I couldn’t be luckier that I’m living in this day and age. I just can’t fathom living life a hundred years ago when things were done manually. As a stay-at-home mom, I thank technology for the washing machine, microwave oven, refrigerator, rice cooker and of course, the vacuum cleaner. There are some things I prefer bigger - like a bigger TV and refrigerator. However when it comes to things I should carry, I prefer them smaller - like with the vacuum cleaner.

Luckily, there’s a new a Dirt Devil in the market - the Accucharge cordless hand vac and stick vac. This vacuum is easier to handle since there are no cords that could trip you and is also easier to use and store because it isn’t as bulky as ordinary machines are.

What makes the Accucharge different from other cordless vacuums in the market is that this is the first to get Energy Star approval. This means it helps you save money and protect the environment because it’s energy efficient.

Why should I get Dirt Devil Accucharge in the future? It’s smaller. It’s cordless. It’s energy efficient. Takes less time to charge and uses less electricity. Smaller is sometimes indeed better!

Our rice cooker at home is five years old. It’s a simple rice cooker that has an attached cover. I prefer the one we have in the Philippines that has a separate cover. My mother-in-law has a newish Korean rice cooker. It’s actually a rice cooker/pressure cooker/slow cooker in one. It doesn’t take a long time to cook rice here unlike with ordinary machines.

Rice cooker is called “밥솥” (bap sot) in Korean and some of the most famous brands are Cuckoo, Lihom, Kuchen and Bubang. I never expected that rice cooker could be fancy and “high-tech” as some of them are here in Korea. The prices are fancy too!
