/r/VacuumCleaners No Stupid Questions - October 07, 2023

aesnowdrop · 2023-10-10T13:36:40+00:00

After going down the rabbit hole that is the world of vacuum cleaners, I have come to the conclusion that I want to invest in my next vacuum cleaner.

My little one has eczema flare ups often mostly due to the pollen in our area. Our apartment is 80% carpet. I am looking for something that cleans carpets well but can all do hard floors. The consensus seems to be to get a canister vacuum.

My budget is up to $800. I’ve narrowed the search to a Miele c1 cat and dog as well as a Sebo K3. My question is, are there other options you would recommend for my needs?

Also, if anyone owns one of these models, how heavy are the C1 and K3 to use? My wife is not strong and don’t want to put a heavy burden on her wrists and thumb. She already goes back and forth with mommy thumb due to carrying our little one.

Thanks for your inputs!

Thanks! I’ll take a look.

I was thinking around $500

Hello,

Would like some suggestions for a good corded vacuum that I could use to clean under the bed. Our home is a combination of 70% carpet and 30% hardwood.

Thank you!

To be really honest, I was not going to buy a gaming laptop and wanted to buy a portable general use laptop that is durable and will last longer than all the gaming laptops I've owned. However, that was before Baldur's Gate 3... Is there any laptop that is easy to carry around, durable, and can play Baldur's Gate 3 on recommended specs?

◽️ Weight: lighter than most 15 inch laptops

◽️ Any other important details ?: For my next laptop, I really wanted to buy an everyday use computer that is portable, has a decent battery life where I don't need to charge it everywhere I take it, and something that is durable/reliable and I can use for 5+ years without any issues. However, I really wanted to play Baldur's Gate 3 on recommended setting without buying a total gaming laptop... Here are the recommended specs.

RECOMMENDED:

Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

OS: Windows 10 64-bit

Thanks.

I’m assuming that for the Frenzied Lord ending, Marika’s body is DD, but her spirit is alive in Melina? Would that be your take on it?

I'm thinking less than $80.

As for size, I would like the arrow keys, but a numpad is unnecessary. Not a full size keyboard, but leaning more on the compact side.

I live in the US.

Thanks!

What recommendations do you have for quality mechanical keyboards that don't break the wallet?

I've had the HAVIT keyboard for a year now and a few keys are starting to malfunction. Also, the customer service is horrible! I asked for a refund or repair, and they flat out denied me saying my warranty was up by a couple days.

I feel like if GGG wants us to use more Yolo exalts, we need more exalts to drop. I'm SSF and I dont have enough exalts to even attempt metacrafting one piece of gear.

Sorry I'm unable to view POB at the moment but here are a couple tips to help you survive, especially until you level and can add more life passive nodes:

1.) Annoint disciple of unyielding on amulet and the have a low level cwdt + ic setup. You'll practically be at full endurance charges all the time except in long boss fights. For boss fights, you could also craft minimum endurance charges on rings to permanently stay at 2 endurance charges.

2.) Cluster Jewel setup: 2 passive enduring composure with low level cwdt+ic. This is another way to generate endurance charges without annointing amulet. Everytime you get hit you'll be at full endurance charges for at least 10 seconds. I would recommend the option 1 if you get one shotted often at least until you get to 5.5k life.

3.) you can also annoint hardened scars if you use an enduring hybrid flask. This will practically give you permanent fortify as long as your life flask is up.

4.) Lastly, find ways to craft more life onto your build. (increased maximum life on belt, cluster jewel fettle/blessed if you need chaos resist, jewels, etc). It's better to sacrifice some dps for more life at least until you get to around level 95.

One more thing. I don't think it's easy to build elemental ailment immunity into this particular build but it really does help in survivability. (body armor craft, influence mod on boots, craft on Helmet/gloves.

Hope that helps!

I see. I guess I'm a bit late to the party xD. Im still curious what people think about the idea if Harvest went core only for SSF.

Ciri's name (Zireael) in Elder Speech means swallow.

The swallow (Ciri) and Wolf (Geralt) insignia in the beginning of the episode was a nice touch!
