What local brands to avoid?

[Bumperbee88]

Have been using Prism+ TV for years. Recently, I have just upgraded to The 65" PRO latest model for just S$1,085 after Lazada vochour. My old Prism+ 55" was working fine for 6 years. With 3 years warranty., is attractive compare to others like LG or Sony or Sumsang. The latest PRO looks good so far.

basically any brand CEO buy GCB and those brand always feature chio bus spagetti stripes advert in air con living room type, any common sensical buyer should just watch and decide for themselves lor. for buy, use and can throw stuff aka new norm consumer mindset, ok to go for local brands, no expectations, no disappointment right?

but for that 'experience' tier, am sure the respectable ikea chair can beat any gaming chair any day

Sometimes I want to support local products, but then some of them give such horrible service you just feel so turned off. Recently bought this local brand called Peekapoo diapers, good quality and decent price.

I have been using Xiaomi 65" TV for more than 2 years. bought and shipped from China for about $500+ including shipping. has more features than the "latest Pro" model from Prism+.

Your point being? That you had to wait 2 years to spend double the money to get 2 year old technology? hmmmm
You're right, Prism+ should be avoided!

Prism+ is using Samsung panels for their monitors. Not the high end ones though, but still reasonably sturdy for few years of use before upgrading. For that price, it’s worthy. Paying influencers to market their products? Who don’t do so as a marketing channel? U want to pay top sportsmen or celebrities to market your product and charge a premium for it?

Prism uses cheap low end panel from Samsung.

Scoot buys planes from Airbus
Silkair has planes from Airbus
SIA buys planes from Airbus

For a long haul do you want to fly in a poorly fitted scoot plane or a normal SIA plane?
I think everyone is saying that Prism is Scoot pretending to be SilkAir and selling at SilkAir prices. The point is, other airlines offer cheaper prices AND better planes, than the SilkAir wannabe.

Not sure why Prism thinks they can compare with premium brands like Samsung.

Out of touch with reality as usual.

JA is at least a trained patissier, but don't really care or patronise her either.
She's milking too much of her celebrity fame & hype to sell her bakes rather than the quality itself. There're better alternatives.

Got her milk I will order

I thought.... should suppork local brands? No? LOL

Local brands are only good at using sexy models for marketing. The budget is all spent on marketing and advertising. They do not manufacture the products and are only good at importing products and overhyping them.

Fxxking worthless crap, no one should support buying all these cheaply made garbage at a high price.

Is GP battery local? This is one brand I will avoid like plague. Last time bought 1 jumbo pack, end up many of my electronics/remote controls up lorry due to battery leaks.
