Areas

Cabinets

All the surfaces of the cabinets should be cleaned by disinfecting. Especially the knobs that you and your family usually grip to open/close the cabinets, where might contain a lot of germs and viruses. The same idea for cleaning the appearance of kitchen appliances, and you should take care of them also with disinfection.

Countertop and Table

The countertop or the table could be the very place that full of germs and viruses because it’s the place that we use every single day. Therefore, you should disinfect this area regularly after each time you finish cooking or having dinner on the countertop and the table. However, despite cleaning them every day, it’s also great you have this place disinfected entirely and periodically as well. When you try to sanitize the areas, find the specific products for the surface to avoid permanent scratch. And it’s better that you use a sponge for a larger range of a surface and the brushers for the corners to disinfect, and then rinse the surface with a clean towel.

Rangehood

The rangehood will be harder than the other areas to clean due to the oily exterior caused by daily cooking. Use the degreaser to wash the oil off the hood, and rinse the residual off with a clean damp towel. At this point, it’s not necessary to disinfect the rangehood because the virus couldn’t survive under the degreaser. If you still worry about the viruses, you can disinfect the rangehood after cleaning.

Sink

The sink has been used to contain a lot of dirty dishes and left-over, so it could be a very nasty place that might develop a lot of germs and viruses. Thus, it must be properly cleaned to get rid of the dirty materials and the odors by using the degreasers and dishwashing.

If it’s possible, try not to leave any dirty dishes or left-over overnight. Wash them right away when you’ve finished each meal to avoid every possibility of getting sick.

Floor

You might have vacuumed the floor regularly, but the one in the kitchen could be the pain in the you-know-what for having remained some oily stuff on it. To thoroughly clean the floor in the kitchen, you can use towels or a mop with some soapy water to clean the oily spots around the floor. Wait until the floor evaporated, you can then start vacuuming the floor again.

Cleaning the whole kitchen is a bit troublesome and tiring, but if you have it cleaned on a regular basis, it won’t be a difficult job to do a deeper cleaning once a month. Especially in the current situation, keeping the environment clean and disinfected could protect you all along to get through the pandemic. Stay Safe.

Tips for Cleaning Electric Fans

In the hot days, pedestal fans, rechargeable fans, wall fans, and ceiling fans are the important home appliances to help us cool down the temperature indoor beside the air conditioner.

After long-time usage of the fans, it will accumulate plenty of dust and dirt, which could lower the effectiveness or even bring harm to the fans. And thus, a regular clean is a must-do procedure to maintain the effectiveness and long-last using period.

**For your safety, please turn off the fans and make sure you leave it unplugged before you start the cleaning procedures.**

The Blades

Blades are the place that contains most of dust and dirt and where can increase much effectiveness after being cleaned. To clean the blades, you can use a wiper with water to clean the dirt out, not necessarily clean with the disinfection. And if you want to disinfect the blades back to front entirely, you can also detach the blades from the body.

The Body

The body part, which is including the base and the back, should not be a problem to wipe out all the dirt and dust by cleaning them with a clean cloth. You can add disinfectants if you want to disinfect the body part of a fan entirely.

The Switches

All the switches are the most critical section that you need to focus on disinfecting for which is the place everyone touches the most. It won’t be enough that you clean the stains but disinfect the germs and the viruses that could attach to the switches. And also, if you have a remote controller for your fans, do remember to disinfect that too because it’s also a place where you often touch when you start using the electric fans.

For different types of fans, like the pedestal, the ceiling, and the wall types, you can clean them by the division of blades, body, and switches, and put more focus on the switches.

The tips apply to all types of electric fans. (Photo credit: QASA)

And finally, the regular clean for your home appliances could benefit you with a place where is clean and safe.

Must-Have Appliances in Your Kitchen

If you’re someone who needs to cook every day for yourself or your family members, and it sometimes becomes a very messy, greasy job to do, and thus people might hate or feel stressed when they’re about to cook.

I love doing the cooking, and I also think it shouldn’t become a messy job that affects your interests and feelings while making meals. Therefore, it’s quite important to find the essential appliances and use them properly to have a pleasant cooking moment. You should then find some tools and appliances to make your cooking easier and more efficient.

