OSIM iLife...

$628 iLife

Bought an OSIM iLife for baby to put in mummy's house as there is always people smoking near my mummy's place and its causing baby to cough so often. Though its ex, we will do anything for baby.. Read on Today's Parents magazine, secondhand smoke can cause colds, wheezing, ear infections and asthma.. Its scary as deardear had asthma when he was young. Moreover, its proven that even if parents who smoked outside of the house, the levels of respirable suspended particles, including nicotine, were significantly higher in their home compared to those whose parents do not smoke. Its because nicotine attaches to the hair and body while other particles can attach themselves to a smoker's clothes. These are then dispersed into the air of a household when a smoker comes back in after a smoke. Though we do not smoke, the particles are in the air and its harmful for baby... Just have to eat lesser then.. SIgh.. Went around BHG last night with deardear to search for air purifier. I have search online for different brands.. The prices ranges from $99 to $1100. They have OSIM, Honeywell, Maier, Ioncare etc.. Deardear and I have looked at Maier and Ioncare at BHG DIY store. We were quite convinced by one of the model that costs $189. However, its made in China and looks very plastic according to deardear. So when we went past OSIM, we went in to have a look. The salesperson looks very sincere in explaining the product to us and we were very convinced that OSIM is good for him esp with Singapore's weather so weird nowadays, eg Haze and this 7th month. The filters in the iLife is used in hospitals and SIA plane. That convinced us further and he also said that the purified air help to prevent cough, asthma and lung problems. Will update on the "goodness" of the iLife.
