I did ask about the pass-through. They said that you can plug a XSX into the TV and it will talk to the soundbar via eARC. And then a PS5 to the soundbar and it will talk to the TV via eARC. So that's how they reckon you get 2x pass-through. Hmmm? As for fibre optic, feel like this is becoming and outdated port for them with the focus on Acoustic Link.

Yeah I believe so. They spoke to it being popular with commercial use cases, such as mopping a basketball court.

​@@motivatedtravel lol 😂 a basketball court is pretty clean 😅 what about husky shedding 🤔

Awesome!

There's movie content playing in this video - Star Wars and The Martian - and I apologise for not recording any of the sport content.

I will see if I can film a demo of it next time it gets run for you.

In terms of the type of food at each restaurant?

@@motivatedtravel Your way of describing the event. You concentrate on the experience rather than the food.

@@davemcduckful Got you! Thank you so much for the feedback! Perhaps because I was focused on the kids sense of joy.

I guess we are seeing that play out now with the crazy EOFY discounts. They're massive. Hear you on the six weeks, but they were already angry at me for taking that long. But I wasn't going to sleep on it for one night and then do a review, needed to give it at least a decent window to come to grips with it.

Cheers Kate, appreciate the comment! I hope you enjoy as much as we did.

Would you be frustrated if a Legion Go Pro came out, then they announced a LG2 shortly thereafter? Either way, battery life must go up!

@@motivatedtravel not really, I just want a bigger battery. The legion go was never heavy for me. It would be nice if Lenovo gave us options to where every time they were released, they'll have the bigger one and a little one for sale for cheap.

I tend to have both zones on the same temp for most trips, but there's some good single zones out there, too. The Companion Lithium 60L could be a good option.

@@motivatedtravel I mainly want a single zone for the larger space for larger cuts of meat.

@@TheFeist77 Makes sense!

Glad I could help! I can't honestly tell you difference in sounds as it was a fair gap between when I used them.

Thank you! I'm not too sure if the difference in actual cleaning performance is better at all. It's all about agitation, so something vibrating at a ridiculous speed would seem t provide more agitation in my mind that something rotating.

@@motivatedtravel That makes sense! I'm still leaning towards the Deebot T30 omni which has the rotating pads though. :) Appreciate the quick response!

Nice! Let us know what you think of it!

Yep, one up top and one below.

It's frustrating that they always want to set up mood lighting for these demonstrations. I did the best I could with the environment they provided.

Thank you. I actually don't generally wear shoes at all.

This is a good point. I was thinking similar things about the power cable and how it makes it a tad redundant. At least, if adding to an existing house where the power layout is already in place.

@@motivatedtravel Typically if you have a home with power box behind tv hdmi is already there too - it takes little to no effort to do both at the same time. They wanted to do one better than Samsung but it’s actually worse (judging how signal can deteriorate quickly at this close proximity). And they even charge extra for it whereas Samsung isn’t. A flop no doubt. M3 was offered on British market whereas they didn’t even bothered with M4. I hope it will motivate them to create a version with single thin cable that carries power as well, instead of just dropping this completely.

Oh, I hadn't heard that one.

Thank you! As long as it has an HDMI port, I think you'll be fine, yeah. Makes a non smart TV, smart.

Lol, yeah, masters of the pitch.

It'll always be honest from me. I did get some hands-on time with the Eufy Mach V1 Ultra. I never put the video live as I never got the review unit to finish it off. However, I will put that live for you tonight so you can see it in action. Was a while ago that I filmed it, but my memory is that I didn't like how much water it dropped on the ground whenever you tried to move it. Ultimately, I think the Mach V1 is probably more versitile with its steam function and ability to go over rugs and the like, but not as good at pure mopping. Given the price similarities, I can see the argument for the Eufy.

@@motivatedtravel appreciate the feedback will wait for the vid :) thanks

Yes it should fit as it's under a 6" screen.

Very keen to hear your thoughts once you've been on it for a while. The refund policy is great, I agree!

I think you chose correctly. I would not describe Origin Lumbarcloud as plus feeling. It's not "very" firm as it cushioned on top, but it's definitely more firm than the Sleep Republic.

