Roman Does Consumer Tips

Roman Does Consumer Tips

This channel is dedicated to everyday consumer life hassles. We talk about regular consumer goods and services, how to select products properly and save money on them, and of course, avoid scams and money grabs along the way.

I don't go too deep into obvious technical specs, since a lot of it has been published and reviewed by others, instead, my evaluation is based on 3 pillars:
1. Ease of Use - anyone has to be able to use it if they know what this is.
2. Build Quality - product has to be durable and reliable for its life span and adequately sturdy for its method of use.
3. Task Performance - everything is made to complete a certain task, if it fails at its main purpose of existence, why would you buy it?

If my videos help at least one person on the planet make the right choice and save some $, then this channel is a success!

I am open to meet-ups and projects!

    What a complete nonsense to compare a more than double price notebook (RAZER) and YES for a gaming laptop bigger is MOST TIMES better as those VERY PRICY ones most times don't deliver, but only look 'good' for being very thin, RATHER when turned off, tho... Maybe look at some comparisons of real-time gaming power and you see you pay for thin and nothing more which makes no sense for nearly any people, definitely none that would look at a review of this type of bang for the buck notebook!

    I have a coaxial connection already running through my house, in fact my main router for the house is connected to a coaxial port. I’m looking at the Amazon page for the product and it seems to imply that I need two of the adapters to make the connection work. Will it not work if I take the existing connection I already have and just put one adapter in my PC room to connect to ethernet with my computer?

    Wow, my '16 is at 68,000mi and I've not experienced any of the failures you have. I'm still on the original wipers with no squeaks/streaks. Seat, door handle light, mirrors, roof window all trouble free. No streaks on paint on roof. I do have to lube the sunroof track each year as it squeaks and binds. Doors perfectly aligned. Engine and drive train and electronics all trouble free. HOlds alignment. normal brake and tire wear, no oil consumption. Nothing coming loose at all. Extremely long lasting brakes. Original Michelins were cheap junk and wore out at 20K. I put a nice set of Yamahas on and they are still on. The failures I've had are leaking trunk (factory service bulletin issued and fixed) failed starter solenoid (factory recall 1 year later) . A piece of dirt got in the rear caliper and jammed the rear brake. I have had lots of damage done by dealer mechanics though. THey broke my driver seat control ($35 part) They overfilled oil twice by 1 quart. They didn't bolt oil access panel on, twice, causing wind to rip it off ($350 part ruined twice). 2 weeks in shop waiting for part both times. Didn't tighten oil filter, causing oil to blow everywhere, requiring another week in shop to clean oil mess. Plus damage to my driveway from massive oil leak (good thing I noticed before engine blew) I can't blame the car for the incompetency of the dealer and I would gladly buy another Genesis.

  • @RomanDoes
    @RomanDoes9 күн бұрын

    That's what my video is implying a lot too - any car is garbage without proper service. Genesis has 0 service available to the owners. No mechanics, no parts, poor treatment all at the same time while being positioned as competition to other premium brands. All that special treatment ends once you sign the purchase agreement.

    You can only fault the "Dealership" you chose to do your repairs and paint job. AND.... Since you purchased it used, what was the CARFAX on it? How many accidents if any did it have? How many owners? There's a lot of undisclosed information. My family member has one and it's a dream of a vehicle. I have an older model (2010) and I have absolutely NO issues. It still shows well and drives smooth. I think this guy just got a bad Genesis. Maybe the owners prior didn't take care of it very well or had an accident. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I was looking at this to replace my Razer beause their quality is so horrid, but I was very concerned about the joystick position - with it not being angled like on the tartarus, it looked very uncomfortable to use. Having watched this, I think I will stick with Razer. Especially with the price tag to Australia.

    I have a 2017 Genesis and no faults at all. Maybe you just have a defective one. And no saying your just having an outcry you should simply gotten the extended bumper to bumper warranty vs going through all these loops from what seems a defective vehicle. And I would also love to see your service maintenance records to prove your service routine has been authentic thoughout this video outcry of complaints. I love my Genesis again no faults at all 🥂

    @pavinos first of all none of these gaming chairs use leather unless you specifically pay for it but then you are losing any sort of design. If you like seating in your underwear with direct skin contact you will sweat in any non-perforated material. I suggest you look for a cloth seat or perforated leather seat like they do it on cars

    the hairball test was pulled in with max setting. Keep in mind air purifier is not a vacuum cleaner, it was done for demo purposes to show how it works. When it comes to intake, it's usually equal to the outgoing force, just on the intake you have more barriers (filters) to go through, so it looks as if it pulls less air.
