Why You Should Go For Prepaid
There are various factors to go for prepaid plans instead of postpaid plans. Among the factors, the two biggest driving factors for using prepaid plans are the flexibility of usage and money-saving.
Flexibility of Usage
For prepaid plans, there is no need to commit to any fixed term contract whether it is one year or two years. You can enjoy the privilege to change or swap to any new Telco whenever you want.
There is also no fixed monthly commitment. For postpaid plans, you are tied to a fixed amount of commitment but prepaid plans allow you to switch to cheaper or more expensive plans depending on your monthly budget. Or you may stop subscribing to a new monthly plan if you are away for long holidays.
Money-Saving
Generally, prepaid plans are always cheaper than postpaid plans because they are meant for consumers with a lower budget. Effective 6th September 2018, prepaid reload services are exempted from 6% Service Tax for Malaysians based on Section 34(3)(a) while the postpaid plans charge an additional 6% service tax (SST).
You can also use the Lazada and Shopee app to reload which gives nearly 5%-10% discount. And possibly earning some cashback or coin cashback.
As the Malay saying goes, ‘sedikit-sedikit, lama-lama jadi bukit’. Over time, all these little savings and cash backs add up to a significant amount.

Throughout the years, I have been a user of various mobile plans in Malaysia so I have a knowledge or two on advantages and disadvantages among the local telcos.
I understand an average consumer’s needs because I am standing in the same shoes. Combined with my thorough research and comparison of various prepaid plans, I am confident that I can help you to find the best Malaysia mobile prepaid plan.

Why You Should Trust Me

I understand an average consumer’s needs because I am standing in the same shoes. Combined with my thorough research and comparison of various prepaid plans, I am confident that I can help you to find the best Malaysia mobile prepaid plan.

How I Picked The Best Prepaid Plan
Network Coverage
Network coverage is the most crucial factor you should consider whenever choosing your mobile network provider.
The performance of a mobile network can vary depending on location. Some mobile networks perform well in both rural and city areas while some are just pure sh*t in the rural area as they do not have the infrastructure to support it. Without good network coverage, everything else on a prepaid plan is meaningless.
Speed
Data speed is the second most important factor and it is directly related to network coverage. There are 3G, 4G, 4G LTE and 5G networks.
Price
Each prepaid plan is packaged and priced differently. I am looking for the best and most practical bargain of them all.
Data, Call Time and SMS
Among these three, I consider data/internet is the most essential. Because apps like WhatsApps can easily replace conventional calls and messages (SMS). So, call time and SMS is less of my priority.
Validity
I will focus specifically on the 30-days validity prepaid package. Users with specific needs like extra-long validity periods can explore other available options which are currently out of my list.

How To Find The Best Telco Network In Your Area
Telco network coverage varies according to location. Generally, I would say Celcom has the widest network coverage which includes many rural areas. Maxis followed closely at second. Digi is in third place and the last one will be U Mobile.
To find out the best telco for yourself, please download the OpenSignal app from Google Playstore or Apple App Store.
Download OpenSignal> Open the app> Click on the map icon> View Network Stats

From here, you can see the best network speed based on real-world performance that is crowdsourced from other real users. In my area, you can see Celcom, Digi and Maxis are the top three telcos.

Best High Speed Prepaid Plan For Casual Users
TuneTalk Hi-Value 35

Get New TuneTalk Sim Port in to TuneTalk
For working adults, TuneTalk Hi-Value 35 is the best value high-speed prepaid plan. It is great for its generous 35GB data and unlimited call time to all networks.
Nowadays most telcos go for the unlimited data route with limited speed, this makes TT Hi-Value 35 plan an interesting and favourable choice. Because this TuneTalk prepaid plan offers high-speed data with no speed limit and no data limitation on WiFi hotspots.
The majority of us who already work have broadband internet both at home and at work. So, the 35GB of data should be sufficient to last for a full month.
In the worst-case scenario that you depleted your data, you can get a 10GB data booster for only RM10. It is the cheapest data booster among all prepaid plans.
Speed of mobile data internet is more important for us in order to get things done quickly. This plan is especially great for people who often need to download documents or videos on the go.
Moreover, Tunetalk is riding on the Celcom network which has the widest network coverage area in Malaysia.
With TuneTalk Hi-Value 35, you can enjoy the most stable and fastest mobile network speed on your smartphone.

Best Prepaid Plan For Students
Yoodo Unlimited 35

Get New Yoodo Sim Port in to Yoodo
In my opinion, Yoodo Unlimited 35 is the best prepaid plan for students. It offers unlimited internet with 3Mbps maximum download speed.
As a former undergraduate who stayed in University’s hostel, I understand how poor the school and hostel’s public WiFi is. Most of the time, they are almost unusable.
Students always need tons of data and also ideally, unlimited call time. As we all know, teenagers can binge watch YouTube/Anime for the whole day without any problem.
Given the current Covid19 condition, most students have to attend online classes and Zoom meetings too. It is best for students to go for a prepaid plan with an unlimited data plan, despite having a slower internet speed.
Yoodo doesn’t have unlimited calls but it has 100 minutes of free calls to all networks, which should be sufficient for most people. We can always use WhatsApp calls for less urgent matters.
Besides that, Yoodo has a 6GB WiFi hotspot quota. Although not much, it is good enough for occasional data sharing to other devices or with friends.
On a side note, 3Mbps is only good enough for 480p video streaming. If you try to stream video at a higher resolution, you will get a lot of video buffering.
For students who have a low budget but need unlimited internet, I highly recommend getting the Yoodo Unlimited 35. Yoodo Unlimited 35 is the cheapest unlimited internet with no FUP limit. Hotlink Prepaid Unlimited 35 is not suitable because it has 50GB FUP (fair usage policy), which essentially is only a 50GB plan with a speed cap. And the Celcom XPAX unlimited has no free calls at all.

Best Prepaid Plan Under RM30
TuneTalk Hi-Value 25

Get New TuneTalk Sim Port in to TuneTalk
If you want the cheapest prepaid plan in Malaysia, look no further, you should get the TuneTalk Hi-Value 25. It has a total of 25GB high-speed internet quota per month.
Digi Data Khas Belia is another option at only RM20 which is only available for users aged between 12-25 years old. It has only 15GB data but it has unlimited TikTok and IG usage. Still, I don’t recommend it since Digi doesn’t have the best network coverage.
Another competitor is U Mobile GX30, which has unlimited data and a 6Mbps speed limit. However, the GX30 plan is also not recommended because of the poor network coverage of U Mobile and the 6GB hotspot limit.
On the other hand, TuneTalk Hi-Value 25 has no speed limit and you can use the full 25GB data for WiFi hotspot/tethering.
All of the prepaid plans below RM30 have no unlimited calls features. The TT Hi-Value 25 has a slight advantage among these 3 prepaid plans as it has unlimited TuneTalk free calls.
In general, I’m neutral on whether to subscribe to prepaid plans under RM30. Because most of us are going to make some calls each month. And we will incur additional costs from those calls.
To be safe, I’d suggest getting RM35 prepaid plans with unlimited calls.
If you’re certain that you don’t need any call times at all, then I think TuneTalk Hi-Value 25 plan offers the best value for under RM30.

Best Prepaid Plan With Unlimited Hotspot
TuneTalk Hi-Value 35

Get New TuneTalk Sim Port in to TuneTalk
The thing is, there has never been an unlimited hotspot prepaid plan, at least until today. If you are always using WiFi hotspot, then TuneTalk Hi-Value 35 is the best choice
Hotlink claim that their unlimited prepaid plans have unlimited hotspot. Users only need to pay an extra RM5 to unlock unlimited hotspot.
BUT! Don’t forget that hotlink has a hard limit FUP of only 50GB for all of its unlimited data plans. So, they are not the real deal, they are not unlimited as they claim.
Next, let me show you some simple math why Hotlink Prepaid Unlimited is not worth the money.

