Can't you just buy generic toner on AliExpress and refill them? They come with a plug so you can just drill a hole in the old one.

Thrifty McGifty replied to Thrifty McGifty on [Pre Order] MAMMOTION YUKA mini 500 Robot Lawn Mower + 24 Replacement Blades $1294 Delivered @ Mammotion, Hong Kong
Actually, $2.5k for the smaller version is more reasonable. Probably not worth it yet, but better than $4k.

Yikes. At $4k, I could pay someone to mow my lawn for 3 years.

Is this a Poweramp rip-off? Similar name, very similar icon/logo.

FYI, we couldn't book past the membership expiry date. So 2 years membership doesn't really last 2 years.

This tracks with my experience a month ago, except I got a refund as soon as I dropped the faulty part off at the post office.

If I don't know what that is, is it worth a 200% price premium? WD seems to go for around $280.

Thrifty McGifty replied to edrift on Lubluelu Cordless Vacuum Cleaner $96.90 ($94.62 eBay Plus) Delivered @ lubluelu eBay
Similar how? The ones currently available from Kmart look different to this. It also kind of looks like a Dyson or LG.

I find Command strips very useful for dropping my artwork on the floor, usually on colder Summer days (after it has been hot).

Ok, after watching some YouTube videos i get it. Now my dilemma is whether to get this, or the Dreame D9 Max for $275.

Also for sale through the BigW website (still coming from MyDeal). Might be able to use 10% off with EDR.
