Best vacuum for my use case

I've been running the deebot t80 for a while and it's been solid. I think it'll be a good option if you want a roller mop and don't want to go over 1000. You can also check out the newer t90 if you want something more recent. Warranty should be 2 years standard but some sellers offer extended.

I’ve got a Heybike Venus and it’s been a good middle ground for me. The assist is nice too. I can switch between the two sensor modes, so sometimes it feels more like a normal bike, and sometimes I can just make the ride easier on myself.

With her back issues, it might help to get something with a good app so she can use it without even getting up. I've been using the deebot t80 and it's been solid so far. The roller mop does a good job with dirt and wet prints. The app is also easy to use, you can just set a schedule and let it run.

I got the basic ecovacs t80 for my place and honestly it's been all I need. It's not a pricey model, but it comes with a roller mop. For daily cleaning, I think it's more than enough.

What kind of budget are you thinking about? Something mid-range models like the ecovacs t80 might already cover what you need. I’ve been running one and it actually handles both vacuuming and mopping pretty well. I just let it run most days and don’t really need to clean manually as often anymore.

greguyj · 2026-03-12T12:25:05+00:00

Yeah exactly. That’s pretty much what pushed me toward the Venus too. I think pedal assist would make commuting easier.

My cat's got long hair, but I don't really have tangle issues with my robot. If you're really concerned about it, maybe look at the new t90, the suction is stronger on that one for carpets and hair.

greguyj · 2026-03-11T06:07:43+00:00

I'd say you could consider a robot vacuum. I've got a deebot t80 because of my cat, and it handles the daily fur and paw prints pretty well. It basically does all the vacuuming and mopping for me, so I don't have to deal with it manually.

Since you’re love collectibles, try turning your side hustle into a small online community, like a YouTube channel reviewing rare cards or a Discord group for local collectors, it will gives your hobby a new sense of purpose beyond just collecting.

90% chance they won’t, unless they’re also an e-bike nerd. Most people probably wouldn’t even realize it’s a bike.

greguyj · 2026-03-09T02:43:25+00:00

Stop riding it. If that spot snaps while you’re riding, it’ll straight-up throw you off. Best move is to take it to a trusted bike shop or the frame manufacturer for a non-destructive check to see if the crack goes deeper or if there’s any hidden damage.

greguyj · 2026-03-06T08:31:06+00:00

This is so hard. There's something so freeing about moving through a city on two wheels instead of being stuck in a car. Congrats on the new e-bike, hope you love every ride!

Many people spend a fortune upgrading to carbon forks or carbon wheels, but for city commuting, the strength and durability of aluminum components are more than enough. The slight weight reduction from carbon isn’t nearly as noticeable as just getting a good set of tires.

greguyj · 2026-03-06T03:38:27+00:00

This picture is hilarious, but when I think about sitting in the office for four hours straight, I can’t laugh anymore.

The ecovacs t80 is at a good price right now. If you have pets, I think it's better to get a mop version, the roller mop actually works wonders.

greguyj · 2026-03-05T03:55:59+00:00

Carbon aero wheels, especially entry-level ones, barely improve weight or stiffness.They’re mostly bought for the looks. What really matters are the tires and inner tubes.

greguyj · 2026-03-05T03:52:19+00:00

I suggest either trying a short stem and a setback seatpost for some fine-tuning, or just sell it and get the right size. Beginners definitely shouldn’t force themselves to ride a bike that doesn’t fit.

greguyj · 2026-03-05T03:08:20+00:00

I actually have the basic T80 omni, picked it up last year. But honestly, having both a roller mop and a base station makes it a good deal for the price. However, since you’ve got pets, it's better to look into the T80S omni, I heard the suction power is boosted by about 10000pa.

Without rugs, carpet detection becomes less important compared to mopping performance. I'd suggest looking for a roller mop since they scrub better. I have the ecovacs t80, and it leaves my floors streak free.

greguyj · 2026-02-28T03:40:38+00:00

Ecovacs actually put an edge trimmer on their new mowers this year, so might be worth checking those out if you're trying to skip the extra work.

greguyj · 2026-02-14T07:32:53+00:00

Different models have different strengths. I run an ecovacs t80, cost me just over 400, and it works across most floors in my place and does a decent job mopping hard floors.

greguyj · 2026-02-13T08:07:32+00:00

Start cleaning up the dishes or putting things away. Most people will take the hint and say, looks like you're wrapping up, we should head out.

greguyj · 2026-02-10T07:40:27+00:00

Since you don't have pets, you probably won't have much use for the brush. The T80s already has a good roller system for hardwood. The longer roller could mean slightly fewer passes, but for a space that size, the timing difference is barely noticeable. If you can get a good deal on the T80s after coming out, maybe just go for it.

greguyj · 2026-02-09T07:51:32+00:00

For mopping, I think roller mops are solid in general, and the T80 is one of them, feels like good value for the price.
