With a typhoon comes. You can expect heavy rain sometimes for a whole week. Your home feels damp, it is difficult to dry clothes and things around the house may start to smell.

But how do you pick one that’s right for you? Here are the top 3 tips for buying a dehumidifier.

E-games

When you suddenly have an extra day off, apart from staying at home to rest, many choose to meet friends and play Mahjong but what if there aren’t enough people to start a game? In recent years, Xbox, PS4, PS5 and Switch have become must-have entertainment items at home as not only can you play alone, you can also play with others online.

Audio Equipment & Speaker
