What's your beef with tp-link? Using a 16 port managed switch at home and gig powerlinks had no bother.

Very bad failure rate... almost as bad as Belkin

Or one of those rotating toaster things you usually find in premier inns. Where toast goes in at top on a conveyor and comes out bottom perfect

They're the best toasters around... toast it quick enough to keep the middle of the bread still soft... slow home toasters tend to dry out the bread.

But like others have said - you put bread in a toaster

Glad it's not just me that appreciates those toasters

Wot - those things never seem to de-bread uncooked toast to an acceptable level, it's either anemic or burnt through :confused:

It's a toaster for **** sakes. It cooks bread.

We have a mixture of unmanaged 16-24 port switches at work in various offices from Cisco, Netgear and TP-Link. Only some of the Netgear ones have failed over the years.

You're always going ot get a few bad apples with anything. I've only read good things about the higher end TP-Link switches and access points really.

Well toasting hardly qualifies as cooking. It toasts.

Well you're not wrong. It makes it sound even more brutal, like something you do have you've just clubbed a few things with your club.

Black Friday purchase, still undecided.

TBF, its decent. Powerful enough to replace a proper vaccum, small enough to tuck away and cordless so you can clean awkward places and your car with it.

A few jobs ago i dealt with RMA returns of electrical goods and tech stuff. I will say that with vacuum cleaners, you pay for what you get and though Dyson comes with a price premium, the average return rate and age of faulty units do reflect the price even if not directly proportionally.

Clipsey · 6 Dec 2016 at 16:54

Yeah it vacuums great however it's a lot smaller than I thought it would be. The canister is tiny. This is not to replace a main hoover, so I'm not sure I want to spend this amount on something to sweep the kitchen here and there.
Our house is way to big for such a small canister.

Avenged7Fold · 6 Dec 2016 at 16:58

Ours is mainly just to do the upstairs, which has wooden floor in the hall and the car/outhouse, so does not get that much milage but the milage it get saves a lot of ag.

The main vacuum is just too big to lug around. All depends on whether you think the trade is worth it. I personally would spend that money on other things but I don't do much vacuuming, so it is not my decision

It's quicker to empty it when it fills up, whether itnidnper room or per floor than to lug a corded vacuum cleaner around.

Very true, this is what I liked about it, you grab, run around quickly and done.
That's why I'm in two minds

Today I had some coffee ground on the counter when making coffee.

I could have got a towel, wet it, wiped it or get a small hand brush or...Dyson.

I chose the Dyson, it got all the gaps under the coffee grinder, collected it neatly.

Derek W · 6 Dec 2016 at 17:42

Bought a new telly.

This is what I envision.
We have 2 dogs and hardwood floors, quickly running it over them every day is much easier with this I predict.

Not sure how it compares to the DX700 series, but I tried a DX700 series Panasonic TV recently and I was underwhelmed at best.
