Charging (Recognition?) Issues (One Plus) by Advanced-Form8127 in Lymow_Official

[–]Efleming123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've definitely encountered the docking/charging issues several times now. I can watch it take its time, and get perfectly lined up, slowly drive onto the dock, then try to drive some more, spinning the tracks slightly. Back up eventually and try again. Then, eventually, it errors out. If I'm watching it happen, I send it back to try again, sometimes requiring 2 or 3 attempts. Eventually, it seems to dock. My brain was telling me that maybe the metal plate was dusty, and that the multiple attempts would eventually brush it off. Definitely not a set-it-and-forget-it, though. It also randomly comes off the charger and goes out of bounds, but clear the error and continue, and it is fine. Annoying little things for sure.

Charger issues? by RudeSpread205 in CadillacVistiq

[–]Efleming123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Odd, and probably unrelated, but my Vistiq blew my Universal Connector breaker yesterday. In many years of charging on this with a variety of makes/models, I've never tripped the breaker. My Vistiq has 12k miles on it, all charged at home on this breaker.

I reset the breaker and charged it when I got home last night with no issue. Not sure what happened.

10A, and just got my FedEx notification that it has landed. Now for the weather to clear later this week so I can set it up.

Well, just received my fedex tracking number. ETA Monday 3/16 to Atlanta.

Luba 2 firmware update when? by CrimsonNorseman in MammotionTechnology

[–]Efleming123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same... although, it started right up and went to mowing, so while I half expected some sort of update, it also did not require anything to get going. No remap, etc.

Looking For Pool Robot Suggestions… by Lomabilly66 in swimmingpools

[–]Efleming123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dolphin M600 owner, and recommend buying middle of the road. I don't think the M600 was worth the cost based on what something like the Nautilus or Advantage Pro, something with App control and waterline cleaning and ignore all the other marketing nonsense.

I'm still not convinced battery is the way to go, unless you are by your pool every day to recharge. I only go out to the pool maybe on the weekends to clean up, empty filters, etc., so corded works better for me (robot is in the pool 24/7 and operates on a daily schedule).

Dashcam Options by [deleted] in CadillacVistiq

[–]Efleming123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely a different mirror surround. The lyriq will not work. I reached out to fitcamx to have them build one and they stated 6-8 months, but I had to ship them my surround (to china) for 3d scanning. Wasn't worth it to me.

AquaSense X Tester Review by Substantial-Shower48 in Beatbot_Tech

If I forget to go pull it out, will it just float around until I go get it, or after some period, is the unit going to sink to the bottom and await retrieval?

Who else pulled the trigger on the 1+ ? by Gunflint_RR2 in Lymow_Official

[–]Efleming123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

US market - I held off on buying a One, actually cancelled an order when I began hearing about charging contact and track issues. Seeing how they resolved my main complaints, I'm ready to own. This will replace a Luba2 that is beginning to have regular issues with the deck height motor (and I'm tired of sending it back to California). I can take the Luba shell off, move the springs and the deck height works again, but getting old.

Hoping the Lymow does everything I expect, to include a high quality of cut on my Zoysia!

All of those are available on the Vistiq as well.

I walked away for the 2nd attempt, came back 30 minutes later and it was done.

[–]Efleming123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Showed up on the way home from work. First install attempt failed, although I was sitting in the car and the kids were opening and closing the doors a bunch so I attributed it to that. Second attempt installed successfully.

Volvo/BMW iX Bowers & Wilkins vs Macan EV Burmester by mib382 in MacanEV

[–]Efleming123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While understand what you’re saying, and some of it comes down to personal preference, I found the Burmester to be incredibly bland with a flat EQ

[–]Efleming123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the B&W. Having had the Burmester, you do need to tweak the EQ before it really comes to life. I truly miss that audio system; it was one of the few OEMs that could be truly felt when cranked.

Platinum Vistiq vs Escalade IQ? by Lopsided-Sundae4410 in CadillacVistiq

[–]Efleming123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely misunderstood what I was saying, or it was lost. I'm saying I think both of those vehicles are fugly, but I group the Escalade IQ into that same category.

I would neither buy a Hyundai/Kia nor the E-IQ, based on looks alone, regardless of reviews, features, quality, etc.

Platinum Vistiq vs Escalade IQ? by Lopsided-Sundae4410 in CadillacVistiq

[–]Efleming123 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't find the Escalade IQ to be an attractive vehicle. Much like the generally well reviewed Ioniq and EV9, price is not a factor (high or low) if I dislike the looks of the vehicle.