From the comparison above, you can clearly see that you are paying RM1 for 1GB of data for both Hotlink and TuneTalk prepaid plans. So, they are both equal in terms of internet quota.
However, TuneTalk Hi-Value 35 has no speed limit while the Hotlink Prepaid Unlimited is limited to only 6Mbps.
If you’re a heavy hotspot user, it is best to get the TuneTalk Hi-Value 35 which gives unlimited free calls to all networks as well. If you use more than 80GB hotspot per month, then you may want to check out Yoodo customized plan.

Best Prepaid Plan With No FUP
Yoodo Unlimited 43

Get New Yoodo Sim Port in to Yoodo
We all hate FUP on unlimited internet mobile plans. Because FUP is just another way that Telco tells you that it is actually a “glorified high quota limited data plan”.
There are a total of three qualified prepaid plans with no FUP: Celcom XPAX Unlimited, U Mobile GX38 and Yoodo Unlimited 43.
Out of the three, Yoodo Unlimited 43 offers the best value with 6Mbps speed, wide network coverage, and 6GB WiFi hotspot.
Celcom XPAX unlimited is capped at 3Mbps. Personally, I think we will need at least 6Mbps for a smooth internet experience in today’s standard. And, it doesn’t come with any free hotspot data. So, I don’t really encourage getting Celcom XPAX.
In fact, U Mobile GX38 is the cheapest unlimited data mobile plan with no FUP limit. It only costs RM35. The speed limit is 6Mbps and the hotspot quota is 12GB, which is quite generous.
However, U Mobile is still suffering from poor network coverage after all the years. If you are living in an area with a good U Mobile signal, then the GX38 is a sweet deal.
In short, I prefer Yoodo Unlimited 43 over U Mobile GX38 because of its better network coverage, despite it being slightly more expensive.

Conclusion
Malaysians are lucky to have a competitive and vibrant mobile network ecosystem. We have the choice of more than 10 mobile service providers available on the market (including redONE, XOX, Yes and Unifi Mobile).
Personally, I am a bit disappointed to see Digi no longer offering any competitive prepaid plan packages in 2021.
Remember that there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to mobile plan choice. Everyone has different needs and consumption habits. Take the time to explore all the available prepaid plans, and you will surely find one plan that suits your requirements.

Just to ask, I haven’t switched my plan in the last 8 years and I’m totally out of touch with the topic of telco plans. Would the author (Kai) still recommend TT Hi-35? And is the charges for Hi-35 flat RM35 a month or is there any additional charges and/or separate monthly reload amounts needed?

The max speed depends on many factors: users density around your area, signal strength etc.
My personal experience is about 40-60 Mbps when its good. When its bad, its only about 5-8 Mbps.

As an active user of Hotlink RM35 package (prepaid) based in Ipoh, I’m truly frustrated with the line service recently. I can’t even send or receive simply a Wechat or WhatsApp message for the whole day while I’m outdoor. I was a Maxis user before MCO but since I cannot finish the data subscribed under MaxisOne 128 plan, I switched to Hotlink, thought the line would be fine as it’s under Maxis. Well, I found that I’m wrong – at least in Ipoh, it’s suck.

I bet RM10 – 20 difference make a lot of difference for the mass market. That’s the reason our telco carefully crafted their plan pricing to stand out from each other.
I do aware that there is method to bypass limit. But its out of my topic. There’s downside too and might not be working forever.

Hi Kai,
With TuneTalk Vibe 30 already discontinued and Ookyo dropping dead next month, this article is getting outdated real fast. Hope to see an updated article soon. If there is an upcoming review for prepaid plans in 2020, I hope telcos like Unifi mobile (BEBAS), OneXOX and Yoodo will be included into the comparison along with other major telcos.
I’m hoping that the updated review will be ready soon, so I know which plans will suit my data-heavy needs the best.
Best wishes~

HI Kai,
What would you say is the best Sim for data allowance? I was hoping to get at least 20gb for my P30 Pro as I will be in Malaysia for a month traveling.
Data is most important for me but I could also do with 100-300 mins talk time, txts are not that important to me.
I noticed the review is a year old now, has anything changed (Any better deals?)
Many thanks for your time and support.
Kind regards.

Good day Hugh,
Tourist or traveller SIM is different. None of the packages above are applicable for tourist.
For tourist,
I will recommend:
1. Best Value – Digi 4G Plus Traveller Package – https://www.digi.com.my/shop/prepaid-plans/travel-sim-card
2. Good Value & Good Coverage –  TuneTalk Traveller Power Pack – https://www.tunetalk.com/my/en/coolplan/traveller/get-sim
If you are going to be only in town area, go for Digi. If you’re going to visit city outskirt or rural area, it’s better to get TuneTalk power pack.
Cheers.~

I WILL NEVER BUY DIGI AGAIN.  Twice Digi SIM cards have suddenly failed with loads of credit locked inside.  Went in to Digi Service Centre and they said they could do nothing because I could not produce my original old passport!  They would not accept copy or my new passport.  All details the same except PP number change.   What!   So I had to manually recover all my contacts, change my business card and website contact, call or visit my banks, business and personal contacts to give them my new SIM number.  Of course Digi never refunded the credit in the failed cards.  Bad technology, poor coverage, brain dead  customer services, no credit refund.  This company deserves to be struck off.

First off, thanks for all your hardwork in helping us netizens summarize information for these mobile plans. Going through their individual websites (esp Digi) is a massive headache and sore to the eyes. Anyways, I’ve been a Maxis postpaid user for more than a decade now (currently on Maxis 128) and been thinking of changing to a prepaid as sometimes I’m paying the 128 even though I’m not in the country.
I’m getting 40GB with unlimited calls & SMS for RM 128++. Also tried converting to Yoodo cos of the strong data customisation but the app crashes on my phone despite all my efforts to use it (even reset phone to factory settings!). Can you recommend any prepaid plans that I can go for? Thanks heaps

Since you won’t be in the country. I assume you are not going to use much call time. Why not get the TuneTalk yearly plan RM200 for 360 days validity. It works out for around RM17 per month only. And you get 10GB data each month, so you may use utilize the data whenever you’re back to town and still keep your number alive.
Cheer~

This #sureone package looks like a no-brainer great deal. I think its definitely worth to get it.
I kinda hate how the prepaid scenes turn out nowadays.
Both Ookyo and Tunetalk Vibe 30 which I highly endorse also made a U-turn on their service.
Vibe 30 no longer available and ookyo no longer has unlimited call & SMS. Time to scrap these two plans.
It makes me wonder whether they read this review and realize they offer too much value for users and retract them. ZZZzzzzz

Thanks for the informative reviews. Yoodo is not reliable as i could not access its data server despite still having 2GB balance. This is quite frequent and hence, opting me to search for an alternative. Also, Yoodo does not allow SMS to nos. 66300, etc.
Btw, i could not subscribe to OOKYO Prepaid 30 as it indicated not available in Malaysia. Please do advise on this. I am staying in Kuala Lumpur.

Hi Sharen,
Sorry to hear your experience with Yoodo. Have you contacted their support?
Ookyo doesn’t support iPhone. Maybe the problem is because you’re using an iPhone? and Ookyo has its own set of shortcoming too.
Perhaps you should skip the MVNO and go to the usual trio which are Hotlink, Celcom-Xpax, or Digi.
You can use my summary table to evaluate yourself based on your needs and budget.
Or you need to give me more info in order for me to assist you. Your data, call time requirement and budget?

