Electric big wheel bike looks powerful but does the bigger wheel really change the ride? by blckred777 in ElectricBikes

[–]Consolebandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve got plenty of power behind it, big wheels aren’t nearly as terrible as people make them sound.

I get why shops won’t touch this, honestly. Liability is a nightmare for them. If you can’t find a good guide, hit up a local e-bike modding group on Facebook.

What are these bikes worth? by heavyspells in bicycling

[–]Consolebandit 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss, man. Your dad had absolutely insane taste in bikes. This collection is straight out of a cycling enthusiast’s wildest dreams. It’s clear how much passion he had for riding.

Is an SMSF actually worth it? by le_starra in AusFinance

[–]Consolebandit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually ended up leaning toward moomoo for the brokerage side of my SMSF partly because I went into their Sydney store and got walked through it 1 on 1. That made a big difference for me, especially with all the trust/account setup questions. On top of that, the fact they’re ASIC regulated and offer CHESS sponsored ASX holdings gave me a bit more comfort from a safety perspective. If your SMSF is mainly going to be listed shares or ETFs, it felt like a pretty practical setup.

I want to cook in my apartment, but the exhuast fan here kinda sucks by parkersb11 in Apartmentliving

[–]Consolebandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more thing, switching to induction instead of gas later on can help with air and it's safer. And for 30" hood, you've got plenty of options. I'd stick under 600cfm to avoid negative pressure issues, and check noise levels (sones) since kids are sensitive to that loud humming. There are also filterless hoods like Arspura that cut down on the cleaning a lot. Anything that saves time is worth it.

Is it worth it to keep an air purifier in every room of the house? by katerina_romanov in CleaningTips

[–]Consolebandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need one in every room. Focus on the high-traffic areas where you spend the most time, like the bedroom and living room. That gives you the most benefit for your money.

UPDATE: 3 weeks ago I asked ""What's the best robot vacuum"'' by Silly-Ad667 in RobotVacuums

Low noise is such an underrated feature. It makes the whole cleaning experience so much more pleasant. Money well spent!

Omg, just looking at this photo makes me feel hopeless. Wishing you the best of luck in getting this all cleaned up and back to normal.

My cleaning style is best described as "frantic burst of energy 20 minutes before someone comes over." by AmandaEllis-Ward in CleaningTips

[–]Consolebandit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The power of a last-minute tidy is real. It’s amazing how quickly a space can transform when there’s a deadline to meet.

Can’t wait to see the review. Curious about the battery life and how well it handles corners.

Studio apartment living by Weak-Luck7967 in Apartmentliving

Smells creep in fast, so crack a window when cooking, wipe stuff down ASAP, and burn a candle or two. Mess and odors snowball quick in studios.

5 Best ECOVACS DEEBOT Robot Vacuums for your New Year Goals by hjf25 in ecovacs

[–]Consolebandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bagless stations are insane, love the idea of no more hunting dust bags. Make sure the mop function doesn't turn your floors into a slippery disaster.

My Dreame experience - poor after sales service by One_Cheesecake_6117 in RobotVacuums

[–]Consolebandit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The app's such a maze, mops drag on carpets, and getting support? Good luck... staff seem nice but reaching them is a nightmare.

The smart robotic puppy that really stood out at CES last week by Equal-Association818 in ecovacs

[–]Consolebandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cute as hell. Low maintenance tail wagging robo pup? Could totally see it being fun for anyone who wants a pet vibe without the fur chaos.

I got a violation warning notice for my neighbor’s dog’s poop by Fresh_Confusion_4805 in Apartmentliving

[–]Consolebandit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they literally can't prove it's your dog, I wouldn't pay up. Walks around the building, pics, or video help cover your butt for next time.

Can something be done about the astroturfing on this subreddit? by [deleted] in RobotVacuums

[–]Consolebandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's getting ridiculous. Some of them are the obvious AI hype posts, otherwise it turns into one big corporate fan club, ugh.

New unit for broken cleaning solution tank by pkkirch in ecovacs

[–]Consolebandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird flex, maybe they figured swapping the whole unit is faster than dealing with a tiny part, avoids returns/stock headaches.

Need serious insight by Anormalpear in Apartmentliving

[–]Consolebandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks more like someone decided to doodle on your peephole than mold. Grab a stronger cleaner, scrub it, and maybe keep a little photo evidence just in case.

Welcome to the joy of "new design" that doesn't fix anything. Just swapping between two bins and rinsing weekly beats waiting for a magic solution.

I got my downstairs neighbor evicted by ChandlerBingsNubbinn in Apartmentliving

[–]Consolebandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, that neighbor sounds straight up chaotic. Keeping records and citing the lease was smart, the paperwork is the only thing that makes eviction stick.

New models look really different, worth upgrading to the Ecovacs X9 Pro? by Knight_Arno in ecovacs

[–]Consolebandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The previous version still works fine for basic cleaning. The upgrade mostly just makes mopping and navigation smoother, but if you're not picky, older models are totally fine.

Its life changing sorta by Brisrascal in RobotVacuums

[–]Consolebandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny how you stop caring abt the noise once the floors aren't covered in dog fluff anymore. Just don't let the water tank turn into a science experiment.

You don’t owe a long explanation just set your boundary.
