"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"But I got 900 miles out of one pair of Lone Peaks on the PCT, and 750 from another pair."
"I had issue with Klymit losing air in cold temps and Tensor has been awesome."

"Reliability wise is was rock solid never having an ounce of issues with it through three winters and two whole summers."
"Yeah they are specifically better in the heat than other cameras because they use a super capacitor instead of a battery to do the final writing to the SD card when the power gets cut by your car. ... Batteries tend to have issues in extreme heat/cold"
"I've had a Viofo A129 for a couple of years now, and I leave it in the car 24/7 without issues despite the heat and cold."

"the parking surveillance feature has unbelievable sensitivity."
"A129 is plenty good enough ... even a fuzzy picture with front and rear coverage is enough to prove fault."
"If you hardwire it, it can even record 24/7 in low-power mode when the car is parked."

"GoPro is still the best action cam for fpv because it lets you record in 5.3k 8/7 aspect ratio. ... When you stabilize fpv footage you crop in this will make you loose resolution. ... If you want the image with the best quality possible go with gopro. ... Its better for cropping in post since you get a larger image."
"The picture quality is amazing ... the footage is really sharp"
"The GoPro has much better color science right out of the box."

"It does NOT handle the Florida heat at all. ... Constant shutdowns while driving and parked have rendered it absolutely useless. ... Viofo's solution? Kick it down to 1080 / 2k and hope works. It did not. ... The camera is seriously flawed."
"I don't trust them anymore with their built in capacitors that died."
"had a lot of issues with intermittent recordings on the 70mai"

"My DR970X Plus from JAN 2025 through JAN 2025 does NOT have HDR and is being returned immediately. ... HDR is not a fad, passing trend, or conspiracy pushed by Alex Jones. It the most basic item a camera must have to be useful at capturing details like license plates. ... Without HDR you might as well replace the recorded footage with the Windows 98 Bezier screensaver and extra-long mouse cursor trails. ... Recording a grainy blur in 4K is a high-quality grainy blur but it's still a grainy blur."
"The thinkware, while you can see a lot, is blown out so bad you can't make any license plates or signs out."
"it is still hard to read plates."
Would suggest you get a 70mai and have it connected via the OBD2 port, this will guarantee parking monitoring and will not void any warranty.
r/CarsIndia • Thoughts on this dashcam offered for Taigun by VW showroom in Pune? ->Can vouch. Have a 500s with th same lens
r/CarsIndia • Op got a new car, which dashcam to get? ->Had 2 Nextbase 622 and they were shite plus crazy expensive. Purchased 2 70 mai front and rear cams for a quarter of the price and they are miles ahead. That said Viofo are excellent, if you follow Ashley Neal on YT he has discount codes.
r/drivingUK • Dashcam recommendations ->Check nyo po 70mai na brand. Before bumili lang ako sa shopee nung nagsale tapos pina install ko na lang. Daming installer sa fb marketplace na naghohome service.
r/CarsPH • Any other Dash cam Recommendation? At saan pwede mag pa install? ->Not sure with the exact model. Pero check nyo po shopee ni 70mai madami po dun, pili na lang.
r/CarsPH • Any other Dash cam Recommendation? At saan pwede mag pa install? ->Got a 70mai A500S front and rear. 275 including install and 25 more for him to come to me to install so €300 total. https://autoelectriciancork.ie/dash-cams/
r/cork • Dash cam and reversing camera ->70mai. Midrange will do. A500s. I have been using for years. Recently add another one to my new car. Get the model with rear camera included. Rear camera is a must. Forget hardwire...will suck your car battery dry. Unless you park outside and live in Klang, it is not needed.
r/kereta • Dashcam recommendation? ->A500 is good enough. All the extra function above A500 is a waste and no use. Android Player: Vecaro ( i am using). Other popular brands, Mohawk, Dynavin, Stinger. Honestly, 360 camera is a waste of money for Myvi. Just install a good rear camera with minimum 1080p will do.
r/kereta • Looking for dashcam and android player recommendation ->Get a 70mai or even better options like Redtiger or DDPAI and use a hardwire kit with it.. It will allow you to record 24/7 and don't forget to check if the hardwire kit has a voltage protection so that the battery will not be drained.
r/CarsIndia • Suggest me a dash cam which can stay 24/7 ->I dread the day I'll have to have my baby, or anyone's baby in the car tbh. Also I recommend the 70mai dash cam, it's a bit expensive but very good!
r/irelandsshitedrivers • Dash-cam recommendations please? (What the feck is with trucks driving 5ft behind you?) ->Can vouch for a500s. Bought it 4 years ago and it served me well. No issues till date( fingers crossed)
r/kereta • Best dashcam? ->A rechargeable RTC battery should be fine, first because it should be located in the cool part of the camera, as Viofo's are, and second because the charge and discharge rates are extremely slow. A main lithium battery is a totally different matter, they need to be charged rapidly, with enough power to shutdown safely, before the camera can start recording, and they are big enough that they often don't fit in the cool part of the camera. 70mai are not too bad, their normal camera design allows the battery to stay reasonably cool, and they use Li Ion cells instead of Lipos. There have been a few reports of Viofo RTC batteries needing to replaced, but it is unusual, and I don't think it is due to heat problems.
r/Dashcam • Project Farm - Dash Cams comparison (great channel) ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
