If you set at 26 degree for whole day in living room, maybe less than $200/mth.Originally Posted by carbuncle
How about if MM size type of living room? Ah MM does have its benefits... HmmmOriginally Posted by ysyap
stay North South facing, single loading, high floor but not the highest...
Best to be near coast or on hill. Confirm cooling

What does single loading mean?Originally Posted by mantrix
North south unblock facing with a ceiling fan..Originally Posted by mantrix
hot afternoon best to chill with an ice cold beer
I suspect not much difference lah... MM size living room include the kitchen so it might become even bigger sized in the end.Originally Posted by carbuncle
air-con fan mode is quite useless.
ceiling fan is a must!
a typical 3 bedder may need to install as many as 6 ceiling fans...3 for each bedrooms, 2 for living and 1 for balcony.

How about the Dyson bladeless air multiplier thingy...
...is good for retired fighter pilots and as ornament.Originally Posted by carbuncle
standup fan takes up space, very noisy and need to clean very often and very troublesome too. seems outdated already. can't beat ceiling fanOriginally Posted by roly8
Agree with the Mistral.Originally Posted by roly8
I don't use air-con in my bedrooms and we have Mistrals.
In any case, there is a lot of noise from the forest reserve at night (insects, frogs) that is as loud or louder than the fans anyway.
Anybody have feedback on the Dyson air multiplier? They look good but the price is $$$
the review for the dyson is not good actually. it eat up more electricity and the machine also depend on the surrounding airflow ..Originally Posted by chiaberry
haha..me is very hardcore fengshui person.. i don't like thing 'turning' above my head..Originally Posted by Komo

yes I suspected that would be the case for the Dyson. Thanks for your reply.Originally Posted by roly8
I think with ceiling fan it is more difficult to clean as it is high up. We have a lot of resident lizards and I don't fancy the lizard poo being blown on my head and all over the room.
Didn't know abt the fengshui thing. Is that your own opinion or documented fengshui concept? It seems different fengshui masters preach/practice different things. I told my dad I should have been a fengshui master. Probably would earn more than in my current job.......

You can get the korean or china ones on gmarket for a fraction of the price.
My recent experience with buying an electrical appliance through gmarket was not good.Originally Posted by buttercarp
For the amount of money paid for one Dyson multiplier, I can buy many Mistral or KDK fans.
Yesterday they were having a promo in Robinsons to get a small Dyson multiplier for $1500 spend in the sale. I could not face the prospect of Qing to get in, Qing to pay and Qing to redeem the Dyson. So I passed. Went to the sale in the late evening to pick up my mattresses. Passed on the branded all-singing all-dancing feature-packed mattresses and went with the more reasonably priced ones with no frills but felt the same as the feature-packed ones when lying down. The sale of mattresses is one big con and marketing job in my opinion. (waiting to be flamed by die-hard mattress lovers here).
For the last two apartments, mine has been single loading.
Currently, on a hill/single loading, NS orientation with lots of greenery.
Quite cool compared to my other place - where was a concrete-jungle.
Built-up signature also plays a part...greenery soaks up the heat, soil/plants/trees

Talking about mattress.Originally Posted by chiaberry
Eversince I bought my mattress 1 year ago, I have to resist the temptation to read in bed, cos i almost always doze off when I lie down on the mattress at any time of the day.