That's interesting. Just relooked through the UI, and definitely cannot see that feature. I do wonder how many "features" De'Longhi holds back on given it has so many entries in the space. It needs to - perhaps artificially - create points of differentiation. That could just be my inner cynic.

Yeah, it's such a nice little bonus.

I just put up a whole bunch of content about the Sony Bravia range this year. They do look good, especially the Bravia 9.

@motivatedtravel Too late for me, I ordered the bravia 7 but no stock anywhere in the UK, so on Tuesday my LG G4 arrives. 6 year free warranty, 5 year LG panel warranty and a free LG G1 soundbar

@@Arseverse The G4 is a strong TV and the soundbar is a nice bonus. Sounds like you've done alright.

About 6 weeks for me. Depends on how many visitors you get. Mine goes off around 20 times a day, and I got about 6 weeks give or take.

Are you saying that syncing up 5 of them doesn't give a 5 speaker surround sound feeling?

Especially as the contrast and brightness catches up, it's a decent argument.

I haven't seen this one, but I will reach out to them and see if they are interested in a review so that I can add it to the mix. They look good!

Thank you so much, glad to hear you like them!

That's the 98"in the video, but I think much of the review is relevant to all sizes in the QN90D range. The light strip is a Hue strip. So a third-party.

Which hue strip? The play gradient or the regular hue gradient strip? I’m going to purchase this exact TV and I’m interested to see how you arrange me the lights.

@@alpha4life Unfortunately I don't know, I didn't set the TV up. It was set up by Samsung. Looking at them online, maybe it was the gradient.

No worries, glad you enjoyed it!

I'll have to take your word on that, lol.

It's a 120Hz refresh rate, and it has 144Hz motion rate. My understanding is that 120Hz is your native refresh rate, but the AI can bump it up to 144Hz artificially.

Cheers Stephen, I appreciate you letting me know!

Cheers mate, apprecaite you letting me know. Glad it could help.

I assume you're referring to the S95D? Guess you'd want to be mitigating a very glarey environment.

I'm really sorry, but I don't quite understand what you're asking here? It sounds like it's a technical support query? IP protection is about water and dust, not wind. You might need to contact Shokz directly for advice if you think there is an issue.

It does seem like a very niche use case, doesn't it.

@@motivatedtravel I am not sure about it , Time will tell how reliable this box is for the long run.

Definitely a lot of consumer choice

Thank you for the feedback. Glad to hear that about the customer service. I didn't need to use them in the end, so helpful for other viewers to know that they at least were responsive.

Really?! Very interesting fedback. I haven't had any issues with it bumping into furniture. Is it a glass cabinet? Maybe a reflection issue? But either way, good to hear more about other experiences.

@@motivatedtravel nope. Just a regular cabinet. Or I should say entrance cabinet. 2in clearance and it just bumps into it. It LOVES strings. Picks up pet hair horribly. Mopping isn’t picking up anything tough. Loves to get stick on clothes. Extremely disappointed in this robot. I think my S6 did a better job vacuuming pet hair from carpets to be honest.

@@investmentanalyst779 I'm finding mine works alright with Pet Hair. Not happy with how easily it clogs though, that's my biggest problem. It clogs, doesn't tell you, and then does a really bad job until you realise and un-clog it.

@@motivatedtravel I perform maintenance every weekend. It will work if you pickup and shoes with loose laces and any strings. It’s super advanced AI can’t detect strings, which is sad. 😔 $1800 piece of junk. On the positive side :D if I manually vacuum first and have the robot vacuum after, it’ll leave those nice clean carpet streaks in areas we have carpet. :D can’t wait to get rid of this carpet. New construction homes wanted to charge $40,000 for vinyl 😂 I’ll buy and install myself.

The staff I spoke to seemed to enjoy working there, how was your experience? (Were you there when I was there in November 2023?)

@@motivatedtravel that was so awesome. I've worked there for 12 years since before its opening.. I will come back there this years as a GM.. 🥰🥰

@@motivatedtravel i resigned on 2009

Looks like it could make waves.

It does seem like there is an effort being made by companies to meet the cost of living crisis with cheaper retail. I've noticed this in a few categories. But yes, the X2 Omni should be cheaper you'd think. On paper, the T30 seems to have met the X2 Omni (where the T20 didn't)

So glad to hear that, thank you for letting me know!
