2024 in Review: The Top Home and Kitchen Appliance Trends That Shaped the Year
Energy-Efficient Appliances: 2024's Must-Haves
With Singapore's enhanced NEA Climate Vouchers rolled out in April 2024, consumers have been making a beeline for appliances that offer energy efficiency, and it's no surprise why! The incentive has pushed many to seek out appliances that can save both energy and money in the long run. Popular choices include 3-tick fridges, 4-tick washer dryers, and the ever-popular 5-tick system air conditioners. What’s even more surprising? Ceiling fans with DC motors are now making waves, replacing the older AC motor models that many have stuck with for years. This shift in consumer preference has prompted several brands to bring wall fans with DC motors to the market, offering even more options for energy-efficient cooling solutions. It’s safe to say that energy efficiency is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.
The Robot Mop Vacuum Revolution
One of the most exciting trends in home appliances in 2024 has been the rise of smart robot vacuum cleaners, and we’re not talking about your ordinary models—these are the ones you can control right from your mobile app! Here at Mega Discount Store, we’ve received countless inquiries about the Dreame Robot Mop Vacuum Cleaners, and it's easy to see why. Dreame launched several new models this year, all of which have garnered rave reviews. These innovative robots don’t just navigate your home with precision—they also offer cutting-edge technology that makes cleaning effortless. The Dreame Master Series takes it a step further, features a built-in hookup kit that automatically flushes in clean water and disposes of dirty water, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
With these smart robots, tidying up your home is as simple as pressing a button. They’re truly a game-changer for anyone who wants to skip the hassle of cleaning.
We’re thrilled to see what Dreame has in store for 2025—we’re expecting even more advanced models and features!

Fan Favorites: What Consumers loved in 2024
It’s not just the latest tech and smart appliances that are making waves—there are some real gems that have continued to shine in 2024. For example, the Dreame Glory Hair Dryer is a crowd favorite at just $179, offering a powerful airflow that dries hair in no time. With its 345g light weight and a unique Essence Nozzle Set ($29.90) that adds a beautiful fragrance to your hair, this product is a must-have in many homes.
Also, Beko’s DA7011PA 7kg Vented Dryer is one of the most affordable dryers on the market, and yet, it comes with 15 programs to fit all drying needs. Features like child lock and filter cleaning indicators make it a great choice for families.
And who could forget the Samsung The Frame Series? The LS03B was loved by many in early 2024, and while it has been replaced by the LS03D model, it’s still a huge hit, transforming your TV into an art display when it’s not in use. The matte display absorbs reflections, making it a truly immersive viewing experience.
What’s Coming in 2025?
Looking ahead, 2025 is shaping up to be another exciting year for home appliances. We’re expecting even more energy-efficient models that help consumers save on both electricity and water—something that’s always top of mind for Singaporeans. Additionally, with more BTO flats on the rise, we anticipate more roadshows and bundled appliance packages to make appliance shopping even easier.
