    Air blower recommendations

    Looking to buy an air blower for general use around the house. Need only the blower function (without the vacuum). Looking for more power (more, the better), decent-build and a corded machine. Torn between more expensive known-brands (Bosch 620W, Stanley 600W, etc.) and the cheaper ones...

    Queries related to passport

    For non-ECR, you likely need to carry a copy of your secondary school or university mark sheet (which I believe should also have your DOB in it). Right. We were recently told that both parents need to be present, for minors. Or you'll need an affidavit from the absent parent.

    Streaming Services Subscription Sharing (Except Netflix)

    Thank you, but already managed to get an account share, thanks to a gracious fellow member. Got the Hotstar account too - got one of those "mobile-only" packages on offer and used it to upgrade to a premium package (they waived 499 off)

    FS: Home Audio Video WD HD media player

    Had this back around 2010 - it ran a custom Linux kernel and was very hacker-friendly. However, the community (forums, firmware dev) has been dormant for years and I don't think it's easy to even get custom firmware anymore (I may have the brad firmware files still, if someone does buy this and...

    Flipkart deals

    Sorry no. Had already availed the clock offer and awaiting delivery. To be fair, I bought it on a whim. And if you do indeed desperately need it, would be happy for you to have it (for the same price) - you will need to arrange for it to be picked up, though.

    Exercise bike - what to buy?

    Decathlon should deliver to my location. Their range looks to cost a bit more than the average Amazon/FK machines, but will watch out for something suitable. @saidu - They do happen list some manual machines and some listed as "self-powered" (no clue what this means, but they tend to be the...

    Exercise bike - what to buy?

    Afraid I live in a small suburban town (more a village) and buying from a physical store is not really an option. Do indeed consider a cross trainer too, if I could find something good around my budget. The important thing being that the machine must be non-motorised, since power cuts are a...

    Exercise bike - what to buy?

    Looking for a mechanical (non-motorised) exercise bike. Not looking for something with too many bells and whistles - just something simple and sturdily built. And to bear up to ~75kg. Preferably something in the 10~15k range (can stretch a bit, if there's something irresistible). Just looking...

    Refurbished is often hit or miss, since you are usually unaware of the exact condition of the product. But if you could get them to reveal the condition and the reason why it is being sold refurbished, your odds are better. For instance, a slightly scratched faceplate is far better than a...

    If you do decide to look into Obage, I really suggest that you get in touch with them on Amazon. They are usually quick to respond and (IMHO) forthright with their recommendations. I believe they also sell refurbished models on their website - you may end up scoring something if you talk to them.

    Need help buying refrigerator

    Afraid I'm still on the lookout for a good deal on a 300~400L model. We did zero-in on the LG 335L (GL-T372JDS3) at Flipkart and were waiting for the price to come down a bit, which it never did. Eventually, the missus decided that we check some models at actual shops, which we will do when the...

    Kindle Unlimited. Worth subscribing?

    This was actually one of my concerns - that I would end up getting a huge pool of worthless or public domain material. A far bigger concern was not of the books I would get (since basically everything in their catalogue is available "elsewhere"), but if I would end up with a crippled service...

    Kindle Unlimited. Worth subscribing?

    Am a long-time Kindle user and usually buy from the Kindle store as well as obtain from... err... other sources. I'm now considering subscribing to the Kindle Unlimited service. On the face of it, the service appears quite good. Are there any gotchas I should worry about? Would I be able to...

    0-20k Cheap monitor with VGA/HDMI/DP

    Need the monitor to troubleshoot, access BIOS and perform installations on some headless setups that I run. Had been using an old Sony Bravia with horizontal line issues which has increasingly worsened, and is now near-impossible to read text in the console in some parts of the display. Afraid...

    Happen to own both the JBL 104 BT and the Obage HT-144. Should you decide to extend your budget a bit, you probably won't go wrong with either, at this price. As mentioned already, the JBL often goes for under 5k, and I bought the HT-144 for just over 5.5k during a recent "sale". Consider that...