There are plenty of kitchen appliances that you can put in your kitchen, but I’d like to focus more on the small appliances that truly help you do the cooking, not the white goods like refrigerators or dishwashers which are not the main tools helping you accelerate the process of cooking or the main factor to make the food taste better.

In my opinion, I think the following 6 kitchen appliances are the must-have ones in your kitchen.

Gas/Electric Cooker

The gas cooker is inevitable when you want to make the raw food into cooked. If it’s possible, you can choose the one with an easy-to-clean surface, like glass or stainless steel made appearance. Perhaps, the electric cooker plates can be an alternative due to safety reasons.

There are two types of cookers: Gas & Electric Cookers, which are the essential tools in the kitchen.

Microwave Oven

If you want to defrost the food in a short time by reheating it, the microwave oven will play a significant role here. Traditionally, we put the frozen materials in the room-temperature environment and await for a half or the whole day until it’s got soft. It’s not an efficient way to do it.

Other than that, microwave ovens can heat up a lot of food and beverage, of course, with the proper containers, such as milk and leftover. And it only needs a few minutes to do it. With the microwave ovens’ help, you can save a lot of time preparing a quick meal.

Microwave oven is a great invention that helps people do the cooking more easily and quickly.

Oven Toasters

Do you have anything to grill on special days? Want some grilled turkey whenever you might want it? Then, you can not miss having an oven toaster in your kitchen. It can grill the delicious chicken and also help with toasting the bread, which you need to start the day as breakfast.

Blender or Food Processor

I think the blender is one of the basic devices that people will put in their kitchen because it’s very helpful to have a cup of juice or grind some ingredients. Some might even purchase a high-watt motor model to make smoothies. And some people might find a food processor to make a wider variety of foods. Either way can genuinely help you do the cooking.

You can always see a variety of blender models in the market. Different models have their own features for your demands.

Pressure Cooker

If you have a pressure cooker to help you cook, simmer, or stew, then you can expend the diversity of your recipes. And it does condense the time of making something that needs a long period of time to complete, and it can also save your money on the cost of gas or electricity.

Rice Cooker

With a single button, you can have a bowl of smell-nice rice to eat. In Nigerian cuisine recipes, having well-cooked rice is a major factor in making a delicious plate, like Jollof rice. But the point still is it’s easy to operate and time-saving.

Except for what mentioned above, I think some appliances are NICE to HAVE. Which meaning you still can have a nice and easy food without these appliances, but it could be more fun and helpful if you cook with these.

Sandwich maker

If you want a quick-made heated toast, the sandwich should be the one for you. You might get lazy to turn on the toaster oven to make the simple breakfast some time. Once you have a sandwich maker, you can efficiently heat the sandwich, and it will be grilled with a cute shape on the bread.

AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator)

We all know the power supply has been unstable, which could damage our electronics and kitchen appliances. Especially, the kitchen appliances, whether big or small, are quite expensive and we don’t want to spend more money on it for repairing it or buying a new one. And thus, if it’s possible, I would suggest you spend a small amount of money on AVRs and connect the kitchen appliances with the AVRs so your devices will be well protected from the electricity damage.

Dish Drainer

Does a dish drainer have anything to do with cooking? The answer is no! It has no features to help you cook, but it can make the kitchen clean and neat! The clean dishes have a place to be put in and that will make your cooking environment more pleasant and comfortable.

These kitchen appliances are the ones I think you must put in your kitchen so you will have a delightful and enjoyable moment in the kitchen while cooking.

Do you agree with the list I present? If you have suggestions on the must-have appliances that I didn’t cover, please feel free to let me know by commenting down below.

Wash Your Clothes in an Efficient Way

Is this the process you do your laundry all the time:

Gather all the dirty clothes; Pour them all down into the washing machine tub; Add large doze of the laundry detergents with the water pouring down to the container; Spin dry the excessive water; Hang out the clothes (or dry out in the washing machine)?

Yes, I think I’m seeing you nodding your head while reading the process I wrote.

Mmm, it’s not an ideal process to do but I won’t say that you’re doing it wrong. Instead, I’d like to give you some suggestions for doing your laundry.

