Reply to Might be a dumb question sorry, but is it possible we may be able to get an iPhone that doesn’t require charging eventually some day? by bigguys45s

One day.... battery technology is getting huge investments over the past decade with electric vehicles where more power in less space/weight is critical. Once achieved, it will trickle down to electronics, much like how litium did from NiCD and NiMH did years ago. But I wouldn't expect it until iPhone XX :)

Until then, consider an external battery. Like Apple's Battery Pack that uses the wireless MagSafe to charge:

Reply to comment by Cats_books_soups in Cordless vacuum recommendations? by Cats_books_soups

I would see the costs to repair, I think that's worth investigating..esp given it's 2 years old only and the lithium battery is still new.

I'll be honest, not a fan of dirt devil if you decide to get another. It's like the Black & Decker for power tools. In all reviews and Consumer Reports, it's never in the top ten or even 15. LG, Hoover, Dyson, Shark, Samsung, Bissell, etc are the ones who excel at and invest in improving.

Reply to Cordless vacuum recommendations? by Cats_books_soups

Our Hoover is probably 15 years old, and Dyson about 4 years and neither has issues. Parts are easily found online (batteries and the canister button popped off the dyson v6) I found with cordless vacuum over the years that it has to be at least $50+ to be decent given the batteries inside alone are worth more than some cheap ones off Amazon. Perhaps these days maybe 70 even. Is this a cheap one off amazon for $18 or a pricey one?

If looking for a new one with the pole style, consider the LG.

Reply to My father has developed asthma in his mid 50’s and I think an air purifier in his bedroom would be really good for him. Do you have any recommendations? by C_A_N_G

All air purifiers use HEPA filters, so they'll do a great job in filtering. You can even get a household fan and slap on a HEPA filter since it's all about pushing air through a filter. It's all about design, costs of new filters (and how long they last which is typically just based on size/surface area, and specs such as CADR which measures how much clean air it can purify.

Coway Airmega (the one that usually always wins in reviews), Levoit (small size for rooms with decent CADR), Honeywell (often used in offices), Blueair and SmartAir all do very well so choose based on specs, price and design. I always loved Coway Airmega and Levoit 300 personally but seeing tosernameschescksout's suggestion of smartairtfilters looks very impressive - both in design and in CADR performance, and price.
