Appreciate you all, and hope you like my review! Let me know if you think I should have split the products up, or my end jokes were too much 😅

[@christygj]

I've been looking at the Switchbot 3 for a while, and was held back by price. But a combo of an Amazon Cyber Monday discount, PLUS your discount code helped me make that final decision to purchase. Thank you!

[@manicmods]

Happy to hear this, and hope you are enjoying them!

Hello, thank you for your video.
I have a long runway at home (~32ft), and I am planning to buy 2 'Switch bot 3'. However, in the description I saw that it supports up to 9ft runway.
I wonder if it is kind of recommendation or a hard requirement.
Have you ever tried to use one bot to open your 12' curtain?

[@manicmods]

Thanks for watching! I did actually test this since I wanted to use the second I had for another zone. And even with my low-drag setup I would not want to tow 12' of my curtains. The collective drag seemed to be a bit much and if the tire slips you can lose calibration. Let us know what you ended up doing, and good luck!

[@mikhailtokarev4633]

@@manicmods I’ve bought 2 switch bots. Support has said that 9ft is kind of recommendation.
Construction is in progress now and I cannot do a real test, but what I did so far: I have attached a weight to the bot and turned it upside down (like a car with one wheel). It was able to handle 16ft.

Lol. Good review and jokes were funny.
Think the only inconsistent part was when you could tell you're reading off the matter compatibility portions; understood @ why but lesser engagement to the audience.

[@manicmods]

Thanks! I thought same w matter compatibility. I read top-left to give some cohesion. But next time I'd record me tapping the screen.

Doesn’t show you how to install