In this article, you’d like you to take it as consider how to protect your clothes while in the whole washing process and also correctly maintain your wash machine by the simple daily behaviors.

I divide the process into 3 phases: before washing, start washing, and after washing clothes.

Before washing clothes

Sort out your clothes into 2 main types of colored and white ones, due to a simple reason: deep-colored could have a high possibility to dye the light-colored and white clothes in the middle of the washing process.
In the middle of sorting the clothes, you can also read the instructions in the care tags, where will show you how to adjust the ways of washing for correctly treating its fabric. Additionally, you should pay attention to its requirement for washing by hand wash or washing machine.
After clothes sorted out and the ways of washing determined by its instructions, don’t put the clothes into the washing tub yet. First, add laundry detergent and water in the washing machine before you toss the clothes in. Secondly, mix the detergent and water evenly. And then you put the clothes in when the water got the level corresponding to the volume of clothes.

*If you can add warm water, approximately 40-degree celsius, the laundry detergents could have a better effect of cleansing.

Sort out your clothes that need to be washed so that they can be fully washed without affecting the colors from each other.

Start washing clothes

Add the proper quantity of clothes into the washing machine. Some suggest the volume of clothes be should be around 70% of the size of the container.
Follow the instructions of the washing cycle and choose the most suitable cycle that is suitable for the fabric of clothes.

After washing clothes

Hanging the clothes outside for air drying should not be too long because you don’t want your clothes to get dirty again due to air pollution. Therefore, they should be taken inside as long as they’re dried.
Give a basic check inside the washing and the spinning tubs, and see if there’s any dust or items left inside or in the lint filter, which is better to get wiped out or picked up after each laundry is done. By doing so, the durability of your washing machine could last longer by such simple behavior.
The basic check doesn’t mean you need a regular schedule of cleaning washing machine. Here’s an article illustrating what to do for correctly maintaining your washing machine: tinyurl.com/qme3hl7

Remember to take your clothes inside as long as it’s dried already so the air pollution won’t get the clothes dirty again.

It’s an easy job to grow the behaviors of properly doing the laundry by starting sorting your clothes, reading the care tags, and changing the process of adding laundry detergents and water.

From the perspective of an efficient way of washing clothes as well as maintaining a washing machine, you can make a behavior change right away!

*If you use the multifunctional single-tub washing machine, this article may not suit you entirely except for sorting clothes and reading the care tags.

Don’t Do It to Your Blender

A blender is a common appliance in everyone’s kitchen. It can accelerate the process of cooking in a very efficient way and make the quality of our lives better with those healthy fresh juice and a dish of delicious cuisine with lots of seasoning made with a blender. However, even using the blender every single day, do you avoid those dangerous steps when you’re turning on it? Do you fully comprehend what the do-not-do-it actions are? Or, have you ever read the instruction before you started using it?

It’s very important that you fully understand what behaviors you should avoid or what actions you should take before start using it. Here I present some basic REASONABLE actions that you can easily take on while using a blender. And those actions are not only protecting the machine but protecting you from getting all kinds of harm by incorrectly operating the blender.

A blender has several options for you to do your recipes.

Before Turning On: Connect with an AVR.

For being in a place where provides an unstable electric supply, you should try everything you could to connect your electronics with the stabilizers, a.k.a AVRs, the blender is included. Even though you usually don’t use it for a long time, it’s still better that you connect it with an AVR for fear of hurting the motors or the internal microchips with any possibility.

Level Up

Leveling the electronics up is something everybody understands but not thoroughly do it. So, it’s vital to check if your blender is balanced on the platform where it’s settled.

Put on the Lid

After checking the balance of the blender, put the lid back to where it was, the container. Everybody hurries in cooking, so some will omit to put back the lid as they should. It is not a big mistake that will cause any casualties, but you don’t want to see all the ingredients spurting all around your kitchen.

Stir with Stick Correctly

Some of the blenders provide a stick that is used along with the lid closed upon the container. According to how it’s invented, do remember using the stick after putting back the lid. Or it will be a disaster if you put the stick into the container to stir your ingredients without the lid closed, and you’ll see the stick getting CRUSHED into your ingredients.