You should get XOX as the validity is 28 months. Upon buying a xox number plus topup RM60 is RM70 where you can get 333 minutes validity following your prepaid card validity. If you want data topup RM50 and buy season pass 10 GB. Every month subscribe from season pass min 500Mb from season pass so your season pass will last 20 months provided you do not use more than 500Mb monthly. If you subscribe 1Gb monthly then your 10Gb can only last for 10 months. Every time you topup your validity extends RM1 equals 1 day ie above you topup RM110 thus your expiry will extend by 110 days from 28 months. Good for low user and people working overseas ythat only use their mobile when they return to malaysia.

yes, no more Vibe plan because Vibe is for those who use TuneTalk Buddies Prepaid
Now Tunetalk is only offering “Tune Talk Value Prepaid Pack”. Too bad for late comers.

That is a shame because I’m looking for a well rounded prepaid (with data, free calls to all networks, and reasonable rates) under RM30 and this was perfect.
I don’t think there’s any such service for all the telco now. Unless there’s something i missed out?
Alternatively there’s also Hotlink Flex but it’s RM40/month but comes with unlimited calls/sms and 5GB. It’s a postpaid plan but it’s not exactly cheap when compared to Vibe.
There’s also ONEXOX though it’s doesn’t seem to be in the list. Any particular reason for this?

Like me,a data hungry person, am using hotlink fast plan + yes konfem 4G plan.
Hotlink fast every week get 2GB data sat/sun. RM3 10GB or reward 2GB 1-7am to download big files. Speed 50-70Mbps at my location.
Yes konfem 4G plan unlimited data speed capped at 4Mbps RM30/month, for everyday use.
(Need band 38/40 lte compatible phone to use & manually set APN setting in simcard setting if the APN is empty)
So if I topped up my maxis every week RM5, I will probably have to pay RM50 per month.

Hi Cake-san,
Thanks for the suggestion.
It’s good that you found the best plan that works out for your need.
I have had a bad experience before with 4G-only internet plan (Unifi mobile)
Mainly due to I am moving all the time and 4G really isn’t available at all the places right now, internet constantly drop off.
With your combo set up, both plans should complement each other.
Interested to know whether you’re using two phones, or a dual 4G support phone, or one phone + one mobile hotspot?

You’re welcomed bro.
My condolence for your Unifi mobile experience. Unifi mobile to me is pretty expensive.
Better to have backup.
Well, I’m using lenovo zuk z2 plus, so I think it’s dual 4G support phone ? But I can only use one cellular data line at a time. Also, yes konfem 4G prepaid plan cannot be share by mobile hotspot,only your current phone can use the data, except if you have a device that can bypass that lah (using apps or custom rom).
So, if I want to download files more than 1GB and I want it fast, I switch to maxis, else, I switch to my yes 4G. In my experienced using yes konfem 4G, you can still watch youtube in hd (1080p) quality without buffering (4Mbps lol). I haven’t try playing online game yet.
Yes has volte but I never use it (no one calling me,gg), from other’s people saying, the call quality is pretty good.Ofcourse, you need phone that has that features lah.
Cheers.

If you subscribe to TuneTalk +Vibe 30 for RM28.30, you will not get the free 4GB high-speed internet.
I’m not sure whether it’s due to the price you pay is less than RM30, or the subscription of +Vibe plan is not considered as top up.

Hi Sylvia,
I supposed it is only “top-up” will grant you 15days 4GB high-speed internet.
It has nothing to do with the subscription of any TuneTalk plan.

Hi Sylvia,
Truly sorry for the confusion there.
Because I presume anyone would have to top up RM30 before renewal of the TuneTalk vibe+ subscription each month.
And my full paragraph read as below:
“Besides, monthly top up of RM30 grants users another 4GB high-speed internet which valid for 15 days. Basically, users get as much as 16GB per month for RM28.30 because 15 days validity for the extra data is a very long period compared to other competitors”

Hi Waylon,
May I know When exactly you sign up?
After reading your comment as well as Sylvia’s, I decided to check in detail with TuneTalk customer care. And apparently, they have quietly made changes to their plan. Even worse, Tunetalk vibe+ plan no longer available for new users, only still available for old Tune talk buddies pack user. So disappointed!
I will update my post as soon as possible to see what is the best offer right now.

Hi Naquid,
I afraid there’s no suitable prepaid plan for unlimited hotspot.
You may check out my postpaid plan review. In my opinion, Yoodo 100Gb package is good.
Gauge your daily/monthly data usage, sometimes you don’t really need the “unlimited” plan. If you need true unlimited speed and hotspot quota, there’s only one plan qualifies. Digi Infinite which costs RM150 per month.

Hi Kai, thank you for the insightful analysis.
Just a heads-up: XPax Youth (Prepaid) offers 50% extra data for eligible customers, so the price per GB is more favourable compared to regular XPax plans. For instance, the 15GB monthly plan is available for RM50, thus the price per GB is at RM3.33/GB.
Do you have any plans to include special offers like above into the comparison?
Also, why does your “prepaid plans under 60” comparison table include 3 plans above RM60?

Hi Nathaniel,
1. XPax Youth is not included in the list simply because it is not accessible by all users but only anyone age 12-25.
It also makes the comparison more complex if I were to include a special plan.
Anyways, if you’re interested in Xpax Youth 50, you should subscribe to Yoodo RM53 package (20Gb data & 50 minutes call time) which I think is more value for money. Significantly more data and comes with call time to all networks.
2. Plans above RM60 are included to give readers an idea what will it cost if they wish to get a similar package at other Telco at a glance. Example: From the table, you immediately learn that hotlink red is actually RM12 more expensive than Digi SuperTerrer 58.
Stay tuned for more great reviews and tips to come in 2019.

Thanks Kai.
I was actually looking at Tune Talk (“TT”) other plans after looked at the TT Online Plans +VIBE.
I found that there’s a TT 120 Gigabytes (“GB”) Yearly Plan priced at RM200 which gives user 10GB/Month for 12 months (“plan”).
Source: https://www.tunetalk.com/my/en/coolplan/data/datatata-plan
Hence, I think you may want to add this plan in your article to provide another option for people ONLY needs data plan. As the plan does not offer free calls/sms.
So basically the user just need to pay approximately RM 16.67 per month for 10GB of data which is approximately RM1.67 of price per GB.
Meanwhile when you top up RM100 after you sign up, TT will give you 100 days validity + 8GB (for 15 days)
Source: https://www.tunetalk.com/my/en/topup/overview
Another top up of RM100 on the 16th day will give you another 100 days validity + 8GB (for 15 days)
Basically you would have 16 GB free data on the first month before subscribe to the plan if you top up in that way.
So you may ask if the data plan are for one year, do we have to top up RM 365 in order to get one year validity or a smarter way which is purchase the one year validity for RM28.
Let me tell you, there’s no need to worry about this yet.
According to the terms and condition, you will get one year validity after subscribing the plan.
“120GB* Yearly Plan – 10GB* allocation per month (30 days) for 12 months from date and time of subscription at the cost of RM200 per year and comes with 1 year airtime validity from date of subscription. (*Limited Time Offer)”.
Source: https://www.tunetalk.com/my/en/coolplan/data/datatata-plan, “Terms and Conditions; 2(e)”
Hence at the moment, by paying only RM200. You can get 8GB (for 15 days) + 8GB (for 15 days) + 10GB (30 days) for 12 months.
A total of 136 GB for only RM 200 which gives approximately RM1.47 of price per Gigabytes and it can last for 390 days.
Last but not least, although this plan are extremely cheap.
Here are the cons, which you have to ensure the place you went and stay have extremely good coverage for Celcom services or at least acceptable before you decided to make this significant decision.
Also the plan are marked with asterisk which means Limited Time Offer. Grab it fast before TT discontinued the plan like they did on +VIBE 200
Be sure to correct me if you found something wrong about my strategy. Cheers =]

Hi Kelvin,
If the users only need data and very very little talk time then this is a great plan with “long validity”. In fact, I had planned to write an article on the best long validity prepaid plan for special usage like iPad, network connected security system, etc.
This post mainly focuses on the best prepaid plans for “most Malaysian users” which means plenty of data, adequate talk time and minimal SMS.(most common user consumption priority: data > call time > sms)
Stay tuned with me and techrakyat.com for updates. I will definitely cover this topic in the future.

