I’d just leave it plugged in. It’s a gas detector, not a phone charger. Unplugging it kind of defeats the purpose of having a backup battery and self-test that runs automatically. Not a big deal if you unplug it now and then, but I wouldn’t make a habit of it.
I’ve had mine for a while and honestly the battery is fine for a commute, but I wouldn’t trust it for a whole day out without charging. The sticks are okay for fighters if you’re not too picky, they get the job done but feel a bit loose to me. TV output worked without much hassle when I tried it, just plug and play. Not a bad little thing to have in a bag.
I think the scent fading fast is just how these things work. I had a similar experience with them in my closet, but honestly the mice stopped showing up anyway so maybe the smell is still there for them even if we can’t smell it. Not totally sure it’s a problem if the rodents still avoid the area.
that matches what I figured. It’s basically a filler that looks good for a bit but doesn’t actually fix anything. I’ll probably keep using it for quick touch-ups before I sell the car, but I’m not expecting miracles. Thanks for the replies, good enough to know I’m not the only one not fully convinced.
Nah, I just step on mine first thing. The numbers bounce around anyway, so I figure consistency matters more than timing.
Yeah I got one of those cheap ones for travel. It works fine on a phone if you leave it there long enough but honestly I barely notice a difference day to day. Battery life on mine is crap though so it stays plugged in most the time.
Yeah mine does the same thing. I stopped bothering with the light after a day, it flickers around for no reason. As long as the WiFi actually works in that spot I just leave it alone.
I think a tiny flashlight in the glovebox is worth it for quick nighttime stuff, maybe better than using your phone, but cheap ones often die fast. Battery life and build quality vary a lot so it could just sit dead if you forget it. Still seems worth keeping to me.
Heating actually felt noticeable in my room. Cooling was underwhelming, more like a fan than real AC.
Personally I use foam earplugs, way better than a white noise machine for masking the big snorts. If they’re gasping you should nudge them to see a doc.
White noise helping you sleep is a small win, but it doesn’t stop the gasps. Those pauses worry me, so yeah get a GP to listen. Could be nothing, but worth checking rather than guessing.
Quick add: it definitely loosens tight muscles fast but my sciatica flares came back within a day. I ended up returning mine and the refund was painless. Fine for a quick de-stress but don’t expect it to fix disc problems.
I tried one and ditched it after a month. Heat/vibe is pleasant but it never gave the stretch I actually need, and having to plug it in makes it annoying to move around. Convenient maybe, but not a replacement for real traction.
Switched from an inversion table to a Back Restore and, for me, it actually helps my sciatica and I use it more because it’s easier.
Small thing: the remote loves to slide under the arch, so keep it on the floor beside you or you’ll be fishing for it.I think it’s handy for homeowners or weekenders who want a portable, no-power way to touch up chains, maybe not great if you’re sharpening all day. Files seem to wear faster than you’d expect so plan on replacing them now and then.
Seems fine for casual play, but I’m skeptical the battery and joysticks will hold up under heavy use. Not totally sure about long TV sessions either, maybe someone who’s actually used it plugged in can chime in.
Thanks for the replies, I checked my head this morning. The cartridge is already cloudy and the spray is a bit weaker after a month, so I’ll probably plan on swapping every 3 months like others mentioned. Annoying expense but showers are nicer so I’ll keep it for now.
On medium dogs it’s fine, lightweight and my dog pretty much ignores it. The strap can rub on long hikes and the plastic housing feels a bit flimsy, so I’m skeptical it’ll survive rough use long term. Check the fit regularly and you should be okay.
I think it’s handy for quick name tags and small glass etches, pretty portable. Battery life isn’t great so I usually keep it plugged or use a power bank, and it’s a bit noisy so not ideal in hotel rooms. Maybe worth it if you just want casual personalization, don’t expect pro-grade results.
Not convinced it’s any cooler than other memory foam pillows, memory foam usually traps heat so be cautious if you run hot. For stomach sleeping I think the ergonomic shape and loft could end up feeling too high or too soft after a few months, maybe not ideal. Could be fine if you sleep on your back or side, but I’m not totally sure.
Used LumaGlasses on trains and walking to meetings and they’re fine for quick calls. People sometimes said I sounded distant when it was noisy, so I wouldn’t count on crystal clear calls. Battery got me through a morning commute plus a couple short calls but heavy voice assistant use drained it faster than I expected, so maybe top up midday.
Updates bug me too, but on mine they usually just restart the stick and apps come back after a reboot. The remote is lousy so I rely on the phone app for typing. Makes an old TV usable, nothing more.
Worked fine for about 9–12 months then steam got weak and a small leak showed up. Tried to source seals and support was slow, parts are annoying to find. It cleaned well until then but I just replaced it instead of fiddling with repairs.
Roughly 45 minutes for me too, enough for a small car and a couple bikes but not a big patio run. Filling from a bucket is a bit fiddly and it won’t shift crusted mud without soaking and a brush.
