So, to add more credits to ‘his’ functionality, ‘CordZero™ Canister’ can sure pick up dust effectively and you get to even conveniently select the level of suction force via a push of button on the handle.
Buoyed by the Smart Inventor Motor™, maximum suction, high efficiency and durability are all packed into CordZero™ Canister! As compared to the motor you can find in the market which uses a carbon brush prone to wear & tear, the brushless Smart Inventor Motor™ operates on frictionless magnetic power and has an extended lifespan of 1,000 hours.
To grant you even more peace of mind, the motor is backed confidently by a 10-year warranty!
Navigating ‘him’ is rather hassle-free. What about keeping ‘him’?
‘He’ is also easy to keep because LG Electronics have cleverly incorporated two hooks to hang the stick. One at the back & the other the side. So you get to pick whichever style you deem fit!
One full charge enables you to clean the house for up to 40 minutes in Regular mode! This is possible only because ‘he’ is powered by LG Chemical’s innovative built-in lithium ion battery PowerPack™ 80V.
I personally feel that 40 minutes is more than ample to clean up the whole house! Some of you may argue that 40 minutes is not enough, but when you save on the hassle to plug and unplug the vacuum from room to room, and pulling the vacuum to wherever you are, you are actually saving on strength and time already. Furthermore by 40 mins, you probably get burnt out physically before the vacuum cleaner does!
Give yourself a break & ‘him’ a break too to recharge!
Other important features also include a HEPA 14 Filter (5-star rating) that traps 99.999% of potentially harmful dust particles and expels clean air to keep indoor clean. For those expert in ventilation system, HEPA should be ring a bell during this period of haze. This is because HEPA is used as the GOLD standard for trapping harmful dust particles even those contributing the haze. Too bad you can’t use this as a air purifier but it does contain the same technology !
Furthermore, one other feature I like most about ‘him’ is the Kompressor™ Technology. Let me proudly share that Kompressor™ is the world’s first motorized dust compression system.
With this ingenious system, Canister is able to compress the dust and dirt which is sucked up during cleaning. When the dust and dirt are compressed within the bagless bin, you can easily & hygienically empty the dirt inside!
If you ask me how helpful has ‘he’ been when it comes to keeping the house clean & dust-free, I have nothing but praises/thumbs up for this Smart Vacuum system! To keep things simple, let me share that I use to sneeze a lot at home partially compounded by the fact that I own a dog. However, with ‘his’ ubiquitous presence around me, the irritating sneezing seems to have lessen! ‘L’ife is definitely ‘G’ood after – thus ‘LG’!
In short, ‘he’ made a difference to my life & whatever promised by LG was delivered ! 🙂
Lastly, if you are still not convinced by what I have shared personally, please watch this video below:)
PROMOTION:
If you purchase any CordZero™ Canister from now until 31st December 2015, you will get an additional free gift of Microwave worth $119!!
You MUST email to marketing.sg@lge.com and quote “Maybeline X LG” to get your letter of redemption before you are allowed to redeem the ADDITIONAL free gift from LG Service Center.
Sudio Earphones
Sponsored
If you think good earphones are expensive and plain, then you are so wrong. I always thought earphones are expensive until I came across Sudio Earphones. Sudio is originated from Sweden.
When I first came to know about Sudio, they only had TVA and Klang. Now, they have VASA too! When I was given a choice, I went for Klang instead of TVA of the in-ear feature.
Here are their different series:
VASA –
Klang –
TVA –
Look at the prices. Aren’t they one of the most affordable brands around? Pssst: It’s free shipping worldwide too.
Being a fan of white, you must have guessed that I went for the White and Gold right? True enough, that was my first pick but I went for something else. Ever since I got together with James, I started to try out more colors combination so I went for the Orange and Black! 🙂
I am pleasantly delighted when the earphones reached me. Same for James. He got the pair in White and Gold.
They are so neatly packed and trust me, they look like they cost a few hundreds but noooo. Klang only cost $75!
The orange leather case came with it too. Although it is meant to for keeping of the earphones, I used it as a cardholder instead 😀
Even the casing itself looks good enough to keep anything.
Not just the genuine leather carrying case is included, you will also get 4 extra pairs of sleeves/ earbuds, Manual & Quality Assurance Card and a metal clip. The earphone is so light that it only weighs 22 grams!
Sudio Klang has a 3-Button Remote which is designed for iOS. Other systems will still find it useful because you can pick up calls with it. You also be pleasantly surprised to find the cord longer than others.
The sound system is made up of 10.0mm Dynamic Speaker which can deliver a natural bass without compromising the high tones. You will also be amazed by the sound quality despite the pocket friendly prices.
We are very very happy with the earphones, should it spoil in the near future, we won’t hesitate to get another one from Sudio!