“Yes, it’s Unlimited Internet. Really.
As long as you have a valid Unlimited App, all activities inside the app is unlimited. Example:-
Facebook – scrolling timeline & profiles, browsing photos and watching video.
Whatsapp/WeChat – sending and receiving messages, files, voice calls and video calls”

you are wrong on your yoodo statement
“However, there is one huge disadvantage of Yoodo. It does not allow data/call time/SMS add-on in middle of the month which can be risky when you over utilized your call time or mobile data. You do not have any means to top up additional call time or mobile data.”
you can add more in the middle of your plan using ‘booster’ ie buy more in the app

10 Best Food Blenders In Malaysia

Everyone wants to eat and drink healthy at all times. Blenders help make nutritious food such as smoothies and detox juices while air fryers cook healthier food without the needs for excessive oil.
When it comes to cooking, the kitchen blender is one of the most important time-saving kitchen appliances.

Blenders speed up cutting and smashing of food. And can be used to prepare hearty soups and puree.
We have gathered reviews from Lazada and Shopee, and come up with a list of the 10 best-selling blenders in Malaysia, as shown below:

Kelen Munoz 7-in-1 Food Blender & JuicerBlenders FAQWhat are the best blender brands in Malaysia?How to choose a blender?
1. KHIND Multi Blender Chopper BLC129

Here is a powerful blender from Khind, a home brand in Malaysia. Khind Multi Blender Chopper BLC129  comes with plenty of accessories at a compact size.
Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee

KHIND Multi Blender Chopper BLC129 Specifications:
Power: 500WRPM: Chopper – 6000rpm 15%+/-, Blender – 23000rpm 15% +/-Capacity: Blender Jug – 0.57L, Chopper Bowl – 1.2LNet Weight: 2.1kgAccessories: Citrus Juicer, Grinder
Customer’s Positive Review:
Packing cantik…brg cantik…semua cantik…warranty nk registration online..sgt mudah..I’m done tq
Customer’s Negative Review:
-No negative reviews on the product itself. Few complaints on delivery issue-
The double blades are made of SUS304 stainless steel for durability and more effective food processing function. With its 500W motor, it can grind dried food into fine powder.
It has a pulse switch along with a powerful motor to help make your food preparation easier and faster.
The chopper bowl is made of heat resistant plastic and is BPA free. The interchangeable accessories give you flexibility when it comes to your cooking.
To top things off, this blender comes with a safety switch that ensures you can’t start the blender before properly securing them in place
This Khind BLC129  blender comes with a 1-year local manufacturer warranty.

2. Panasonic Twin Jugs Blender With Dry Mill (MX-M210SSL)

Panasonic Twin Jugs Blender MX-M210SSL is a simple yet solid blender with a durable stainless-steel cutter that blends your food to create a smoother texture.
Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee

Panasonic MX-M210SSL Blender Specifications:
Power: 450WRPM: 11,000 rpmCapacity: Jug (2 sets) – 1.35L and 1.0LNet Weight: 3kgAccessories: Dry Mill
Customer’s Positive Review:
Fast delivery. Product is working fine, comes with 2 big jars and a small one for chopping. I used it for blending smoothies for the whole family. Good value for money.
Customer’s Negative Review:
Delivery and seller are fine but the product I just realized has only on-off function, no options for high/low/medium etc. very surprised Panasonic didn’t think of it!
Panasonic MX-M210SSL blender comes with two jugs and a dry mill. Those who frequently cooks may have run into situations which need to blend different food which not meant to be mix together.
So, normally people have no choice but to wash the jug before blending another type of food. With 2 jugs readily available, it should help to ease the situation a lot.
It also includes a scrapper that helps to mix food more evenly.
There is only a simple ON/OFF button. So, you’ll just need to turn on and off anytime you want to. There’s no speed adjustment nor pulse feature on this blender.
The plastic jug is lightweight – easy to handle and wash.
As usual, there are also safety features built in, namely the Safety Lock function that ensures the jug must be secured in properly in order to proceed.
Upon experiencing any overload, the circuit breaker will trigger to protect the motor and yourself.
This Panasonic twin jug blender comes with 1 year local manufacturer warranty.

3. SAMU GIKEN Multifunction 7-in-1 Blender Set (SG-MFB1400B)

Next on the list, we have this SAMU GIKEN Multifunctional Blender SG-MFB1400B. It is a set of 7 in 1 all-purpose blender which can take care of your blending, grinding and chopping.
Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee

Although the brand name itself may sound very Japanese, I have doubt that this is a truly Japanese company or product.
This is a very typical marketing tactic that many Malaysian companies use to sell their product, just like every other Malaysia furniture brand that put italian brand name.
Nonetheless, it is still one of the top favourite blenders on Lazada and Shopee. Let’s find out more.
SAMU GIKEN Multifunction 7-in-1 Blender Specifications:
Power: 400WRPM: -not stated-Capacity: Jug – 1LAccessories: Feeding Lid, Jug Cover, Jug, Flat Blade, Flat Cover, Low Cup, Plunger, Cross Blade, Chopper Lid, Shopper Bowl, ‘S’ Blade, High Cup, Filter, Drinking Cover
Customer’s Positive Review:
Barang diterima dlm keadaan baik. Setakat ini blender yg digunakan berfungsi dgn baik. Memang berbaloi harga sebab dapat satu jug besar yg boleh juga digunakan utk blend buah siap penapis. Satu bekas kecil utk blend bijiran kering atau cili. Dua bekas saiz gelas utk blend buah jus. Dan satu lagi bekas saiz mangkuk utk blend daging dsb. Puashati.
Customer’s Negative Review:
DO NOT BUY!!! We used the blender for 2 weeks then it stopped working. The blender cup is stuck on the motor and it will not disconnect. We cannot use the blender and want to return it under warranty. We messaged the seller 1 week ago and still have no reply. We messaged again, but no reply. Now the liquid inside is rotten and stinking, and we can’t empty it. The blender is junk, and the seller is irresponsible. Don’t waste your money on this blender.”
It comes with lots of accessories which are easily interchangeable to make your cooking life easier and also faster.
The blade and nozzle are made of stainless steel. The combination of a cross and flat blade brings about a more efficient blending function.
The chopper is able to grind meat and can turn grains into fine powder.
It offers 2 Speeds with 8 Variable Speed Control functions which is great as this gives you greater flexibility in controlling how fine you want your food to be.
Fitted with a safety switch, this gives you a peace of mind when operating this appliance.
Samu Giken 7-in-1 blender comes with 2 years local supplier warranty.

4. Midea MBL-35BK Blender

This Midea MBL-35BK Blender comes with a plastic jug and a grinder cup, with a mediocre 350W motor.
It is a very basic and simple blender that does the job.
Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee

Midea MBL-35BK specifications:
Power: 350WCapacity: Jar  – 1.25L, Grinder – 200mLNet Weight: 1.9kgAccessories: Grinder cupDimensions (Box) : 390 x 182 x 182mm
Customer’s Positive Review:
Good value for money.. good product quality
Customer’s Negative Review:
Bunyi kuat blh than…blen bwang pun xlumat…
At only RM60, it is great that it offers 2-Speed Control function and also a pulse switch control too.
This allows users to have better control over deciding the exact texture they’d like their food to be.
The blade is made of stainless steel so no worries about durability and rustiness issue.
Also, this blender is equipped with a base security lock to ensure your jar is secured in properly before using.
This Midea blender comes with 1 year local manufacturer warranty.

