    Online School with TV as screen, how to make it happen?

    How about replacing the TV with a Samsung M5/M7 monitor instead? https://www.amazon.in/Samsung-Monitor-Netflix-Streaming-LS27AM500NWXXL/dp/B08XB47V8K Regarding mic setup, the simplest option is to use a phone/tablet with a desktop mic and connect to the same zoom meeting room. This would...

    Vacuum cleaner for home

    Dyson sells two V7 variants in India, V7 animal and V7 Trigger. Trigger is just a V7 animal without the wand/floor brush, intended to be used like a handheld vacuum. Trigger is officially sold for 20k, but I'd suggest V7 animal over this. Vacuum wars is a really good channel with detailed and...

    Yeah, it's worth the price, but you may take a look at Dyson V7 Animal as well. It was on sale for 20k on Flipkart and with the card offer, it comes down to the same 19K I guess. When Roidmi announced pre-orders in India last year, F8 came with both soft roller and hard roller brush. Later they...

    Smart speaker/smart display reviews

    In fact, I had a similar requirement of casting music across several rooms in low volume. Had various echo devices in the group setup, before I got the Mi ones on offer. I have two of these Mi speakers connected in stereo mode and the soundstage of these is too good for the price. They sound...

    True, it's indeed difficult to find good upholstery vacuums below 10k. Standard brushes can only pick up surface dust, irrespective of strong suction. A roller brush is needed to agitate the deeply embedded dust on upholstery. Almost a carbon copy of Dyson V7 visually. Probably a rebranded...

    Review Bosch SMS60L12IN Dishwasher Review

    That's the first instance of rust I've heard of. We extensively use our Hawkins stainless steel cookers almost every day and several stainless steel cutlery. White spots would appear sometimes, but tweaking the rinse aid dispense settings would fix it usually. If you note down the cost of...

    Review Bosch SMS60L12IN Dishwasher Review

    Have extensively used both. With a relatively soft water source, there is not much difference between Finish/Fortune. But for very hard water, I found Finish to be marginally better. We too mostly use Fortune tablets. Indeed we can, it's a standard connector and in fact, I've done the swapped...

    What is your regular use case or intended usage? Floor vs carpet cleaning. Upholstery/furnishing cleaning. Deep cleaning/light everyday usage. Blower function?

    Vacuum cleaner for home

    This is exactly the reason why I kept saying that you have been connecting every point to PowerPro, getting defensive and not thinking in terms of the generic pros/cons of a product category. Even the smallest of the vacuums with paltry suction power can easily clean corners with a crevice tool...

    Review Bosch SMS60L12IN Dishwasher Review

    Unfortunately True. On Bosch, it's an integrated unit, i.e. circulation pump with a heating element in a single unit. But this has been the case since 2017 units as well, not sure which older models had a separate heating element though. Fortunately, both of our dishwashers are going good so...

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    The difference is night and day in terms of the recorded audio quality. Unlike the muffled sound of inbuilt mics, mic output from BoomPro sounded more open and crystal clear. It does provide some amount of passive noise cancellation, but this being a unidirectional microphone, it picks up the...

    The point here is simple. The discussion started with vacuum cleaners in general and you turned this into Philips power pro vs the rest of the world thread. On one hand, you say this and then you do the same. In fact, no one had anything against your choice of vaccum, everyone is sharing...

    Don't know which 3Kg cordless vacuum you are referring to, but from my hands-on experience with several decent cordless ones. Dyson V11 body, which I know is the heaviest of all Dyson models before it, weighs 1.8 Kgs. V7 or V8 easily weighs considerably less compared to V11 as the bin and...

    It's the other way round, cordless ones are easy to reach everywhere, specially the areas close to ceiling or cleaning the fans. The hose on the corded ones is the limiting factor as it's tethered to the base unit. Corded ones can only reach specific heights even with extension hoses and not...

    Vacuum cleaner for home

    I think cordless vacuums and Robo Vacuums makes are more practical options these days. Being an OCD guy, I had my fair share of vacuum cleaner purchases from a 20 year old BPL canister vacuum to Dyson V11, several Eureka Forbes, Karcher models in between. The convenience of a cordless vacuum is...

    Got this from Headphonezone. VModa boom pro has been around for several years now. In fact, this combination has been recommended by many as an alternative to gaming headsets. I thought I cannot source these in India until I found one on Headphonezone. Surprisingly a March 2021 manufactured...
