...paid at the end of the month.

Right, but it is 4.15% APY, which means if you leave $100 in your account for a year, that $100 will earn $4.15 a year. The interest is compounded daily and paid out at the end of each month. It's complicated to explain because the balance is constantly increasing with Daily Cash, personal deposits, and monthly interest.

"Nothing suggests that X Corp. will actually lead to the X app"

Nothing. 

Except Elon Musk publicly stating that Twitter will become X, the everything app. Over and over again. 

Elon Musk is not a reliable source of information, or really, anything.

It’s literally one of the quietest robo vacs (especially mop + vac) on the market.

I mean. 3.5 is above average, which this robot is. The noise level is mostly attributable to the higher suction, which doesn’t seem too necessary as my Shark vacuum doesn’t get as loud but cleans as well.

This review you linked seems off. Their 40ish decibel rating must have been taken while mopping, because the vacuum even at a low setting showed at least 60 decibels. On a rug when it kicks to high reaches 75 to 80.

Then the base station cleaning and sounds of water moving and high speed scrubbing can be quite loud, even if it only takes a few minutes to complete that cycle. It’s much louder and longer than when I’ve used just a vacuum robot.

all that said, it isn’t really a problem. It seems you’re stuck on the numerical score I gave it. 3.5 is a really good score. It means we recommend the product and it’s good for its class and price.

A 4 would mean it excels in its class but misses in a few key categories. 4.5 is near perfect with just one flaw. 5 means nothing can top it in the industry.

don’t focus so much on the numerical score. I was quite fair in my review and have used this device for weeks. If you like the other person’s review, that’s fine.

remember that reviews are highly opinionated. And scores differ from site to site. This review reflects my personal experience. Not a scientific test that will provide the same results no matter who does it.

maybe I’m more sensitive to noise than the other reviewer. If anyone sees this review and thinks “this is a bad robot and I shouldn’t buy it” then they are quite cynical and didn’t understand my review.

In the end, we choose what we cover here. You choose what you read. That’s our relationship.

I appreciate the depth and emotional reaction to a simple post about an app name creates. It means I’ve done my job anyway.

Thanks for the advice on how to run our website though. But I will say, if a website like ours was run that way we’d be closed in a week.

Anyway, I’m tired of this thread. Feel free to yell into the abyss some more if you need, I’ll be back in other threads.

I do wonder though, how would you react if Apple does announce a Broadcast app? It seems you’re so confident that you’re right that you’ve forgotten that you could also be wrong. Never forget to be humble on the internet.

Ah, the old “we’re just asking questions” game.

"We're just asking questions" is a euphemism used when discussing concern trolls, fake news coverage, or a disguise of willful ignorance.