5. Riverside TurboMAX 1500Watt Professional Commercial Kitchen Multipurpose Super Heavy Duty Blender

If you need a larger capacity, heavy-duty commercial-grade blender, this Riverside TurboMAX 1500 watt Professional Blender could be it for you.
Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee

Riverside TurboMAX 1500W commercial blender specifications:
Power: 1500WRPM: 30,000Capacity: Glass Jar – 2LNet Weight: 3.5kgAccessories: Cleaning brush, Stir StickDimensions: 280 x 210 x 370mm
Customer’s Positive Review:
Sorry for the late review. I had to test it first haha. Yep this is definetely one good workforce blender. It can crush Ices! That is all that matter for me honestly lol. It has various speed..and a blazingly fast blend too. I used them to make mostly drinks for now..and I don’t have to get or buy Ice blended or smoochies since I can do it myself now with some recipe on google! Woohoo! Product built is good, Hopefully it last longer than stated on page. I even saw some people using it at Pasar Malam and cafe. Yep same stuff. Thanks Riverside! and Lazada! Great item. Thumbs up!
Customer’s Negative Review:
Barang dah sampai tapi baru guna dua tiga kali dah keluar asap dan hangit kemudian tak boleh nak on.
Equipped with a 2L BPA free and heat resistant glass jug, this is a commercial-grade blender/mixer.
It is claimed that the blade is made of Germany stainless steel 3D cyclone 6 blades are sturdily made and can last very long.
Not only is it simple to use, its 1500W energy powerful motor comes with 20 speeds control and can run up to 30,000 rpm!
This appliance operates at a lower temperature and this is great as this helps to retain the nutrients. Multi-functional, this blender can mince meat, dry grains and nuts even ice.
Fitted with an overload/overheat protector function, you’ll be rest assured to use this blender with a peace of mind.
And lastly, take note that this blender uses a China plug, take note and if you think it is inconvenient or insecure, get other blenders with a local 3-pin plug.
This Riverside 1500W blender comes with a 1-year international manufacturer warranty.

6. Philips Daily Collection Blender with Additional Jug (HR2059/90)

We definitely have to include  Philips HR2059/90 blender in the list as it has more than 1500 rating with an average of 4.5 stars out of 5.
It sports a modern and unconventional design.
Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee

Philips HR2059 blender specifications:
Power: 450WCapacity: Plastic Jar – 1LNet Weight: 3.5kgAccessories: 2 Jars, 1 MillDimensions: 280 x 210 x 370mm
Customer’s Positive Review:
Fast delivery, received in weekend. Very good quality blender indeed. Although the jar look small but actually it’s wider and same size as standard jar. Blended quite fast too. Recommended!
Customer’s Negative Review:
Not recommended. I tried to blend soft fruit which is dragon fruit with milk the whole machine is shaking with burned smell. I haven even try to put ice yet!
Two rubber on the blender leg not provided. This issue has been highlighted by previous customer but no action taken by philips e-store. Hope philips e-store could furnish the missing parts

First thing, we want to highlight that the negative reviews on this blender are pretty critical.
It could be a few independent cases.
But still, the chances are there that you may get defective units and have to go through the process of claiming a warranty to exchange the product. So, do take into consideration this factor before you decide to buy it.
With its 4 stars stainless steel blade, this Philips blender can blend and crush ice within  a minute.
It has a pulse function that serves to crush ice more effectively and dislodge any food stuck under the blade designed for effective blending and mixing.
Unfortunately, it has only one speed setting, so may not be suitable for those who want a finer control with blender
The mill is great to grind spices, nuts and coffee beans. All removable parts are dishwasher safe.
Equipped with motor overheating protection function, this blender motor is protected from overheating and over-current conditions, during use.
 The plastic jar is break-resistant with a more ergonomically designed design that comes with a comfortable thumb grip handle.
This Philips HR2059 blender comes with 2 years international manufacturer warranty.

7. OKINO Soundproof Blender 1500W (OKINO 8001)

OKINO 8001 blender is a professional multifunctional blender with a soundproof shield.
The soundproof feature is not commonly found in a consumer-grade kitchen blender. So, it is kind of unique.
Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee

Okino Soundproof blender specifications:
Power: 1500WCapacity: Plastic Jug – 1.5LAccessories: 1 Jar
Customer’s Positive Review:
Excellent product as advertised. Silent and well built. Very much recommended.
Customer’s Negative Review:
-None-
We all know normal blenders are loud and noisy. It can be quite disturbing at times. And inconvenient to use if you have a baby who is sleeping in the house.
This Okino 8001 blender is specifically pre-equipped with a soundproof shield. It has an integrated but removable quiet shield enclosure that helps dampen the blending noise.
Coupled with variable speed dial control, this blender gives effortless blending control for restaurant-quality results.
It gives you the control of the speed to create different types of food texture.
Its powerful 1500-watt motor efficiently crushes ice and frozen ingredients in seconds. The hardened, stainless steel 6 blades rotate at high speeds to crush even the tougher ingredients.
Unfortunately, this Okino 8001 soundproof blender only comes with only 3 months local manufacturer warranty.

8. Pensonic PB3203L 1.0L Blender

This is an affordable Pensonic PB-3203L blender that comes with a durable stainless-steel blade that can crush and cut chunks of food into your desired texture and size.

Customer’s Positive Review:

Customer’s Negative Review:

The transparent plastic jug is detachable for easy cleaning and comes with a stirrer.
You can use the stirrer to blend a better mixture.
The blender has a safety lock in place before you can proceed to use it.
This Pensonic blender is a very normal and conventional blender. In fact, it has the lowest motor power among other blenders in this list.
However, it has over 3000 positive reviews on Shopee which I simply cannot ignore.
If you prefer to support local brands, then this Pensonic is a great budget blender choice.
This Pensonic PB3203L 1.0L blender comes with 1 year local manufacturer warranty.

9. TOSHIBA 600W BL-60PHNMY 1.5L Ice Blender

Toshiba BL-60PHNMY Blender, another online users’ favourite, with over 500 reviews and 4.4 out of 5 stars on Lazada.

Customer’s Positive Review:
Excellent service. Very good item. Sharp blades and powerful motor. Satisfied!
Customer’s Negative Review:
best blender ni sbb 1. blh bakar kalori lepas kena drill lubang sendiri utk guna penutup. 2. bila guna utk blend air, ais tak hncur habis. so ada tekstrur krup krap sikit. sedapp 3. bunyi plg best. bila guna tu, mak terus call “ko senyap sikit blh tak?” dari kampung. first time mak call. happy sgt!
Toshiba claims that the blender has twice the durability, providing a powerful and swift blending function as well.
It has a large capacity 1.5L BPA free plastic jug with improved resistance to solvents and stress cracking.
The two layers 4-point SUS 301 blade is amazing and blend more efficiently. Plus, it is removable for easy cleaning.
There is a simple 2-speeds control knob with pulse function, that gives you the choice to control the exact speed to create the texture you want in your food.
The grinder jar can be used to grind spices, coffee beans and other grains into different textures from fine to coarse.
The interlock safety protection feature ensures your safety when using.
 There are also removable anti-slip feet to ensure the blender stays tightly in place especially during usage.
One last note, I have purposely picked the worst user review I can find for this Toshiba blender.
 Although the review is incredibly sarcastic and harsh, that is still an honest opinion from other actual users.
For a sub RM100 blender, we really can’t expect it to produce smoothies of quality comparable to blender which cost thousands of Ringgit Malaysia.
The motor blending speed of such a budget blender is not capable nor powerful enough to produce a super fine blend.
This Toshiba 600W blender comes with a 1-year local manufacturer warranty.

