iPhone 11 here. Still not sure if the older phone thing is really an issue or if my earbuds were just cheap, so hearing that the link stayed solid is reassuring.
I’m on an iPhone 11, so not quite as old as yours but getting there. Good to hear the Bluetooth side held up on the XR, that was my main worry since my earbuds lagged on this phone too. I don’t use translation much anyway, mostly just podcasts and calls, so that part being slow wouldn’t bug me much.
The heat and vibration are honestly the parts I’d expect to do most of the work for plain desk stiffness. The traction side is more than I’d need for just loosening up after sitting all day.
Mine foamed up just fine with tap water that was warm but nowhere near boiling. I’ve used it a handful of times on a slow tub drain and it cleared things out each time, so I don’t think you’re wasting a dose.
I’d just plug it into whatever power bank is already in my bag and see how it does. The one thing I’d check first is that the bank actually lets it run while charging, since some of mine cut off on lower draw devices.
I have mine buried between leftovers half the time and it still keeps things from getting that nasty fridge smell. Not as fast as when I first got it maybe, but it does something. I just charge it when the light blinks and shove it back wherever it fits.
I mostly just glance at the overall activity trend over the week. If the daily bar looks way lower than usual for a couple days in a row, that gets my attention more than any single number. The rest of it I kind of tune out.
I use mine for games on my phone and haven’t noticed any lag that bothered me. There’s no separate low latency setting to turn on though, it just runs off the Bluetooth connection. For casual stuff it’s fine.
I don’t think running it only at night is enough. Mine stayed plugged in for a couple months before I noticed anything different, so a few hours here and there probably isn’t going to cut it.
Mine actually started acting weird when I unplugged it every night. Not the settings, those came back fine. But after about a month of doing that, the touchscreen would lag for the first few minutes after plugging back in, like it needed time to wake up properly. It still worked, just felt sluggish compared to when I left it plugged in.
I stopped unplugging it after that and the lag went away. That was maybe four months ago and it’s been fine since. I don’t know if the unplugging caused it or if it was just a coincidence with something else, but that was my experience.
I get wanting to save a bit on electricity or whatever, but for me personally the hassle of plugging it back in and waiting for it to act normal wasn’t worth it. I just leave it alone now. It’s not like it draws a ton when it’s off anyway, at least not that I’ve noticed on my bill.
So I’d say it’s less about the settings resetting and more about the unit just not liking being cut off constantly. But that’s just what happened with mine over a few months, could be different for you.
I have mine plugged in near the fridge and it still went off when my roommate forgot to turn off the burner. So a regular outlet has been fine for me. Never even thought about putting it by a window.
I actually prefer the softer masks on the ResQVac. The hard plastic on the old red ones always felt like it was digging in, and the softer edge seems to sit better on different face shapes. I’ve used mine a couple times for practice with my kids and never had an issue with the seal.
The clicking in part isn’t fiddly at all, so I wouldn’t let that worry you. It’s more about whether you want to keep pulling it out. I think leaving it in is fine honestly.
The remote itself isn’t the problem for me, it’s more that I keep hitting the wrong buttons because it’s smaller than what I’m used to. After a couple weeks it stopped bugging me though. If you just want basic navigation it’s fine.
Two months is way too early to be thinking about replacing it. I’m going on 11 months with mine and it’s still fine, no cracks or anything. The “long-lasting” thing is vague because it depends on stuff like grinding, but I wouldn’t buy a backup yet.
I have normal vision too and just wear mine as regular sunglasses, no issues with them feeling weird. The over-glasses thing is just an option if you happen to wear frames, not some requirement.
The subscription thing is what put me off that one too. I don’t travel enough to justify another monthly bill, so I’d rather just grab a SIM wherever I land and be done with it.
I get a bit of that too but mine shows up more like a weird pinkish tint on the edges of the frame, not the whole picture. It usually happens if I flip back to normal mode while the IR is still turned up high. If I lower the IR first and then switch over, the colors come back pretty much right away. Not sure why that makes a difference, it just does on mine.
What I have noticed is that it depends a lot on where I am pointing the thing. If I go from a dark area straight into bright sun, it takes longer to look normal again. But if I step into shade first and then switch modes, it is fine. So for me it is less about the device itself and more about how big of a jump in light it is dealing with at that moment.
My brother has a different night vision gadget, not this brand, and his does the same kind of thing. His actually goes greenish for a few seconds instead of washed out. So it seems like it is just something these digital ones do when they move between modes. The picture quality on mine has not gotten worse over time or anything like that, it still shoots the same as day one.
I’ve run mine through the dishwasher a handful of times and it came out fine, no warping or weird peeling so far. I mostly hand wash it now just because it takes up a lot of room in there. The option is nice to have though.
I just used the flat pad that came in the box and stuck it right on the front of my helmet. Been on there for a few rides now and it hasn’t budged, even on bumpy paths. Not sure how it’ll hold up long term but so far so good.
For a small office, I’d say the Coolzy warms up quicker than an oil radiator. Mine starts putting out heat within a couple minutes instead of the twenty minute wait I used to have. It’s not going to heat a big open space but for one room it’s fine.
I’d push back a bit on the idea that you need to figure out the cause before buying anything. That sounds sensible but in practice you can spend months guessing. Sensitive gums can come from a bunch of stuff and a dentist visit is the only way to actually know, but a lot of people just live with it and adjust their routine.
For what it’s worth, the Nunawave is listed for sensitive gums so it’s not like you’d be using it off label or something. Whether it does much for that specific brushing twinge is a different question, and I don’t think anyone here can really promise that. Red light stuff seems to be more about calming things down over time than fixing a sharp pain in one spot.
If the sensitivity is mild and mostly annoying, I’d say it’s worth a shot. If it’s actually painful or getting worse, that’s a dentist thing regardless of what device you buy.
Mine only translates through the app, but I have noticed it sometimes picks up a phrase if I leave the app running in the background instead of fully closing it. Not sure if that’s a setting I changed or just how it behaves.
Thanks for all the replies, sounds like there’s no secret finger after all. I’ll just grab the sizing kit and see what fits, probably overthinking it.
I do it while running all the time. It just clicks into the other position and keeps spinning, takes like two seconds. I never shut it off to change angle.
I think it depends on what you’re comparing it to. If you’re used to lugging a regular pressure washer around, this thing feels tiny. But if you’re expecting something you can forget you’re holding, that’s not really the case either.
I carried mine around mostly with the shoulder strap and that made a big difference for me. Without it, I would have been switching hands a lot while moving from the patio to the steps and back. The machine itself is fine for a few minutes at a time, but if you’re doing a full clean-up session, you’ll probably want to set it down between spots anyway.
I wouldn’t call it bulky. It’s more like holding a big drill, if that makes sense. Solid enough that you know it’s there, but not awkward to move around. I never found myself dreading picking it up again.
