Renewal time for my Dashlane account so figured I'd check out the competition. Bitwarden seems to be the most popular alternative, so gave...

wintermadness commented on Gerni Pressure Washer 3300 $117 Delivered @ Zip Cleaning Supplies
Bought a $700+ Gerni just under 5 yrs ago to replace a 12+ year old Karcher. Worked great for about 4 years, then suddenly stopped pumping...

I've had the FIIL T1X for a while, really solid for the price and these are apparently even better. Would recommend.

While trying to order 1kg of Staple's seasonal it's adding 6.99$ for shipping, bringing the total to $43.94 - is this right? Good timing as...

wintermadness replied to mrtee on Gerni 1810PSI 1500W High Pressure Washer GPW-3300 $128.99 (Was $149) @ Bunnings
Based on the look of it, the Ryobi is just a rebranded Gerni anyway. Same with Stihl. I've got a 15 year old Karcher that's still going...

wintermadness replied to Solrak on Corsair SF750 750 Watt Platinum PSU $239.65 + Delivery (Free with Prime) @ Amazon UK via AU
Good PSU with one caveat - a GPU with high power requirements may be enough to spike the PSU load to a point that the fan will spin up to...

I believe Gerni was taken over by Ozito, and they only sell via Bunnings.

The flip side of that, is that those are more things that can (and often do) go wrong - so while most Breville machines will struggle to...

Very different league to anything Breville or Delonghi make, but fantastic combination!

Why does 15 bar matter though? I understand that its becoming standard, but all espresso machines build only 9 bar during extraction anyway...

Think I've seen people snag them for as low as $150 on clearance. Pretty insane price difference. I feel it might be a marketing strategy...

Yep, most likely a hardware fault at this point.

Touchscreen issues, proximity sensor issues. Wait it out until the issues - that are most likely hardware - are sorted out.

You may not have experienced the issues, but they are there - not everyone's usage will necessarily trigger them. All FEs are affected by...

It's a shame, good phone otherwise. Seems to affect all units, and is seeming more and more likely that it's a hardware fault. I'm sure...

Have to disagree. Avoid the FE until the touch screen issues are sorted.
