Which one is really better Robocut Model-r3c or Flowbee ? Both currently have 4.5 star rating. Does anyone have unbiased recommendation as to which is better?Thanks.

Well, I went with the Robocut automatic model because I read several posts saying the Flowbee doesn't work well for curly or wavy hair. I have wavy hair. They also said it is less noisy than the Flowbee.It works alright, nothing special. I have to turn up the suction power in the vacuum because of my wavy hair I guess. This makes it a bit noisy. If this is "quiet" compared to the Flowbee, I don't even want to know what the Flowbee sounds like.Perhaps they mean the noise from the cutter, then yes, that's OK, not so noisy like the included vacuum. If I had known about the vacuum noise I would have purchased the manual model and use my own vacuum which is really quiet.

I have the robocut and like one commented the motor overheats and stops after a few minutes of use. I also notice that the motor is slowing down even after replacing blades and oiling. I will be changing to flowbee soon to try it out.

I have owned the Robocut for about 13 months, using it about 25 times at the most. It's now making a kind of thumping/grinding noise and I'm looking to replace it with a Flowbee, hoping that it will last better than the Robocut. The Robocut is kind of funky in my opinion. The manufacturing quality is not that great and the "precision" sliding tube, which relies on little plastic bumps to hold it's position, has been getting looser as time goes on. I'm hoping the Flowbee will be a higher quality piece of machinery!

Traxxas makes many great RC cars, and this is one of them. Check YouTube, it is water resistant but not waterproof. There are some cool videos about how water resistant they are. I think the box said it went up to 32 mph. My 8 and 10-year-old can control it pretty easily, but it is pretty stinking fast. The best part is if/when they break something, you can buy replacement parts for pretty cheap. You can also make upgrades because there are so many aftermarket parts out there. This is not an RC car that you would buy from a toy store. This is a hobby grade RC car. It is worth the money!!! Highly recommend.

Looks like Taz 5 is listed directly from lulzbot and not through matterhackers. Buy the Taz 5 obviously. It has some nice upgrades from the 4.

I find this device is better than Flexsmart. I used Flexmart but the quality of the MPOW is much better. I use it at volume 18 and the person on the other end can hear me good and i can here them good as well. I recomend the MPOW.

I got my i-sobot in late december 2008 for 95$ - so you better look around - i'm pretty sure you can get i-sobot for about 100$ It is pretty interesting unit - but as it was metched in some reviews - you are getting bored with within time.Mine one is sleeping in the box for the most of time - i'm playing with it for about 2-3 times a month) But if you are expecting friend visiting you - isobot is one of the best things that can excite your evening with friends) It moves quite alright, it cannot run - only walk. I bought it and not robosapien because isobot is more little and i liked it's design more/ there too joysticks on a remote for controlling the arms - it is really cool) the only thing i don't like much - isobot is only a toy. you cannot connect it to a computer. you cannot programme it on a low level - only using a remote. - this is the inly thinf a don't like - eveything else - i got wahat i expected and i'm pleasured with it. consider that isobot comes with 3 aaa recargable batareis and charger for them(it also can charge aa batareis) but you still need 3 aa batareis for controleer. so.that's all that i can say) Andrey, Russia)

Did any of you see the Popular Mechanix video that tested blenders? Neither the blentec or the vitamix comes out looking very good. I've been using my Kitchenaid 5-speed, which won the competition, everyday for green smoothies and it does a great job at a fraction of the cost.

This UVB45 died within 7 days for me. Would not re-buy ever. Instead look to Flowtron BK-80D much better made unit and much more powerful. I've had the BK-80D 2 summers and its working great still compared to the Stinger that lasted a week.

Hi.. I purchased the DysonC65 this past summer. I wanted/needed a vacuum that performed better and outlasted my previous 2 vacuums. After lots of research thru independent review websites, I decided to purchase the DysonC65 vacuum! I bought it thru Amazon.com and it did include a 5-year warranty! I have three area rugs, none of mine are loose weave. The first time I vacuumed with the Dyson, my rugs were not only debris free, the very unexpected surprise was the carpets looked cleaner, brighter, colors more vivid. That was a very happy feeling. I stood there looking at my rugs kinda shocked. Then looked at the canister and saw how quickly it filled up! It was getting out actual deep dirt, that my previous vacuum weren't powerful enough to pick up. There is no other explanation. The rest of our home is either hardwood, or stone. We have NO carpeting at all. The Dyson is not cheap! I too had questions and wanted to know if this would be a good investment. So far, I say, YES, definitely. We have two dogs.. one with a double coat. He sheds so much. He is a dear sweet thing so either sweeping or vacuuming up after him is worth having him in our family. I hope my experience with the DysonC65 helps you decide! Jan Cappell - Royal Oak, MI

If you looking for something in rc construction but not too worried about the overall functionality or strength, you could try the Hobby Engine brand. I bought one and personally didn't care for it so I sent it back. But if you want to spend some real money I hear that RC4WD makes a pretty good line of construction rc. But your talking a hole lotta bucks. If your just looking for a kid then just get the $54.00 1/18 scale one here on Amazon.

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.

The answer Janice Buckley gave is exactly what Actron's website gives for the difference between models.The additional features served me well already and I believe are definetly worth having. Dale Graefnitz

Funny you should ask. My 3 year old loves Rescue Bots & the robot that is sold seperately has served as one (to him). We have since gotten him the little figurines- Optimus, Bumble Bee, etc that he could use w/ the Fire City & he has really enjoyed it as a group. The figurines do fit some areas of the fire city but not all.

All of the vehicles listed are great RC's, however, it comes down to how fast you would like to go for how much money. The Volcano and Blackout (Brushed & Brushless) are both affordable and fast vehicles. The Stampede is a superior vehicle but it also costs twice as much. In our opinion the Redcat vehicles are the best value for the product received.

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.

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.

We have had the Mirra for a few months. It has ran once a week all summer long. Haven't had the others so don't have a comment on them. We really like all of the I robot products. Turn them on & let them go. Cleans like they are supposed to.

Looks like bad reviews come from buyers that purchased knock-offs from a third party seller(s). Be sure to order this one by Amazon: http://amzn.to/1Uhw78E It is about 30-40% more than fake ones but I received a genuine iRobot brand with official packaging and iRobot logo printed on the tags. Quality was exactly the same as the one that came with the robot.
