5 Home Appliances That Will Save You Money in the Long Run

We all want value for our money, so when looking for items to buy, there's a tendency to go for the more affordable option. While this works out most of the time, it isn't always the case, especially when buying high-ticket items for the home. 

Any wise shopper will tell you that price may be a factor when deciding which model of aircon to buy, or which TV will last you longer, but it is not the only factor. Those who know will also look at durability, efficiency, versatility, and a brand's after-sales service. The five products below rank high in all these aspects. Consider them when you want high-quality home appliances and fixtures:

Dyson Purecool Purifying Fan 
Did you know that air pollution indoors can be up to 5x worse than outdoors? Pollutants can get trapped inside and circulation of airflow can become compromised, causing health problems like asthma to you and your family members. 

The new Dyson Purecool is a fan that also purifies and automatically removes gases and 99.95% of microscopic allergens and pollutants as small as .01 microns in the air. Its dense HEPA filter captures ultrafine particles, allergens and gases so you and your family can breathe cleaner air. It draws in air from all angles and passes it through the filter before projecting it into the annual loop to deliver cool, purified air. And so you know it's working, a mobile phone app allows you to monitor air quality. 

The Dyson Purecool is available at Dyson at The Podium Mall, Ortigas, Pasig, and other Dyson branches.

Cuisinart Griddler
Still using numerous fryers and pans for your cooking needs? This awesome multifunctional grill has five separate cooking options, and can handle everything from pancakes to sausages, steaks, hamburgers, and paninis. It has dual temperature controls that ensure everything is perfectly cooked every time, and it features a floating cover and a set of reversible plates that snap in and out. With something so versatile, it's so much easier now to prepare healthy food, and whip up on-the-go meals, too! 

The Cuisinart Griddler is exclusively distributed by Rustan Marketing Corporation and is available in leading department stores nationwide.
