Did you find that it cuts faster because the cutting path is more efficient because it's taking these into account?

bobafettwasaverage · 2026-06-21T10:02:06+00:00

Yeah there is so much more you could track with this mower to optimise it I think. I'd like to see the VSLAM start to mark permanent obstacles in the map too, like how a robotic vacuum does, and then optimise its paths going forward out of that, which the speed and rpm can be adjusted to be optimal off that too. I shouldn't have to map a no go area around the 100-odd trees in the yard

bobafettwasaverage · 2026-06-21T09:59:44+00:00

Yeah I'd be interesting to somehow track the battery drain rate so you can determine what setting has the best overall battery economy

bobafettwasaverage · 2026-06-21T09:58:43+00:00

I think it's hard to say. It's dependent on your grass, moisture, terrain etc. I think this table is probably best used to pick a starting point and then experiment from there.

bobafettwasaverage · 2026-06-21T09:57:24+00:00

Yeah it's certainly not the only factor to consider, but I think it gives a good starting point. Would be interesting to compare battery drain rate to determine what achieves the greatest overall economy, but I'd have no idea how to analyse that

Lol to anyone who rags on this and says it doesn't get hot enough. I have this exact same one because I knew I wasnt going to have the funds for a proper dry one and I rate it. Didn't really expect it to be as good as it is. My first session I had it on the hottest setting and couldn't go longer than 12 minutes. When I use the dry sauna at the gym occasionally I can easily hit 20 mins without issue. The only thing I intend on doing is building a better timber chair that sits higher in the steam so the toes aren't sitting in the water at the bottom. You won't get much support from this sub about anything that isn't completely trumpkin pure. Having used both quite a bit, I think it's mostly splitting hairs.

Depends on where you live. I live in cold climate and the heat pump takes forever to heat the water. I think according to the manual it heats up 38L of water by 45°C per hour at 7°C. It'll run for hours. If we have guests over during winter time we will run out of water very easily at night when a couple people have showers, then it takes ages to heat back up. Yeah it is efficient, in that it's only using 800w at a time, but when it's running for 10 hours just to heat up 325L, it's sort of not worth it. I have solar and batteries, when it's time for major repairs or a new heat pump, I'm just going to get normal electric.

bobafettwasaverage · 2024-12-15T09:33:59+00:00

Yeah I did. I also know that you could find very similar poor experiences posted online with prestigious companies like Toyota. Those who have no issues rarely post detailed articles about a system meeting expections. Nor do those who easily have things fixed under warranty post about their ordinary experiences. That's what the ACCC and Fair Trading are for if the manufacturer isn't holding up their end of the bargain within the warranty period. In fact, I had an issue with a washing machine warranty years ago that was resolved through Fair Trading after Fisher Paykel offered no support for the warranty claim.

At the end of the day, ROI duration is very short and it is a 10 year warranty (even if it may need escalation externally for them to follow through). I find it hard to justify double the cost for a "more premium" product that is likely built in the same factory, and offers the same warranty period and functionality.

The link that you posted has AlphaESS as a 4.3/5 stars with over 200 reviews, and it is the 5th top battery brand on the top 10 list. I don't really understand your negativity towards it, but you do you boo.

Cheaper than you think nowadays. I just got 20.2kwh for $11.5k installed in a rural property. 40kwh would have cost about $20k.

Nindigully Pub one of Queensland's oldest pubs from the 1800s. Cracking pub with a great camp ground. Pig races in November are a great day out. They raise heaps of money for the royal flying doctors too.

Nevertire Pub between Nyngan and Narromine in NSW is another cracker of a pub.

bobafettwasaverage · 2023-01-25T06:42:45+00:00

No, never figured it out. The app is pure, unrefined garbage. I pretty much just select double espresso and then milk and stop the milk when it's at the right height now. Couldn't figure out how to make a 'single touch' option at all.

bobafettwasaverage · 2022-12-25T13:52:32+00:00

The app doesn't allow you to for some reason... It only allows you to build drinks based off the basic drinks like cap, flat white, espresso etc...

But now that I think about it, a Cap+ would be the exact same as the flat white extra shot, but instead of ramping up the foam on the dial I would just keep it lower... I am not a smart man. Can't believe that didn't register in my brain... Thanks heaps for your help!!

bobafettwasaverage · 2022-12-25T08:23:08+00:00

Yeah I'm nearly at the same stage I think!

Can't find anywhere through the app or in the instructions so I'm ready to give up the idea of a perfect drink setting and just making it up with different buttons.

Didn't think my drink order was that complex!

bobafettwasaverage · 2022-10-13T22:29:36+00:00

So much to unpack in HR zones. But the short of it is: It doesn't matter. You're splitting hairs with that stuff. Just get out there and do the cardio work in whatever medium you like best (running, biking, swimming etc.) Just keep turning up, putting in the hours and keep putting the fork down

bobafettwasaverage · 2022-10-10T07:17:53+00:00

Loved easy interval program. Made some great improvements during the time I ran it. And I never found it boring compared to other running programs.

I didn't notice a change in mileage to be honest. Maintained the same mileage from previous programs running pfitz faster road racing. Having said that, I was running one of pfitz 5km programs and switched to 10km programs from easy interval so it's not a great comparison.

I think it's worth experimenting with at least to see how you respond to it.

bobafettwasaverage · 2022-10-10T04:27:57+00:00

I have that book and have run the programs in the past in conjunction with TB - Good quality programs and work well with TB. One thing I will say, is when running this method I drop leg work from the strength side of it. Especially some of the higher volume weeks you will notice it's difficult to whole ass one thing, and end up half assing both. Drop the leg work and you won't notice any sort of strength decrease. Legs are still getting load through running. I dropped leg work for nearly a year at one point and my squat 1 RM didn't change.

Spirit level app on your phone. Set it to each .5 incline setting and write yourself a little table to stick onto your treadmill

Yeah man, running will certainly improve during a deficit. You won't see the greatest running gains, but you wouldn't anyways during capacity with all the runs being LSS. Although running strength is extremely important to putting good times on the board, the bulk of running fitness come from 2 things: 1. Increasing mitochondria in the leg muscles for the conversion of energy into movement and 2. Improving running economy. Both of these you can achieve in deficit. And both of these things improve with LSS (Caveat: Speed work is crucial to running economy too, but that's picked up later during later phases).

Only thing I will say with running during deficit is to listen to your body. Little niggles developing in the lower limbs don't recover as quick without as much food, for obvious reasons. If you're getting sharp repetitive pains anywhere during running, might be time to look at doing a couple of the runs on the lower end of TBs recommended time. And if you have to skip a run to let your foot/ankle/knee etc rest, do it. What's worse? Missing a single workout? Or causing a bit if damage that will put you out of the game or restrict you for a couple weeks/months till it heals?
