ChatGPT : 

LG has launched LG Subscribe, Singapore’s first home appliances subscription service, with a physical store at Suntec City. Customers can select appliances with no upfront payment, and instead pay a monthly fee over 3, 5, or 7 years. At the end of the contract, you own the product.

What sets LG Subscribe apart:

- Includes extended warranties (up to 7 years)

- Bundles regular maintenance and servicing

- Two care options:

- Self Care: DIY maintenance kits and consumables sent regularly

- LG Careship: In-person professional servicing

- Launch promo: Free 1-year Redmart+ membership (until 30 Sep 2025)

Example: For the LG Objet Tankless Water Purifier WD518AN, LG Subscribe costs more overall than retail, but includes warranty and filter costs, unlike traditional instalment plans.

Bottom line: You pay more, but get peace of mind through servicing and warranty coverage.

Opinion : 

Interesting concept.

It's probably worth a consideration if you're aiming for a real "atas" device.

If not, spoil, throw and replace is still practical? 😋