If you need to check if your ingredients are ready or not, this is what you should do: turn the blender off and wait for the motor fully stopped, and then mix the ingredients as you wish with the stick. After finishing stirring with the stick, do remember to put out the stick and put back the lid.

Take Up the Container after the Motor Fully Stopped.

There are gear counterparts that drive the blades connecting between the container and the motor. For not hurting the gears, I would suggest you take the container up after the mix-up done when the motor has stopped.

Don’t do those things to your blender. Models: QASA Blender QBL-2048

The tips above are the basic reasonable actions for you to grow up the behaviors of correctly operating a blender. And it has been written in the instructions provided with every blender. Therefore, you can look into the instructions or start practicing the behaviors next time you use your blender.

How to Choose A Blender?

A blender has become a basic kitchen appliance in every family. Making juice or grinding ingredients are the necessary processes for every meal that you must have every day. Even for the fancy recipes, it still needs blenders to make those incredible meals real.

Because every household needs a blender, and thus there’re hundreds of brands and models to meet the daily life demands. Therefore, to precisely choose a brand and a model out of a variety of thousand of them that perfectly matches your requirement is a serious and challenging task to handle. No worries, you can follow this article to clarify your requirement and wisely choose a model that is satisfied with your budget.

For completing the task, there’re several things you need to think about.

To clarify your purposes of using a blender, you can ask yourself with these 4 questions:

How much budget do I have?

I think the budget is the first question you need to clarify. The prices vary brands from brands, same brand but different models also have different prices. If you don’t have much budget for buying, you can start searching for the models with the basic functions. In contrast, if you have a great budget, you can have the multiples choices, but still, you need to wisely choose a blender that meets your requirement, don’t waste your money on those fancy function set you don’t need.

How much power I need for a blender?

The power means the watts you might need for a blender. Higher watts is the higher power, and also the possibly higher price. It will help if you clarify what recipe you want to do. For making juice or seasoning material, a lower watts model is enough for you, but for making smoothies, you then need a higher watts model to help you do it.

Normally, you can see a range of 300 watts to 1300 watts in the markets. For daily usage of juice and ingredients, you need 300 watts or up to 600 watts. For grinding frozen materials, you can choose the models around 1000 watts. If for business usage, you might need higher watts, up to 1300 or more, watts.

Different power motors are aiming to deal with different materials.

How many people to blend for?

In other words, you should choose one size of the container for the corresponding amount of people. If you seldom make juice or meal for a big group of people, I would suggest you choose the smaller one.

There are main 3 types of sizes: single, traditional, and carafes. Some brands might provide hybrids with different sizes of the containers.

For personal use, the single size(around 20 ounces, or travel cup) is the obvious choice; the traditional one varies from 50 to 80 ounces, you can pick one that is acceptable for your budget; the size of the carafe is the biggest, above 80 ounces. Some of the brands will have a combination with those 3 sizes for you to choose if you have enough budget.

QASA has mainly the traditional sizes of blender jars.

Some features you may care for

Container

Also, the types of containers have different prices from low to high: plastic, glass, and stainless. The plastic container is lightweight, and it is easy to carry and pour down the juice. Glass is more durable than plastic, and it won’t absorb the odors or discolor of the materials that you put in the container. And the stainless steel is the most durable among them and also the most expensive.

Warranty

Every brand should guarantee they provide at least a one-year warranty for their products. And if you find any issue at the beginning, do remember to find the original providers or the dealers you bought from, they can genuinely identify the issue and have the right tools to fix it. Don’t try to open the model yourself or find the mechanics that are not authorized; otherwise, you will lose the warranty.

By clarifying with those questions, you can have a more clear view to choose the right model and wisely arrange your budget. You don’t need those fancy features or buttons to make yourself a cup of juice; for frozen materials, you only need a higher power motor, so there’s no need for spending money on it.

Tips for Choosing A Solar Power Generator.

As technology keeps progressive with time, human, us, has found many ways to live our lives and also make it more comfortable. Not just that, we have also deliberated the methods to get a cheaper, more efficient, or more eco-friendly solution to make it more affordable and sustainable. And solar power generator is one example.

