p-d on Eureka Mignon Silenzio Coffee Grinder with Bonus Eureka Tamper & Eureka Leveler $599 Delivered @ Coffeeteca

The Eureka for sure if you're single dosing. The Sette is a good grinder, really fast, but it's loud, plasticy and gearbox failure isn't…

Convenience vs cleaning ability and longevity. Dyson's are good for in between thorough cleaning, but they do a poor job of actually…

Shiroi Okami on [Pre Order] MSI GeForce RTX 5080 16G VENTUS 3X OC White Graphics Card $2,264.40 + Shipping ($0 VIC Pickup) @ CPL Online

It's closer to 15-20% performance difference especially above 1080p, 30% with ray tracing, while using 20% less power. DLSS is still far…

auMouth on Breville The Bambino Espresso Machine $376 (RRP $499) Delivered @ Amazon AU

Conversely I would take the og over the Plus regardless of price. Much prefer the steam wand on the og - it's more manoeuvrable (the Plus…

wintermadness commented on Flashforge Adventurer 5M 3D Printer $327.20 (Was $549) Delivered @ Flashforge 3D PRO eBay
Got one of these, love it. Prints fast and doesn't require much tinkering to get good results. It is reasonably loud, so I'd recommend…

Just saw a bunch of bottles ready for click and collect at the Greensborough store!

dBagDealer on DeLonghi Magnifica S Automatic Coffee Machine ECAM12122B $448 Delivered @ Amazon AU

As someone who previously worked with De'Longhi machines, most likely the guy wasn't lying - you really need to follow the directions word…

jv on DeLonghi Magnifica S Automatic Coffee Machine ECAM12122B $448 Delivered @ Amazon AU

Keep in mind that adjusting the grinder ultra fine (i.e. just before choking the machine as a lot of YT videos suggest) puts a *lot* of…

bamzero on DeLonghi Magnifica S Automatic Coffee Machine ECAM12122B $448 Delivered @ Amazon AU

Agreed, it takes time but it's mostly hands-off.

wintermadness commented on Dreamfarm Garject Garlic Crusher - Silver/Charcoal - $24.97 + Delivery ($0 with OnePass) @ Catch
Great price, paid about $45 and I'm stoked with it. Genuinely cook with fresh garlic far more often for owning it, makes it so easy.

wintermadness commented on Meletrix BOOG75 Hall Effect Switch Wired Keyboard $329 ($30 off) + Del ($10 with $69 Spend on 2 Items) + Surcharge @ Umart
I would *probably* buy a Wooting instead now, because their software support is a lot better, but the Boog75 is easily the nicest feeling…

MaMan on Creamy Mango 840g 2 for 1 $49.95 + $10 Del (Free with $70 Purchase) @ The Man Shake

Man shake has a pretty decent serving of fibre, so that's a pretty common side effect if you don't up your water intake to suit.

wintermadness commented on [Carton Damage, VIC] TCL 85" C845 Mini LED 4K Google TV 85C845 $1999 + Melbourne Delivery / C&C Clayton South @ Appliances Deals
Any comments from someone who has compared the C845 & C855? Local dimming zones are greatly increased in the C855, which looked impressive…

PainToad on TP-Link AC1350 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Access Point (EAP225) $79 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) + Surcharge @ Umart & MSY

They've had their own share of security breaches, that they actively avoided informing the community of. Not to mention their history of…

Billy Herrington on [eBay Plus] MSI Claw Ultra 5 1TB SSD $599.99 Delivered @ Mobileciti eBay

Apparently with 24h2 installed, more CPU cores are parked when the iGPU needs more juice, I'm yet to test and compare though.

Merlict on [eBay Plus] MSI Claw Ultra 5 1TB SSD $599.99 Delivered @ Mobileciti eBay

And performed 30% worse than it does after all the updates.

Epping seemed to have a bunch of placards for them, but don't know if that reflects the quantity available. After all the updates (BIOS,…

noobshoes on Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL Stand Mixer KVL65.001WH $474 Delivered @ Amazon AU

KitchenAids are much higher quality machines, however the standard Artisan line is limited to 1.1kg when mixing dough - used within that…

tommOz on De'Longhi Magnifica Fully Automatic Coffee Machine Black $399 ($374 with UNiDAYS) + Delivery @ Bing Lee

If you run the machine with the side panel off (don't touch anything...) you should be able to locate a leak pretty easily. If there's no…

TEER3X on De'Longhi Magnifica Fully Automatic Coffee Machine Black $399 ($374 with UNiDAYS) + Delivery @ Bing Lee

Too late now, but it's typically the valve that sits behind the control panel that leaks - it'll leak underneath the machine or into the…

Ploppypants on Eureka Mignon Specialita 55 Black w/ Black Front €313.20 Delivered (~A$505) @ Espresso Coffee Shop

3D printed tilted base & finecoar grind setting dial work well also

Functionally very similar, you won't notice any real difference in coffee, however the Lelit has much better build quality and would easily…

poppingtags on KEF LS50 Meta Bookshelf Speakers $1725 Delivered @ Amazon AU

Paid about this for grey import LS50 Metas and I was stoked at the time. This is a great price. Using them as desktop speakers as well, but…

he88388 on Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog Powerline Vacuum 890W $499 Delivered @ Amazon AU

It's reportedly better due to the improved design. The floor tools are also improved and do a better job. In actual use they're about the…

They seem to charge $5 a month extra to opt out of cgnat?

Powershopz on Breville The Dual Boiler Espresso Machine BES920BSS $1299 Delivered / C&C / In-Store @ MYER

Just keep an eye on it and get it looked at as soon as it starts acting up or you see any issues - which I generally found was around the 4…

stuffandthat on KitchenAid KSM195 Artisan Stand Mixer in Silver $649 (RRP $1049) Delivered ($0 C&C/In-Store) @ MYER

You'll be lucky to get more than 5 years from the Sunbeam before it dies a horrible death and isn't repairable due to poor support. The…

cerealsmok3r on KitchenAid KSM195 Artisan Stand Mixer in Silver $649 (RRP $1049) Delivered ($0 C&C/In-Store) @ MYER

Kenwood & KitchenAid both have high quality pasta attachments that are made in Italy. I use the KitchenAid ones all the time, work well
