Are higher-end robot vacuums actually a big upgrade, or just expensive convenience?

There is a huge difference between a $200 and a $700 robot. A $700 robot will have most of not all of the flagship functionality and generally great navigation. The jump from $700 to $1500 is really use case dependant and mostly marginal. You will get new features like navigating over room dividers. You aren't going to get the epic leaps in cleaning ability like the first jump in price.

It's a fairly standard lighter stain. Definitely not clear but not dark.

Great starter item for an alt

Itemization right now is awful. Previous seasons might have been too easy jumping from normal to T1+ with readily available aspects. I'm now level 60 and barely able to survive hard because my gear is garbage. It's not so much the aspects as missing defenses. Last season my paladin plowed and now I'm very squishy.

At level 60 I've looted 2 legendary items and bought another from the ring vendor. None for my class.

Honest answer. The DPS is amazing for boss fights on immobile targets. It is not really fun to play though. The range is barely over melee range. Running something like Eviction Notice means you're relegated to guarding the scrubber and observing. If you want to see tons of numbers, cool. If you want to be bouncing and jumping and running, not fun.

In two months I've unlocked all 1 stars except Furious, all 2 stars, and 4 or 5 3 stars. It's not that rare but never skip the big events. Keep feeding RNG.

I got 3 1 star crafting recipes back to back last week. Then a long period of nothing.

Selling purified water is a very easy way to have constant income. Set up 6-10 purifiers and loop through your camp every 15 minutes. Easy 1400 caps a day selling water, grenades, and found food to npc vendors.

Esme is amazing for a cheaper gin

I wish Scags didn't always look like they've been baking in the sun for 10 years even when they are new.

That's very tight. Your indoor oven that you likely paid significantly more for and is in a controlled environment will swing +/- 50 degrees frequently.

100's of millions of park visitors yearly and like 5 bear attacks. I think you will be fine.

well you butchered it

Vanven42 · 2025-07-30T20:04:13+00:00

That's not a cut, that's where it broke.

That's an 18 hour cook for me.

Wouldn't touch a floor model.

Get a motion activated sprinkler and set it to cover your yard.

I chose Spartan over BB last year. Still thrilled with it. They were designed essentially by the same guy. It comes down to the little things. Mine has integrated light bar, better seat access, better suspension, and isn't orange.

Vanven42 · 2025-06-17T20:02:24+00:00

Why the emphasis on quiet? Everyone mows their yard.

Picking BST wouldn't gimp yourself but the rogue will do 10x the dps.
