Hi, I have a largish room (700sq ft) which is also my home office, its hot as its south facing large windows but also three computers.

I have what was a really awesome Whynter 14000 unit which is now ten years ago, but last year it just wasn't cooling down the room as much.

So seen a few videos on the Zafro, but most seem like influencer posts. So, aside from the detailed review on rediit here...

....anyone else have real world experiences? Its almost too good to be true. I know a/c units are notoriously unreliable and I've not heard of this brand before.

Anyway, good and bad, let me know.

Do I go with this, or consider a new Whynter (once I've done some temp testing), the same model is still available today

Thanks all

As per the title, we just discovered our beardie laid six eggs this evening, sometime in the last four hours.

She is now asleep, do we wake her to have a bath now or wait till the morning as everyone has said hydragon is important?

Thanks in advance

As some may have seen on here, been debating getting car play for my 2014 (North American) Abarth since the dawn of time. I didn’t want to loose the vents and heard fair number of issues on some of the cheaper aftermarket units and looked at some stand alone units, many of which use their own (poor) speakers which defeat the object

I came someone with a 124 running a standalone unit called Carpodgo. They make a couple of standalone versions, but I ordered the Mini, which is literally the same size as my iPhone

Unlike many other stand along units, it doesn’t use a speaker.  The phone connects  with the radio unit with an BT Aux adaptor in the glove box (North American car) You can alsoconnect via the old school way with a cigarette lighter FM transmitter. I assume you could also go cable via USB in glovebox

The Carpodgo unit then connects to the phone for the visual aspects of Car Play (or Android Auto) via Bluetooth (different BT Settings allow this apparently). The unit is powered by a USB-C cable.

The positives for me, retains car/iphone audio including calls and I havent had to cut up my vents.

Start up is quick and so far always connected. You can do OTA updates really easily (via Wifi) and can customize the boot screen easily. Screen quality is really good, which is worthwile given its size. 60fps, but not sure how useful that really is

I have a TomTom ‘86R’ socket i my dashboard so I had my daughters school 3d print a mount, to which I attached the supplied magsafe (non powered) attachment. As you can see, it only just fits.

It was about $130 CAD with a coupon and took about 2 weeks to come from China.

So far I’m really impressed for the price, hopefully it lasts, thats my biggest concern.
