I tried Earths Choice tablets in the past and found them pretty mediocre to be honest. Went back to Aldi's power force (the ones in the…

Agreed. This one is pretty weak spray. I bought one a bit over 3 years ago just for light duties and it's barely good at that. Recently it…

You don't have a power point at your house?

To me, this still looks like a bloated SUV rather than a wagon. I'm looking for longer wheelbase, with a more flat back door rather than…

I was talking about your daughter's swift who you said does a lot of km. If her car is only 25k after 5 years, then she doesn't do a lot of…

I was disappointed when the Seal wagon was PHEV, wish it was full EV. Also it's design looks a bit worse IMO than the Seal EV sedan.

Wouldn't her existing job have factored in that fuel expense so lower cash wages to compensate? Or in other words if she didn't have the…

Even if on the long trips the EV works out a little higher due to the fast charging rates, overall it's still far cheaper due to the…

Similar sized EV to charge on a cheap overnight power plan could work out around $4-5 (8c/kW plan).Once it's time to replace the Swift, it…

Go regional, you'll still see EVs everywhere - many have 400-500km ranges now. Still suits majority of people. It would be rare for people…

I wouldn't bother with anything PHEV, just go straight full electric.

Depreciation is still an unknown, although it's improving for EVs and in the long term ICE vehicles depreciate faster if fuel stays…

Don't bother with PHEV....useless range. Just go full BEV. There is an update to the Geely EX5 that looks promising. Hopefully comes to…

Yeah indeed! Were they more expensive back then or something? Also Derwent pencils in the metal tin.

Dentists love this.....more work for them. Great for diabetes too.

Even at $3 that's not cheap. These used to be $3 full price.

Fairy is worse IMO. I hate the chemical fragrance smell. It's too much.

In the past whenever I've used Fairy the fragrance is overpowering. Everything smells like chemicals and I can taste it when using drinking…

Seems expensive, given in the past I've bought wool filled quilts from eBay for similar prices.

UHT eewww

This is a separate way to open the door, all it does is signal to your garage door motor to open. It doesn't interact or interfere at all…

Just need to check the motor itself, perhaps look up the model number. If it has an external remote switch input on the motor (terminals),…

Of course. This simply attaches to the garage door motor in the terminals for 'external remote switch'. Historically this would be a…

Even a friend or family member could give it a go. It's very simple. Most garage motors are compatible, just need to insert the two wires…

If the ultimate goal is to go all electric then don't worry about having remaining gas appliances when choosing an electric hot water…

Standing losses in a tank are very small. Think of the hot water tank like a battery. Reheat it when the power is cheap/free and use it at…

Future hard rubbish when a wheel snaps....

8c/kW overnight, 24c kW during the day if drawing from the grid, otherwise 0c/kW if from solar. Even if you had to charge an EV completely…

Most houses have a driveway, no problem charging outside at all.
