    Am I Being Ripped Off-Root Canal Charges?

    My dad got a root canal done in Manipal hospital. I think he paid some 6-7K for the procedure. I don't think it's cheating. Th cost is high but they have eqpt to give you x-rays on the spot. This means not having to wait for the x-ray to develop and come in for a consult a 2nd time. Plus, he was...

    cfl bulbs , are they real money savers

    I agree to a CFL not being an option to a tubelight. Nothing beats the throw and consistency of light that a tube has. A single CFL does not have the power to light up an entire room. Two CFLs (or an array of CFLs) can light up a room or a large space but some areas remain dark. I have found...

    Nokia for mom

    I had to decide among the 2700 classic the 2730 classic and the 5130XM for my mom. I ended up getting the 5130XM due to the better keypad. Apart from the keypad, I found it hard to stomach the 5130XM's looks too. But, the keypad is nice. Since you already have an XM, you can think about...

    Require camera for medical records, budget 6-10K

    I required a camera for my wife who is a dermatologist. In her line of work, she has to record skin profiles for patients "before" and "after" treatment. I've basically no idea on what kind of camera to get for such a purpose. She is not tech savvy, so the camera should be simple to operate...

    Car & Bike i10 Magna or Ford Figo ZXi

    I find the i10 too cramped for a city drive itself...and I have a zen. An i20 would probably be a better choice. Hyundai cars, in my opinion have lovely soft suspension, good NVH(i.e. less noise in cabin), are more VFM and come backed up with a good service network. The only issue is to me is...

    The wet shaving thread

    I can't tell the difference. I've purchased both Mach 3 and Mach 3 Turbo and the Turbo seems like a gimmick to me. Shaving after a bath or a shower can give you a wonderfully smooth shave. Even old blades work much better(though I would recommend that you replace your blade if it's old as the...

    Critical questions on AC

    Well to me, quality is tangible even in an A/C. I like the lower noise level on my AC for the duration I'm using it and I don't have a clue as to what my usage would be. I'm just trying to playing safe with a 5 star AC from a supposedly better company :ashamed:. I'm not sure about the weather...

    Car & Bike Car Under 5L

    I'm no expert on cars but let me share my thoughts. I think if one asks the question, what hatchback car is desirable, keeping aside the niggles and problems of owning one, the "heart over head" answer would be the Punto. The good handling and looks appeal to many. But clearly, after seeing so...

    Critical questions on AC

    IMO, an inverter AC is an AC with a variable speed compressor. A regular AC runs the compressor at a fixed speed for a duration depending on the temperature you've set to cool the room. Lower temp. means, the fixed speed compressor, will run for longer to cool the room. An inverter AC will run...

    Critical questions on AC

    Folks, thank you all for your sharing your experience with ACs installed and your replies. I've gone in for a Hitachi 1.5 Ton FollowMe @ 37,850/- from Unilet. This includes installation and a 4 kVA VG400 V-Guard stabilizer. Unilet had the best price for Hitachi ACs where I looked. I did not go...

    Critical questions on AC

    Actually, I'm just doing research. It might help others on the forum. You are right from the pt. of view that it does not make sense to go in for the costliest unit from a foreign brand esp. in Bangalore. I realized this when I received the quote for the Toshiba AC (I will post details on this...

    Critical questions on AC

    A quote for Daikin 1.5 ton ACs I received is as follows 1.5 Ton, E Series (3 Star) - Rs 33,800/- 1.5 Ton, G Series (5 Star) - Rs 39,680/- 1.5 Ton, Inverter - Rs Rs 44,100/- - I was told that stablizer + installation would cost around 5-6K. - I was also told that there is a 1 month...
