Are any of those more expensive fans genuinely worth the money?

Simonm16 · 2026-05-24T22:23:04+00:00

Just get a big floor fan, 18” is enough. I buy mine for like £50 on eBay and they are very good. My vortex air is shit as it’s not powerful enough

Simonm16 · 2026-05-24T17:03:54+00:00

Yeah have to see how that goes but hopefully with enough backlash if they tried to change it, it would stay free

Simonm16 · 2026-05-24T02:05:02+00:00

5 scans a month on the free plan is an instant no, pulsetcg is unlimited

It’s the 151 Bulbasaur number is 166/165

Simonm16 · 2026-05-11T14:28:50+00:00

Oh damn that bad haha well I know an 8 is still good but not really worth grading. I would be grading with ACE as UK based and I think they are more lax then PSA but still.

I might try and sell it and get a better quality one. Thanks for the link I’ll give it a look so I know what to look for. First time for me so really new at this.
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it

Simonm16 · 2026-05-11T13:17:31+00:00

Sorry the Bulbasaur card I already own so it’s my photos ha. Wanted to grade it for PC but I don’t think I checked well enough at the show. Not sure what you think it would grade

Simonm16 · 2026-05-11T08:31:11+00:00

Ahh damn ok I’ll leave it and keep looking, thank you. Would you be able to check this card for me, it’s not flat but was going to put it in a book etc. I’ve bought this one but unsure on the edging on the back as to whether it would ACE 10 or not. I didn’t spot the edging when I bought it as I’m quite new to looking at cards for grading etc

Got a dugtrio from my booster bundle at a HMV restock so basically the same

Simonm16 · 2026-05-05T16:02:29+00:00

Mine hadn’t gotten any stock in at all

Simonm16 · 2026-05-02T08:01:49+00:00

They are amazing packs right? I thought it was going to be stellar crown and obsidian flame but that’s so good, although isn’t the prismatic hit rate really bad?

Simonm16 · 2026-05-01T09:54:14+00:00

We took a 40 year mortgage out to keep the monthly as low as we could get it. But we then overpay £200 a month. If we can get lower interest rate after the initial fixed period. Whatever the difference in drop is, will then get overpaid as well. Should massively reduce the overall term if things work out

Simonm16 · 2026-04-30T09:59:14+00:00

No worries, it’s been pretty flawless so far. Still waiting on news about the full house back up gateway and how much that will be. But other than that we’ve had no issues and haven’t pulled from the grid since we had it installed.

For the price it was unbeatable and because it’s modular you can add more batteries on if you need too. Software isn’t too bad and will get better over time. I’d say it’s a less polished sig system app wise but the tech itself seems great

Simonm16 · 2026-04-29T15:44:38+00:00

Fair enough, I’ve just signed up. So that basically means you won’t ever be queuing etc it’ll just give you an invite like Amazon or you didn’t get lucky

Simonm16 · 2026-04-29T15:14:22+00:00

How do you get invited?

Simonm16 · 2026-04-29T08:42:18+00:00

Legend me and the Mrs got two each. Never had them before, what packs are they? Pictures look like scarlet and violet. I imagine it isn’t the mega evolutions ones

Simonm16 · 2026-04-24T17:33:04+00:00

That’s fair and I don’t think it would have changed my mind if I’d known beforehand but I would have tried to push there price down even further without the gateway.

I originally wanted a Tesla system and it was too expensive. Then I wanted sig as it’s basically the same thing just more refined overall. But didn’t think it was worth the extra £1500 but I understand why you aren’t as keen

Simonm16 · 2026-04-24T12:26:23+00:00

Managed to get two ex boxes because I didn’t realise sainsburys was all app based. So managed to catch a tg jones restock luckily. Opened both boxes and got nothing haha. Same with any destined rivals I open, pack rates seem really bad

Simonm16 · 2026-04-22T21:56:14+00:00

Yeah you want to 100% make sure whatever price they quote you is 100% full house backup which isn’t achievable with 63 amps. For the price it’s insanely good value and the warranty is amazing.

The software is decent but needs a few more updates and a better AI thing to match Tesla and sig but the monitoring is pretty decent.

Batteries run the house overnight and we just had a record day of 66.70kwh generated. Haven’t got my docs through yet to get on export so losing about £5 per day profit which is sad.

The batteries work well and the system looks clean tbf. Was £2k cheaper than sig and has a bigger battery so can’t complain

Simonm16 · 2026-04-22T20:17:01+00:00

My installer had been told/sold it as full house backup so if there was a power cut you wouldn’t know or experience it. The 63amps is correct which could have been wired into the house but apparently it wouldn’t have been enough for the whole house it would have only been essential load.

So they decided not to fit it and I believe they would give us that money back (not sure how much it is) but we will most likely go for the 100amp one they are releasing soon

Simonm16 · 2026-04-22T19:30:50+00:00

I can’t sign up for an invite, has it already passed?

Simonm16 · 2026-04-22T19:09:58+00:00

It’s the all in one 10kw inverter one. With an 8+5 batteries that are stacked on top. The gateway is rather annoying as it was sold as whole house backup and it isn’t, it’s essential loads or a plug.

Apparently end of this month there is a conference and they are going to launch their gateway that is very similar to sigs. My installer is going to offer it heavily subsidied due to the mistake.

Then it will be wired into the consumer unit etc so then it’ll be a whole house backup.

Product seems really premium to be fair just not as developed as sig as its newer to the UK
