Price is certainly right...

My mum wants one of these, but she's elderly and can't handle anything too heavy. Can anyone recommend a lightweight vac?

Depends what you do with them. You could wreck a brush in a single use.

Yeah I think clothes are something people have a good grasp on. If K-Mart can do a decent quality t-shirt for $10, including overheads and…

Like we used to do in the 80s. Get three mates, throw it on the roof of your car, one arm out each window holding on to it, and keep it…

Price reflecting quality is a reasonable rule of thumb for many markets. It depends how exploitable the target audience is and exactly what…

This one says it's a 5.7 litre. That's the total volume of the pot, and you can fill it to 2/3rds full (there's a max line in the pot) so…

Sous vide function is the biggest one. It's a feature I use very often. Can set an exact temp between 25 and 90. Great for slow poaching.

I got one of these yesterday (lucky for same price) and got an additional $20 off buying through the Amazon app. I've had this exact model…

It's a money thing. Membrane keyboards are very cheap to make, which is why they mostly replaced mechanical keyboards. You can get a name…

I think so. It will make sure you've got the latest driver installed, which is responsible for the power management of the device. There's…

That's odd. I'm on my 4th now (have two more new in box) and have never had that problem. Do you have the "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard…

I much prefer the "Microsoft All In One" keyboard. They stopped making them a couple of years ago and I don't know if anyone has stock…

I dealt with AOL once on a faulty appliance, and decided to never buy anything from them ever again afterwards. Hopefully you have a better…

Can't speak about any machines in particular, but belts are usually quieter and less vibrations than direct drive. The flexibility of the…

If you need to make a small rice, you can do the "pot in pot" method. Use the 8L pot like a double boiler and put a smaller pot inside it…

Thanks that's very helpful. My neighbour has a bullmastiff-x-pitty that destroys balls in no time, maybe these will stick around for a week…

How durable are these?

Oils ain't oils though. These particular Eneloops have a huge number of charge cycles, which is their main strength. From my research…

The one I bought a few years ago instructed not to charge longer than (IIRC) 12 hours... I bought a Nitecore charger to replace it.

I haven't looked in a couple of years, but the answer then was no... I bought a Nitecore and it's fantastic.

Pressure cookers make great rice.

Got a reference to say that it's not safe to scrape it off and eat it? What harmful things does it contain that shouldn't be consumed?

They say that the non-stick stuff is all safe now, but I feel the same way about it. Can't go wrong with stainless. I cook rice in my…

It's big enough to fit a whole chicken, if that puts things into perspective. If you're talking about making a curry or a soup or similar,…

Guitar is a tough instrument to learn, with a very very high drop-out rate. According to Fender 90% of new guitarists give up within 12…

I've had one of these for a few years and it's amazing. The turbo mode is ridiculously bright for such a small torch.

Soy doesn't have gluten in it, soy is just a bean. Soy sauce, a sauce made with soy beans, usually has wheat flour/starch in it.

You're being downvoted for semantics. An "allergy" is a reaction that involves the immune system, whereas your MSG sensitivity that makes…

Klipper is a whole new printer operating system, basically. I don't know what the Sovol is like, but Klipper has features like input…
