"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."

"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."
"my VIOFO A119 V3 has been going strong for the past 4+ years with no issues in the heat."

"the starvis 2 sensor this has is great. I have both the older and newer viofo units, and the starvis 2 definitely makes a difference compared to the previous gen."
"The picture quality day or night is fantastic."
"Last month got rear ended by person on the phone. ... I downloaded the event clip from the mobile app and was able to show the video to the police on the spot. ... The other driver got a ticket for using the phone."

"I hardwired it and hid the wires behind the paneling on my car so it wasn’t noticeable and I had front and rear cameras."
"the wedge shaped 129 is almost invisible when installed well."
"Fits perfectly up behind the rearview mirror so it's not always in your face."

"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."
"I hardwired it and hid the wires behind the paneling on my car so it wasn’t noticeable and I had front and rear cameras."
"A129 is plenty good enough ... even a fuzzy picture with front and rear coverage is enough to prove fault."

"The app for accessing and retrieving the videos off the device remotely is a pile of crap!"
"The app. It's a complete pain in the ass to view any footage ... it won't update the firmware because the dashcam connects to my phone via wifi and if it's connected via wifi, there's not any actual Internet access from the cellular signal so it can never update 🤣 what a joke."
"I could never get into the app to control settings, so I bought the remote. ... It would show up in Bluetooth and connect for no longer than a minute or 2, but the app wouldn’t populate any models to connect with. ... Then other times in Bluetooth the speaker would show up along with a ‘vizioapp’ connection. Same issue, would connect and disconnect and never show the model in the app."

"With Nest WiFi I’d hardly ever get more than 100mbps on a single device regardless of how close I was to the puck."
"And it only has 2.4GHz WiFi which makes downloading footage on the fly painfully slow."
"At the edge of our home, I used to barely get 10-30 Mbps (and with dropouts) with 4 units"
expletives 0.5Get a VIOFO and hardwire kit. It can do a type of sentry mode if it has constant power. I use the 119 and 129 front and rears on my vehicles, no problems in a few years so far.
Viofo 2 channel(front and rear) in my cars. Been running for years with no issues. I believe the specific models are the A29 Pro. And a plus. Can be had for around $150-175. Set and forget. I’ve caught lots of crazy drivers to watch later too as a bonus!
Hsiaotsu 0.3I had a Viofo front dashcam on my 2023 SEL which I loved. Got a 2025 Limited, but there were no kit for installing a Viofo. Finally installed the FitcamX, which took about 10 minutes. It works surprisingly good, but there's not very much to the hardware. Would have rather spent a little more to get a Viofo, but having the FitcamX is better than having no camera.
PraiseV8 0.2Most VIOFOs, specially the more recent ones like the A129s, A229s, and A329s can be hardwired and voltage regulated to your vehicle and run in parking mode for several hours off your car's battery with the appropriate hardwire kit. That means it won't drain your battery and you don't have to purchase another unit to power it. They also have rear and interior cameras for covering more than one side of the car.
Rwilmoth 0.2I ended up going with a viofo A229 Plus because my last ones were A129s and they were the old version apparently. I bought them about 6 months before they released the the updated versions with starvis 2 and usb-c. Mine had the micro USB so it was a pain to unplug and replug when it would freeze or decide not to turn on. It has enough positive feedback that I was willing to give it another chance.
69AssociatedDetail25 0.1I'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.
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.
bsibe2006 0.1I just ordered this with a viofo a129 plus from them for my 23 premium. Hopefully I got the right adapter.
bstyledevi 0.1I've got the Viofo A129 Plus (front cam only). I've had it in three different cars now and haven't had an issue yet. Fits perfectly up behind the rearview mirror so it's not always in your face. The app leaves a little to be desired, but you get what you pay for. Video quality is great.

Complete_Gear_7063 0.1Viofo 129 plus with hardwire kit
CrypticClif 0.1Viofo brands are very reliable and one of the most common ones. I have the Viofo 129 because I figured 1440p was enough quality, and I wasn't wrong. The one above is 4k resolution. Easy install and even easier to tuck the wires. If you care enough though, their hardwiring is a seperate buy, but i heard most dash cams being hardwired in tend to always trickle battery power no matter what.
deathbatdrummer 0.1This is just straight up false. [Almost EVERYONE is Wasting Money on Dash Cams.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AnyhHl3_tE) Personally use a Viofo 119v3, which is 150ish. Superb dashcam, and if you want one with a rear cam too you can get the a129 plus for under 300.
