Fridge : Mitshubishi MR-V45U

Finally bought a fridge!

The Brand is Mitsubishi and the Model is MR-V45U.

How I decided on this model? First of all as I have just started a family, I think I will start with something medium size. So 3 doors fridge me perfectly.

When I go scouting at various big electrical stores : ie. Harvey Norman, Best Denki, Courts, I saw that there is this model MR-V45T very popular and most of the time either out of stock or display sold. So I ran some searches on the net and found the following conclusion:

1. Mitsubishi fridge is a very trustable reliable brand
2. MR-V45T is popular but have only 2 ticks (energy saving mark)
3. MR-V45U is the new model replacing MR-V45T but have 3 ticks (better energy saving than the T series)
4. Currently there is promotion of $50 Robinson vouchers from the agent.
5. Have the color that fits into my kitchen design theme.

So voila! That's how I decided on this fridge :)

Unconventional Regulator on Crestar Ceiling Fan

What is this?

Normal fan regulator will have the following :

0 - OFF
1 - Lowest speed
2 - Speed higher than 1
3 - Speed higher than 2
4 - Highest speed

But my Crestar ceiling fan having the following instead :

0 - OFF
1 - Highest speed
2 - Speed lower than 1
3 - Speed lower than 2
4 - Lowest speed

Called up Crestar service center, was given the answer that this is their intended design. What a stupid designer to come out with this!

If any of you Crestar Fan designer see this, please change the design OK!

Problem with my new Washing Machine Electrolux EWF1090

Eeerrghh!

Just bought a ELECTROLUX EWF1090 8kg Washer and one of the button is spoilt! And I had chosen Electrolux as I thought that this is a Brand that is so trustable...uurgh

And the worse is I keep calling the Electrolux customer service and the phone line is busy all the time. Left my number in the mailbox but nobody returned my call!
