Getting it for around 2.4k in flipkart. Should I go for it or consider other options.. I am also eyeing the xiaomi trimmer kit it goes for around 1.6k after offers .

I’ve been considering buying a pair of rain boots/gumboots for quite some time, but I’m unsure whether they’re actually worth the investment for daily use in Mumbai during the monsoon.

I’ve tried finding them offline in shoe stores and markets, but there aren’t many options. I bought one pair previously and found them quite heavy, tight, and uncomfortable.

My main concern is comfort. When people recommend gumboots, I wonder how practical they really are if you’re wearing them for several hours. For example, if I’m travelling to college, taking trains, walking around malls, offices, restaurants, etc., I can’t exactly change footwear midway.

I currently own rain shoes that are more like mesh loafers. They dry quickly, but my feet still get drenched during heavy rain or waterlogging, which I dislike.

I’m seeing some returnable options online (Amazon, Myntra, etc.), but reviews are mixed, and I’m hesitant to spend money on something that may end up sitting in a corner after a few uses.

A few questions for people who have actually used them:

Do you wear gumboots directly with socks, or do you wear them over your regular footwear?

Are they comfortable enough for 3–6 hours of continuous use?

Do your feet end up sweaty and uncomfortable?

For Mumbai rains specifically, are waterproof shoes a better option than full gumboots?

Any lightweight models available in India that you would genuinely recommend?

For context, I’m mostly dealing with train travel, college campuses, footpaths, and occasional waterlogging up to ankle or mid-calf level.

I’d appreciate recommendations from people who have used them for an entire monsoon season rather than just a few rainy days.

I bought lenskart titanium glasses at 5.2k and i choose 2nd pair b1g1 as sun glasses (current one prescription), its Vincent chase so im skeptical on the quality shall i exchange it for Meller or johns Jacob? (but had to pay for price difference for prescription lenses).

Is it worth the money?

My main goal is body grooming especially private parts and trimming beard on least possible mm.

This is full body grooming trimmer so I am considering this

Trimmer for beard, armpit and if possible other body parts too. Strong buit atleast last for 2 or 3year. Don't know enough about charging port and charging time so recommend on your own

I am trying to gain weight and I have realised that it's easier to take liquid calories than directly eating food in solid form (in between the meals). I don't feel hungry to eat snacks in solid form in between the meals. But, I do feel thirsty and instead of drinking water, I can easily drink 500ml of milk (which also gives atleast 50g of nutritional content).

Why not protein powder? They are costlier, this provides higher total nutritional content which I want.

I am specifically looking for full fat uht milk (something like amul's buffalo uht milk) because it's more value for money than 3% fat uht milk (like amul moti toned) but this isn't available in local shops near my area and on instant delivery platforms or on Amazon and Flipkart.

It also needs to be uht because I need to take a packet to office and I have no means to boil regular pasteurised milk there.

This is also not available on amul's website.

How can I buy this?

Confused with these three options, mg3927 and 3951 have only diff in accessories but price diff is huge so confused which to take out of them

I’ve been using a combo of Mi Trimmer 1C (for beard) & One Blade Face & Body but my One blade has died for good after all these years, and the Trim Quality of the Mi 1C is getting worse over time so was looking to replace with a 2 in 1 Solution if a good one exists.

Requirements: Waterproof, a charging indicator, relatively portable, fast charging (one blade took an age to charge)
Nice to Have but not necessary: Type C, Pass through Charging, Included Carry Case.

Wahl Zero Pro: I know Wahl is considered gold standard on the main BIFL Reddit but that’s for clippers and commercial lines I don’t know much about this specific one has Type C which is good to have. Also read that Wahl Products in India might be fake?
Braun/Gillette: My Braun Oral B’s been going strong and have read good things about Braun Shavers.
Morphy Kingman: Found it recommended on a few comments here when looking for non Phillips options
Phillips 7000 series: 5 Year warranty and good IP Rating, but I’ve heard the adjustable comb breaks?

Open to other brands and suggestions as well.

I don’t trust Ambrane after I got their Aerosync 65 power bank charger thingy, and I want to know if any other brand has a similar product that’s better.

EDIT: I’m looking for a multiport extension, with USB-C and power sockets, with the USB ports support a minimum of 50W power.

Definitely not paid. Just a very happy customer.

Was able to snag this Leap v2 for 13k offline from Rajhans Furniture in Surat. Paid yesterday, picked it up today.

Wheels show slight wear but otherwise in excellent shape.
Must recommend to folks who are looking for quality chairs at bargain prices.

I’m looking to buy a new water purifier for my current apartment but I am stuck between two specific smart models: the Urban Company Native M2 Pro and the Atomberg Intellon Smart Purifier.

I’d love to know what owners here think. Here are my key needs

• Variable TDS (300 to 450): My current water supply fluctuates. The Atomberg Intellon features "Adaptive Filtration" that switches between UF+UV and RO+UV depending on the input TDS to prevent aggressive mineral stripping. On the other hand, the Native M2 Pro uses 100% RO all the time and manually adds minerals back.
• Future Relocation: I am renting right now and plan to move to a different area/apartment in the near future. How easy are these to dismantle and reinstall? Does Urban Company's massive technician network give them a relocation advantage, or is Atomberg's service handling shifting well?
• True Post-Warranty Cost: Both have a 2-year shield, but after that, Urban Company charges a flat ₹5,000 to refresh everything for another 2 years. Atomberg works on an itemized pay-as-you-go component structure via their app. For a mid-range TDS of 300-450, which one actually works out cheaper over 4–5 years?

Thought of buying this, but confused