Solar power is considered as a clean power that can protect the earth.

The Reasons You Need One Solar Power Generator.

Compared to the gas-power generators, solar-power models have some more advantaged features. First of all, the solar-power generator has less noise; we can even say there’s no noise generated during operation. The gas-power generator always has a big sound when it’s in use that could be a severe problem when you’re in a neighboring district, or even worse, when you have to use it in the mid-night. Secondly, generating power through the sun is clean and FREE.

The sun will not charge you when you try using the sunlight to get power. And also, it will not generate any pollution at all, and the sunlight will be available every morning and afternoon. Thirdly, it takes lower maintenance costs due to using no motors and liquid fuel to get power, and thus it lowers the possibilities of repairs. And fourthly, the solar-power generator can automatically operate when the shortage happens. And for the gas-power one, you need to walk out of your house and start the engine. Also, you would make a huge noise in the process.

A Solar Power Generator usually has the functions of charging, stabilizing, and inverting the current.

Guide for Choosing a Right Model Yourself.

In the market, you’ll see a variety of solar-power generators for you to choose from. Sometimes it’s really hard to pick one that is fit for your request. The very first thing is to set a clear purpose when you’re choosing a solar power generator.

Residential Or Portable?

Choosing a portable or a residential solar-power generator is depending on what you desire for household electronics or a portable battery. For a big amount of electricity usage in your house, you can use a residential one as a backup for supporting your household electricity. For a handy usage outside your house, you should choose a portable model that you can take it to places as a stored battery for charing every electric device that you would use outside. In short, you choose a residential model meaning you’d use comparatively larger battery storage, and vice versa. As for the inverter rating, the residential model usually has a larger battery capacity, and it also has a higher inverter capacity, which will affect the paring with the electronics that you want to use. However, if the battery capacity is high and the inverter capacity is low so it can deliver a long period of using.

Power Protection?

A standard solar power normally has a built-in electric stabilizer. This setting is very important because the battery in the solar power generator easily decreases its capacity if it’s discharged or overcharged over and over again. And you won’t be able to stand next to the generator for monitoring as it’s charging and then end the charge operation as it’s needed, so it must have an automatic switch to turn off the charging process. Indicators are also important to show when it needs to start charging for fear from fully discharging.

Multiple Ports and Outlets?

Normally, a solar power generator has several electric ports and outlets for different using purposes. For a PORTABLE solar power generator, it’s nice to have multi-ports, especially the USB ports, which can fit many devices’ requirements to charge power.

A solar power generator has a lot of advantages compared to the gas model. It’s clean, quiet, and multi-functional. And thus, the price is averagely higher than the gas power generators. However, if we also add the price with the cost of fuel for using a gas power generator, the longer period you use, the higher price you might pay due to the extra fuel using.

At the conclusion, I hope this article can help you to clarify the primary purpose you choose a solar generator and also help you identify one model that fits your requirement for a generator.

Save Your Money on Repairing Battery in Your Electronics

Nowadays, our daily life is filled with all kinds of batteries, such as those in mobile devices and rechargeable electronics. From the perspective of long-term usage, it’s important to know how to use the batteries correctly and extend their lifespan.

In Nigeria, we need rechargeable products to make our daily life more comfortable to live with due to constant blackouts. And with those electronics being used daily, we need to find a way to keep the battery functional for long-term usage purposes.

In this article, I do not intend to talk about the alkaline or the NiMH batteries and how you should appropriately use them; instead, I want to briefly instruct the BEHAVIORS that can effectively extend the lifespan of a battery and also save your money on those rechargeable electronics.

Charging Properly with the Indicators: Don’t Fully Discharge or Over-charge.

When a battery is out of power or overcharged, it could damage the cell in it and then gradually decrease the capacity until it can not be charged again. When next time you charge it, the size of it will be getting smaller than it used to be.

However, for fear from profoundly discharging the battery doesn’t mean you can make it charged 24/7, the battery will overheat. The reason is that the battery is still carrying the current when the battery is in charging after fully charged.

For a home-based electronic, it usually has no microcomputers to monitor the status when it is charging like a smartphone protecting the battery by controlling the current going or stopping when it’s full. Therefore, it’s very important to choose a rechargeable product with the charing indicators or the built-in charging protection mechanism.

