Data notes

Model numbers CP-ANN201HW (white) / CP-ANN201HB (black) per product page. Purchase price $2,599.00 and CUCKOO+ Care Service Package $350.00 both quoted directly on the product page; GST-inclusiveness not stated. Tank capacities: cold 1.0L, hot 1.0L, room-temperature (purified) 0.3L — suitable per Cuckoo's own household-size guidance for larger families. No sparkling output. Model dimensions (W×D×H) not published on the product page — only weight (14.1kg) was given. Filtration: Cuckoo brands its filtration a "Nano Positive Filtration System" (6-stage, 4 physical filters) and does not describe it as RO or UF on the product page, so it is recorded as "other" rather than guessed. Filter stages and replacement intervals ARE published: Sediment Filter (4 months), Pre-Carbon Filter (8 months), Natural Filter (12 months), Nano Positive Filter (12 months) — but no standalone per-filter price is published (see brand notes: Cuckoo states genuine filters are never sold individually online); filter replacement is bundled into the CUCKOO+ Care Service Package priced above, so the `filters` array is left empty rather than inventing a per-filter price. water_source recorded as direct_pipe based on Cuckoo's ACE model installation guidelines (https://www.cuckoo.sg/cuckoo-ace-installation-guidelines) which specify a dedicated faucet hole and drainage-pipe provisioning for Cuckoo water purifiers generally — implying a plumbed mains connection rather than manual refill — but this was not confirmed with XCEL-2-specific installation text. Halal certification claimed ("complies with strict Halal standards and regulations established by JAKIM") but not recorded under `certifications` because JAKIM Halal certification pertains to food-contact/consumption compliance, not a water-filtration performance standard with a testable removal-claim scope as intended by this schema field.
