"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."

"the 8:7 aspect ratio and 5.3k. That gives me much more freedom when reframing shots."
"Nice crisp clear 4K especially if you keep your streams and upload them to YT later."

"i have had the BlackVue DR970x Plus which proved bulletproof during the hottest Summer on record last year. my credit cards and ID’s all had to be replaced because they melted and warped, but the BlackVue keeps running without issues."
"I live in Mexico in a place where temps can get up to 45°C (113°F) and by installing it on the black part of the windshield the camera doesn't get very hot."

"I don't trust them anymore with their built in capacitors that died."
I suggest to get any Viofo besides the A229 (audio quality can turn loud at certain times), Either go with the A119 or A129, best models or either a Garmin or Thinkware, you can find some of them for under $200 or $100 and they're very easy to install!
r/rav4club • Is the integrated dashcam worth it? ->i really really like the viofo. i bought the a119 on sale on amazon 2 years ago and it's been recording consistently ever since because it is motion/bump activated when i'm not driving. i hardwired it into my car. cannot recommend it enough.
r/Edmonton • Dash cam suggestions for Edmontons cold weather ->There is a neat community and [recommendations thread on /r/dashcams](https://www.reddit.com/r/dashcams/comments/1iube1b/dashcam_recommendations_on_reddit/). Helped me get my A119 which was around $90 when I got it on sale.
r/askcarguys • Dashcam recommendations? ->No. Get a viofo a119 dash cam and then buy this adapter [here on amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT37DNWV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) Lmk if you have more questions.
r/rav4club • Is the integrated dashcam worth it? ->Same here
r/phoenix • Dash cam recommendations that hold up to the heat? ->I'm not a c43 owner but I use an A119 I believe. It's super solid. A229 is an even better option.
r/AMG • C43 Coupe dashcam? ->I got this one for all my vehicles. I like it. [Rexing dash cam](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJN33W3S?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1) I previously had a Viofo A119. It died just out of warranty, but it had problems before that. The customer support said to upgrade the firmware. That fixed it several times (PITA) before warranty end, but did not fix it after warranty end. It was a POS.
r/JeepGladiator • Best Dash Cams? ->This is the one I use, as well. It's been doing the job, but there have been occasions where the unit doesn't begin to record when the vehicle is started. Thankfully, you can see this happening because the red REC led light blinks rapidly. Turning it off/on again seems to rectify it. It hasn't happened for sometime, but it was a concern.
r/hondaridgeline • Updated list of the best dash cams ->I love my VIOFO A119. Just got the v2 for my wife's car. They're pretty affordable and easy to setup/use
r/civic • Dash cam for 2026? ->I’m successfully using Viofo A119 and this cable on my two Toyotas https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2D78KMJ?ref=emc_b_5_mob_t Other Redditors reported success with this one as well https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZ7QJVHC?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_H76099TX42XDAEK2XCE3&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_H76099TX42XDAEK2XCE3&social_share=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_H76099TX42XDAEK2XCE3&starsLeft=1&skipTwisterOG=1 You just buy this cable (12P type C), open the lane assist cover, connect this Y cable in between the lane assist connection, and with that, you have a powered USB port right in the middle of your windshield. Then just install the Viofo cam or anything else needed and connect it there. Done. Simple as that. No hard routing in the A-pillars etc. It’s the same method FitcamX uses, except Fitcamx is pretty bad quality compared to Viofo. Viofo always alerts when the recording is not working for whatever reason, FitcamX stays silent so you can easily miss recording on accident.
r/rav4club • Dash cam recommendations? ->I’ve successfully installed a Viofo A119 dash cam (A119 is just the front camera though) in both of my Toyotas using this cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2D78KMJ?ref=emc_b_5_mob_t Several other Redditors have also reported good results with this alternative: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZ7QJVHC?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_H76099TX42XDAEK2XCE3&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_H76099TX42XDAEK2XCE3&social_share=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_H76099TX42XDAEK2XCE3&starsLeft=1&skipTwisterOG=1 All you need is the 12-pin Type-C cable. Just pop open the lane assist cover, plug the Y-cable inline with the existing connection, and you’ve got a powered USB port right at the top-center of your windshield. No need to run wires through A-pillars or do any hardwiring. This is basically the same installation method that FitcamX uses, but in my experience, Viofo is much more reliable. Viofo gives audible alerts if recording fails, while FitcamX stays silent—so you might not realize it’s not recording until it’s too late. Hope this helps someone avoid a messy install!
