Hoffman Clean Air System

If you have a baby, or if you or any of your family members are sensitive - allergic, easily irritated with dust, have sinusitis or can't breathe well when the air is "polluted". Then, you might want to consider buying this. That is the same reason, I decided to go for this, - but be sure you have fully decided to dive in and purchase this because it is worth Php60,000.00 (if I'm not mistaken)! People, plants and pets cause airborne particles that affects are overall well being - its passable for some and hard for sensitive as previously mention.

Hoffman Clean Air System reduces the amount of animal dander and industrial pollutants in the air improving its quality in the process making it healthier and safe.

Filtrations have several stages including:

*Pre-Filter - catches big particles including human hair, pet hair, strings, threads and cobwebs

*Formaldehyde Filterer Multi-Care Filter - has antibacterial substance, traps dust, pollen and ultrafine particles larger than 20 nanometers including bacteria and some viruses. Hence making this a good appliance to have if you have a residing patient in the house.
Good to know: World Health Organization reported the Avian Virus, Human Influenza Viruses and the Legionella Bacterium are larger than 20 nanometers.

*Activated Carbon Filter - removes odor and harmful gases effectively. Can conveniently be use after cooking smelly dishes in the kitchen - with style! I personally use this too to clean the air after we insect-spray-repellant our rooms. ;)

*HEPA Filter - has antibacterial coating that effectively removes finer dust, cigarette smoke, organic germs and moulds. Perfect mould reducer during humid weather.

Aside from the common on/off mode button with light, power button, and fan speed. It also comes with light sensor for night mode, silent button, automatic button, replacement filter indication and air quality indication light.

Color - Air Quality
Blue - Very Good
Green - Good
Purple - Fair
Red - Bad

This is what it looks like after opening it in our air-conditioned room. Note that the air quality indication is set to standard, which means it could go to purple or even red if its put to sensitive motion.

Then after several minutes, the air quality indicated very good quality air!

In addition to this, it could maintain the temperature of the room, so we could set our air condition unit into automatic or one hour earlier (time setting) before automatic turn off and still have the "coolness" linger longer.

Very useful indeed, the only downside I guess is the way the air is going. As seen in the picture above, the mouth of the fan is facing upward! It would be more useful as a "fan" if it could rotate and is horizontally aligned!

Kenjitsu Energy Cooker

Do you remember my Inex post. One of our Inex Technology appliance is the Kenjitsu Energy Cooker. And yes, we now  have two units of this recent kitchen appliance star!

A kitchen is not up-to-date or wouldn't be called modern  if its not donning an induction cooker! Since we only have gas stove as a staple way to cook , an electric stove that we rarely use because of high consumption of electricity (and we still practice cooking-with-woods/charcoal in the province), we drooled ourselves (mom, my sister Beth-who loves to cook - and I) on this!

touch screen buttons and fireless cooking plate

Works on 220-240 Volts or 50/60 Hertz, this Kenjitsu Energy Cooker is almost Php60,000.00 on the price tag! But is it worth it? The thumbs ups:

• as seen on its packaging and instruction manual, this energy cooker is safe against hot surface blisters, scalds and burns making cooking with kids a safer quality time
• safe against leaking gas poison and the possibility of gas tank explosion (morbid but true)
• futuristic - with NANO High Technology Multi-Functional Induction & Halogen Cooker, touch screen seamless buttons and sleek Vitroceramic black cooktop glass surface finish
• timer - allows you to dovetail (multi-tasking): be it washing the dishes or sleeping, the timer will save you from burning the casserole (just make sure, your timer is right)
• portable - one single burner is travel friendly. perfect for outdoor hotpot and out-of-town vacay. Just make sure you're staying in an area well electricity is not a problem
• perfect cooking- by-the-book partner - temperature can be adjusted by degree
• low electric consumption - compared to other electric burner, induction cookers use less energy while cooking faster

The not-so-good:

• Magnetic cookware or no cooking at all! - yep, the magic only works for steel and iron pot. If you collect stainless steel/cast iron pots and pans then no problemo, but if you're not, time to spring clean the kitchen and shop for new cookeries!
• The Price is not so nice - as stated on my previous post, one was won as a price and one was taken out of the credit card worth Php60,000.00 inclusive of free items, but the actual price of a new Kenjitsu Energy Cooker is Php56,900.00
• No money, no honey - if you didn't pay the bills - okay, scratch that, if blackouts, brownouts, power failure, whatever happen to you, then no food tonight! Unless you have a generator and an extra if the first generator got issues too
• higher electricity bill - it consumes lesser electric energy compared to ordinary electric stove so if you are currently using the electric stove it is a thumbs up, but if you are upgrading from gas stove to induction cooker, then this kitchen appliance will be added on top of your monthly electric consumption bill (unless you invent yourself a mechanical device - a stay in place bike connected to a generator with extension cord plugs - that'll burn your fats while excreting electricity)

By count, you could shrug off the cons and run your butt out and buy a new induction cooker, but believe me, if you can't afford to spare another buck to pay your Meralco bill and a generator hasn't got a place in your garage yet, think twice. If you really can't help yourself falling in love with this device because your futuristic, tech savvy and loves to cook, then go!But take this advice: never let go of your gas stove, you may play with induction cooker when times are great but the gas stove -its your friend when in need. *put strong winds and heavy rains in the dark here*

Nevertheless, we are enjoying the package we won and the package we bought. We now have our very own home oxygenated water, two massage chairs, etc. :) Happy costumers as we could be, I had a confession to make --- I bought another Inex package worth Php60,000.00 00! OMG double HKP! i'll be posting about what I've got soon!
