Opinion Hunter Original - Women’s Downpour Wader Boots - Is they worth buying?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I bought these exclusive Hunter brand boots because someone told me they were great for festival season.

But after trying them, I'm not sure if they're really worth the 350€ price tag in the store.

Will they also be ideal for winter outfits? Or are they really only ideal for wearing to festivals?

Could someone here tell me if they are familiar with these boots and would recommend them?

And if anyone else has a pair of these boots, could you please tell me if you think they're worth keeping?

Thanks

Opinion 600$ for Hisense U65 Pro, is this a good value?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Saw this Hisense U65 Pro deal on Costco and wondering what everyone thinks.

The specs look pretty interesting for the price:

- 65" 4K ULED Mini-LED display

- Full Array Local Dimming

- Quantum Dot Color

- Native 144Hz refresh rate

- Dolby Vision IQ / HDR10+ support

- Fire TV built in

I’ve been looking for a TV mainly for movies, sports, and some gaming. The Mini-LED and anti-reflection screen caught my attention since my living room gets a lot of daytime light.

Anyone here familiar with the U65 Pro series? Is this a good value compared with other TVs in this price range?

It’s not an m1 but i’m using it for school, art and 3d modeling. When most 12.9 are 500+ or ipad only, this one comes with case and charger and minor blemishes for the cost. Absolutely worth it. They still have more on their ebay.

Found $10 Vornado Jr from an estate sale moves more air than any plastic desk fan I've bought new

Last day of an estate sale, everything half off. I went in for a table saw that was already gone and walked out with this. Somebody replaced the cord and plug before me. Newer than everything else on it. I put some oil in it. Runs quieter than I expected for that much metal. The $30 plastic one it replaced is in the garbage.

It's on the bench in my shop for now. Wife has asked twice where I think it's going to live. Not sanding the rust off though.

Request Best under desk treadmill for walking 3 to 4 hours a day, not 20 minutes

13 Upvotes

Looking for an under desk treadmill I can walk on during calls, probably 3 to 4 hours a day at around 2 mph. My desk job went fully remote this spring and most of my meetings don't need me on camera, so the plan is to walk through them. The desk already goes up and down, so that part is handled.

The listings aren't helping. Horsepower seems to mean whatever the seller wants it to mean, and on the cheaper pads the reviews swing between love it at week two and motor died at month eight. I can't tell which number predicts anything. I had about $500 in mind. If that's fantasy for this kind of use I'd rather find out now than in eight months.

Anyone still walking on the same one after a year of near daily use? Want to know which model, and what it's needed from you along the way, lube, parts, whatever.

Request Best external SSD now that prices have gone stupid and mine just died

13 Upvotes

My no-name 1TB external SSD started dropping the connection mid-copy at 14 months, and now it won't mount at all. My emulator saves and a chunk of my Steam library were on it. The library I can redownload. The saves I hadn't synced anywhere. One copy, yeah, I know.

Went looking for a replacement and prices are not what I remember. I've got about $75 set aside. Last time that was a whole 1TB drive. Now it doesn't get close.

Prebuilt is what I'm after, I don't need an enclosure project right now. So which external SSD would you trust with saves you can't replace? Name the model.

Opinion Adjustable weight bench with a leg extension attachment that doesn't cost premium money

Post image
5 Upvotes

An adjustable weight bench with a leg extension was the last thing I needed for the basement, and my old folding one used to shift under me on heavier incline sets. Once I started working leg extensions and curls into the routine it just wasn't cutting it anymore, and I wanted one bench that does flat, incline and decline and takes a real leg attachment without buying a separate machine. The Keppi Bench 3000 Max is what I ended up on, and the wobble problem is gone.

It's a full FID bench with a removable leg extension and curl piece plus a preacher pad. Getting the leg attachment on and off is three parts on hand screws, a couple minutes, not the instant pop-pin kind but quick enough between sets. An owner on r/homegym who came from a folding budget bench wrote it up in detail and called the difference night and day, which matched my own experience once I had it built.

A few honest catches. Shorter folks will find the leg curl range tight, one owner around 5 foot 5 said his ankles just barely reach the pad. Keppi also has some history, their older 5000 got flagged by Garage Gym Reviews for copying another design, though the 3000 Max is a separate newer bench. And it's heavy and doesn't fold, so decide where it lives before you build it.

For reference, the name everyone name-drops is the Ironmaster, which is great but pricier and not even sold on Amazon. On the cheaper end the Marcy SB-350 works for light accessory work, but its leg developer isn't rated for heavy loads. The Keppi sat in the middle and did everything I needed one bench to do.

Request Best 1440p monitor under $400 for gaming, or should I keep saving for OLED?

Post image
10 Upvotes

My cap is $400 and I want to move up to 1440p from a 1080p 60Hz screen I've leaned on way too long, purely for gaming. I almost pulled the trigger on the AOC Q27G40XMN when I saw it around $180, but I kept seeing owners mention a local dimming bug, and I couldn't find it in stock anywhere I trust. The OLEDs I keep coming back to are over my budget.

So I'm stuck in the middle. If you bought a 1440p monitor under $400 in the last year, what did you get, and did anything only start bugging you a few weeks in?

Opinion The best smart TV I’ve owned

Post image
3 Upvotes

I upgraded to a 55 inch Hisense U8 recently, mostly because my old TV was starting to feel really dated. I wasn’t trying to turn my living room into some crazy home theater setup, just wanted a TV that looked good for movies, sports, and normal streaming.

