Cool Down With the Close Comfort Cool Focus
With Singapore’s erratic weather, and frequent summer hot days, having the CLOSE COMFORT Cool Focus in your home could be the next best thing to an air conditioning less the high electric bills with 300W power consumption and installation costs since it is a ready-to-use plug and play device.
We recently reviewed the Cool Focus, and we can understand how this would work for many. It is not an air conditioner that can cool your entire room. It cools you down within a cooling zone. Watch our “I Try and I Share” video to understand what we mean.
The CLOSE COMFORT Cool Focus is priced at S$699. Available online at https://www.closecomfort.com/sg/shop/