Or, if you can not tell how much power left with no indicators, you can still identify when to charge the devices with the performance of the products. “Taking rechargeable fans for example, if there were no indicators built-in, you should start charging the device when you find out that the rechargeable fans are running slower than it used to do. Do not charge it when it’s fully stopping spinning”, the QASA mechanic, said.

Fully discharging or over-charging could bring harm to your devices.

Good Habit: Constantly Discharge and Charge

To make the battery work properly, you must act with the appropriate behaviors. One of the acts is to discharge and charge the battery within a particular level regularly, You can grow a behavior of charging the battery when it’s approximately 20% – 25% of power left and of stopping charging when it’s full. By doing so, you can surely have the battery work functionally and last longer. Also, one of the QASA mechanics, added, “Even a device has not been used for 1 to 2 months, you still need to charge at least once within that period.”

*I will strongly suggest you fully charge the batteries every single time due to the “Memory Effect” that could reduce the capacity of some types of batteries in time if they’re not fully charged before being used.

Attach to the electric stabilizers

Unstable power supply and constant blackouts are the daily fares we’ve been dealing with every day, then protecting the devices is an important thing to do for the sake of our money and time on the electronics and repair. Stabilizers have played a significant role in protecting our electronics from the unstable power supply and blackouts.

Therefore, having stabilizers for your electronics could save more of your money and time and also extend the lifespan of each electronic.

Avoid High Temperature or Flame

To get the electronics away from the high temperature and flame is a common sense of using them. The reason is that temperature is one of the factors that will affect the chemicals inside the battery or any electric piece set in devices and which could also cause the malfunctions.

Find the Original Manufacturers

In spite of properly using a device, you could meet some abnormal operating situation, and you might want to fix it yourself or find a repairer you trust to fix it. From the perspective of protecting the right of customers, I would suggest you find the dealers you bought the products from, and they will contact the original manufacturer to repair your devices. If it’s under warranty, you could save some money on that. Instead, once you or the unauthorized repairman fail to repair, you will lose your money, and also the warranty will be canceled.

Always remember to properly charge or uncharge your battery.

To take good care of your device is a legitimate action that can save your money and time on every home appliance and electronics. And thus, now it’s the time to start checking on every one of your home appliances and electronics and growing the good behaviors for lasting their lifespan.

6 tips to Make Your Washing Machine Last Longer

We wear clothes every single day, which means we clean our clothes almost every day, and it also means we need washing machines to work whenever when it comes to washing clothes.

For electronics or any home appliances, it could be easily broken as we use them every day, and it could be even worse if we misuse it. Therefore, if we want to extend the durability of our home appliances and electronics, we not only use them properly but TAKE GOOD CARE of them with the appropriate methods.

In Nigeria, we have two major types in the market, the semi-automatic with 1 or 2 tubs, and the automatic with usually one tub. And as we can see, most models that people have been using are the semi-automatic models. So, this article will be focusing on the maintenance of the semi-automatic models. In spite of that, some of the tips could work for automatic washing machines.

Level the Washing Machine

We all know washing machines will intensely vibrate when it’s in the spin cycle. And if it is not paralleled with the floor or not in the leveled condition, it could probably start to “walk,” and it has a high possibility to damage the machine.

You can use a regulator or a spirit level to help you correctly install your washing machine in a leveled condition and make sure the legs evenly sit on the ground. If you have no any regulators or tools to help you install, you can TEST it by initiating the spin cycle to see if it vibrates too dramatically or even start walking.

Leveling the washing machine to the ground can help it not to “walk” away and bring harm to itself.

2. Do Not Overload or Wash the Improper Items

To properly use a washing machine, the basic idea is not to wash too many clothes and blankets at one time. First, with washing too many pieces at a time, the clothes and blankets can not be thoroughly cleaned, and secondly, it could be harmful to the machine, especially to the motor.

If you put something hard or bulky, that’s bringing the damage to the machine immediately.

3. Leave the Lid Open after Finishing the Washing or Spinning Cycle.

After washing or draining your clothes, there must be water in the tub. If you don’t leave the lid open to let it dry, the bad condition like musty odor and mildew will occur quickly, and it might decrease the cleaning effectiveness.

