Great to hear, because we’ve been keen on BYD before all that came out and had been waiting for the Atto 1 to come here for ages.

Haven’t there been loads of issues with BYD not complying with repair laws and general servicing complaints? (Happy to be corrected,…

Well Australia’s only woman prime minister went to public school, so sounds like OP should save some cash and avoid private.

WatchNerd on Zemismart Tuya Zigbee Built-in Battery Blind Driver US$55.80 + US$3 Delivery (~A$89) @ Zemismart

Ours is over 10 years old, so just wait, the smell will start soon enough. I appreciate the hassle re: kids.

jjjaar commented on Artificial Grass over Pavers
Even when covered, artificial grass smells gross in the warmer months. Direct sun makes it worse, but just general ambient heat is enough.…

jjjaar commented on Home Window Tinting - 3M Worth The Premium?
What material is the actual frame of the window, and does it have a thermal break? Also you’re better off putting blinds on the outside…

“About the same” or “the same” cost? I wasn’t trying to antagonise, I was genuinely curious as to what devices are comparable.…

Based on previous Kogan deals that also don’t say “new customers only”, yes.
