DJR Pumbling Auckland Client Review – High quality, Responsive, More expensive.

Used DJR Plumbing / David Roche to Install a new Rheem Stellar 160 replacing the old Vulcan Freeloader 300 back in June 2022. including new slab, external piping, fittings and connections. New water cylinder so far working great.

Total price paid $4038 (Includes gas certificate)

DJR may not be the cheapest, but did appreciate the professional, approachable and can do attitude throughout. Very responsive to communication, probably the best I’ve seen from any tradesperson. Punctual, arrived to do the job on time at the times he stated the following day.

There was a minor leak to the existing distribution pipe discovered afterwards, David very obligingly came back that same morning (after notifying him) where he resolved it without fuss. The Owner’s manual was found soiled in the bin, looks like it got accidentally stepped on, however was able to eventually find a copy online.

Overall, reasonably happy with the job done and happy to consider using DJR again for any gas fitting and plumbing be it for my own place or for a rental property.

Logitech UE Megaboom 3 – Don’t recommend

Ultimate Ears (UE) Megaboom 3 is completely smoked in the sound quality department by it’s older cousin, UE Boombox (classic)

Sorry, I am going to have to say “I smell a rat” given the chasm of expectation created by all the rave reviews / buzz –versus- my own actual listening experience of the UE Megaboom 3 Bluetooth Speaker.

Bought this speaker based on the swathes of glowing reviews all over the Internet including being swept up by the claims in their marketing material where they specifically mention “Way more boom” and “Thundering Bass”.

Logitech Ultimate Ears questionable marketing claims for their Megaboom 3 product. I suspect if these claims were ever challenged in a legal setting, Logitech could be found in breach of the Fair Trading Act.

Got it back home and compared it to my old UE Boombox (from 2012/2013), and was sorely underwhelmed with the UE Megaboom 3’s sound quality, in particular, the UE Megaboom 3’s bass response compared to my old UE Boombox. Continue reading “Logitech UE Megaboom 3 – Don’t recommend”