It’s an important tip that you leave the lid open after the washing task has been over in order to get rid of the musty odor and mildew.

4. Clean the Washing Machine

After each washing task, there must be some residues of soap, dirt, or chemicals in the tubs, and those elements could stain the clothes at the next round of washing tasks. You can use hot water, baking soda, or vinegar, depending on what is handy to get for you to wash out the residues materials.

5. Clean the Filter

The filter could catch a lot of dirty materials, and it’s better to clean them out of the filter so that it can keep the cleaning effectiveness at functional status.

To keep the tubs and the lint filter clean can make sure the clothes will still be clean for the next washing level.

6. Replace the Water Hoes

Check the water hoe annually at least to see if it has a leaking, bulking, or cracking situation. If any problem is found, replace the water hoe at once.

These tips are the basic maintenance methods to last the durability of washing machines longer. The ideas are easy: properly use it, check it regularly, execute some solution to keep it in good condition. However, if you find any issues that you can not define or fix, I would strongly suggest you call a mechanic or the provider to check or repair it for you.

Tips for Rechargeable Fans

A Rechargeable Fan is a lifesaver when there’s no power supply on a hot day.

When it comes to choosing a rechargeable fan, it would make you feel dizzy for there’re so many different brands in the market and each brand always calls themselves the best; and so many more-than-amazing functions for a rechargeable fan that you can’t be sure if you can truly use those functions and even spend your money on it.

In this article, we’d like to introduce some basic features from an aspect that the fans could be used much longer than those have no same features.

Alternative Battery

Of course, a rechargeable fan must have a battery set inside the model. Usually, the capability of a battery will be a major factor that affects the price so it’s better to clarify your purpose on using the rechargeable fans when you choose one. You don’t want to spend too much money on what you don’t need.

For flexible choices, some brands will provide several combinations between fan and battery sets for a variety of using purposes, and the bigger capacity will be with the “bigger” price.

Besides the inside battery setting models, there’s a more convenient model that can be directly connected with solar panels to get the power. With this model, you can use it for different purposes, and it is very convenient when there’s no place for charging the battery.

**QASA Model: QSF-18YOGA provides several battery options.**

The Time of Use

It will be better if the rechargeable fans can last long enough for you going through the night, which is at least 5 – 6 hours at the lowest speed. While sleeping, you don’t want to get interrupted in the middle of your beauty sleep by the heat for the rechargeable fan going out of power, and there’s no way you can find a way for charging, not even the solar power can help you.

Therefore, when you look for a rechargeable fan, you need to open your eyes to check if the model can reach at least 5 – 6 hours of use with the fully charged battery. Some models can even last even longer at the lowest speed.

Dis-/Overcharging Protection

Dis- or overcharging the battery can bring harm to it, sometimes it might cause danger. So, it’s strongly recommended to find one model with the automatic switch or at lease an indicator when the battery is at the low level of capacity or fully charged. This protection protocol can make the life span of the battery longer and safe for your daily household.

The Speed Level Option

We don’t usually call this function as a feature because every model is built with at least 3 options for users to choose whether it’s a rechargeable model or not. However, when it comes to operating with DC power, it will be better if it has 5 options to choose the lowest speed to extend the duration.

If you pay attention to those features when you’re looking for a rechargeable fan, you won’t get yourself a wrong model. However, there are nice-to-have features for your convenience.

LED Light

If there’s a blackout when you’re indoors with the rechargeable fans built with the LED light, it can truly handy for emergency use.

USB Port

You now have a new place to charge your mobile devices with a USB port on a rechargeable fan. Is it not convenient?

Remote Controller

The electric fans are not usually sitting next to you, there’s always a small distance between you and the fan. And with a remote controller in hand, you can lie on the couch or bed to switch the speed level or turn it off when you don’t feel like getting off the bed or couch.

Many households have been using rechargeable fan models more than ones without battery. And many brands have noticed this trend and deliver many models to satisfy the targeted users. Therefore, you might need a simple standard to help you choose the right one for your satisfaction and worth with your money.