10. Kelen Munoz 7-in-1 Food Blender & Juicer

Kelen Munoz 7-in-1 food blender and juicer has a classic and timeless style. Hundreds of units have been sold on Shopee, and they’ve got a 4.9 out of 5-star rating from more than 400 user reviews.

Customer’s Positive Review:
This juice machine is considered good. 👍👍👍👍. But The glass material is so so ( quite fragile. ) 🤔🤔🤔🤔 overall okay pass 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Customer’s Negative Review:
The blender not so powerful as it unable blend the ice till like ice blended.
The powerful pure copper motor along with the stainless steel flat cross blade is able to grind, mix, blend, chop, slice and shred your food easily.
It has a standard  2-speeds button that gives you the control to get the texture you want. There’s pulse function too which is handy for getting food unstuck and blend evenly.
It is equipped with safety overheat protection that you don’t need to constantly worry about burning your blender motor. It also comes with anti-slip feet.
This blender is good for those who want full package of food processor, juicer and blender without spending a fortune. This is obviously a steal for only less than RM170.
So, we can see that there are some feedbacks that mention it looks fragile. I think this is unavoidable since they need to save cost somewhere else.
So, get this blender if you want functionality. If you want durability, may explore blenders from other brands.
Kelen Munoz 7-in-1 blender comes with a 1-year local manufacturer warranty.

Philips PerfectCare 9000 Review: Ironing Has Never Been Easier

The Philips PerfectCare 9000 Steam Generator Iron (that’s a mouthful to say) is, hands down, the best iron I have ever used. It is powerful, light, and able to get rid of creases from clothes in the blink of an eye.

Pros and cons of Philips PerfectCare 9000 Iron

Pros
ActiveSense technology with no burns guaranteeAwesome safety feature9 bar steam pressure for fast crease removal

Cons
Premium price tag

Summary
The Philips PerfectCare 9000 is the perfect iron that you could ever dream of. It only takes a short 2 minutes to heat up, and then you can continuously iron non-stop as it comes with a big 1.8 litres water tank.

The ActiveSense technology with AI camera can recognize thousand types of fabrics. There’s no temperature setting on this iron because it can automatically adjust the optimum temperature based on fabric types. Impressive indeed!
It also has auto shut-off and smart anti-burn feature that give you peace of mind.
All in all, Philips PerfectCare 9000 is a hassle-free and worry-free iron to zip through your laundry works.
Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee

A Brief History of the Evolution of Iron
Today, there are three main types of clothes iron: basic iron, steam iron and steam generator iron. Basic iron is the most common iron with a heated soleplate to iron clothes.
Steam Iron
Illustration of how steam iron works. (source: Homeandcook UK)
Then, steam iron is invented, where steam pressure feature is integrated into the iron. High-pressure steam is extremely efficient in removing crease on clothes.
Conventional steam iron has its water storage tank integrated within the iron itself. So the iron becomes bulkier and heavier. And the water storage capacity is usually small where users have to refill the water during one ironing session.
Steam Generator Iron
Illustration of how steam generator iron works. (source: Homeandcook UK)
Stream generator iron is the latest iteration and improvement from the conventional steam iron. The steam generating device is separated out from the iron itself. There’s a dedicated base for purpose of generating iron. The advantage is that it reduces the weight of iron and able to generate high pressure steam more efficiently.

Material and Build Quality
Image source: Philips.com
Unlike the usual bright colour scheme you see on regular irons, the Philips PerfectCare 9000 series is elegantly designed with black and bronze colours.
Although most parts of the iron are made of plastic, it still looks and feels premium.

The iron itself weighs about 970 grams while the base weighs about 4.5 kilograms. Yes, the base is kind of heavy because there’s a boiler inside for boiling water and generating strong steam.
As you can see, this Phlilips iron comes with a  big 1.8-liter transparent tank, which is sufficient for a 2 hours non-stop ironing sessions.
Apart from the maximum heating power and steam pressure, the soleplate of an iron is extremely important. This iron has top of the line  SteamGlide Elite, the best soleplate among Philips irons.

Its stainless steel base is twice as hard as a regular aluminium base. And the patented 6-layer coating with advanced titanium layer provides an ultimate gliding performance and maximum scratch resistance.
Ironing Performance

Philips PerfectCare 9000 is the world’s first iron integrated with A.I technology. It has a built-in camera that actively checking what types of fabric it is ironing, known as the ActiveSense feature.

Unlike conventional iron, this iron actually has no temperature control dial! The temperature and steam amount are automatically adjusted for different types of garment.
In my personal test, this steam generator iron works exceptionally well. It is able to remove creases for most of my clothes with only one stroke. It is such a huge time saver.
“Philips PerfectCare 9000 series makes ironing fun and enjoyable!”, according to my wife who always does the laundry and sometimes dreaded about it.
Besides, this iron can output as high as 9 bars of steam pressure which able to penetrate even the thickest jeans with ease. If you happen to encounter stubborn wrinkles, just hold on the steam trigger to release extra steam to tackle it.
You also can do vertical steaming with this steam iron. But personally, I prefer to just iron my clothes on the iron board which is faster and more efficient.
Safety Features

First on safety features, I would like to touch on the safe carry lock. Basically, it locks your iron onto the base which is heavy and bulky which makes it almost impossible to drop your PerfectCare 9000 series iron.
And it is safe and easy for users to carry the iron around in the house.
The most notable and boldest feature on this iron is that Philips guarantees no burns on all ironable garments. This is only made possible with Philips’ DynamiQ motion sensor as well as the ActiveSense technology.

I have tried to leave the iron on my clothes to test the no burns feature.

When the iron stays still, the iron would turn into idling mode and the blue light indicator is turned on. It will stop heating or emitting steam to protect your clothes.
It really give users peace of mind when ironing without having to worry any accidental burns on clothes.
For additional protection, there’s is also a automatic shut off function. The iron will automatically switch off if it has not been used for a few minutes.
Maintenance

All steam iron or steam generator iron use water, and water contains limescale (whitish, chalk-like compound often around water tap). Hence, limescale will be built up over ironing sessions.
We will need to descale from time to time to ensure the iron works in tip-top condition.
Philip’s exclusive Easy De-Calc Plus system will automatically collect the limescale and store into a limescale container.
We only need to remove the plug to release the scale.
Verdict
Philips PerfectCare 9000 steam generator iron is no doubt an impressive iron that saves much time and energy. However, it comes at a hefty price tag at this moment.
If you can afford one, it is definitely worth to try it out. If you’re on the fence of getting one, roughly evaluate how much time you can save and how you can put those hours into good use. Then, only decide whether you should buy one.
One last tip, you can buy an older model of Philips PerfectCare series instead of the new PerfectCare 9000 series. Because model like Philips PerfectCare Elite GC9630/20 only costs a fraction of it.

What are the best vacuum cleaners in Malaysia?
The best vacuum cleaner in Malaysia is the Dyson V12 Detect Slim Cordless Vacuum. It is cordless, slim, lightweight, and has incredible suction power. In addition, it has an innovative Laser Slim Fluffy Head that reveals invisible dust on floors.
And you could pair it with a Roborock S7 to clean the floor every day automatically.
Let’s check out the full list of 7 best vacuum cleaners in Malaysia below.

1. Dyson V12 Detect Slim
Best Cordless Vacuum Malaysia

Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee
Dyson V12 Detect Slim is the best cordless vacuum in Malaysia because it is lightweight, portable, and cleans well.
Dyson V12 Detect Slim specifications:
Suction power 150 air wattsWeight 2.6kgRun time 40 minutesLaser Slim Fluffy cleaner headDirect Drive cleaner head Hair Screw toolQuick-release combination tool, mini soft dusting brush, stubborn dirt brush

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim comes with a laser slim Fluffy head that shows invisible dust on floors. The vacuum makes cleaning more enjoyable and satisfying when you see all the tiny dust particles being captured.
The vacuum has four-speed modes: eco, medium, max, and auto. The Dyson V12 can pull a maximum of 150 air watts.
The medium suction mode can last about 40 minutes, Eco for about 60 minutes and Max can only last for less than 20 minutes.
Another unique vacuum attachment is the anti-tangle hair screw tool. It is handy if you have pets. Fur and hair can be sucked into the bin without tangling up the vacuum head.

