Gree's chairwoman Dong Mingzhu realised that the demand for air-conditioners in S'pore was healthy and the pie was big enough for another brand

[mgx-alander]

sry loh i prefer jipun mitsubishi

but then again i got no air con at home

 

[standarture]

Nowadays 154 even do paid advertorials??

154 does a lot of "free" and "paid" advertising lol

Gree aircon not bad actually, it's considered a top-tier aircon brand in china along with Midea and Haier. But for china brand to break in SG market, have to be competitive in price otherwise sinkies will confirm choose Japanese brand,

So with the lucrative pie, will gree stop supplying prism n go own route?

Depends how Gree wants to capture the SG market, they may want to use prism as a proxy to get SG market along with their Gree brand. Right now prism got advantage as a 'sinkie brand'..

Even if Gree stop supplying prism anytime, prism can just go to any other tiong aircon oem as many won't bother to research and just buy based on prism marketing.

 

[tokong]

She’s right
A lot of gian png here
Buy cheap stuff, then faster spoil then regret. Big market here
You know which market outside china is biggest for gree? Laos

You dun want to buy then don't buy lor. People never say you what. So petty and biased. Never read up then say rubbish.

 

[BlackStar00]

Prism = Secretlab
Sama sama type. Overhype their **** by selling OEM stuff for lots of profits.

 

[shadey]

For aircon always speak to technician. Haha.

Yah, they slam Prism+ left right center

 

[jywy2005]

Most of the air con technicians dunno how to service or repair these new brands. My midea spoilt after the aircon man came to service.

Prism Tv some times watch halfway no sound. Need to restart TV. Thought Prism TV is rebranded from Skyworth ? I went to buy thought want to support local brand. Kena cheated.

 

[MageRav3]

Dont think anybody will value a tiong brand over Jap one...

Thanks for sharing!

Have any personal review on the Prism appliances?

Seen mixed reviews on EDMW...feel that a fair number of them are the typical Singapore brand-bashing from those who tend to look down on anything local.





Yes, so far have been using Daikin & Mitsubishi Electric air-cons only in all our homes.

However, if a new but not yet so established disruptor/competitor enters the market, would give them fair consideration.

Please. Prism is nothing more than an OEM rebranding company, aka a middleman. Nothing more. Why go for a middleman instead of some company who actually design or create their own products?

Its like TV. Why buy a middleman (Prism), when you can get an actual manufacturer (like TCL)? Similar pricing, but the former has no value-add, whereas the latter manufactures the product themselves.

Hope our gahmen steps up its check before allowing in... no joke when we live in dense high rise flats.

To be fair, think edmw generally hates middlemen, not sinkie brands.
