fookos commented on LG OLED77CXPTA 77” 4K Smart OLED TV for $6,050 + Delivery ($0 to Select Areas) @ Applicance Central
Nice, if I hadn't purchased the CX 65" two or three months ago, I would probably have bitten on this. Still a lot of coin compared with LED...

I can second the Niche. I went from an SCP to the Niche in January and that first double shot - massive difference in flavour :) I really...

fookos replied to ValouSydney on Breville BES920BSS The Dual Boiler Espresso Machine $849 + Delivery @ The Good Guys eBay
If you're reasonably new to home espresso and you're considering those two machinges you probably can't go past the Breville as a solid...

With a PID fitted, the steam pressure on the Gaggia is excellent as you can independently set the steam temp cutoff. Even without doing...

If anything, James' review (while personal opinion) confirmed to me that my Gaggia Classic with PID is a cracking machine for the money....

I purchased too. What’s a great whole grain type bread mix?

I might have purchased this, but my meeting ran over and appears to now be out of stock! Out of interest, is there a specific bread mix you...

fookos replied to Ikitasa on Breville BES920BSS The Dual Boiler Espresso Machine $849 + Delivery @ The Good Guys eBay
It's a very nice machine. If you're looking to spend around $3K, there are a number of equally enticing options to compare it with. Don't...

Current model of Gaggia Classic is excellent. The Silvia is a well-made machine but overpriced for the feature set. Also has a relatively...

I went from a Breville Smart grinder pro to a Niche Zero. Can highly recommend the Niche, but they appear to be near impossible to source...

Nice to see an improvement in pricing again, after last year's shift away from discounting due to stock shortages. This machine certainly...

Hey Mahalo, what technique did you use to to drill a larger hole? I'm in the same situation, and it ain't easy to use a hole saw second...

Agree with the above. I've had no connectivity issues with an iPhone 11. If you look at alternatives to these, in known brands, you won't...

fookos commented on DampRid Moisture Absorber Super Refill 3.4 kg, Fragrance Free $10.50 (Was $17.50) + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $39 Spend) @ Amazon
Now, you have me thinking how I could find value in such a product for my needs! Heh.

fookos replied to biznes on Beats Powerbeats Pro Totally Wireless Earphones (Moss) $199 (Was $249) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
Same here - I scored mine at the $99 price. They're a good buy at $99, but not out of the realm of goodness at $199 if you have an iPhone...

The 45-pack is roughly the same price per roll if you’re after a slightly larger stash. Of course, wipe responsibly and purchase only...

Lets wait and see what Evostar reports back after they receive their module and try it with this T-lock.

fookos replied to Evostar on [eBay Plus] Lockwood T-Lock Digital Smart Deadbolt Lock $109.65 Delivered @ Sellit1212 eBay
Let us know how you go. Sounds like it should work, but doubles the cost paid for the lock. Not as good a deal out of the box as we thought.

fookos replied to Demronick on LG BX 55" 4K OLED TV (OLED55BXPTA) $1995, 65" (OLED65BXPTA) $2995 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ JB Hi-Fi
Both great - I'd say there's not $1000 of improvement in the C1, so if you can still find CX stock in lowish $3K range for the 65" go for...

I thought the same until I recently retired my Panasonic plasma, and I'm blown away by the 65" CX. Even just watching 4K content on...
