Therefore, I decided to hunt for an air cooler to be used in my hometown.
There are 2 brands of air cooler selling at Tesco for RM2xx, namely Takada and Global, but it seems that others have also hunted for the same thing like me, and they've run out of stock.
Finally, managed to buy a Takada ISB-889 Air Master 4-in-1 air cooler at the cost of RM3xx in Parkson. The size of this unit is bigger than the air coolers sold in Tesco, with a stronger blower and larger water tank. Functionality wise is the same though.
Its so-called 4-in-1 functions are:
- Cooler - with water and ice box
- Purifier - with its filter and ozone release
- Ionizer - with its oxygen bar releasing negative ion
- Humidifier - damping with water curtain
Although not comparable with air-cond, this air cooler functions pretty well in keeping the room cool, and now we can sleep comfortably at night.
Wow...this is considered relatively cheap compared to OSIM stuff. :p
ReplyDeleteHi, Happy CNY!
ReplyDeleteIs it really help compare to aircon?
Hi,
ReplyDeleteYes, it helps to lower down the room temperature by 1~2 degree Celcius, especially when use with the larger ice box plus the original ice box.
You cannot compare this with air-cond because you can lower down the temperature by more than 10 degree Celcius with air-cond setting.
for this price rm3xx, why dun buy a cheap brand aircond which cost around rm6xx?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteAir-cond is not able to move around the house, and who will come and install during CNY time?
Hi, what's the difference between this and the one that is sold in Tesco for 2XX? Does the ionizer thingy really work. Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteHi Jun,
ReplyDeleteThe one sold in Tesco is of smaller size and less effective.
If you look for a good ionizer, I would recommend Medklinn. You can read my sharing about my Medklinn mobile ionizer.
I bought one of this thing (same brand) a few years back at Carrefour. It tend to short circuit - water vapour seeps into the motor.
ReplyDeleteWhen I wanted to claim warranty, I found out that the address is somewhere in Chow Kit and no office...
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThe service center should be here:
35, Jalan Desa Serdang 4, Desa Serdang, Seri Kembangan, 43300 Selangor.
Check your warranty card.
hi,
ReplyDeletehow about keruilaui air cooler? very expensive though r,6xx.but some freedback from cari that is really cooling and no water dipping problem whatever.
and how about the round thing on the roof, i dunno what it call, turboxxx something. is it effective?
thanks
Hi,
ReplyDeleteAir cooler is more for short term solution. For long term solution, better get an air-cond.
For one whole year, I only stay at hometown for about 20 days, so air-cooler is suitable for my family. My parents already installed air-cond in their master bedroom though. And I have 4 air-conds in my own house.
For the wind turbine on the roof, yes, it helps. Please refer to my sharing here.
hi,
ReplyDeletefor a small bedroom, will this takada aircool col the room? will there water leaking ?
thanks
Hi,
ReplyDeleteIt is not suppose to leak water. If you find any water leaking, should return and claim for warranty repair.
the wind turbine is not realy helping. my house install 2 wind turbine 16inch. check the teometer, only reduce 1-3 degree only, usually is 2.
ReplyDeletehi,
ReplyDeletesaw from lowyat forum, a malay lady complaint that got mosquito lay eggs inside the water tank, she also bought this takada 4 in 1.
harimau, do u face this problem with your takada?
thanks
Hi,
ReplyDeleteDry out the tank if not in use.
Hi, how about the filter? any rusty/smelly problem?
