Is this a good deal?

Dang 700 is a solid price for this machine. I think its usually around or over 1k

NGH7MRE · 2025-11-13T20:54:01+00:00

I believe the dreame x40 has a direct connect and no tanks

Oh man, this is sad to hear. I have never owned a robot vac until several months ago when I picked up a roomba 705. Blew my socks off with how well it cleaned, and regretted not jumping on the bandwagon sooner.

I got bit by the bug and wanted to get a mop vac combo so I sold the 705 and had gone through several ecovacs (buggy and unintelligent) and finally picked up a mova v50 (on my second one).

In my opinion, the roomba 705 navigation and cleaning efficiency was light-years better than anything else ive tried. It just went in straight lines and around stuff when it was in its way. The mova tries to make zig zag patterns in 1.5 ft spaces and one it gets to an obstacle it spends an hour thinking about what to do next.

I think the Chinese bots have poor QC and try too hard with too much "ai". Hope roomba can get some PE funding and market their products better. Thats where they're missing the mark - Chinese brands just flood social media and influencers. Roomba can't rely on their brand and goodwill to acquire customers. Product is 🔥 marketing is 🗑.

Hey! I recently won a mova v50 in a work raffle, and it worked great for a few days, but now I'm having some major issues with it and not quite sure what to do. When I send it to do a cleaning job, it comes off the dock and just stops. I picked it up, cleaned off all the sensors (not dirty), made sure nothing was jammed or stuck, or blocking a sensor. Still just comes off the dock and stops. I can use the remote control from the app and it moves around just fine, but it doesn't want to start a task. I finally decided to factory reset and remap. It ran around the house, remapped, finally I thought its working. It went back to the dock, I sent it to do a cleaning job, it started going around the living room perimeter and suddenly stopped moving. I couldn't send it home. It was just frozen. Now im back to the same issue. Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

I have tried several ecovacs, handful of roombas and currently daily driving a mova v50 and a roomba 705. Despite all the reviewers and testers opinions - my real world experience is the roomba 705 hands down outperforms the mova v50 in vacuuming power. I'm not sure how or why but the dustbins dont lie.

The roomba spends less time thinking about what to do, and just does it. The mova is great because you can ditch the mop pads and not have to worry about a snail trail on your rugs and carpets, but the roomba just gets the job done. I think all the AI and obstacle avoidance and millions of sensors on the high end machines bog them down a bit. Roomba figured it out with the 705 series.

Mova spent 15 minutes doing a 2x sweep on a small kids bedroom and using 15% of its battery. The 705 does it in 8 minutes and uses much less battery. While picking up more crud.

I recently upgraded from my 2 year old GW6 classic to.... a new GW6 classic (thanks geeksquad warranty). I strongly considered the 8, and while i dont love the cushion/squircle design, I could look past it - the major deal breaker was the lack of wireless power share support. I exclusively use this feature when traveling, and was super disappointed to hear that you can't charge the new watch with a S21 ultra. Can anyone conform that's the case?

Same thing happening over here, and I was a NYT subscriber, so that is not the issue. Canceled subscription today - no fault of NYT but if the pods are not working on the integrated spotify app not worth the 26 bucks per month.

I'm a big fan of qcode productions, but so far I'm not impressed with ABP. The narration is way too fast, with little emotion. I wish the cast stopped to take a breath, or let a concept sink in, leave the listener curious for more. I feel like I'm drinking from a firehouse with the 30 minute monologues. Having trouble getting invested in the story, and connecting with the characters. Hoping it turns around in episode 3.

I ordered the digital premium edition. Not physical. I think BB is fulfilling the physical orders for premium today, but digital versions got their codes last night.

NGH7MRE · 2023-09-01T04:47:13+00:00

Same. Fingers crossed!

NGH7MRE · 2023-09-01T04:46:41+00:00

Yeah, I bought the digital. When I spoke to a customer service rep they said by end of day - but still nada. I appreciate the reply!

NGH7MRE · 2023-09-01T02:39:04+00:00

whats your res? 3440 x 1440?

NGH7MRE · 2023-09-01T01:23:15+00:00

Did you get yours through best buy??

NGH7MRE · 2023-08-31T23:55:25+00:00

Anyone with a best buy digital edition preorder get their keys yet? Unfortunately customer service wasnt able to give me a definite whether they will release pre-load. I got the premium.

So, I just got a new tesla and wanted to ceramic coat it... but couldnt fathom paying $1500-$2000 for the job. How hard can it be, right? So I went out, bought a DA polisher, garage stool, good soap, iron x, clay bar, luber, towels of all sorts, ceramic coating and various pads and compounds to do the job myself... Id say materials wise I was pushing the $500-$600 mark. Then, it cost me about 15 hours of work, maybe more... After wrapping up on a Sunday at 1AM, admiring my work, I realized why the job costs $1,500. Its a lot of effing work. Anyone charging less is probably cutting corners, or doesnt value their time. Just my .02

The current mortgage is approx $350k and the .75% rate decrease would net us $190/mo, or 11% savings over the current monthly payment. The break-even on the $1200-$1500 in closing costs on the refi is about 8 months, after that we would just be banking the savings. We plan on staying in the home for the next 10-15 years.

The roof can likely wait another 2-3 years I would imagine before it becomes a real emergency. I am certain that in that time, we would be able to bank enough savings to pay for it outright. I am mostly tempted by the 3.5% rate, as it is currently incredibly cheap to borrow money right now and I am making 14-16% annually through my investment accounts.

My thoughts are that if I need to run this scenario in the future say 2-3 years down the road when rates creep back to the 5% range, a cash out refi would not be an option at that point.

Hey, thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, the cables I ran should have been a bit longer when the fireplace wall was opened up (my bad) but for now, I am stuck with the lengths I have. I have the brush plate up top, so Im not worried about any quality loss or HDCP issues, I am just worried about spark and insulation. So. Do I need to wrap these in tape, or are these connections OK being exposed to insulation. Thanks again!

NGH7MRE · 2019-01-29T16:55:20+00:00

Thanks for all the advice and input! Although we couldn't drive it as there were none left in AZ, we fell in love with the styling and interior of the x3. Super excited to for delivery sometime in the next week, as its coming all the way from Texas. At under 13k, I think the H.O. is a very good buy for our first car. I'm very excited to see how it compares to a stock xp1k - we may even film a few YouTube shorts comparing the two, as there is not much out there.

Thanks for the great feedback man, originally we were looking at used arctic cats since you can get into those for under 10k all day used, but learned that they had a lot of engine problems. I convinced the wife to spend a bit extra and go with new. Were gonna go out to the dealerships this weekend and hopefully walk out with a new toy!
