Suggestions To Protecting You & Your Family

Hi Huneybees,

I have a new addiction - online shopping, or rather I would call it "finger shopping". Going out has become a hassle to me, I hate wearing that face mask that makes me breathless and I've also become very conscious of a place's cleanliness and hygiene.

So, I'm home most of the time and that makes me realize my increasing need for new home appliances. I've already gotten a new vacuum cleaner, new fans to keep the house cool, and also a neck massager to relieve my neck pain from all the screen time. 

But with our cranky weather these days plus the COVID-19 and dengue fever on the rise, I'm looking at getting more appliances to improve my home's quality and protect my family too. If you are also looking for some additional help, here are some suggestions...

mc.2 ALTEX ZipBlinds
S$24.80 psf

Working from home might extend out to the balcony as everyone at home is taking up space, but rain, heat, little bugs, and insects or even those prying neighboring eyes can be pretty distracting. When you need that privacy and focus, why not take a look at the ZipBlinds from mc.2?

Sharp Air Purifiers with Mosquito Catcher Feature

JM30 - S$599 / JM40 - S$699 

Protecting my family from COVID and Dengue Fever is now my top priority. I've been looking into air purifiers and these 2 models JM30 and JM40 from Sharp seem to fit right into all the choosing criteria. They can both purify the air from bacteria and viruses with Plasmacluster™️ Technology, while also capturing mosquitoes!

Ariston Andris2 Top 30 Wifi-Enabled Smart Water Heater
S$489 Available Now at all Authorized Dealers' Stores

With so many people at home all the time, fighting for bath time can be a hassle. It takes a while for the shower to heat up and sometimes I just tend to forget and turn on the heater or end up leaving it turned on for too long. Stepping into the smart home world, why not get yourself a water heater that can be easily controlled via a smartphone app?

Ariston Aqua Net App and the Andris2 (equipped with Titanium heating element with lifetime warranty) allows you to adjust the water heater settings, the water heater temperature, schedule for showers, letting you have full control of your water heater with just a touch of the app, thus helping to save energy and also time.

Ruhens V Water Dispenser
Bubblegum Pink & Charcoal $2,599 (with 3 years worth of filters)
Marshmallow Pink and Yogurt $2,549 (with 3 years worth of filter)
Available at Ruhens showroom

I love my cold drinks but the process of making ice and waiting for my drink to chill is just too long a wait. I'm very impatient these days and I love getting "help" that has multiple functions. The Ruhens V Water Dispenser allows convenient access to purified water with 5 preset temperatures, letting you have water at your favourite temperature anytime!


Ok, so these are a few of the electrical appliances and gadgets that I'm eyeing at, do you have others in mind too? Do share and see how we can make life at home easier, more enjoyable, and comfortable...

Samsung Partners With Commune To Show Off Home Integration With Its Premium TVs

Hi Huneybees,

With technology growing every day, so much can be done and improvised, for these new-age gadgets and devices integrate into our lifestyles. Leading local furniture brand Commune and Samsung Electronics Singapore recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding, introducing them as the first non-electronics authorized retailer for selected Samsung TVs including The Frame and The Serif. 

The exclusive partnership is a first-of-its-kind for both Samsung and Commune, which will offer consumers more options to elevate their home décor and living spaces through the fusion of art and design with technology. When you step into the Commune showrooms in Singapore, you can see how sleek and stylish these technology products can seamlessly blend with modern furniture, giving your living space a holistic and comfortable feel.

About The Frame

With interchangeable bezels (sold separately) and other dynamic customization options, The Frame offers more ways than ever to customize the look and feel of a room. The Frame goes beyond the traditional concept of a TV to become a functional piece of home décor that elevates the design of any living space.

See how easily the TV can be integrated into your house' theme.

When it is not being used to enjoy TV programs, The Frame's Art Mode (Some art may require purchase or paid subscription with the Art Store) displays digital pieces of artwork, to transform an everyday living space into a dynamic gallery space. Just like how a framed picture looks different depending on the time of day, The Frame's Brightness Sensor adjusts the screen settings based on the ambient light in the room.

This year, The Frame also features the brilliant picture quality of QLED with deeper contrasts, darker blacks and 100% real color. Equipped with Bixby, Samsung’s AI-powered voice control platform, users can use voice commands to search their favorite shows and streaming platforms, and control compatible smart lights, soundbars, cameras, door locks and more via the SmartThings Dashboard on the TV.

About The Serif

The Serif embodies an iconic design that is perfect for your living space. The TV is the stunning result of a unique collaboration between the award-winning design duo Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec and Samsung. Blurring the line between furniture and technology, The Serif challenges consumers to think about how the TV fits into their homes and lives. 

It is defined by a single frame and draws inspiration from the simple elegance of typography, where the TV forms a distinct “I” shape, designed to be appreciated from any angle.

The Serif is equipped with enhanced performance capabilities and picture quality. With just one touch via Bluetooth®, users can play music directly from their smartphone to their TV. This year, the Serif also features the brilliant picture quality of QLED with deeper contrasts, darker blacks and 100% real color. The result is a sophisticated form factor – one that combines a pristine display with the look and feel of top-of-the-line furniture.

