"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"
"For an open style earbud, these genuinely surprised me with their overall performance in sound at this price point. ... IMHO, these Soundpeats PearlClip Pro are probably the best I’ve heard in this under $50 price category when it comes to this style of earbuds. ... These are one of the best clip-on earbuds in this price category especially when it comes to price to performance in sound quality and feature set"

"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"I've used it daily for at least 10 years now, probably closer to 15 and apart from the fact you need to clean it periodically, it's still works like brand new."
"One huge leg up for a Shark over Roomba is that the brush roller is similar to a vacuum (e.g. hard plastic), whereas the roomba is a plastic roller with a rubber cover that is DESTROYED by dog fur and you have to frequently replace."

"I had it set up during a crazy storm and had no water come in it. Really nicely designed"
"I’ve bought both to festivals with multiple severe thunderstorms and was much dryer than people who brought much more expensive tents."
"It is reliable and comfortable, we have slept in it in torrential rain, high heat, ~34 degree nights with frost developing on it; all of that has left it with no damage and solid water repelling still after all of that happening on multiple trips."

"So you can build one like I did with my hacked ninebot g30 and then run at variable vintage and capacities. ... Currently using the g30 with m365 pro 2 brain and 500W motor. Overvolted to 50V with a 12v booster pack I can connect. ... Extended base with 3D printed ring and it fits a 12s10 battery and the m365 brain mounted inside. ... Dual after market suspension and at one point ran it dual motor."
"About to put a different motor in that supposedly has stupid amount of torque. ... Some guys are running 30s now with this specific motor to have stupid torque in a single motor and have an 80mph top speed... ... I pull wheelie at 40mph by just pressing the throttle. ... I should be able to top out around 40mph without field weakening and maybe 45mph with a little field weakening and this is on 60v. Supposed to have backflip torque available lol. Perfect for all the mountains I'm around."
"Scooter used was a few hundred bucks, batteries about 2-300$ and other random parts and connectors about 50$. The time is all you need to create an absolute monster.... With a lil ingenuity he could have a real tank for cheap"

"No suspension is up to personal preference in my opinion; it’s going to be less maintenance and less things to go wrong, but it can be a rough ride when hitting bumps in the road."
"It has two flaws: ... no suspension. ... The only thing that does make me go "aw, crap" is cobblestones, but that happens on every scooter and bicycle I have, including the dual-suspension scooter and the mountain bike."
"No suspension tho"

"Inclines of 10-15° would result in a top speed of 14-17km/h at full battery, whereas a short incline of 20-25° reduced me to 4-7km/h. At inclines of 30° I was completely stopped even in sport mode. ... This isn't going to be what I'd consider commuter viable for anyone over 75kg - unless they live in dead flat suburbs."
"the G2 is NOT good for hills. It slows a ton."

"Stay away from kukirin they have left me with a snapped scooter ... it snapped going 7 mile on flat ground ... After 6 months utter junk"
"be prepared for daily and monthly maintenance. ... air tires: checking these constantly. ... If you live an urban environment with rough roads (eg Boston; NYC) you may want air tires (softer ride), but you trade off with maintenance. Check daily. ... if you ride your brake, with regular commuting (5x a week), you will go through brakes every 3 months. ... high maintenance scooters (to maintain daily performance)"

"My only complaint on mine is the 19 mph top speed can feel a bit slow on longer straight roads"
"It has two flaws: relatively slow maximum speed even unrestricted"
"it doesn’t go faster than 18 mph"
benyacat 1.0Ninebot G30ii already 3 years and more than 5000 km mileage. without repairs and maintenance.
Jealous-Ride-7303 0.2Something to note about escooters is that tire changes are a nightmare especially if you're looking at commuter escooters. My experience with a Xiaomi pro 2 was that I loved it, till I had to change the tires. Even an escooters shop that was supposed to specialise in xiaomis didn't fit the tire properly. That said, I would choose the Xiaomi again if you don't mind a dealing with tire changes. alternatively the ninebot G30 is kind of like a more expensive but slightly better in every way - slightly larger battery, 10in tires, more waterproof. I would go for an ebike if I had more space in the house to store it.
kphi13 0.2Segway Max G30 OG, 3.5 years, 16,000km, just starting to experience power loss, but still full speed until 70% battery.
brianvan 0.2If you're not sensitive to price, there's nothing wrong with this model. Lots of comments about the price here, which is fair if you're bargain-hunting, but if you just want to pick up something that's readily available, this will do. However, this is definitely in the "light duty" category. It's 41 pounds without any hydraulic shocks. And it's a Segway. It's one of the more respected brands so in-general you're looking at the least amount of possible problems. It depends on the model, though. Haven't heard anything bad about the E2 line. Just know that, I'm assuming that your status as "never owned one before" means you're not a DIY repair pro & if anything goes wrong you're going to get tagged for $200+ from PEV repair places (you might get tires swapped for $125 apiece if that is all the maintenance you ever need). Just know that is possibly coming if you are price-sensitive. My first scooter, a Segway, lasted a long time without needing third-party help even though it was a model known to have problems - not dealbreaker problems like fire risk or breaking frames, but stupid things like "it would not charge anymore because the internal connectors were not robust enough for a scooter with hard tires that hit every bump in the road" (I was lucky and it held up).
fastheadcrab 0.1Segway Ninebot Max. Get the G30 or a refurb if you can't afford the highest version. These are excellent commuter scooters. Also look at NIU scooters too. If you can, try to save up a bit more for something in the $800-900 range. You won't be paying for gas, maintenance, insurance, or parking. So it's going to be a massive deal Gotrax is okay.
One_Strategy_4575 0.1Just to put things into perspective for you, my g30 max can muster out about 22-23 miles on a charge...not quite what is claimed
playnpanda 0.1Look at ninebot g30s. I have beaten the absolute shiiit out of mine and it Is still going very strong. It's actually significantly more durable than my $1.8k Apollo city pro. Just no where near as fun
pwhite13 0.120 miles of actual range is plenty on a scooter. You should consider alternate transportation if you’re going beyond that. I say actual range because my G30 MAX is listed at 40 miles, but that’s only in the slowest eco mode. In Sport mode, it’s around 20 miles. I’ve depleted the entire battery before in a ride and its about the limit for how long I’d wanna be on it.
Sad_Zucchini3205 0.1I have the G30 Max and i can say its a bit clunky but i totally fine with my range.
xFantasyRain 0.1Range wise I was looking into something similar to the Ninebot Max G30 since that scooter moved me around in nyc and NJ. I only had to charge it once a week. Only thing is that it wasn’t that great on hills.
