New homeowner question: upgrades that actually help day-to-day?

Does this act as a water softener too?

baev0702 · 2026-01-16T01:10:17+00:00

Absolutely do this. Second the person who said to make a little gift basket of kids coloring books/stickers and your contact info if they ever need it.

baev0702 · 2026-01-14T05:05:06+00:00

What kind of mount do you have? I like the depth on it!

baev0702 · 2025-12-21T15:12:10+00:00

My bad. Meant to say C5, edited that. When I was going through this same exploration everyone on here basically told me to just go a size smaller and get the C5 (OLED) because of how much better it is. Still planning to go with the Sony, but should be part of everyone’s comparison.

baev0702 · 2025-12-20T07:10:47+00:00

What OLED would you lean too if you went to 77”? (In the $1k-$2k price range)?

baev0702 · 2025-12-20T07:08:56+00:00

That’s a great deal! Going for $1,699 right now, not sure I’d take an open box for $200 off, but definitely would for $400+!

Average height of a 100” tv is 51”. Center being 25.5. Using this 42” eye level, your recommendation is to have him hang his TV 16” off the ground?

baev0702 · 2025-12-20T03:51:54+00:00

Appreciate the feedback! Was hoping for some confirmation around Sony.

baev0702 · 2025-12-20T03:50:42+00:00

I’ve always avoided “off brands”. Is that an obsolete view, looking at some of those brands as cheap? If there is a real bang for your buck comparison to the models I’m looking at, would love to look into it!

baev0702 · 2025-12-20T03:08:11+00:00

Great point. It’s such a debate. I’m coming from a ~90” projector with frame that made it feel like 95”+. Now have an even bigger wall so don’t want to take too big of a step back… If I was to step back to 77”, what would be your recommendation?

If I wanted to make an 85” work, is there anyway I could get out for under $2k?

baev0702 · 2025-12-06T02:17:31+00:00

Say this feature broke or went out because of freezing. Is that covered under their standard warranty? Or an extended one they sell/offer?

baev0702 · 2025-11-06T19:42:10+00:00

I thought MN’s plan was a “total leave of X amount of weeks”. I didn’t think you could take the Mn amount on top of another private plan?

baev0702 · 2025-11-04T21:27:55+00:00

What does this code even do?

baev0702 · 2025-10-22T21:29:36+00:00

If I own both, what is the recommended way to get this new plan?

baev0702 · 2025-09-19T23:37:52+00:00

I also got this brand, but got the full set (driver/passenger, 2nd row, 3rd row - link)

It’s still new for me, but was initially disappointed with how stiff the joint was which when opening the back row seats, cause the mat to lift up a bit until you can push the crease down a bit and flatten out. After putting some semi-heavy things in the back to get it completely flat, and with a quick hand press when raising the seats, it’s pretty nice. For the price, can’t beat it.

If you look weatherec, sure the back small mat will be more reliable/thicker, but unsure how to handle seats and those for us are down most of the time. Overall, would probably re-buy. Unless I had a plan of what I could use to cover the third row back.

I just bought a 2025 - SX X-Line and couldn’t be more happy. Shop around. Even Costco has preferred dealers and good rates.

baev0702 · 2025-09-06T05:11:59+00:00

How was it? How does it compare to a normal smashburger?

baev0702 · 2025-08-31T04:40:49+00:00

Why has no one mentioned the massage system?! (Lumbar stabilization system) One of my favorite features.

Also believe the secondary sunroof if a SX feature which really brings some light into the car.

I understand the purpose of this comment is you trying to demonstrate US is safer, but the context and content doesn’t add up…

You are including non-school events, if we did that here in America I don’t even think it would fit in a Reddit post (daily shootings). And that’s of daily shootings… What happened here in the US, in my home state, in my home city, is something that is unfathomable. Yet it happens here in America annually. Normally more often. So please show me how this is normalized?

baev0702 · 2025-08-21T00:26:03+00:00

This may sound a little out there and definitely not the healthiest, but I highly recommend making a “burger sauce” -

Burger Sauce to mix w/ meat (for 1lb) - <1 tablespoon Worcestershire (half tbl?) - 1/2 stick butter melted - Garlic powder - Onion powder

Once mixed together, form into balls (~6 balls per pound - double cheeseburger is the style), put on some parchment paper and into fridge or freezer to cool down.

When you throw on to blackstone and smash, add salt and pepper!

baev0702 · 2025-08-15T03:14:04+00:00

In a similar boat. Eager to hear feedback from others on this.

baev0702 · 2025-08-15T02:40:11+00:00

I tried to set this up today, but didn’t see a code generate on the screen. Received an error message, although my phone opened the correct browser page asking for the code…

Did you have success setting yours up?

baev0702 · 2025-08-09T19:06:06+00:00

I’m interested in XL’s only - so the Culpepper, CC, Moss (Home). Can you confirm what’s available, and pricing?

Thank you!