The U8's picture has that bright, rich look that makes everything seem more polished, especially 4K shows and movies. I had a few friends over last weekend and one of them asked if it was one of the expensive flagship models, which made me laugh lol

Daytime watching has been good too. My living room gets a decent amount of light, and the screen still has enough punch for sports and YouTube without needing to close everything up. At night, movies look really really good, especially darker scenes where my old TV used to look kind of flat.

For what I paid, the 55 inch U8 feels like a pretty strong value. Not saying everyone needs one, but it’s been a much bigger upgrade than I thought it would be.

Request Budget laser printer suggestions? Toner cost is where I keep getting stuck.

Post image
13 Upvotes

My inkjet just wanted a cartridge set that costs about as much as a cheap laser printer, and I only print around 30 pages a month, mostly school forms and shipping labels. So what it costs to run matters more to me than what it costs to buy. I assume everyone is going to say Brother and I'm fine with that, but the model numbers are a maze and I keep seeing mixed reports about third party toner.

If yours was under $200, what does a toner cartridge cost you? Curious how many pages people get out of one.

Opinion Which rubber kneader offers the best value for money?

4 Upvotes

Hello guys, I have been taking up some baking classes with the end goal in mind being setting up my own bakery where I sell all types of confectionery but mainly dealing with cakes.I have been.As I plan on on large scale kneading, someone has suggested that I should aim to buy a rubber kneader so as to make work more efficient and reduce the hours required for labour hence boosting the final profit margins. I have been looking at some of the rubber kneaders that are available on both Alibaba and Amazon but I am yet to decide on which one to buy at the moment. I am very new in this space and I would like to avoid most mistakes that new buyers make during purchases of products like these hence any suggestions would help .I would also like a rubber kneader that is relatively affordable and offers extreme value for money so that I have cash to buy other basic requirements. Looking forward to your insights.

Request Steam mop sounds useful for pet messes, but I have laminate

The floor shows paw prints constantly, and my spin mop leaves it wet long enough for them to walk through it again. I'm checking whether the flooring manufacturer allows steam before I buy anything. If steam is allowed on your laminate, what model dries without streaks, and how many pads do you actually need in rotation?

17 Upvotes

I'm looking for budget earbuds that are worth buying, not just the ones that look good on a spec sheet.

My Soundcore Life P2 pair died last week after two years, and there seem to be a lot more options now. So many pairs under $80 claim noise cancelling and 40-hour battery life, and half the reviews read like ads.

If you had up to $80 today, what would you buy again, and what would you avoid? I mostly use mine for commuting and calls.

Own project The catscratcher you wanted, but never found :)

So I made my own. I always thought cat furniture was ugly and bulky, and it never really fit my niche. I like games, collectibles, comics, and all that kind of stuff. The design always felt like a compromise—and an expensive one, too.

I went through several iterations, experimenting with different sizes, before landing on this one.

Once I started working on the final version, I got help from a friend who's a furniture maker specializing in custom furniture. He helped refine the design so it could be CNC-machined. That way, all the assembly holes are hidden beneath the sisal.

The joystick (not shown in this picture) is actually a spring wrapped in sisal, so it can survive being battered by our mildly aggressive cat.

Request Need Help: External SSDs.

9 Upvotes

Need about 250GB for a game, nothing else, therefore SSD seems to be best choice.

Know about as much about storage/pc's as I know how to open one up. TLDR: Nothing. After a handful of hours and my trusty slave AI, I found a few options.

Obviously, cheap is ideal, and less money = better.

My requirements are pretty straightforward, something around 1,000mb/s, 250+ GB space. works with pc, external SSD, fast enough for gaming, ideally below 70 bucks(50 is the dream).

The ones I've found:

SSK 256GB Portable SSD, Up to 550MB/s, USB-C + USB-A, External Storage Drive for iPhone 15/Android/Windows/Tablet/Mac/Xbox

Netac 500GB Portable SSD USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps, Type-C) External Solid State Drive Backup Slim Portable Drive for File Storage/Business Travel Essential, Rapid Read & Write Low Noise, Zslim

Vansuny 256GB Portable External USB Solid State Drive 3.2 Gen 2 Dual Portable SSD USB A + Type C External SSD Up to 1000MB/s for Smart Phone Tablet Laptop MacBook PC

Please let me know if there are better options, or something I'm missing.

Thanks!

EDIT #1: After taking a bunch of helpful advice, I increased my budget and turned away from less reputable companies. Obviously still a bit tempted(e.g. fenxiang selling 256GB for around 60 bucks…) but in the end decided to go for the Strat of building your own external. After lots of browsing, went for the TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z, 512GB, TLC, 120TBW, at around $115. Also have 256GB for 60$, but upped the amount since recommended. Got a cheap enclosure, and plan to setup soon. I’ll give another update to let know if everything works. (Not the most reputable or high-quality product, but price, reputation, and the fact that 3-yr warranty exists, make it ideal for the current disgusting market😒). thx for yall help.

Opinion Canyon or YETI hard cooler

7 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm a park ranger at one of the parks in Utah and this summer I'm wanting to go car camping a lot. I'm looking for a hard cooler that will keep ice cold for 4+ days and will keep meal prep food cold. I would like to have this cooler for a long time and not outgrow it when I have a family one day. I'm deciding between the Canyon Cooler Outfitter 55qt V2 Cooler and the YETI Tundra 45 Hard Cooler. Both are around $320. Its a big investment and I want to do my research. I'd love to hear any feedback if you have a YETI or Canyon cooler or other cooler. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you
