I have something similar. It's now in my store room. I won't advice anyone to buy.

First of all, you need pressure on your tap line. The video may show it's very powerful, but it's probably rigged with a high pressure pump just for the video.

The Panasonic flosser is much better, although I hardly used now, ever since I got the Philips Sonicare.

Really envy you guys. I can only buy from Lazada, Shopee and Aliexpress.

I don't even look at shopee nowadays. since I bought my wife's phone. Lazada much better discounts. And most retailers market on at least 2 platforms.

but surprisingly shopee is the top online retailer in this region. I also find they have limited products and discount not as good. I do buy from there occasionally but mostly those 有的没的 😂

Turbocharged

looking at the responses in this thread, seem like this year might be a poor year for 11.11 and Black Friday? :D (drawing reference from the COE bidding thread)

Potential fire sale for PMD on 11.11.  😁

Large stockpile of e-scooters brought in for Singles’ Day now ‘unsellable’, say retailers
 

SINGAPORE — Some had brought in “hundreds of thousands of dollars” worth of electric scooters in preparation for one of the biggest sales events of the year on Singles’ Day (Nov 11), but now these retailers are fearing the worst.

These scooters are compliant with the safety standards introduced by the authorities but could now be “unsellable”, the retailers told TODAY, following the ban on the use of e-scooters on footpaths which kicked in on Tuesday (Nov 5).

PMD Retailers Association of Singapore president Wilson Seng said that retailers had been increasing their stocks of UL2272-certified models — a safety standard that will reduce the risk of fires — after the Land Transport Authority in August brought forward the deadline for users to comply.

Personal-mobility-device (PMD) users have to ensure their devices meet the UL2272 standard by July 1 next year — six months before the original deadline of Jan 1, 2021.

“Retailers are now stuck with all these ready stocks. Who is going to buy now?” Mr Seng, who called the new legislation “untimely”, asked.

Mr Ifrey Lai, 49, managing director of Mobot store, said that he had brought in “S$400,000 worth” of stocks just for the Singles' Day sales.

“In total, we brought in about 3,000 units in preparation for Singles’ Day and Christmas sales, but now these stocks are stuck and are unlikely to be sold,” Mr Lai said.

Mr Jay Jin, 30, general manager of Kernel Scooters, said that he began preparations for Singles’ Day about two months ago.

“We increased our inventory, ordering about 400 more units to cater for the sales event,” he said, adding that he had expected this year’s Singles’ Day sales to be “huge” compared with last year’s.

“We had anticipated even higher sales and brought in more units to cater to those looking to convert to UL2272-certified models, but it seems like it is going to be our worst one yet.”

He had also poured in “thousands of dollars” on marketing collaterals and advertisement listings on Facebook, and e-commerce platforms such as Lazada and Qoo10.

Most of these stocks are likely to become “worthless” as many customers have begun to “lose faith” in using PMDs, Mr Jin said.

Though e-scooters can still be used on cycling paths and on park connector networks, these are not extensive enough and cannot provide interconnectivity between towns, he said.

Under the new ban, e-scooters will be confined to 440km of cycling paths islandwide, instead of 5,500km of footpaths. Those caught flouting the rules can be fined up to S$2,000, jailed for up to three months, or both.

Mr Jin said: “After the announcement (of the ban), potential customers who had wished to convert to the UL2272-certified models don’t have the intention to do so anymore.

“Those who wanted to use PMDs for food delivery also have no more use for these, because they have to keep dismounting on footpaths and it is not practical.”

Another retailer, Mighty Velo, which sells mostly foldable bicycles, is worried that it might not be able to clear the more than 100 pieces of e-scooters in its inventory.

“We don’t have any idea of what to do with them now,” its co-founder Vivian Yuan said.

SCRAMBLING FOR ALTERNATIVES

The retailers who spoke to TODAY recalled that they had "a rude shock” upon learning about the new rules earlier this week.

“The news came as a surprise and without warning, so we are desperately trying to find alternatives to clear our stock now,” Mr Jin of Kernel Scooters said.

He could potentially start selling bicycles, he added. He is also considering exporting and selling his existing PMD stocks overseas, such as in Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia, although he has done little research on those markets.

Mr Lai from Mobot said: “It is not very feasible to sell to neighbouring countries as motorcycles in these countries are already very cheap; there is little demand for e-scooters.”

Mr Lai said that while he contemplated selling e-scooters in the United States, “it would take time for the scooters to be shipped, and it will be winter season by the time the goods arrive there, so there will be little demand”.

Quite suay. Anticipating people switching to UL2772, then hit by blindside by govt.

Actually a lot of PMD seller caught by surprise ban.

Hearsay LTA told these sellers there are a lot of PMD that will be replaced (as these PMD are not UL2272 compliant) next year.

Some people would say if PMD users did not anyhow ride recklessly on footpaths and created many accidents, injuries and problems, govt should not implemented the ban. So who is at fault le? -_- Same like those bicycle sharing scheme, due to users do not know how to take care and proper use of the bicycle. Look what happened also.

Yes the density of our cities and the poor/reckless social habits of some people.

I don't blame the govt or what. I'm just saying that this news broke at the worst possible time for these SMEs.

11.11 and Black Friday/Xmas period could be half of the year's profits for most such retailers. 

Really suay for them lah. If this news broke 2-3 months ago, they could have at least cancelled orders.
