"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."

"Can't see it at all! ... it is 100% hidden away. ... if it wasn't for seeing the bottom .25" of the back camera you wouldn't know it's there"
"Super easy. ... Took about 20-30 minutes"
"Was easily able to run the wires on the top, press it behind the header with the spudger they gave and make it look nice. Then on the liftgate theres a plastic cover panel you can take off to bundle the extra wire and make the drop to the camera really nice and clean."

"STARVIS2 sensor is amazing"
"Coincidentally, a few months later, someone tried that, they jumped out of our lane behind me, to try to get in front me, and cut me off going into a construction zone... And slammed into me. ... He tried to claim I sped up to cut him off. ... I showed the dual camera video to both insurance companies, and they the both decided it was entirely his fault. ... Dual cams are awesome."
"Viofo a129 is by far the best image quality ive seen in a dashcam"

"i want the best resolution camera back there, and the dual ones out there, including fitcamx, all have 1080p res. the viofo is 4k ... the last 5 cars have all had front and rear cameras, and at least 3 times we got punted in the rear, not once in the front. one time some dumbass ran in to us at the wendys drive thru. another was when we were stopped at a red lite."
"But both work great and I would 100% get front and rear."

"We bought a S7 and it broke down just a little over a year. ... Then it broke down again after a couple of months and we gave up on it."
"after about a year the main brush no longer spins well enough on carpet. ... It's like the motor that runs that brush wears out."

"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."
"Garmin Mini 2 purple video. There are tons of reports of this happening and mine started doing this about 2.5 years in. ... If u press on the glass of the camera it goes away and then comes back a bit later while driving."
"I don’t think I can ever trust that it’s recording again without seeing the screen pop on briefly few a few seconds."

"It's also extremely slow with Wi-Fi transfer"
"App is a little wonky sometimes"
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 love this brand. I have yet to see anyone else with such good quality. I have the 129, 229 and the recent 329 version in my truck. No issues at all. Money well spent.
r/YEGDashCam • Looking for Dash Cam recommendations. ->Yes, but I’d recommend a dashcam with higher resolution than 1080p. Preferably 2.5K* or 4K. I like Viofo.
r/Camry • Dash cam ->I installed the VioFo A129 front and rear dash cam system. It was pretty straightforward. Just make sure you have a trim tool from Harbor freight. This video below basically walks you through it step-by-step. I did not hardwire anything into the fuse box. I’m just using the cigarette lighter. https://youtu.be/aLVQEpw8I1E?si=BS6yz4EGqiDhHyP3
r/KiaTelluride • Has anyone installed a front and rear dash cam? Wondering what wiring the rear one will be like and the best way to do that. This is the one I just ordered on Amazon and it was one of their top reviewed. ->I've not got a rear camera, but I'm more than happy with my Viofo A129 Plus. They've sponsored a few YouTube channels, so you can probably get a discount through one of their promo codes.
r/AskUK • What is the best Dashcam for the front and back of your car? ->Yeah they're not cheap, but worth it in my opinion. I think they're also the only brand to use capacitors instead of batteries, which gives me some extra confidence that my car won't randomly catch fire on a hot day.
r/AskUK • What is the best Dashcam for the front and back of your car? ->Same here, exact same model been going strong for 6 summers now.
r/australia • Best dashcam available in AU that isn't super expensive ->Been using the viofo a129 for the past 5 years and still going well. Got the package one with front and rear cam included. It can also either be hard wired (with instructions) but I just plugged it in my auxiliary port cause I cant be bothered. Just tidied up the wirings and made sure its well tucked in the headboard as well as the pillars for a clean look. One important thing to consider as well is getting a good memory card. Make sure to get at least a high endurance/class 10 and ensure to refresh it every quarter or so.
r/australia • Best dashcam available in AU that isn't super expensive ->Experience with various dashcams and upgrading the battery in my car to the largest AGM type that will fit in the battery tray. (096 70ah). My car was vandalised twice and both times the dashcam, a Viofo A129, had stopped recording in under 12 hours. Replaced it with a Thinkware U3000 and now get a few days.
r/drivingUK • Help!!! My car keeps getting hit no ->My Viofo A129 has handled Florida weather for years.
r/Dashcam • Best dashcam for HOT locations? ->I use Viofo A129 on my cars. It’s top-rated for a reason - good price, 4K video recording, wifi connectivity, capacitor-powered (instead of batteries that bloat and degrade in heat), front and rear cameras. Newest model is now the A329.
r/CarsPH • what are your recommended dash cams??????????????? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