The Serif also comes with sleek and minimalist features that allow the TV to blend seamlessly into the home, through its Magic Screen. Adding new aesthetic and practical value, Samsung's Magic Screen enables the TV to set the mood or fade into the background, depending on user preference. In Magic Screen, the TV can artfully display useful information like the time, weather forecast and the day's headlines. It can also transform into another platform for art by displaying professional photographs, customizable design patterns, and family photos. Exclusive to the Serif, Magic Screen will also feature a Bouroullec Palette, offering users 10 exclusive palettes - two patterns (Fabric & Leaf) in five different colors.

The Magic screen background setting feature may vary depending on the environment where the TV is installed including, but not limited to, wall designs, patterns, and/or colors. The setup process requires a Samsung Account. The TV must have an internet connection for mobile set-up.

Local Pricing and Availability

The Frame and The Serif are both available for purchase at Commune and major consumer electronics stores, at the following recommended retail prices.

Model	RRP
The Frame 2019 (55”)	$3,599
The Frame 2019 (65”)	$5,199
The Serif 2019 (55”)	$3,399

I Am Living Towards My Star Wars Childhood Dream With The Progression Such As LG’s AI-Enabled ThinQ Devices!

Hi Huneybees,

We have certainly came a long way with Artificial Intelligence (AI). I could still vividly recall the excitement of watching R2D2 and C3PO supporting human in their daily activities all over the galaxies, and I never thought (at a tender age of 6 then) I could live to see the realisation of it.

Today, while we are not exactly living in the Star Wars world yet, we do already have a taste of it like the moving Robot Vacuum that many of us owned at home. Whether you like it or not, AI has already made great leap intertwining into our daily life - from our mobile devices that we carry around to the house appliances at home ready to enhance our living experience.

With the rise of Internet Of Things (IoT), smart appliances are abound but companies such as LG Electronics’ (LG) continues to innovate in AI technology and design to realise my childhood (and many Huneybees alike) of living in the Star Wars fantasy. It is this exact determination that have earned the Korean electronic giant the recognition from the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA).

LG’s AI ThinQ-enabled products including LG OLED TV, LG SUPER UHD TV and LG XBOOM were honored for their high competitiveness in categories assessing premium picture quality, artificial intelligence performance and sound excellence.

The LG OLED TV AI ThinQ (model OLED65E8) was named the EISA PREMIUM OLED TV 2018-2019, marking this the seventh consecutive win for the company’s OLED technology. The TV was praised for its picture quality powered by the α (Alpha) 9 processor, which provides true-to-life images with incredibly rich colors, sharpness and depth for more realism and its class-leading artificial intelligence functionality. The EISA jury also praised the Dolby Atmos™ performance and its front firing speakers which produce the most immersive audio-visual experience possible. The picture-on-glass design was also cited for perfectly blending into any environment.

The LG SUPER UHD TV AI ThinQ (model 65SK9500) was recognized as the EISA ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TV 2018-2019 for producing the ultimate LCD TV picture through the combination of technologies including Nano Cell, Full-Array Local Dimming (FALD) and the α (Alpha) 7 processor, as well as LG’s AI ThinQ plat-form and Google Assistant built in.
With LG’s proprietary AI ThinQ, users can control the  TV,  connect  easily to external  devices, switch picture mode and search for content.

The latest advanced voice assistant technology embedded in the TV is achieved by employing Natural Language Processing (NLP) to deliver intelligent voice-activated control and connectivity based on LG’s exclusive deep learning technology. And with the Google Assistant built in, LG’s AI TVs offer a streamlined experience that allows them to manage different tasks, find answers, or control smart home devices, serving as the center of the smart home.
LG’s SUPER UHD TV offers denser backlighting zones throughout the display and significantly improves black levels and picture dimensions through independent control of LED light zones. This delivers better shadow details and reduces light bleeding for enhanced local contrast, important for viewing HDR content. Thanks to the innovative Nano Cell Display, TV viewers can enjoy superb color accuracy and consistency at wide viewing angles without compromising picture quality.

EISA also named LG’s premium AI speaker, the LG XBOOM AI ThinQ (model WK7), as its EISA ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE LOUDSPEAKER 2018-2019 thanks to extraordinary sound quality combined with intelligence. The technical collaboration with Meridian, the British pioneer of high resolution audio, enables LG XBOOM AI ThinQ’s full audio performance to be unleashed for high-fidelity sound, precise vocal definition and accurate bass.
The LG XBOOM AI ThinQ’s High Resolution Audio is compatible with high quality lossless files, allowing it to faithfully recreate sounds originally recorded in the studio.
With Google Assistant integrated directly into the device for quick setup, LG XBOOM
AI ThinQ responds to a user’s commands without the need for a remote control or
smartphone like “Hey Google, what’s my schedule today?” As a hub, the speaker can
control Google Assistant-enabled smart home devices as well as LG home appliances
compatible with LG ThinQ.

Once again, congratulation to LG for this year's EISA honors. It's innovation such as LG's AI-enabled ThinQ devices that is going to move us a step closer towards living my Star Wars childhood dream!
