Which one is really better Robocut Model-r3c or Flowbee ? Does anyone have unbiased recommendation as to which is better?

For what it's worth, I've used both. I initially purchased the Robocut and used it for six months. After the first hair cut I noticed that the unit would stop working after twenty minutes of use. After quite the hassle, I spoke with a representative and they said that it shouldn't take me that long to cut my hair and that the motor was probably overheating. They agreed to send a replacement which sadly overheated more frequently than the original. I "bit the bullet" and just accepted that I would have to take breaks after cutting each section of my hair. I thought perhaps it was due to my overly-thick hair which I often grow out long. After the sixth month it completely stopped working. I decided to give the Flowbee a try, and after reading several message boards opted to go ahead and purchase the vacuum as well. It's made a WORLD of difference. Immediately I noticed it seemed to cut the hair easier and it never stops running during the haircut. I must say though that I do highly recommend getting their vacuum as well. I've hooked it up to both our household vacuum along with my shopvac, and their small (yet powerful) unit does a much better job. The only drawback is their vacuum is quite loud. I do not think this affected the performance of either unit, but the Robocut uses a spinning blade while the Flowbee uses a blade that cycles back and forth. My Flowbee (with vac) is now on it's third year and second pair of blades. Honestly, the worst part about owning a Flowbee is that once the word is out you will have people coming over asking for a free hair cut! I would get a Flowbee over a Robocut hands-down, but make sure you go ahead and purchase the vacuum with it.

The only difference in the models of BotVac (70e, 75, 80, 85) is the supplies (brushes and filters) packed in the box. You can always buy the least expensive BotVac now, and get the supplies later. Compared to the older model XV, the Botvac runs a lot longer on one charge, covers a lot more territory, moves faster and more efficiently and is about 10 db quieter. Unlike the XV, it navigates my open floor plan without getting stuck in a continuous loop. I have only had the BotVac for a week, and use it on a combination of hardwood and carpeting. Now that the batteries are fully conditioned, the BotVac runs two hours, then it recharges for about an hour, then it runs for one more hour to finish my whole place of 2500 square feet. The old model ran for 45-50 minutes per charge and would never finish my whole place in three runs. I had to have two Neato XVs running at the same time to do the job, (starting from opposite ends of my floorplan). So one BotVac does the job of two XVs, and does a better job of picking up crumbs as well.

I say brushless they have more power and have great take off power with the right esc and battery (I advise lipid battery) I've had my volcano epx pro for about 2 weeks and I'm impressed by it factory but I already upgraded my motor, esc and my gears and I can say mine runs about 65mph and I love it Great beginner rc

I was looking for and couldn't find a nextar P3 review either, but I ended up buying it anyway and I posted the review last night--just search the nextar P3 on amazon and it should be posted by now. Basically I think it's a great unit, but I've never owned a tom tom so I can't compare to that specifically. The nextar was super easy to setup and figure out as well.

I had mine for three months before return it. During that time, it returned to the base about twelve times. It has problem in the dark as it seem. I have the irobot 780 for six months now and the robot found the base everytime. If you run it at night, I would go with the irobot. Irobot have 15 percent off their 800 series now.

I emailed Neato regarding the different models and they promptly replied with this response. Hopefully this will help others who are wondering about this. Thank you for contacting Neato Robotics Customer Care. Mechanically and functionally, the XV-11, XV-12, XV-14, and XV-21 are all the same robot. The main difference between all the robots is their color. The XV-21 is the only robot that comes with a new brush and filter, which is centered towards pet owners and allergy sufferers. This updated brush and filter, also known as the Pet & Allergy Upgrade Kit, can be purchased separately and used with all existing robot models. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

The Apec RO-90 has a much higher flow rate. I can fill a pitcher of water in seconds not minutes. For me it was well worth the extra cost. I had a$1,500 Kenetico system before buying the RO-90. The RO-90 is much better. Water quality is running about 20tds and tastes great.

If you are new to 450 size and 3d flight, I think the RTF is good. I would recommend replacing the gyro. I replaced the stock unit with Spartan Quark and I love it.

Sorry for the delay I have been overseas. The robot that I purchased works well with 3 star Stiga balls. 1 star were too heavy and 4or 5 star are vastly too expensive. The three star works well. Thanks Andy C.

I have no idea. both of my children have older model Robots and they are great. I was very frustrated with the Whiskers Model and returned it. It got stuck every few minutes and I would have to redirect it.

