This was my introduction to your channel, it's a very positive first impression. I don't know how Amazon affiliate links should work but clicking the ones in the description brings up the KZbin in-app browser on my phone rather than the Amazon app. Is that something you've got control over, eg using a longer link that they have installed a link handler to match? (It's especially silly that searching for your link in the app returns no results rather than looking up what the short link links to!) It just feels like by the time i get this thing ordered the link back to you has probably been severed by the pile of half-finished software. Thanks

So the claimed "2450 ISO lumens" of the Mars Pro 2 vs the "1800 ISO lumens" of the original Mars Pro was a marketing lie?
@TheHookUp5 ай бұрын
Not a lie, just not all that useful. The DBOX02 has a "high performance" brightness mode that ramps up the fans to 100% and outputs as much light as possible. That mode can hit 2450 ISO lumens, but I don't think anyone will use it because it's loud and not as color accurate. I measured the DBOX02 at 178.9nits peak brightness vs 152.8nits on the Mars Pro, so that's a 17% brightness increase while maintaining color accuracy, but not 36%.

I have a wooden floor and very thin carpets I’d like to know if it makes sense to return the robot or not. Thanx. Ruggero from Italy
