papagoose replied to Kapitoshka on Fairy Platinum Dishwasher, 52 Tablets $21 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $39 Spend) @ Amazon AU
I'd have to disagree, I was getting great results with Fairy Platinum and Finish Quantum, but thought I'd give Costco Kirkland a go. Vastly...

papagoose commented on [Afterpay] Pink Thermapen ONE Digital Thermometer $128.70 Delivered @ rbsintsales eBay
I must have been unlucky, I have two V3 thermopens and they both have issues with the durability of the hinge after 1-2 years, it can be...

papagoose replied to Iwantthebestprice on SecurePlus COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Single Pack - 4 for $15.80 ($3.95 Per Test) & Free Delivery @ Plus Medical
Well, I live in NSW and don't have kids in school, so I haven't seen even a single free RAT

I quite like plain Califia, that's probably my favourite in terms of taste

To my knowledge the best ones easily available are the Ikea Tradfri 2700k bulb (704.100.65) for $15, or the Ikea Solhetta 4000k...

CRI measures how similar the light is to ideal black body radiation, so an incandescent lamp has a value of 100. It basically intends to...

CRI >80 is nothing to write home about, I won’t buy anything that isn’t >90 now, the difference is so striking. And then of course...

Can add the $38 one to cart, but then at checkout it says "This item is no longer available from the seller you selected."

papagoose replied to M00Cow on [Prime] Amazon Eero Wi-Fi 5 Router - 1 Pack $97 (Was $149), 3 Pack $253 (Was $389) Delivered @ Amazon AU
$250 isn't really that much, are there any products with dedicated backhaul and a comparable price for 3 units?

papagoose replied to chriso1 on Weber Q Premium BBQ (Q2200) $449 Shipped @ Weber via eBay
Also don't forget bigger isn't necessarily better, with the Weber Q you can't just heat half the grill, so you'll be wasting a lot of gas...

Again, cashback with variable price plans only. They seem really desperate to keep people off fixed price plans...

papagoose commented on 50% off Cygnett Smart Wi-Fi Plug with Power Monitoring $17.45 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $39 Spend) @ Cygnett via Amazon AU
They were a bit painful to set up, but I've had 3 for over a year, and once it was all set up with Homekit it's been rock solid

C210 looks only marginally better than C200 and that's often available for <$50 delivered, maybe even <$40. Would be interested to know if...

Very happy with my Eero 5, this one unfortunately doesn’t have Ethernet ports on the secondary units so no wired back haul. I just wanted...

Gave this a punt, for ~$80 it's a reasonable alternative but agree that the Benq would definitely be the better buy at the RRP. This has...

papagoose replied to Mazozb on 20% off + Delivery @ Spectra Baby Australia
That one is UK stock and the Q&A says that Spectra Australia won't handle the warranty, so basically a grey import

papagoose replied to fusion17 on Long Life 750ml Grout Cleaner Spray for $4.49 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ Bunnings
Baking soda and bleach works really well in my experience. Just don't use baking *powder* (as that will result in chlorine gas)

Nothing wrong with single motor - in fact, fewer motors to fail - but it’s just the lift capacity to watch out for. Looks like this desk...

papagoose commented on 20x COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Tests $139.99 in-Store, $149.99 Delivered @ Costco (Membership Required)
It shows in stock online on my computer, but not on my phone - seems to be a bit erratic, worth trying a few devices and refreshing IMO
