"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!"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."
"Like 500$ 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"

"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"they are extremely durable. ... I’ve got well over 1000 miles out of a pair and they still have grip and the uppers are in great shape"
"I've used them for 1500 miles of multi-day hiking with no issues!"

"super comfy. ... And even me at 270lbs I can sit in my side and not bottom out (inflated a lot though)"
"definitely has improved our sleep quality a lot while camping ... boyfriend has back issues so a bad sleep set up is not really an option"
"I just put up with the pinholes and patching them on trail because I can't sleep better on any other pad. ... There's a huge difference in comfort depending on your body between the dimpled baffling of the Etherlight/Tensor and the horizontal baffling of the Xlite. ... I can't sleep on horizontal baffling despite all the good features of the Xlite. ... I'm a side sleeper and my arms and shoulders ache and/or fall asleep or go numb on the Xlite. For whatver reason I can only sleep on dimpled baffles (tensor, etherlight)"

"is a great all-rounder, one of the best actually when it comes to comfort-weigh-pack size ratio."
"Tiny volume for each."
"Seems to pack even smaller than their shortest UltraLite pad (the orange one.) ... pretty packable ... still pretty small"

"I am a side sleeper and skinny/boney. It’s not super thick, but I never touch the ground."
"Static V Luxe >> Static V in terms of comfort ... it inflates a good amount and is designed to kind of hug you as you lay on it which adds to the comfort."
"I have a single that I use for backpacking and it’s pretty nice. ... I used to have a really lightweight thermarest but it wasn’t comfortable, especially for side sleeping with bad shoulders."

"Both times I’ve hiked the PCT my thermarests have popped in the desert . ... My first one had multiple holes and was a write-off."
"Inflatables take a lot of babying, they often get holes. ... If a pad pops once every 10 weeks, you’ll have to replace the pad at least twice on a thruhike. Of course, some pads don’t pop, it’s just that they often do pop or leak at some point. I don’t want to spend 100-200 dollars on something that’s gonna fail after a couple weeks. ... “ often they do pop or leak at some point” meaning most pads will pop eventually. Once it pops or leaks, even if it’s once, the pad has failed and it doesn’t effectively function unless repaired or replaced. ... Based on anecdotal personal evidence, which of course isn’t a great measure, a lot of pads pop or leak without making it through a full thruhike. One failure is too many for me. There’s no other piece of gear, besides socks and shoes, that fail as often as pads. ... I’ve had one fail in as little as 2 days and I currently have one that has yet to fail after like 70 nights🤷♂️."
"leaked out the valve all through Washington, leaving me on the ground multiple times per night, waking me up every hour or so."

"I had to return my Etherlight XT since it was too cold to use even in summer."
"Klymit is known to completely bullshit their R-value ratings. ... They had an insulated pad rated at 4.4 that they later (had to?) revise to 1.9. ... I personally wouldn't trust them. ... just stay clear of the insulated claims."
"It was so cold with my 30F quilt and a Zoom UL pad that I honestly was concerned. ... I had to spend the night running in circles and doing jumping jacks in the shelter"

"Also you use your breath to inflate them and I suspect they get pretty icky eventually. ... I try to air mine out whenever possible in the sun hoping that keeps the air chamber somewhat disinfected."
AdventureMissy 1.0Klymit Static V Luxe. I have the insulated version, and it's amazing - wide, very comfortable and warm!
flubberrubberblubber 1.06'3" 328lbs I use the Static V Luxe.
neomits 1.0> Klymit Static V Luxe 6'4" 240. I use this one.
segascott 1.0I had a Klymit Static V Luxe (the extra wide one) and while it's decent enough, I upgraded to a Sea-To-Summit Camp Plus self inflating mat, and that one is way more comfy for me (I'm a side sleeper). It has a much better R value to boot, I think 4.3 vs 1.3 for the non-insulated static V. It does take up more room in the top box but it's worth it to me for the better sleep. I think it's about the same price as well.
Spaceman_Spoff 1.0Klymit Static V Luxe. 6’ 1” 285lbs. Packs down to a soda can size if folded/packed correctly
tlchai 1.0I have a Klymit Static V Luxe air pad and a Thermarest Luxury Map XL self inflating. I don’t backpack so space/weight are not an issue. The Thermarest is way more comfortable, not to mention warmer because of the high R value.
1bourbon1scotch1bier 0.3I love my Klymit Static V insulated
Bert_Skrrtz 0.3Just make sure whatever you buy is actually ASTM tested for the R-value. So avoid Klymit for example. If it’s not ASTM tested, they can make up any number they want to. It’s night and day between my Nemo Tensor all-season and my Klymit Static-V Insulated
crevasse2 0.3I have a Klymit Static V Insulated (4.4 r value) I used on the GDMBR in 2023. I somehow managed to poke a hole through both sides including the tyvek ground cover and tent. Shit happens when you sleep on the ground. I patched it back up with the included patches and it's been fine. I consider these things to be consumable and assume I'll have to replace for whatever reason. They're just glorified pool floats. Also you use your breath to inflate them and I suspect they get pretty icky eventually. I try to air mine out whenever possible in the sun hoping that keeps the air chamber somewhat disinfected. I bought mine discounted at Sierra. Not showing online at the moment but might be in stores or this one looks like it's the same thing under a different sister brand (same copy on tag). I need to get one for wifey and I'll probably get this one.