One big reason Dyson is superior to other vacuum brands is its Dyson’s sealed filtration system. It traps 99.97% of microscopic particles, which is ideal for users who suffer from allergies and asthma.
The Dyson V12 Detect Slim is selling at RM3,599 and comes with a 2-year local warranty.

2. Panasonic MC-CL789
Best Corded Vacuum Cleaner

Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee
Panasonic MC-CL789 is the best high-power vacuum cleaner in Malaysia. It has much stronger suction power than cordless vacuums and there is no worry about battery life.
Panasonic MC-CL789 specifications:
Advanced Mega Cyclone System2200W power5m cord length8 layers of HEPA filtration 2.2 litres binnozzle for mattress and curtain nozzleMetal telescopic wand

The Panasonic MC-CL789 uses a stainless steel pre-filter similar to the one you find on Xiaomi and Dyson Cordless Vacuum. It prevents clogging of the filter and ensures maximum suction power all the time.
This Panasonic bagless vacuum cleaner has many useful attachments, such as a curtain nozzle, mattress nozzle, crevice nozzle, dusting brush and full capture nozzle.

It also comes with a handy metal telescopic wand to adjust the length to your liking.
The mattress nozzle has a built-in dust sensor that can detect dust particles as small as 70 μm.
When the light is red, it indicates there is dirt on that area; when the light turns off, it means the bed is clean.
Panasonic MC-CL789 is a powerful vacuum that will make your daily cleaning effortless. It uses an 8-layer filtration system including Stainless Guard and Double HEPA to keep your home clean while vacuuming.

3. 70mai Car Vacuum
Best Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Malaysia

Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee
The 70mai car vacuum cleaner is also known as the 70mai Swift Vacuum Cleaner It is the best portable handheld vacuum cleaner in Malaysia.
70mai Car Vacuum specifications:
Max suction 5000PaBattery 4000mAhRun time 24 minutesWeight 700gUSB-C charging portUltra-portable handheld vacuum

The 70mai Swift is marketed as a car vacuum cleaner but can also be used at home. Because it is so small, it is very portable and can easily be stored anywhere.
70mai Swift is a simple cordless handheld vacuum with only two attachments: a brush head and a tall flat head. The flat head is useful for reaching narrow spaces.
Despite being a very compact vacuum, it features a prefilter and a HEPA 11 filter to prevent dust from recirculating.
The 70mai Swift is very handy for picking up small debris and dirt but its suction power is rather weak. It has good suction power for its size but is not comparable to a standard size cordless vacuum.

4. Bosch GAS 12-25 PL
Best Heavy Duty Vacuum Cleaner Malaysia

Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee
Bosch GAS 12-25 PL is the best heavy-duty vacuum cleaner in Malaysia. It has stronger suction and a bigger capacity than the Bosch GAS15 PS and GAS12.
Bosch GAS15 specifications:
3-metre long flexible hoseFloor nozzle and crevice nozzlePre-filter and HEPA filterPower 1250WMaximum airflow 65 l/sMaximum capacity 20 litres

You should expect a heavy-duty vacuum to function no matter what the conditions and situation are. The Bosch GAS 12-25 PL can do both dry and wet vacuums.
The Bosch 2-in-1 vacuum cleaner can handle large amounts of fine dust, sawdust, or cement debris without any problems.
It has auto power on mode for power tools. The dust extractor will start automatically when you are using the power tool. And it will stop when you switch off the power tool.
With this Bosch vacuum, you can keep your workspace dust-free since it has a pre-filter and a HEPA H13 filter that can filter 99.95% of fine dust.
The Bosch GAS 12-25 PL is a reliable heavy-duty vacuum especially if you’re a contractor or have a small DIY workshop at home.

5. Xiaomi Dust Mite Vacuum Cleaner
Best Dust Mite Vacuum Malaysia

Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee
If you want to remove dust mites from your bed and pillow, I recommend the Xiaomi Dust Mite Vacuum Cleaner. I also prefer the corded version to the cordless version because you can use it at full power all the time without worrying about running out of batteries.
Xiaomi Dust Mite Vacuum Cleaner specifications:
Beating frequency 10,000 beats/minSuction 12000 Pa3 steps dust filterUV-C for killing bacteria and mites50 degrees Celsius hot air Wire length 4 metres

There are many of dirt, dust, and even mites hidden in our bed, which are invisible to our naked eyes. Therefore, we should use a dust mite vacuum cleaner to clean our beds periodically.
The Xiaomi Dust Mite Vacuum uses a 5 step cleaning process to remove bacteria and dust mites from the bed.
These five steps are tapping, sweeping, UV sterilization, vacuuming, and blowing hot air.
This Xiaomi Dust Mite Vacuum is primarily used for vacuuming the mattress, but it can also be used for cleaning pillows, sofas, and chairs. You can do more with this vacuum cleaner.
There is a 3-step filtration system which includes a stainless steel prefilter, a HEPA filter, and a sponge filter to ensure that 99.9% of dust is captured. You can wash all the filter parts with water, making them incredibly easy to maintain.
On the other hand, there is a Cordless Xiaomi Dust Mite Vacuum. It is a more powerful vacuum with stronger suction and faster tapping.
The statement is only true if you’re using the maximum power output, which in turn will shorten its battery life.
Hence, I recommend buying the Wired Xiaomi Dust Mite Vacuum and not the cordless version.

6. Bissell Wet Vacuum SpotClean Pro
Best Wet Vacuum Cleaner Malaysia

Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee
Dust mite cleaners can be useful for removing bacteria and dust mites as well as bed bugs from mattresses and sofas, but they cannot remove any kind of visible stains. For removing stains and marks, you will need to use the Bissell Vacuum SpotClean Pro.
Bissell Wet Vacuum SpotClean Pro specifications:
Clean water tank capacity 2.8LDirty water tank capacity 2.2LHose length 1.5mCord length 6.7mWeight 5.8kgTough stain tool and large tool

BISSEL SpotClean Pro looks like a regular vacuum cleaner but has separate tanks for clean water and dirty water. It can be used to clean any type of upholstery or carpet.
A 6.7m power cord allows you to cover any spot in your house easily. In the box, two attachments are included: a large brush and a small brush.
The large brush is suitable for big area cleaning like rugs and carpets. And the small brush is great for spot cleaning tough stains and dirty marks.
The BISSELL Wet Vacuum Cleaner works great in removing stains from carpet and upholstery. It just takes a few more passes to remove stubborn stains.
There is often a complaint about the Bissel vacuum’s loud noise when it is running. This is unavoided due to its compact-sized.
Regardless, it is still a very convenient wet vacuum that can clean carpet, mattress, curtain, and sofa so that they look like new again.
The Bissell SpotClean Pro is the best wet vacuum cleaner for Malaysian households.  For people with children, cats, or pets at home, who are likely to have a dirty couch/carpet, this is the perfect vacuum.

