    I am looking at getting a new cordless stick vacuum. Can someone post ratings from consumer reports for me please? Much appreciated.

    Yeah they do a really nice job. They had all sorts of vendors there and you got to just go around pick what you wanted from Blue Delta jeans, to golf clubs, to laptops, kayaks, shit there was so much fucking stuff.

    Do not buy the Dyson, that wireless vacuum is a terd. Battery went on ours three times and smells horrific after a few uses. I tried many different things to make it smell better. Ultimately ended up in the trash and bought a small corded vacuum instead. I can get make model if you’d like, was CR recommended.

    I've had a dyson for 6 or 7 years and it's been good for me. Had to replace the battery once and went with a generic on amazon since the OEMs are like half the price of a new one, but that's been kicking for years

    I have a dyson stick vacuum. Works fine for spot cleaning. Doesn’t have the power or battery life to be a primary but that’s what corded vacuums are for.

    Yeah, our Dyson we have had for awhile and its on it's last leg. Might go the Shark route, we have a corded vacuum but use the stick vacuum for quick stuff.

    As Name P. Redacted mentioned, there is a specific use case for cordless sticks. You're gonna have a bad time if you use it differently, but it's great for a quick run under the table after dinner

    That's a good idea, I would like to do something similar but I would need like 2TB storage. How do you get around the limited storage?

    Edit: I see you can select a 2TB drive for $800 more.

    Let me know how you like it.

    Nice I’m sure that’s a good setup, what are you using for sub?

    I have an 85” Sony, denon AVR-x7200wa, and av123 x-mtm and x-cs encore front speakers to pair it with. I’ve had the speakers for forever and they are the weakest link but it’s for my living room and we aren’t planning on staying in this house and also have little kids so not getting new gear or putting in surrounds if I don’t have to. In my old house I had a full 13.1 Atmos setup with two sealed 18” subs.

    :beaver: at that sub in a living room.

    I'm running a rsl speedwoofer 10s because my theater room is on the same floor as my son's bedroom. Your sub is what I want once he's older. Otherwise running a denon 2300, monoprice thx lcr, and some weaker rears and ceiling speakers with a sony projector that's a little older. Upgrading that will be my next project.

    Buying outdoor gear at the end of the current season/offseason can be so much cheaper, too. REI has gear exchanges like once/month where you can get stuff for super cheap.

    Planning to buy a snowboard set-up and other snow gear this May/June when I get back to WA.