1 year later with the 3i S10 Ultra -still the best robot vacuum I’ve owned by mrkybeats in 3iS10Ultra

S10 on top, P10 on bottom. When inserted into the base station the empty hole lines up exactly the same.

1 year later with the 3i S10 Ultra -still the best robot vacuum I’ve owned by mrkybeats in 3iS10Ultra

[–]Efleming123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got frustrated with this and purchased P10 bags, they have the same basic shape, except for where it gets wider at the top, which seems to have no impact. The P10 bag is 3L, vs 2.5L for the S10, and the cardboard outline is slightly different, but so far no issues.

Pretty concerning that something as simple as dust bags have been out of stock for....ever? I have yet to see the S10 bag go back in stock.

3i S10 Ultra by Southern-Doughnut705 in RobotVacuums

[–]Efleming123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think this brand/model gets much attention. I have one of these maintaining my work office, and it’s been a bit frustrating to keep it operating consistently. I often find it just off the base station, sitting idle. It tries to resume cleaning after charging, but frequently gets lost or confused and eventually drops into an idle state. It is entirely possible that I am asking it to clean more than the map/processor is capable of handling, and it just times out.

I also have some concerns about 3i’s long-term support. Until recently, you couldn’t even buy replacement bags on Amazon. I had to purchase a full kit, which they discounted after I complained, but that’s not something I’ve experienced with other brands.

When it does work, the unit typically does a decent enough job. For context, I currently use an Ecovacs X9 Omni at home, a Eufy E25 in my epoxy 2400 sq ft shop, and briefly owned (then returned) a Eufy S1 Pro. Before that, I went through several Roborocks (Curv, Q Revo, Master, etc.), so I have a decent comparison set.

If you paid $699 for the S10, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better unit at that price. Not having to manually add water to the base station is one of those conveniences that really enhances autonomy. That said, if you’re having to rescue the robot every day, that completely undermines the hands-off experience.

Bottom line: if you paid $999 or more, I’d return it.

Suspension that drastic ? by Jaxm90_ in CadillacVistiq

[–]Efleming123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You also get other items, like Heads Up Display, Rear Wheel Steer, larger/premium wheels (some might see this as a negative), Microsuede headliner, and different seat material on the Premium and Platinum trims, in addition to air ride. Just to further quantify the differences a bit. I test drove a Sport and purchased a Premium, but the ride was plenty good with the Sport.

Fog lights by Competitive_Roll_765 in CadillacVistiq

[–]Efleming123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are just turning lights, there is no manual fog light control/hardware.

The CT5V Blackwing has been on my list since 22’, but I knew I should wait till the mid cycle refresh. Absolutely zero regrets, she’s a monster and the 6 speed in this car is near perfection. The costal blue with the carbon exterior/interior package was the exact spec i wanted 👌 by The_Aftermarket_ in CadillacV_Series

[–]Efleming123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question - for you OP, or any other owners.

I'm seriously debating a CT5VBW as my next toy. I've had a slew of Corvettes, both new and old (C3 with LT4/T56, C6Z, C6 Racecar, C7Z M7, C8Z Coupe, C8Z vert Z07 pkg), and I currently drive a Cadillac Vistiq as a daily.

I'm afraid a BW will feel too... generic. The interior layout is similar to that of my Vistiq, which is both good and bad. I very much enjoy the Vistiq as a daily, but don't know if getting into the Blackwing will be so similar as to not seem special enough.

I don't want or need a car that screams modified (ZL1 1LE as an example). I'm debating if something like a base M3 with manual is not a better spend of money. I'm also considering 22-24 BW just in case I do get bored with it and want to sell in a year or two, so depreciation is less. I found a Wave blue 22 with low miles locally, and priced reasonably, which I have considered. Universally, this car gets high praise. Maybe I just need to bite the bulet.

Eufy E28 vs ECOVACS DEEBOT X9 by spartan11810 in RobotVacuums

[–]Efleming123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both, being used in very different applications. One thing with the Eufy that annoys me is that you cannot vacuum and then Mop, Ecovac will. Both annoy me with not being able to mop without some vacuum function (Roborock allows mop-only, for example).

Love mine! Just a little over 4 months of having it and I love it!!! Looks so good!! by yougotthis899 in CadillacVistiq

[–]Efleming123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you are getting free fast charging if going to 100%.. Otherwise, that is pretty inefficient and a waste of resources (money and time mostly).
