What does everyone think, good deal? or just everyday price?
we love our actifry, and yes, that seems to be a pretty good price. we paid 189 for a lesser model last year.

Has anyone seen any good deals for washer/dryers. My dryer crapped out 3 weeks ago so I was holding off until now to hopefully find a good price.

This is interesting. A pretty solid PC along with an Oculus Rift for 1399, saves you probably $400.

Definitely looks like a decent buy if you're not going to be too picky about speeds, FPS, etc.

I honestly have no idea what you really need to run an Oculus optimally.

More than what the PC is putting out I think.

I don't have a VR system (want one though) but from my cursory reading you'll want a vid card with 6gb vram and at least 16gb ram / i5 processor.

From what I understand, 8 GB of RAM should be sufficient for VR gaming. It's more the processor and GPU that don't quite look up to snuff in that build. Like I said, it'll probably get you in the game, but you'll be needing to upgrade within two years when the games get more advanced.

On another note, newegg.ca has the Intel Core i5-6600K on sale for 284.99, which is the cheapest I've seen it since I started looking.

Anyone know of sweet deals for a vacuum? Looking at something simple (but quality) for a small apartment.

Not sure if I want to shell out $350 for a vacuum. Is that really how much it costs to get a decent one?

Page 3 I think it was had the Anova one that seems well received.

https://ca.anovaculinary.com

I am assuming the wifi version allows you to set schedules and monitor/do more advanced things than just the basic bluetooth one. For $50 I don't think it's an easy decision to just disregard if you think you might be able to take advantage of it.

I personally just nabbed the bluetooth version though. I am assuming theres the ability to tweak settings via phone which might be more UI friendly than the top knob?

Any deals anyone has seen on tablets?

I have $400 to spend on Amazon.com, but doesn't look like any good deals on a tablet like the Galaxy Tab S2...

Decent, no, incredible, yes. That model usually goes for around $700. Buy that vacuum, trust me. I went with a "decent" one for years. First time I used that model of Dyson, I was completely floored with the amount of dust/hair/general crap that it pulled out. And that was just a quick trial run in the area right in front of my TV in the living room.

When I do the whole house and see the results, it almost grosses me out how much dust can build up in carpet in just a week. Even moreso if you have pets. And that vacuum comes with an incredible hairbrush for pets.

That machine is worth it at full retail, at that price it's a no brainer.
