Cheepo 3rd Gear September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 Err....clear kitchen drain pipes by sucking? I tot those supposed to be pushed downwards instead? I wouldn't want try it in case spoilt the machine coz of all those yucks kitchen stuffs, whereas air con pipes only dirt n maybe algae. Yes, you are spot on ! That was how my current machine mati. It started with a flooded kitchen sink. I have a low end $100 Samsung dry vacuum cleaner and one day, out of desperation, I used it to clear my kitchen drain pipe. It was the last resort, I had already tried everything from hot water to chemicals to whatever. So I dismantled the piping joints under the sink and stuck my vacuum pipe into the end going into the ground. And guess what ?!! I think I sucked up 5 years worth of decaying food waste ! The drain was dying of clogged arteries ! I saved myself a call to a professional plumber. But killed the $100 dry vacuum cleaner in this traumatic and extremely foul smelling adventure.

Ichibawa 5th Gear December 15, 2017 Share December 15, 2017 You go where buy battery? The service center. You can order your battery there if they don't have it in stock. I changed mine as its still under warranty as long as you can prove that the battery is gone before the warranty period ends then they will change it at no charge. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
