"Just learn to solder" Look asshole I'm old, have shaky hands, shit eyes and I'm a grown up with other priorities who just wants a vac that doesn't spy on me.

Lab Report #521: S10PR float switch tested. Water level readings steady, dry burn protection engaged flawlessly. Maria nearly dropped it but caught it mid-air. Wild times. Snagged this for $41.07 (was $82.14). Stellar results! #RoboVac #LabLife
