Re: What have you just bought?

Just bought a new Shark vacuum. The Mrs wanted one as the Dyson we have is getting on a bit and with the new house soon she decided it was time.

Terrible wifi connectivity.

Very happy with the ease of set up and usability - the set up process is simple & quick, and links easily to Echo devices.

My complaint is with the device wifi - I have 350Mb/s down & 35Mb/s up with Virgin Media, and get this speed consistently, and my house wifi is provided by 5 google mesh wifi hubs.

All my other devices get 250Mb+ (except Smart Bulbs and Smart Plugs, which get between 10 & 50Mb), but the Ring Stick Up Cam gets 1Mb - it’s only 12 foot from a Google Mesh hub, with one brick wall in between, with a RSSI reading of 74-79, which leads to a lag of a couple of seconds from when someone gets in the camera range to when we are notified.

Even when it was set it up, only 2 feet from the google mesh hub, I was only getting a RSSI of 34 - I’ve checked it’s on 2.4Ghz, so it’s not that.

Initially happy, now quite disappointed...

After Googling you're not the only person not happy, consider sending it back for a refund.

And you can tell her you need a PS5 for the new house too as it's only fair.

Do tell!

I'd like pans like these but at £171 for the 14 cm pan a bit pricy.

Nothing like as expensive as those you have listed although they do look nice as our latest saucepan is now known as our porridge saucepan.

Re: What have you just bought?

A new 3TB NAS to replace the old & very slow 1TB unit that only supports old network protocols that is a pain to use with Windows 10.

Re: What have you just bought?

The Apple Pencil (Gen 2) is out for delivery, should have it tomorrow. I've also bought a Behringer C-1 Studio Condenser Microphone, which should be here on Monday.

Re: What have you just bought?

A TickWatch Pro 3 - should be here later this morning. Hope it'll help me loose the extra inches I've acquired over the last 12 months. Too much comfort food and as my friend says furlough merlot.
