Behappy on BenQ 4K HDR Home Projector TK810 - $1699.98 (RRP $2199.99) Delivered @ Costco Online (Membership Required)

Lamp replacement is an easy DIY job. 15 min work if you're taking it easy. Most manufacturers will supply instructions even.

wintermadness commented on REL Acoustics, HT/1205 12″ 500W Subwoofer $1274 Shipped @ West Coast HiFi
Using a HT1003 in my 2 channel setup, very happy with it. Have always wanted to try stereo subs...

Good enough to risk getting them, but their reputation is bad enough that I'd get them from a trustworthy source. They certainly aren't my...

tunzafun001 on DeLonghi Fully Automatic Magnifica S Coffee Machine ECAM22110B $540 + $10 Postage ($0 with eBay Plus) @ Bing Lee eBay

Fellow repairer, agree with all of this. Delonghi will give you pretty consistent, average coffee - just don't expect anything resembling a...

wintermadness commented on Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra Smartwatch $339.99 Shipped (+ Bonus Charging Cable) @ Mobvoi via Amazon Au
Ticwatch site currently has the same deal, and if you stack it with coupon 'VIPPERKS10' it'll come down to $305.99. Won't be as quick as...

StonedWizard on Inkbird Digital Meat Thermometer - BG-HH1C $10 (RRP $19.98) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ Bunnings

Just checked mine in a cup of boiling water, measured within .3 degrees of my Thermapen.

You'd pay significantly more for anything close to being as good. Great price.

These & Edition XS are meant to measure pretty similarly for anyone not willing to spend this kinda cash. These may be subject to tax at...

Are these sales usually across the stores? Good price!

EQT on [eBay Plus] Xiaomi Mi Curved 34" 144Hz WQHD 21:9 FreeSync Gaming Monitor 1440p Display $479 Delivered @ Gearbite eBay

No idea if they're the same panel, but having seen them side by side, the Xiaomi has much worse smearing and just generally feels much...

Much better monitor. Well worth the extra money.

BoundedRationality on Kenwood Kitchen Machine Chef XL Titanium KVL8300S $567 (Click and Collect Only) @ David Jones

It uses a single sacrificial nylon gear by design, so if the unit is overloaded that's all that breaks. If you overload the Kenwood you're...

snappytom on Kenwood Kitchen Machine Chef XL Titanium KVL8300S $567 (Click and Collect Only) @ David Jones

Less powerful how? Because they're lower wattage? All else being the same, motor wattage is a mostly meaningless comparison. You're also...

jasswolf on [eBay Plus] Xiaomi Mi Curved 34" 144hz WQHD 21:9 FreeSync Gaming Monitor 1440p Display $495.20 Delivered @ Gearbite eBay

In their defence though, they were very, very cheap for the size & resolution they provided - nothing else was even close. But since the...

pinkybrain on [eBay Plus] Xiaomi Mi Curved 34" 144hz WQHD 21:9 FreeSync Gaming Monitor 1440p Display $495.20 Delivered @ Gearbite eBay

Forgot about that one! It only really showed up for me in menus, so it was never too big a deal. Although iirc it would happen constantly...

wintermadness commented on [eBay Plus] Xiaomi Mi Curved 34" 144hz WQHD 21:9 FreeSync Gaming Monitor 1440p Display $495.20 Delivered @ Gearbite eBay
These have horrible smearing, poor viewing angles & often bad backlight bleed. They were great for the crazy prices they were going for a...

Don't know the cheese, but I love that store!

chew_chew on Alienware 34 Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor AW3423DW $1703.56 Delivered @ Dell (Starts 17/5 3pm)

Same boat! Would love a 38" oled - which I believe is rumoured to be in the works. Think I'll wait for them to flesh out any issues with...

greenie4242 on [Android] Free - Network Cell Info & Wifi (Was $2.99) @ Google Play Store

Could be that Android 9 didn't report that info - unsure. My Pixel 6 Pro shows it, as did my S21 Ultra iirc.

Did you even bother check the app? It would've been a lot easier. If you go to the status tab it gives you mobile coverage information,...

bamzero on [Back Order] eufy Smart Lock Touch with Wi-Fi $349 Delivered @ Amazon AU

Did you use their strike plate? I think that may have happened to me a couple of times initially, and installing that fixed it.

Have had one running for about a year and a half. Can't complain. Works well.

They have measurably more sub-bass than most other planars, and any other Hifiman cans that I can recall, including the Arya. They aren't...

RichardL on Breville BCG200BSS The Coffee & Spice Grinder $28 + Delivery ($0 Prime/ $39 Spend) @ Amazon AU /+ Del ($0 with OnePass) @ Catch

There's an option during checkout for it to be packaged into another box for some items. This was the first item I'd seen it for.

fatpizza on [Prime] NetGear Orbi AX4200 RBK752 Tri Band Wi-Fi 6 Mesh System $569 Delivered @ Amazon AU

I'm running the Asus XD6 with a couple of NVidia Shields through the house, no problems at all.

Ordered these at full price a couple of weeks ago, but no regrets, overnight delivery etc. You can get them marginally cheaper than this at...
