The local warranty is shop warranty. Not local xiaomi warranty. late reply but these problems can all be solved with a $50 chromecast and your mobile. Even dvbt2 tuner is not required since you can stream toggle too. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said nowadays all these small stock can't give best price anymore. At most match only. But then u get cc rebate with the big stalls What about those shops like Goh Ah Bee? They are known to quote lowest prices. But you must know exact model no. when calling them, then they will quote you price. They dun keep stock, but just arrange supplier direct delivery, i think. survive on thin thin margin, but large quantity orders. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy twice, twice also got problem....and Best part is problem come immediately after warranty expire ! Your last sentence I agree as recently my 5 year old 65" Philips TV just died, cannot power up. But all along no problem lah. Called up the Philips authorized repair shop and was quoted $80 to do checking onsite, no brainer as lugging the TV to its service centre in Ubi cheaper by $20 only. Ended up paid $200 in all to replace the power PCB inclusive of $40 labour charge. Not bad imo rather then spending another $2k for a brand new TV. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought an Iona water boiler/dispenser. Within one year, got problem. Sent repair, FOC. By 3 yr+, same problem. Sent there, need to pay I think $30-40 to replace the same part... Told me ok already, brought home, problem persisted... Next day went there again, then the lady paiseh... just took one box from the inventory and asked me to take it... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i open manufacturing firm, sure hire them... reminds me of my Acer laptop 20+ yr ago. 1 mth after 3 yr warranty up, got overheating issue... Brought to service centre, just described only, the guy knew what's wrong liao... apparently very common. Needed to pay maybe $100+ to sort it out... lucky can claim. This type engineers help the company makes $$... until customers stop buying their products again... 😂 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Actually was 2 times. The 2nd time problem was not resolved, although they said it was... And the place is quite near my office. About/less than 5 min away if traffic lights are in my favour, so i didn't mind going. If those far far away, then i will likely not go liao... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may still check price for certain things like hobs, hoods etc. But for washing machine, TV, fridge i won't bother honestly. Even years ago when I bought my place, gab only can manage to be cheapest price for lesser items like kdk stand fans, rice cookers etc. Anyway with online shopping and vouchers on Lazada or qoo10. Even that lowest price have to see... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
