"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"Can't see it at all! ... it is 100% hidden away. ... if it wasn't for seeing the bottom .25" of the back camera you wouldn't know it's there"
"Super easy. ... Took about 20-30 minutes"
"Was easily able to run the wires on the top, press it behind the header with the spudger they gave and make it look nice. Then on the liftgate theres a plastic cover panel you can take off to bundle the extra wire and make the drop to the camera really nice and clean."

"But both work great and I would 100% get front and rear."
"The picture quality day or night is fantastic."
"Last month got rear ended by person on the phone. ... I downloaded the event clip from the mobile app and was able to show the video to the police on the spot. ... The other driver got a ticket for using the phone."

"i have had the BlackVue DR970x Plus which proved bulletproof during the hottest Summer on record last year. my credit cards and ID’s all had to be replaced because they melted and warped, but the BlackVue keeps running without issues."
"my VIOFO A119 V3 has been going strong for the past 4+ years with no issues in the heat."
"it can't be beaten in the Australian heat here"

"What I think IS A MUST, especial for "wawing" social posts, COLORGRADING. And for this, you need a drone that suports D-cime/DLOG/DLOGM video mode, which give alot of flexibility how the shot will end up after post processing - this is a big part!! This mods start with Mini3 pro forward"
"Have you tried shooting in HLG on your A3S? I use this for better results at night. ... HLG is only 100-1600 but definitely gives a better looking result. ... I post process color grading HLG to HDR and looks way better than night mode because you get a larger dynamic range of colors and light to shadows from the original video done in HLG."
"Picture quality is the best I've had"

"It does NOT handle the Florida heat at all. ... Constant shutdowns while driving and parked have rendered it absolutely useless. ... Viofo's solution? Kick it down to 1080 / 2k and hope works. It did not. ... The camera is seriously flawed."
"Garmin Mini 2 purple video. There are tons of reports of this happening and mine started doing this about 2.5 years in. ... If u press on the glass of the camera it goes away and then comes back a bit later while driving."
"I don’t think I can ever trust that it’s recording again without seeing the screen pop on briefly few a few seconds."

"The rear camera died at 13 months which stopped the front from recording. ... They wanted me to pay $40 for a replacement rear cam though it was still in warranty."

"I ended up buying another one as I wanted a 4K camera."
"It will also be 1080p not 4K."
Responsible_CDN_Duck 0.2RedTiger is a waste of money at any price. Fake reviews and paid placement help con people into buying. Viofo has a lot of fans on the sub, but you gotta use one of the two compatible cards and format monthly.
trampled93 0.2I would take a look at r/dashcam for advice, but VIOFO is a commonly recommended brand. I have a VIOFO A129 plus dual channel and like it a lot, but they have newer models to choose from.
TwoBootDisk 0.2I mean this in the general sense, I have the A129 Plus with rear, get whatever. Many dash cams are going to have similar video quality at same price point. What you want to look for is how it will mount, will it block vision, do you need app connectivity, does it have a parking mode. Features like that, whatever is important to you. It's great to have amazing camera quality, but I've always looked at dash cams as a way to just prove a crash wasn't at fault. I always say get one that uses adhesive to mount, since I've always had issues with suction cup ones. Then use something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C49F8NVQ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 to mount it to. It makes it easier to remove and is safe for tint. Also make sure it has loop recording, for some reason it isn't standard on every dash cam? I had one with amazing quality but I found out a few weeks later that the SD card got full over a week ago, and needed to be cleared once a week.
69AssociatedDetail25 0.2I've not got a rear camera, but I'm more than happy with my Viofo A129 Plus. They've sponsored a few YouTube channels, so you can probably get a discount through one of their promo codes.
Yeah they're not cheap, but worth it in my opinion. I think they're also the only brand to use capacitors instead of batteries, which gives me some extra confidence that my car won't randomly catch fire on a hot day.
bsibe2006 0.2I just ordered this with a viofo a129 plus from them for my 23 premium. Hopefully I got the right adapter.
bstyledevi 0.2I've got the Viofo A129 Plus (front cam only). I've had it in three different cars now and haven't had an issue yet. Fits perfectly up behind the rearview mirror so it's not always in your face. The app leaves a little to be desired, but you get what you pay for. Video quality is great.

Complete_Gear_7063 0.2Viofo 129 plus with hardwire kit
CrypticClif 0.2Viofo brands are very reliable and one of the most common ones. I have the Viofo 129 because I figured 1440p was enough quality, and I wasn't wrong. The one above is 4k resolution. Easy install and even easier to tuck the wires. If you care enough though, their hardwiring is a seperate buy, but i heard most dash cams being hardwired in tend to always trickle battery power no matter what.
deathbatdrummer 0.2This is just straight up false. [Almost EVERYONE is Wasting Money on Dash Cams.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AnyhHl3_tE) Personally use a Viofo 119v3, which is 150ish. Superb dashcam, and if you want one with a rear cam too you can get the a129 plus for under 300.
Emotional-Start7994 0.2I have a Viofo A129 Plus 1440p front, and 1080p rear. Very discreetly tucked away behind my rear view mirror. I've had it for over 2 years now and it still works great. It has a GPS base which also provides power. And I have a polarising filter that clips over the lens too which helps reduce dashboard reflections (was a separate purchase). They now do an A329 which you may want to look at which is 4K and even better quality than the A129 (and A229). However it's quite expensive at just under £350.
