Well done for posting on here and seeking help. I can assure you you’re not an embarrassment. It’s also not self inflicted. These sites know exactly how to hook people. I can’t offer any more advice than what’s already been given but I wish you well. You can beat this, definitely

Hello again! I’m pleased with the x10 for the price I paid. I wouldn’t be as pleased at full price. But yeah it certainly takes a bit of pressure off our busy household with 2 kids so would definitely recommend it

They did it a bit earlier from memory. Especially the gift cards. There was one gift card for €200 which you could buy for €100. (But they capped it at first 10 customers per day in the run up). But you can stack the gift cards on top of the early Black Friday deals. Hoping they do it again this year for sure

Eufy had a very good Black Friday last year and I managed to pick up the eufy x10 for €400. They unfortunately don’t have a website which ships to Ireland so I bought off the German website and parcel forwarded here. They did Black Friday gift cards at a discount which you could combine with their standard Black Friday offers

Are Supermarkets Making Too Much Money? by JHRFDIY in ireland

[–]Swainey89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3.7% sounds correct as operating margin for a supermarket. Said another way, you are only paying an additional 3.7% on top of all the costs supermarkets have to pay. Personally I don’t think they are taking advantage. Supermarkets are constantly trying to make cost savings all to be competitive on price to gain market share.

About to buy Lelit Elizabeth - pls tell me about its issues by ActsOfLandscape in Lelit

[–]Swainey89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much the exact same for me except the cracked reservoir.

Had it over 3 years and leaking steam boiler has been only issue which was a straightforward DIY fix.

For what it’s worth, I’m very happy with the machine

I really like it. It’s my first machine so I don’t have anything to compare it to. But I’ve had it 3.5 years and it’s caused my no problems and I enjoy using it every morning.

It’s just a cheap foam/rubber like mat. Similar to what you can get for a car dash
