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...

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

james645 on [Listing Error] Minor Figures Latte Oat Drink 1L, Pack of 6 - $5.80 ($5.32 S&S) + Delivery ($0 Prime/ $39 Spend) @ Amazon AU

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

Lococard on 70% off Yeelight Smart LED Bulb W3 (Dimmable) $10.19 (Was $33.95) + Postage ($0 with $100 Order) @ Yeelight AU

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

Jklaro on 70% off Yeelight Smart LED Bulb W3 (Dimmable) $10.19 (Was $33.95) + Postage ($0 with $100 Order) @ Yeelight AU

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."

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 commented on [Prime] Amazon Eero Wi-Fi 5 Router - 1 Pack $97 (Was $149), 3 Pack $253 (Was $389) Delivered @ Amazon AU
I've also had a good experience with my Eero's, had them for a year and almost never need to restart them. I was using them in bridge mode...

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...

Interesting seeing so many cashback offers for energy providers but most of the time, only plans with variable pricing are available. Maybe...

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

I used the free version for a while but ended up buying it, the delta backups in the paid version are great, fast enough to be able to do...

papagoose commented on TP-LINK Tapo C210, Pan/Tilt 3MP Wi-Fi Camera $58 + $8 Delivery ($0 C&C) @ The Good Guys Commercial (Membership Req.)
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...

Funny, I use 'lift and look' all the time, would only consider toasters that have it. But we have a cheaper manual toaster so you just...

papagoose commented on Xiaomi Yeelight LED Screen Light Bar Pro $78.85 (Was $153.85) + Delivery ($0 with $100 Order) @ Yeelight AU
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...

KangaDrew on Baseus GaN 65W Charger with PD 2 x USB-A + 2 x USB-C $56.09 ($54.77 eBay Plus) Delivered @ Baseus eBay

Doesn't even look like a legal AU plug anyway, Australian standards require that the live pins have insulation so if the plug is partially...

That one is UK stock and the Q&A says that Spectra Australia won't handle the warranty, so basically a grey import

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
