Many of us have been spending more time at home since March 2020 \u2013 as we continue to work, learn and enjoy leisurely pursuits under various movement control orders<\/a>. In the new norm, investing in certain home appliances can make your daily routine more efficient, and save you money in the long run.<\/p>\n\n

We take a look at the best money-saving products out there, and see how they can make your life easier.<\/p>\n

1. Microwave oven vs pan and stove<\/h2>\n

With a microwave oven, you can reheat meals and leftovers safely in minutes! Just place your dish on a microwaveable plate<\/a>, bowl <\/a>or container<\/a>, pop it into the microwave, set your timer, and you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n

This saves time compared to cooking with a pan and stove \u2013 where you\u2019ll have to wash dirty pans and additional plates. Unlike the microwave, you also can\u2019t leave the food unattended as you need to ensure it isn\u2019t burnt.<\/p>\n

Using a microwave will not cause a spike in your electricity bill. According to the Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) home energy calculator<\/a>, if you use a 1,500-watt microwave for 30 minutes a day, that would amount to an estimated RM7.12 monthly<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, if you prefer an electric stovetop, cooktop or hob, the TNB calculator estimates<\/a> that you\u2019ll have to pay RM11.87 per month<\/strong> if you use a 2,500-watt electric stovetop for 30 minutes daily. As for gas stove users, you\u2019ll have to order cooking gas on a regular basis, and a 14kg cylinder will cost about RM26.60<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in buying a microwave oven, here are some of the best online deals right now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Multi cooker vs rice cooker<\/h2>\n

These days, a multi cooker can prepare more than just rice. Besides steaming the usual white and brown rice, there are many multi cooker recipes you can try \u2013 such as chicken briyani with saffron cream<\/a> as well as mac & cheese<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These are just some of the dishes that you can make. In addition to steaming, most multi cookers also have different functions such as boil, hot pot, grill and fry. So you can savour a variety of easy-to-cook dishes without having to spend more on multiple appliances. There\u2019s less need for you to fork out more money for an additional hot pot<\/a> (about RM31.90)<\/strong>, grill<\/a> (around RM43.50)<\/strong> or deep fryer<\/a> (about RM39.90)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So if your old rice cooker is no longer functioning, now\u2019s a good time to get a modern multi cooker.<\/p>\n

Estimated electricity consumption charge if you use an 800-watt multi cooker for 30 minutes daily:<\/strong> RM3.80 a month (based on TNB\u2019s home energy calculator).<\/p>\n

(Please take note that the TNB home energy calculator is only a guide for your estimated electricity consumption.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Cordless vacuum cleaner vs broom and dustpan<\/h2>\n

With your family members and housemates staying at home even more, there\u2019s bound to be more dust and dirt on the floor. Affordable cordless vacuum cleaners can save you precious time compared to vacuum cleaners with retractable cords, or a broom and dustpan.<\/p>\n

According to U.S. hotel Comfort Suites University, their staff were able to reduce vacuuming time<\/a> per room from two minutes to one minute<\/strong> when they switched to cordless vacuum instead of the corded ones. They were cleaning 18 x 24 sq. ft. rooms with one or two king-size beds and a sofa bed. So imagine how fast it can be when you\u2019re cleaning your home.<\/p>\n

Instead of sweeping the floor and emptying your dustpan every five minutes, you can use a lightweight cordless vacuum that doesn\u2019t make a lot of noise. There are also no lengthy cords to handle or retract. Additionally, a cordless vacuum is easy to maintain, as you only have to change its dust bag<\/a> about once every two months.<\/p>\n

So you can use the time you\u2019ve saved up to focus on work and side jobs<\/a>, and subsequently, increase your income.<\/p>\n

Estimated electricity consumption if you charge a 700-watt cordless vacuum cleaner for four hours weekly (estimated battery charging time for 30 minutes of usage):<\/strong> RM3.55 a month (based on TNB\u2019s home energy calculator<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Air fryer vs deep frying (wok and stove)<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s a time and money-saving tech that enables you to enjoy fried foods with less fat and oil content. According to a recent Healthline article, you can use an air fryer to prepare timeless favourites such as fried chicken and french fries with little or no oil<\/a>, thus reducing your calorie intake.<\/p>\n

By using this device, you might save a lot on potential medical costs in the future as people who eat lots of fried foods tend to have a higher risk<\/a> of contracting heart disease.<\/p>\n

According to research think tank The Centre<\/a>, treatments for heart disease such as an angiogram<\/a> (X-ray of the blood vessels) or one stent angioplasty<\/a> (a procedure to open narrowed\/blocked blood vessels) in a public hospital would range between RM50 – RM200, whereas in a private hospital, it will range in between RM15,000 to RM45,000.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, a coronary bypass <\/a>(a procedure that restores blood flow to the heart muscle) in public hospitals would cost RM4000; comparatively in private hospitals it will range between RM25,000 to RM80,000.<\/p>\n

As you can see, heart surgeries aren\u2019t cheap. So it\u2019s highly recommended that you take all the necessary precautions to prevent future health complications. Try using an air fryer and only indulge in fried foods moderately.<\/p>\n

Estimated electricity consumption if you use a 1500-watt air fryer for 30 minutes daily:<\/strong> RM7.12 a month (based on TNB\u2019s home energy calculator<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Haier 2.5L Digital Air Fryer<\/a><\/td>\nRM229.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

5. Blender vs mortar and pestle<\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t have to dig deep into your wallet to prepare convenient, nutritious smoothies or seasonings that spice up your meals. For instance, you can make your own sambal paste without adding preservatives. Putting the ingredients in a blender to make a paste is more convenient than using a mortar and pestle.<\/p>\n

Besides sambal and other seasonings, you can also prepare delicious, nutritious, time-saving smoothies with your blender. All you have to do is add fruits, vegetables, milk and other ingredients into the device, and then blend away.<\/p>\n

Estimated electricity consumption charge if you use a 250-watt blender for 30 minutes daily:<\/strong> RM1.19 a month (based on TNB\u2019s home energy calculator<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Appliance<\/strong><\/td>\nPrice (as of March 4)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