7. Roborock S7
Best Robot Vacuum Malaysia

Best deal on Lazada Best deal on Shopee
Roborock S7 is the best robot vacuum in Malaysia. It has the best cleaning performance and a very smart mapping feature.
Roborock S7 specifications:
Suction power – 2500PaBattery life – 180 minutes, 5200mAhMopping – YesSensor – LiDARExtra features – HEPA filter, Sonic Mopping, VibraRise Mop Cloth, multimap storage, carpet detection, rubber brush

The Roborock S7 has strong suction power of 2500Pa and a big 5200mAh battery. It will automatically adjust suction power depending on the floor surface.
This allows the vacuum to clean an entire 250 square metre house effectively.
The Roborock S7 is best known for its impressive navigation and mapping features. LIDAR is used to create a detailed map of your home.
Also, Roborock and MiHome smartphone apps are top-of-the-line. It is very user-friendly and comes with tons of control in it. Using this app, you can schedule, customize cleaning, set up no-go zones, and view the robot’s position in real-time.
There is also a mopping module that can be attached to the back of the Roborock S7. So, mopping and vacuuming are carried out at the same time.
Roborock S7 is an amazing 2-in-1 robot vacuum cleaner that can clean your floor very well and save lots of your time.

Competition
Deerma CM800 Review
Deerma CM800 is often compared with Xiaomi Dust Mite Vacuum, as both vacuums are similar in price. Although the Deerma CM800 has a slightly stronger 13000 Pa suction power, it is notorious for easily overheating. It cannot be used for prolonged vacuuming sessions.
Hence, I don’t recommend buying Deerma CM800.

Vacuum Cleaner FAQs

Are cordless vacuums better than corded vacuums?

Generally, cordless vacuums are better than corded vacuums for daily cleaning.  It is more portable, rather than having to plug and unplug the vacuum at different locations around the house.A corded vacuum cleaner provides better suction power and a longer working duration.

Is a car vacuum worth it?

In my opinion, car vacuums are not worth purchasing. The wired car vacuum is inconvenient to use, and the wireless vacuum is too expensive for its basic function and poor suction power.Getting a standard size cordless vacuum cleaner is an overall better investment.

Do I need a heavy-duty vacuum cleaner?

For normal household cleaning, you don’t need a commercial heavy-duty vacuum cleaner. The heavy-duty vacuum cleaner is recommended only for those who have a large area of carpet in their home.  Or those who always have to deal with a large amount of fine dust eg: a DIY workshop.

Do I need a dust mite cleaner?

Yes, dust mite cleaners are highly recommended because they can pick up a lot of non-visible dust from your mattress and pillow. You can keep your bed more clean and healthy.

Are expensive vacuum cleaners worth it?

Yes, expensive vacuum cleaners are worth the money because they will perform better than cheap vacuum cleaners. They usually have better motors, stronger suction power and long-lasting battery life. RM500 to RM1000 vacuum cleaners are generally satisfactory for most people.

Buying Guide: How To Choose Power Bank

Everyone has owned or purchased a power bank at some point. In Malaysia, buying the right power bank can be full of traps. There are way too many irresponsible sellers which sell power banks with incorrect capacity and power output.
This buying guide aims to educate and help the average consumers to find the best power bank for themselves.

Here are the top 5 factors to consider when buying a power bank:
CapacityPortabilityPower outputPortsBrands and warranty

Table of Contents
Toggle
1. Capacity2. Portability3. Power Output 4. Ports5. Brands and WarrantyAdditional Features
1. Capacity
The capacity of a power bank is the most important feature when it comes to selecting a power bank.
The unit of measure for capacity is mAh, which stands for milliampere-hour. It measures how much electric charge a battery can supply
Power banks with high mAh are usually more favourable but that also equals a bigger power bank size.
Hence, you need to identify the device you intend to charge with the power bank and how many charge cycles you need.  Generally, the capacity required is as shown in the table below.
<3000 mAh5000 – 10000 mAh> 15000 mAh1 charge for smartphone2-3 charges for smartphone>4 charges for smartphoneNot suitable for tablet1 charge for tablet1-2 charges for tablet––Partial charge for laptop or Switch
For example, you don’t want to carry a brick-sized power bank with 15000 mAh when you only need to charge your iPhone 12 mini once throughout the day. Because iPhone 12 mini battery is only rated 2227 mAh.
For this case, you only need a power bank ranges from 2500 to 3000. Don’t go for exactly 2000 mAh though. Because there’s always power loss during the charging process. A good power bank should deliver charging above 90% of its claimed mAh.
So, pick the power bank capacity that matches your needs. It is not always bigger is better.
And don’t be tricked by false claims of unreasonably high mAh capacity too. Many sellers overstated the power bank capacity. Common sense will you that there is no way a small power bank has 50,000 mAh. Right?
The last thing to take note of power bank capacity is compliance with airline power bank regulation. The current airline regulations only allow not more than two power banks that are rated below 100Wh or 20000mAh to be taken on flights.
2. Portability
When it comes to portability, there are mainly three categories of sizes available, which are ultra-slim, normal and large size. Each of these sizes fulfils different charging needs and users’ habit

In my opinion, a good power bank should be easily fit into pockets. A power bank is meant to be mobile and carried around to charge our phone, whenever and wherever we need it. My recommendation of power bank size is shown below.
Ultra-slim power bank – suitable for light users to charge the mobile phones. use the smartphone for communication, web browsing, watch videos and check social media.Normal size power bank – suitable for mobile gamers. 10,000 mAh can charge iPhone about 3 times. It can last for few good rounds Mobile Legends and PUBG Mobile throughout the day.Large size power bank – suitable to charge multiple devices, eg: smartphone, Nintendo Switch, and even laptops with USB-C charging port.
3. Power Output
The power output is measured in watts (W). The formula of watts is equal to (V)*(A), which is Volt times Ampere.
You may notice that some power banks stated the port output is 5V/3A, which means it is 15W output. Today many smartphones come with super-fast charging, it usually requires 45W and above power output to achieve the maximum charging speed.
And also, if you need quick-charge for multiple devices, make sure you check for the single port output and combined output.
Cheap power banks usually only have one fast-charge port while the rest of the ports can only charge at normal speed.
4. Ports
Next, you have to determine the number of ports and the required port types. Do you need one, two or three output ports? And what types of ports do you need?
Typically, power banks have USB-C, USB-A for power output, and micro USB ports for power input/recharging.

Today, USB-C is the most commonly used connection port. The majority of smartphone brands are also providing USB type A to type C charging cables.
However, many budget power banks are still using the micro USB port for recharging. To make charging more convenient, I recommend buying power banks with a USB-C charging input port.
To make it even better, you should get a power bank that comes with a quick charge USB type C port so that you don’t need to wait for long hours for the power bank to be fully recharged.
If you want to charge Nintendo Switch, make sure you get the power banks with a USB type C Power Delivery port (USB PD). For charging Macbook Pro you will need a USB PD which is rated 100W.
5. Brands and Warranty
Brands matter when it comes to picking a power bank. I recommend to stick with reputable brands like Anker, Xiaomi, Tronsmart, Aukey, ZMI and Pineng.

This is because there are too many brands that falsely marketing their power bank capacity, eg: stating the power bank as 30,000 mAh while it only has 5,000 mAH. But that’s an obvious example that can be easily spotted.
Since we have no way to verify the actual capacity before buying one, it is better to stick with brands that have reputable track records. Stay away from knock-off or unknown power bank brands.
In terms of warranty, it is preferable to buy from local sellers who give local warranty. There is no doubt that the longer warranty period is better.
Additional Features
Below are some of the useful additional features which you may want to take into consideration when choosing a power bank.
Wireless charging – power bank with wireless charging is cool and convenient as you don’t need to bring along any cables. But wireless charging is relatively inefficient and slow as compared to charging through cable.LCD/LED screen – some power banks have clear and easy to read battery status on the LCD screen. It’s good to be able to read the exact balance percentage of power bank.Water-resistance  – if you’re using the power bank for outdoor activities, you should consider getting a power bank that is water-resistant. You can check out RAVPower water-resistant power banks.Flashlight – a feature which I never find it to be useful but some people may actually like it.
