“Today, we are proud to introduce myFirst Circle 2.0, along with two new devices – a new smartphone myFirst Fone R2 and a new myFirst Frame. myFirst Fone R2 offers an incredibly lightweight design paired with a stunning display while myFirst Frame is an addition that not only enhances children’s digital experiences but also empowers grandparents to effortlessly connect with their grandchildren’s world, fostering meaningful family connections,” said G-Jay Yong, Founder and CEO of myFirst.

“I frequently check in on my daughter to stay connected with her daily activities, whether it’s during lunch, before bedtime, or while I’m working long hours or on overseas business trips. The inspiration behind the Knock-Knock feature comes from my desire to share these moments effortlessly. Now, I can check in, and she responds with delightful updates, like enjoying a bowl of strawberries at home. It’s a simple yet powerful way for us to bridge the distance and feel close, no matter where we are,” said G-Jay Yong, Founder and CEO of myFirst.
It has an intelligent brightness adjustment with a low-power mode that boosts battery life by 30%.

The updated app also features improved location scanning with smart classification, to provide greater safety for children and peace of mind for their parents.
myFirst Circle 2.0 is free and available on Apple AppStore, Google Play and Huawei App Gallery.
For the grandparents at home to keep up with their grandchildren’s activities, myFirst Frame Live (10-inch) and myFirst Frame Doodle (9-inch) enable the former to access the Circles 2.0 app for a personalised feed that enables them to interact with the young ones.

Freshly launched in Singapore last month, the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni (S$1,699) takes the tedium out of cleaning by automating everything from vacuum and mopping to emptying the dustbin, refiling the clean water, and washing/drying the mop pads.
Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni (S$1,699) robot vacuum mop.
I recall my first robot cleaner was the original Roomba iRobot which did one single thing – autonomously vacuum the entire home.
The second robot I bought was an Ecovacs Deebot which could mop in addition to vacuuming.
Both had a basic dock with the sole function of charging the robot.
Many robots later, I’m back to testing out the Ecovacs, this time round an all-singing-all-dancing flagship model – the Deebot X2 Omni.
Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni (S$1,699) robot vacuum mop – freshly unboxed.
Like the flagship models of other brands today, in addition to the robot vacuuming and mopping the floor, the dock is capable of auto-emptying the dustbin, refilling the water container, and washing the mop cloths on the robot.
What is less common that the X2 Omni can do is to wash the mop cloths with hot water, and to dry the mop cloths with hot air after washing.

The Roborock Q Revo offers EVERYTHING that a robot vacuum mop can do on the market today but at an affordable price level – ideal for the user looking for both performance and value-for-money.
The Roborock Q Revo robot vacuum mop retails in Singapore at S$1,299.90 on its official stores on Lazada and Shopee. Purchase during online promotions to enjoy substantial discounts of the RRP. Dog & plant not included.
So robot home cleaners started out as just autonomous vacuum cleaners which do the basic task of being able to cover the entire floor area of wherever it has been put to work – to suck up dust and dirt into the dustbin onboard the robot.
Then a mop cloth was slapped on with a water dispenser to keep the cloth wet, so that the robot could mop the floor surface.
Roborock Q Revo freshly unboxed.
Robot vacuum mops were simple, usually round, devices with a charging dock.
In these early days, some didn’t vacuum too well while others didn’t mop too cleanly, they got easily stuck and many weren’t able to cover the entire floor area properly.
Overtime, these basic performances improved while new features were added, mainly to the dock station.
Their price tags also escalated correspondingly.
Roborock Q Revo with top cover opened and dustbin out. The docking station is to the right.
Today, docking stations can automatically refill the water container onboard the robot, wash the mop cloths, and empty the dustbin onboard during a cleaning session and at the end of it.
The latest trend is the ability of the dock to dry the mop cloth after each mopping session.
I’ve been using the Q Revo from Roborock for a while now – it does ALL of the things described above and does them well – all at a price lower than the arm-and-a-leg that other flagship models on the market today cost.
