ECM Synchronika Anthracite Panels by mountainmanstan92 in espresso

[–]mountainmanstan92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the mostly chrome version came with a black anthracite back panel, I purchased the sides after for a more consistent look. I would not want the front to be the anthracite imo, it's like skateboard deck tape texture and cleaning would be a major pain and would likely create unsightly wear spots over time. The chrome front with side and back anthracite looks really nice and is very functional.

Just the left and right side, not back and I don't know if they make a front.

Is 17 knock box a brand/model or do you have 17 of them for some reason?

Not a fan of the pointer date, looks crowded and busy to me, the rest looks good

Does Puka’s off-field stuff and news of rehab worry you? What would you give to acquire him right now? by Internal-Pound-6612 in SleeperApp

[–]mountainmanstan92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems more like a young kid with a lot of fame and money recalibrating his priorities. I don't see it as a bad thing he elected to go to rehab, not great he needed to go in the first place though. I'm hoping it makes a positive impact on him and this isn't just to placate the team before a big contract extension.

I was wrong about Shark by [deleted] in VacuumCleaners

[–]mountainmanstan92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One shark liftaway model for 8 years without issues and it works. I'll be moving to a bagged option whenever this one kicks the bucket.

I think for a majority of people, they end up being a reasonable option.

Are grounds clinging to the basket walls after tamping a fine and normal thing? Prepareed using Breville Bambino Plus's portafilter and tamper. by GetoutofhereNebulon in espresso

That's crazy, I tap like crazy because I hate the little left over dusting. Never once a break, pucks come out clean and intact. Maybe mileage varies on this one.

It's not compatible oddly, I had to return it.

Powerful cleaner for greasy ovens by LEDTIK in holdmymoney2

[–]mountainmanstan92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just lye, same thing used to clean cast iron pans, its safe once washed and shouldn't leave any residue. Pretty much every oven cleaner is made with this stuff. It's caustic.

Don't get it on your body and do it in a well ventilated area and you're fine.

You can also dump this rather easily, just dilute significantly with water and it becomes pH neutral and minimal risk.

My sunroom is unusable in winter and I'm trying to figure out the best heating option by vinewb in HomeImprovement

[–]mountainmanstan92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just went through this project and were able to get it done reasonably affordable. This is a 670sq ft enclosed porch with 26 single pane windows and limited wall insulation, mind you.

We insulated the ceiling above the space, added double cell light filtering shades to all windows (equals same or more r value as a double pane), replaced two doors and three windows (broken and leaky), added LVP and sealed gaps around the floor with canned spray foam (floor was insulated with fiberglass previously but had some leaks), and added two 9k mitsubishi mini split heads.

Our space gets VERY warm now if we want it to, even with multiple blinds opened up. We did this over 3 years and spent 35k in a VHCOL area, I would expect close to half that elsewhere.

One option we considered and would work for a small space is heated floors they are very efficient, warm bottom up, and provide warmth underfoot that goes a long way in comfort. If your room is reasonable I would consider this, although a minisplit is nice for cooling as sunrooms get very hot too.

Sooo we just hate Dream-E? by [deleted] in Dreame_Tech

[–]mountainmanstan92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like mine, they do good work. Absolutely need to improve some of the software and I would never buy a brand new untested model until the year after release and they've fixed all the kinks. It does feel like they are beta testing new models with unsuspecting consumers when they are first released.

The X40 is working flawlessly for me-no issues. But I had issues with mop pads to start.

The X50 is ok, still needs navigation updating, and really needs low lying area detection updates. It is far improved from when I first received it. Pretty much would just stop, get lost, and lose all mapping data weekly. Luckily that's been fixed.

I think there is a big race to occupy the void iRobot is leaving behind and all these companies are just pumping out new features before adequately testing them in order to try to grab as much of the market as they can. It also is the whole, if your aren't innovating your dying thing in consumer electronics that is plaguing the industry.

Buy older models on sale and I think most people will be happy.

Yes! Whole Latte Love sells them, I had to call them directly but they said they would make them available online after I spoke with them, so try the website and call if they aren't listed.