I have used the Yongnuo transceivers. The batteries drain faster than the PocketWizard. They have a shorter range. And the connectors are not very reliable. The PocketWizard is a much better build and has features that the Yongnuo does not have. If you want to go cheap, you get what you pay for.

I own at least one if not more of each of these blasters and I say go with the new Deploy CS-6. It has a pump action style like the Raider but in the same price range as the Recon. Some complain about the handle but I think it is cool that it can pop-out to a blaster. In a indoor war though having a short barrel helps get you you on target faster, try out the Firefly.

I received the Uno R3. The bundle contains mostly everything you need to get started with prototyping except the actual circuit components (leds, resistors, capacitors, etc.). Definitely useful if you're just getting started.

Chris, a number of reviews (mine included) list suggested components. The beauty of an R/C kit is that *you* get to build and customize it to suit your needs. That said, I know that the Grasshopper is aimed for beginners and beginners don't always know everything they need. You might be best served by purchasing an XB (expert build) version of a Tamiya car. The Grasshopper XB is ASIN: B000FGBME2. It comes with all you need to run it. Other brands of R/C cars call these types of cars RTR or "ready to run". If you still want to build this car and do it as cheaply as possible I suggest the following items: Futuba Attack 2DR remote ASIN: B000ZMATRC Tenergy batteries (X2) and a charger ASIN: B001BKPAR6 Highly suggest that you get a sealed ball bearing kit ASIN: B00MOD2F68 While the Grasshopper is *supposed* to ship with an electronic speed control (ESC) some vendors are pulling the ESC to sell sepertely which IMHO is dishonest. If you don't get the ESC you're supposed to I suggest this one by Neewer. ASIN: B00CIPTPRY I've been using it with my Grasshopper and it works quite well. Contrary to what Miguel stated, the car does ship with a motor. It's a type 380 which is not as fast as the more standard type 540 but is great to learn on and provides much longer battery life per charge. If/when you outgrow the 380 you can simply buy a type 540 and 18t pinion gear and upgrade your 'hopper.

the mio c320 is better for intermediate to advanced users, and the tomtom is really made for novices (grandpa, mom who doesn't know how to use computers very well, etc.). the c320 can be customized to a great extent, and alot more poi's can be added. the tomtom lacks these customization features. in my opinion, this is the selling point for the unit. the price (if you can get it for less than 200) is another one. i got it for $150 on black friday, but i've seen it sold for $170 recently (around christmas time). i do not know how much the unit costs now, however.

I had the same question - if you google it, you can find a video explaining the differences. In brief, the 3 is the newer model. It looks better, and it's got some minor updates that are mostly cosmetic. Just like the one before it, performance will vary based on type and age of milk you use.

I did and do! In fact, I had three Littermaids (one after another, after each one broke), and now own two Litter Robots for my three cats. I also have cleaned a Littermaid monthly for years, and can tell you the Litter Robot is a LOT cleaner and easier to clean when you want to do it. The old Littermaids (before they became really bad quality) weren't bad. My first one broke because the line (that cord that used to stick out when the rake went forward) frayed and eventually broke. The two that followed both had the motors go, since I had a 19-pound male with kidney issues and the clumps were just too large and heavy for the motor. The current Littermaids (and I think the company is now defunct) have terrible motors, cheap plastic tray bottom, and don't get everything into the waste tray. I do not recommend them, period. Litter Robot: I have had one for about 6 years now, and the second one for about two years (when I got a third cat, decided we needed two). It is easy to use, easy to maintain, fits (despite looking large) in about the same footprint as a Littermaid, inexpensive to use after the initial cost (I use regular kitchen bags with flaps in the waste drawer rather than the ones they sell, and yes, you do use up less litter than the Littermaid did -- not sure how)...I LOVE my Litter Robots. My only caveat is that older cats might not want to switch into it, especially if they have never used a covered box. Customer service is fantastic (yes, I have had to send the bottom back for service), even if you are just calling with a "stupid" question. I could and have given lectures to people who stare at the spaceship in my house on why this is the best automated litter box on the market...:) A note: it says the Litter Robot is made to use all clumping litter including Swheat Scoop -- my experience living in a hot, humid climate is the very fine clumping litters don't work as well. I use Dr. Elsey's unscented clay now, and take the bag of waste clumps out of each box twice a week. If you get one, have fun!
