Risk Reward?
OK, so this post is not for the 8 sleep fanboys/girls. This is a practical questions based on actual savings versus risk. Just like a HVAC system, I set one temp at night & never change it.
There's a Pod 5 (queen) core sealed, brand new, for $2000 on eBay. I understand the risk of warranty & possible returned fraud risk as far of deactivation.
Here's my dilemma, the new core system has the sub paywall attached whether you like it or not. Any way you slide the pie, you're paying around $3300 with an autopilot system I won't use. I don't even use autopilot on my Tesla let alone on a mattress refrigerator. I choose 8 Sleep Pod 5 because of physical buttons, otherwise I would stick with Orion.
Question:
For those that have gotten a used to work for several years, who aren't fanboys or undercover employees for 8 sleep, did the purchase outweigh the risk, longterm?
