This update on my issue with Rustan’s is super delayed already. We got so busy these past few weekends and the typhoons further delayed our trip back to the store.
Anyway, Rustan’s was able to make true its promise and informed us before the 15th that the repaired induction cooker was ready for pick-up. Remember, we gave them only until the 15th to have the repaired unit ready, otherwise, they should change it to other items instead to compensate.
We were only able to pick up the repaired cooker last Saturday. We tested and it worked fine – heating up a pint of water in a matter of seconds.
Rustan’s also agreed to grant us another 1-year warranty for the unit. We asked for a documentation of that extended warranty and at first, Shirley the supervisor just wanted to write it down on a piece of paper. AJ demanded that they at least put it down in a bond paper, typewritten. It took a good 10 minutes for Shirley to produce that piece of paper. If not for me checking her out at her office, she probably wouldn’t be able to produce one at all. And why is that? Because I found her at her office just sitting and it was her superior, the Assistant Manager, who was trying to compose that letter / certification.
We’re really glad it’s over and done with. After more than 1 year, we finally went home with our repaired, good as new induction cooker (forget about the box, it looked so worn out already – what with all the traveling and transfers it has to endure!):
But the question now is – are we still going to use this one? We have a stove-top cooker already and our Saladmaster electric skillet.
Yes, we’re going to sell this one. Induction cookers are actually one of the more energy-efficient appliances you can find today, with energy-to-heat transfer rate of 84%. Compared to gas, they are more safe to use because there’s no open flame. Lastly, they’re easier to clean – no need to worry about those hard stains and grease!
And because this particular one went into so much trouble before finally being declared “fit to work”, we are selling it at almost 70% discount!
Contact me if you’re interested. Guaranteed brand-new parts, with warranty until July 28, 2013.
![[ Long story ahead] 👉 Yesterday evening we checked on GG2 and found that 2 kitties were missing. We don't know where she put them because her area is already fenced to avoid the kitties from wandering off.
Turned out we are now at that stage where the momma cat is transferring her kitties because: (a) the birthing box has gotten too small for them though we put them out of the box already and fenced the area, (b) the area is dirty and OC si GG2, or (c) the area is too exposed and too bright for them.
After looking around with flashlight, we found the 2 kitties under the other plant stand just outside our door, walking at different directions and if not for the flashlight ay baka natapakan ko na 😬 We hurriedly put them back in their original box muna with their other siblings, and placed kraft paper in this potential '2nd home' under the plant stand in case GG2 transfers them again.
True enough, she transferred them back there - at midnight. We woke up this morning at the sound of meowing GG2. She is telling us that her babies want breakfast na so it's time to feed her as well 😂
Now I know why nag lipat bahay sya. Gusto pala nya mas malapit sya sa amin 😜 Isang sigaw or meow meow lang nya, nakasilip na kme sa kanya 😂.
Haaayz, who knew that having a momma cat and newborn kitties would be this stressful - and entertaining 😜

[…] I will let you know how this will end up. The people at Rustan’s have until tomorrow to make good their promise. Update! Rustan’s made good their promise, but we’re still not 100% satisfied. Find out why here. […]
