bargainwhore on Alienware 38" AW3821DW Ultrawide Curved Gaming Monitor (IPS, 144Hz over DP, G-Sync) $1,777.83 (RRP $2248.99) Delivered @ Dell AU

Great monitor. The nicest IPS I have personally used. Has great control on bleed & glow. Came from a 34" Xiaomi which comparatively felt...

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

OzBragain on Gerni Pressure Washer 3300 $117 Delivered @ Zip Cleaning Supplies

Repairer told me they used to be better - common trend it seems. Glad yours is working well though, great machines when they're doing their...

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...

wintermadness commented on Alienware 38" Curved Gaming Monitor - AW3821DW, $1686.74 Delivered @ Dell AU
Shipping notification received today, should be here tomorrow. Wasn't really in the market for a new monitor but hey, here we are. Thanks...

wintermadness commented on FIIL T1XS TWS Bluetooth 5.0 Earphones & Charging Case US$47.49 (~A$62.55) + Free Priority Shipping @ GeekBuying
I've had the FIIL T1X for a while, really solid for the price and these are apparently even better. Would recommend.

wintermadness commented on Up to $18 off from Market La Ne, Staple, Cartel, AXIL and Mix N Match (eg. Chief Rocker $39.95/kg Shipped) @ Direct Coffee
While trying to order 1kg of Staple's seasonal it's adding 6.99$ for shipping, bringing the total to $43.94 - is this right? Good timing as...

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...

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.

congo on Samsung Galaxy S20+ 128GB Smartphone $969 Delivered (Was $1499) @ Amazon AU

Had a FE, returned it because of the ongoing screen issues, replaced it with this. Plus is much more premium feeling (materials, sound...

wintermadness commented on Wholesale Pricing - 25% off Entire Cart ($15 Flat Rate Express Shipping) @ Mudgee Biscotti
I love ricciarelli so much, that despite making them way too often, I am tempted to order some - it's always nice to try others' goods....

belesci on DeLonghi La Specialista Maestro Espresso Machine EC9665M $1541 + Delivery / $0 C&C @ Good Guys Commercial (Membership Required)

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...

Dealma on DeLonghi La Specialista Maestro Espresso Machine EC9665M $1541 + Delivery / $0 C&C @ Good Guys Commercial (Membership Required)

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

Silverxe on DeLonghi La Specialista Maestro Espresso Machine EC9665M $1541 + Delivery / $0 C&C @ Good Guys Commercial (Membership Required)

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

Absolutely not worth it at any price - I've used $100 Android phones that didn't have these issues. Every single one of these phones I've...

Tatanga on Magimix 4200 XL Food Processor White (7MM18470A) $645 Delivered @ David Jones

The lock is relatively straightforward. You lock the handle in towards the front of the machine, and then the lid locks in with the chute...

IMBI3 on Masterbuilt Gravity Fed Series 560 Digital Charcoal Grill and Smoker $996 @ harveyNorman

Switches seem to be one of the weak-points if you're doing high temp stuff, but I'm yet to experience issues, and they're easy to bypass or...

IMBI3 on Masterbuilt Gravity Fed Series 560 Digital Charcoal Grill and Smoker $996 @ harveyNorman

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...

Bought mine on release from BBQs Galore for the same money. Great units.

footyboy on Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G (6GB RAM, 128GB) $810.35 Delivered @ Digital Store via Kogan

Yep, most likely a hardware fault at this point.

congo on Galaxy S20 FE 5G $899, Google Nest Hub $79, Nest Mini $39, Echo Dot (3G) $34, Echo Dot W Alexa $49, W Alexa/Clock $69 @ JB Hi-Fi

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

usmanhafeez2000 on Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G 128GB (Cosmic Grey) $1249 @ JB Hi-Fi

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

wintermadness commented on Up to $18 off Coffee from Cartel, Staple, Five Senses + Market Lane (eg. FS Crompton Road $39.95/kg Shipped) @ Direct Coffee
Always coming in at the right time! Love me some Cartel!

S20+. Really hard to find a phone that ticks the boxes for what I want. Exynos, so maybe I'll hate it in a week - time will tell. Samsung...

Hashstrid on Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G 128GB $1334.11 + Shipping / C&C @ JB Hi-Fi

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...

I am yet to see a single S20 FE that isn't affected by the touch screen issues. Whether those issues come to life in your general usage is...

Hashstrid on Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G 128GB $1334.11 + Shipping / C&C @ JB Hi-Fi

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

Modesty on Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G (6GB RAM, 128GB, Cloud Mint) $960 Delivered @ BecexTech via Kogan

That's a shame, but I understand the policy - in general, most products will be tested with no fault found and often is a user error. In...
