Uniden R3, which is many time better than my old 9500ix at detecting. 9500ix was a little more user friendly but nowhere near the same detecting ability as the Uniden.

I'm just miffed that you have to buy a separate foam filter guard to do any substantial wet vac work with it. I was able to suck up the water from the water heater because it was only a half gallon or so, but anything more would have required the foam filter. I'll have to order one or go back to Home Depot to pick one up.

You can never have too much extra storage.

I have the exact same one and loathe it.

Moving it is HELL, mind of it's own, total fucking wobblefest. Falls over relentlessly.

The suction on the wider head is non existent unless you suck up water

SO FUCKING LOUD

The clips are too small to hold the hoses in place when in blower mode

Clips are too small to hold hoses in place when you move

Did I mention moving it was a shite experience?

I haven't had any of those issues. I haven't moved it very far, though. Just around the garage. But it seems to have excellent suction.

That said, I see now I may have posted a pic of a slightly different version. Mine has a drain on the front and the one in the pic I posted does not. Plus I think mine is bigger.

While we've started to get a few sunny and warm days here in Colorado, it's still mostly cloudy. Weather outlook for Memorial Day weekend sucks... (I know - first world problems).

Same here. It is a bit loud compared to my other, small Rigid shop vac but I have a small baffle on the latter.

Wifi Mesh setup. Highly recommend and reviews.
Easy setup and tremendous coverage throughout our house.
Even though I have Cat 6 all over, we have so many wireless devices using the internet that this was a must. Overall very pleased.

Since some nipplehead decided to cut out my catalytic converter a few weeks ago. (in both the rain and broad daylight), I took steps to prevent that happening again.

Cat protector-- it's not foolproof, but it'll sure slow somebody down.

Did mechanics manage to weld the cat back into place with added tubes or did you get full system.

Cat prices in CO have skyrocketed since the beginning of the year when CO began following CA's CARB restrictions-- a regular "EPA Approved" cat is no longer good enough.

The CARB cats? Tripled the price of the repair.

It cost about $2000 to have a new cat welded inline where the old one was-- and after checking several shops, that was a "reasonable" price.

Element's are going cheap in CO at the moment-- a lot of people are getting the cats cut out and are unwilling to put that kind of money into a 15 year (or older) car.

Sigh. The world we live in.

Is this considered "an item"? lmao

Just make sure that it doesn't slow *you* down...on the side of the road with a fire. Does the manufacturer of that contraption mention anything about risks of fire or reduced catalyst life from the cat not being able to cool itself?????

The bottom has a pretty good sized cutout and it's very wide in relation to the cat, so no worries there. This just prevents cutting and removal.

For my Ice Cream fanatics, listen carefully...

I present to you the last scooper you will ever want!
I grabbed this from Amazon based on the plethora of great reviews. I honestly could not believe how effective and effortlessly this thing slides through rock hard frozen ice cream for perfect scoops each time.
