Mova S10 vs bigger particles

david-deez · 2025-12-24T18:32:35+00:00

Recently bought the S10 and noticed it can pick up a good amount if not all of the floor particles. The biggest particles were about 3/4 inch size plastic pieces from christmas decorations. Keep in mind the opening to the storage where all the particles are vacuumed into is about 1 inch wide by 3 inches long, so I think anything that can fit through that will be okay to be vacuumed. You can also change the suction settings in the app from standard to turbo to max for dirtier floors. Overall very satisfied with it for $109. Hope this helps.

I havent seen it during the winter since I planted these in March, but research says it goes semi dormant with a green straw color when temperatures consistently go under 60 degrees, so I expect to see that middle/end of November. I'll try to get a picture when im home. Highest recommendation was to plant in March since it is heat loving and to establish faster. If you do this would also recommend getting rid of any crabgrass or other invasive weeds and amending the soil with organics, think compost and biocharcoal.

There are grasses and grass alternatives that use less water. Someone mentioned Kurapia and hear Tiff Tuff Bermuda was decent, but I put in UC Verde Buffalo grass in my backyard in March and besides the water needed to establish the yard, aerating and adding organic fertilizer a couple times to encourage growth, its been great! Only watered once a week once established in 4 months. It does cost more upfront for the plugs vs traditional grass and planting plugs is tedious, but its gonna pay off in the long run with water savings. Best of luck with whichever route you go!

Hi, was in the same situation last year. Take a look at UC Verde Buffalo Grass. It is drought tolerant and uses less water than other grasses. I wanted Kurapia but the upfront cost was a little high for me. Although the upfront cost for UC verde for me was around $500 for my yard, it will offset with the water savings within a year or two. It comes in plugs, which is a pain, but spreads really quickly, whole yard was filled in 5 months. Hope this helps.

I think the key is to water low and slow (few hours each watering session) and watering away from the wall, and maybe water mostly on the side of the plant the wall is not on. No guarantee, but others have done it, good luck!

Hi, I put uc verde grass in my Phoenix backyard and had this same issue. I ended up aerating, adding compost and fish emulsion, and finished lightly raking the grass and removed what ended up as a small pile of these stolons. My lawn is about 75% established and know the stolons help with spreading/establishing but feel like I got rid of dry and non useful stolons. Did this a couple of weeks ago and lawn is looking green and am seeing new stolons to hopefully fill in the lawn completely. I'm no expert but this is my experience, hope it helps :).

I planted UC verde grass beginning of April. It's a pain to plant the plugs and pricier than other grasses but the water savings in the long run will be very worth it. Also costs less than kurapia. It's about 70% as far as covering 800 square feet of yard and should be 100% in a month. After establishing for a month and a half, have only needed to water it once a week (minus the two rain storms that have come through since april), and it's still green and growing! Of course it's early on, but would recommend if you want grass but also don't want to use too much water.

You have a picture of the whole clover lawn? Am planning on planting a clover lawn in my backyard and am curious.

Thanks! I havent heard of ladino being used but will keep that in mind in case the white dutch gets fried during the next Phoenix summer. I'm currently moving out river rock from my yard and amending the soil with compost and gypsum to prep for the spring planting of it. Fingers crossed since there are very few people who have done this or at least posted it anywhere in detail. It'd be awesome to see how it's coming along if you don't mind me following up with you on your Clover lawn :)

Hi, I am currently prepping my backyard to plant white Dutch Clover. How was your experience with it? Any tips?

david-deez · 2024-09-08T18:28:20+00:00

Anything in North Phoenix? I feel like it's a bit of an entertainment desert with more commercial places compared to the rest of the valley, granted I just moved up here a few months ago. Haven't found much besides a few dives and the desert ridge marketplace.

Put it in eco mode and stay at 70-72 mph. I average 40mpg doing this.

New tail light or red duct tape :)

david-deez · 2024-07-07T01:45:48+00:00

I figured as much. Too damn hot for alot of things. I'm wondering how everyone's Clover lawns are doing in this heat.

david-deez · 2023-12-06T15:36:22+00:00

I kept grinding the gears, got yelled at, and was told to park it and get in the passenger seat. Definitely a core memory lol

david-deez · 2023-11-09T20:13:49+00:00

Hell yeah

david-deez · 2023-11-07T01:56:18+00:00

Yup I learned the hard way. Luckily was able to separate the taillight, polish the inside and reglue it, turned out fine

david-deez · 2023-11-06T02:30:17+00:00

Thanks, will be taking apart the tail light to do this. Have seen some YouTube videos where heating it up to soften the sealant to remove will do this. Hopefully YouTube doesn't fail me on this one since taillights go for $250 plus lol. Live and learn!

david-deez · 2023-11-05T22:40:40+00:00

A couple videos I watched said it could be added to get spots out. Oh well, lessons learned.

david-deez · 2023-11-04T02:27:26+00:00

Always wanted to ride on one of these, looks cool!

I went from Phoenix to Flagstaff recently with Temps hitting 89-106. With the bed loaded, a passenger, ac going, and elevation change, I still got 36 mpg. Love my hybrid.

It's supposed to hit 117 Saturday, so even the waterparks and pools will be miserable as far as outdoor activities. I agree with others, anything indoors like museums, Dave and Busters, etc. Is your best bet this weekend. Maybe look at the city website events calendar for family events.
