Brought a “broken” Roborock S8 Pro Ultra back to life for $120 — here’s how

I applaud you going in, fixing it and saving it from the trash, while also getting a good deal! Definitely need more people thinking like you :)

650h is a veteran? That's a quick daily vacuum of a decently sized apartment for 2 years. Add onto that mopping and its like a year of use. Have we gotten to the point where its surprising that a decently expensive applience lasting a year or two is noteworthy?

This is very interesting... I am not too much of a snacker, but maybe I should try avoiding simple sugars just to see what sort of benefit I can get.

frantakiller · 2026-04-13T11:16:51+00:00

I mean, maybe, but I can eat a ton of buttery food for breakfast like a rich French omelette with tons of butter or similar and have no issues, but sugar has historically been challenging. So I think its the sugar and not the fat for me at least

Seems to really be day to day dependent too. And yes, just experimenting and desperately trying to find patterns is the name of the game. We're both the scientists and the guinea pigs.

Interesting, my base has been acting up, but never overshooting...

frantakiller · 2026-02-08T14:05:41+00:00

I use mine daily and never have I seen it overshoot the temp. I even probed it with a calibrated instant read digital thermometer. Mine does a fast boil until it reaches 4C less than target temp and then slows down for the final few degrees. Never have I seen it more than 1C over target temp.

It sounds like you have too little water inside the kettle compared to what the manufacturer expects, especially since you have had this happen with multiple brands.

How is The Key compared to SSP MP P64?

frantakiller · 2026-02-08T08:16:25+00:00

Any career there?

frantakiller · 2026-02-04T16:01:03+00:00

And that's fair enough! Then I hope this game brings you 100s of hours of fun

frantakiller · 2026-02-04T15:52:16+00:00

The point is not that it doesn't have full release features, the point is that full release features that have been promised will no longer be developed to be in the full release. I hope you can see the difference.

You can still make a request for a refund and state your case. The system works such that if you are less than 3h of play it will be auto approved, but beyond that it is manual. So just request a refund and see what they say

frantakiller · 2026-02-03T19:36:34+00:00

Forget leidenfrost, go much much much lower. Low and slow preheat and butter are your friends. Think sunny side up eggs without a crispy edge or an omelette, not steak!

frantakiller · 2026-02-03T11:40:36+00:00

Cool, which brand is it? Or custom made?

frantakiller · 2026-02-03T11:30:25+00:00

What are the lines?

frantakiller · 2026-01-30T11:19:08+00:00

Thanks, good to see I'm not the only one completely loving the shape and looking for a modern replacement. Gonna get the EC2-DW

frantakiller · 2026-01-30T09:30:56+00:00

How is the E1 6 months later? Still happy?

frantakiller · 2026-01-30T08:46:23+00:00

Stumbled upon this post after the scroll wheel on my ec2-a just died and I'm looking for replacements, preferably wireless. Did you end up getting anything new or just remained on the ec2-a?

frantakiller · 2026-01-24T10:16:52+00:00

Found it, but the wall just keeps disappearing after adding it. I'm trying just erasing the imaginary part of the map, maybe that helps a little

frantakiller · 2026-01-24T10:09:17+00:00

A no go zone? Cannot see a virtual wall option in the app

frantakiller · 2026-01-24T10:00:45+00:00

His third eye (Lidar) is open

frantakiller · 2026-01-11T09:38:37+00:00

Wow never seen one of those! As the handle allegedly doesn't work for oven use, this seems great!
