    I’ll say this about robot vacs, two things are inevitable, 1) something gets intertwined in the rollers and cuts through the rubber, 2) some of the circular brush fingers will snap/break off and/or become warped/bent. They’ll still work well, but I’m not trying to do routine maintenance on these things, so I just buy the older roombas on sale or well rated cheaper off brands on Amazon and just replace every 18-24mos.

    Baseballman86 tell me the best Blackstone to buy. Think I want 36". Do I need the hood? I don't think I need the air fryer part.

    You definitely don't need the air fryer. the performance is average at best. I'd get one with a cooking height lid (not just a flat cover) if buying today. It'll help with convection so you'll get a little better performance with some foods. Beyond that, they all function about the same, even the other brand names, it just becomes a question of price and size. Could be some good Black Friday deals tomorrow if you check around.

    36" is a solid size, you definitely wouldn't want to go smaller. You'd be surprised how quickly you can fill up the surface once you get some sides or other ingredients on there too.

    So this one? I think 36 is the biggest.

    That one is a good choice. Haven't seen any listings of their BF deals yet but I'm sure there are some out there

    There are some store brand versions at Academy and other places under private label like Outdoor Gourmet that are also options.

    Don't blame you one bit. If you do have any issues with it, customer service will go much better with them than it would a store PL

    Imurhuckleberry ok I tried the mop the other day. It sucks. No tire racks it just didn’t get dirty spots up very well. I may return this and get the roborock. They are on sale right now.

    I bought an external hard drive, plugged it in to my Mac, downloaded everything on it, but then couldn't get it to work on my non-Apple laptop to move the stuff over. I was so pissed. Wasted $120.

    Not formatted for the correct file format. The default APple file format system and the default Windows file format system are not compatible with each other.

    Easiest and best thing to do would be to reformat it (thus deleting everything on it) to the exFAT file system. Then it should work seamlessly between Windows and Mac.

    I bought a non-Blackstone and it was a mistake. I have since corrected the mistake by buying a Blackstone.

    Here’s a Google docs with a shit ton of Black Friday Deals





    also, I just started using this yesterday but already have cash back. Use my referral link for Rakuten. It’ll give you $40 cash back and whatever cash back the store gives on top. I bought a TV yesterday on sale and got 3% back, many stores have 12%. My mom used the link and got a $190 jacket for 10% off, got $40 back, plus 12% since she bought it through the Rakuten app. It’s legit. Once you have over $5 cash back you can have them send you the check, I’m already at $128.

    Which one did you get? NexGrill or a private label? Pit Boss also released a line this past year but those are a bit different as the cooking surface is porcelain coated.

    I got the Expert Grill one because it seemed like it would be really cool and good at transporting for tailgating.

    It was a piece of shit. The bar that went across the legs to keep the entire thing upright randomly went to hell and the entire thing just collapsed in a hilarious fashion. Couldn't get them to actually send me a replacement part either so I was finally able to talk them into letting me return it past the return window.

    Oh yea Expert Grill is awful. Walmart outsourced to a manufacturer in China and they just use zero oversight whatsoever, so it's as thin and cheap as one can possibly be made and not collapse under its own weight. Their customer service is non existent too basically, bc the factory just doesn't care and WMT doesn't enforce anything.
    Some private label grills are reasonable, like Member's Mark at Sams or Outdoor Gourmet at Academy, but EG is always terrible

    My mom has an EG charcoal grill that was pretty nifty to use when I go up there and grill food but the griddle idea was a flop.

    I ended up getting a separate tabletop Blackstone for tailgating.

    It just didn't' work well with my house. I can't say anything is wrong with it, but I don't have any issues with the Eero that I did with the Deco (weak signal, loss of internet connection). My connection is faster with the Eero and much better signal than with the Deco, but like I said, it could just be a one off case based on my house. Not sure.

    yes the eero routers are good and will outperform your ISP router by a fair margin — unless you live in a studio apartment. They’re also super simple to operate. You’re probably paying Cox $10-20 a month to rent that router too.
