"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."

"I use it on a construction site clipped on to my tool belt so it’s pretty much perfect"
"I am now solely using a Instago 3S right now due to the just compact size and weight. ... I am mostly shooting FPV sports for small segements and I don't even realize I'm wearing it on my hat."
"I settled for the Insta360 Go3s which allows me to record discreetly while leaving my hands free. ... Now I just place the tiny 4k camera on my cap and record my POV in my travels."

"One huge leg up for a Shark over Roomba is that the brush roller is similar to a vacuum (e.g. hard plastic), whereas the roomba is a plastic roller with a rubber cover that is DESTROYED by dog fur and you have to frequently replace."
"the only robot vacuum that didn’t clog or burn out was the self emptying shark one. ... it’s been going three years strong."

Albsantos 1.0I have the 1060, used off FB marketplace,is my second projector, and I love it. It’s been a good reliable unit, used for Xbox and sports. I get lights and bulb housing off AliExpress for about $15, lasting anywhere from 500 to 700+ right now for my second bulb. I don’t know anything about the 3800. But used, for $400, seems a little high to cheapskate me. See if you can get the, to knock off a bit more.
AV_Integrated 1.0Decent deal. Not very good contrast on the 1060, but plenty bright enough and should be a good experience.
billbixbyakahulk 1.0They're both great projectors in their respective classes. The 3800 is 4k, has much better contrast and input lag, lens shift, 3D, and is quieter in Eco (both of these are so bright, you probably won't ever have to leave Eco). It's also a chonker compared to the 1060 at around 15 pounds and physically around twice the size. Re: curtains, I would just bite the bullet and get blackouts. Deconova makes some very affordable ones.
Kilharae 1.0I have the Epson 880 and 1080. They're both fantastic projector and some of the best values you can possibly get, especially in the 200 - $250 range, which is phenomenal value. 1060 is, as I understand it, similar to between the 880 and 1080 so I would absolutely recommend it.

Lowbider 1.0I usually replace my 1060 bulbs at 3000 hours they start to get dimmer at round 3000 hours And I run it on ECO mode.
Minimum-Patient-9119 1.0Guys, don’t buy the cheap $100-$200 new projectors they are all garbage compared to the real deal. This epson cinema 1060 was on offer up for $200, released in 2017 it’s “old”. This image you’re seeing is base model iPad a16 connected to a VGA - USB C cable. This is a bright room it’s 10 in the morning and it’s just a beige painted wall. I can’t get over it. I had picked up what I thought was a great deal at Best Buy, $120 normally $250 Vankyo. Lumens were like 170 and this is like 3000 hahah. Also the light bulbs you can replace. GET A USED REAL PROJECTOR WITH BULBS it’s an unreal amount better.
MoHawk3141986 1.0The previous homeowner of my house painted a border and painted the inside with Valspar "cinema screen" - I have a Epson HomeCinema 1060 projecting onto it.
nothing_etal 1.0Agree re: price. We got our other 1060 for $275 a few years ago off FB marketplace and it came with the mount and an HDMI audio extractor...it would definitely hurt spending $150 more for the same projector and fewer add-ons
reddchap 1.0I would pay the extra money for the 3800. The 1060 is an entry level projector that weighs about 6 pounds and uses a 210 watt bulb. The 3800 is mid level and weighs about 15 pounds and uses a 245 watt bulb. You will have better contrast and more color saturation with the 3800. Assuming you keep the projector for several years, there isn't much difference in costs per year.
RowdyRodyPeeper 1.0Great deal. I have a 3800 in my home theater but have a 1060 for outdoor usage, primarily for the side of a building at the bar I manage. I actually have two 1060s in case one dies on me. The throw on the 1060 is a bit shorter. Perfect for what I'm using it for. https://preview.redd.it/r2zd4hwrnw8f1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a047de06b62109a5aec83e96075d0d13ff6f811
