I actually took mine to rural Italy last month and it handled Italian fine with no signal at all, so it’s not just the super common languages like French or Spanish. My sister’s unit was a different story though, hers kept asking for a connection on the same trip. Wondering if it depends on when you bought it?
For me it was less about the overall footprint and more about where you can tuck it. I have a pretty narrow fridge and I found it fits perfectly lying flat on the top shelf right in the back corner, behind the yogurt and leftovers. It’s small enough that it doesn’t push anything forward or block airflow.
The one thing that surprised me is that it’s quite light, so if you’re constantly pulling things off that shelf you might knock it over. I ended up wedging mine between two taller bottles to keep it from rolling around whenever I dig around in there. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind if you’re cramming stuff in. I do have to move it every time I reorganize, but it takes two seconds.
I nearly missed it too when mine arrived, so I get the confusion. But no, they definitely don’t include one. I think the packaging is pretty minimal on purpose. For keeping them in the car though, I’d grab something cheap. Even a soft microfiber pouch works, since the lenses are the whole point of these and it doesn’t take much for them to get micro scratches from rattling around in a glovebox or door pocket. The frames seem sturdy enough, but the lenses are what you’re paying for. What I actually found handy was one of those hard sunglass cases from an old pair I had lying around, they fit fine since these aren’t much bigger than regular shades despite the over-glasses design. If you don’t have anything, the cheap pouches on Amazon work fine and take up no space.
I noticed the same thing with mine around the second week. It felt warmer than I expected but never got to the point where I was worried about it. I just figured it was doing whatever it does with the power flow and left it alone.
The app connection is really the only step that takes any thought, and even that is just a matter of having it open before you power on. Once I did it a few times, the whole thing became a pretty mindless sequence. It definitely doesn’t eat up your whole day.
I’ve got mine plugged in right by my bed and honestly the low setting is the only one I can handle. The higher fan modes have a bit of a whir to them that cuts through the quiet, but on low it just sounds like a soft white noise machine. Took me a couple nights to get used to it, but now I actually kind of need it to fall asleep.
I actually got mine for the same reason and I’m pretty happy with it, but not for the reason you’d think. The coffee staining on my front teeth hasn’t vanished or anything dramatic, but I’ve noticed my teeth feel way less “slick” and gross by the end of the day. That alone made me keep using it. I think the stain thing is a side effect more than the main event. Like, if I use it regularly, the stains don’t seem to get darker or worse, which is good enough for me honestly. I also caught myself using it after a heavy tea day and my teeth just looked a bit brighter in the mirror, nothing crazy but noticeable. I wouldn’t expect it to fix years of buildup, but for keeping things from getting worse, it does the job for me. I’d say get it if you’re okay with maintenance, not miracles.
I’m a bit picky about the trigger, and the Jetterix has a nice smooth pull that feels way better than my old one.
I put one on my iPad a couple months ago and honestly forgot it was there until I saw this thread. The size really doesn’t stand out on a bigger device, it just looks like a little dot. Mine is on a plain case, not the tablet itself, since I swap cases sometimes. No issues with it staying put so far.
I actually had the opposite thing happen the first time I used mine. I buffed it until I was absolutely sure I got everything, and then the next morning when I went out to my car, I could see a faint smear in that exact spot. It was like the product settled or something overnight. I just took a dry microfiber and gave it a quick wipe and it was gone, but it did make me wonder if I was ever going to get the hang of this thing.
Honestly, I think the whole process is just more forgiving than people expect. The cloth does most of the work, and the leftover stuff is just whatever didn’t get absorbed into the paint or wiped away. I wouldn’t say you’re doing anything wrong. It’s probably just the nature of the product when you’re working on a vertical surface like a door. You’re fighting gravity a little bit and it’s easy to think you’ve buffed enough when you really haven’t.
The one thing I will say is that I’ve started keeping a separate dry cloth in the garage just for that final pass. It’s not some fancy detailing towel, just an old one I had lying around. That seems to cut down on the film showing up later, at least for me.
I noticed the same thing around the two week mark, but it sort of leveled off after that. The initial roughness was almost aggressive anyway, so the calmer surface feels more natural now. I still get a decent smooth finish on my nails, just takes a few more passes.
I think people expect it to be a miracle worker sometimes. It is a tiny vacuum, so you have to work with it a bit. Cup holders are doable, but I found I just need to go slow and tilt it around to get the corners. Otherwise I end up pushing the dirt in a circle.
I think it depends on what you mean by larger. My frames are on the wider side but the arms aren’t super thick, and they fit okay. The bridge area is where I felt it gets a bit snug, so if your glasses have a really thick bridge or sit high on your face, it might push down a bit.
I honestly think it depends on how thick that buildup is. Mine had a rough layer from sitting all winter and it did cut through it, but I had to go over some spots more than once. The spinning head takes a lot of the effort out of it compared to a regular brush though. If your grates are really crusty, just know you’ll probably need to spend a little time on them, but it should handle it.
I’ve had it for a couple months now and my hair is pretty wiry, but I haven’t had any major issues. The only time I felt a slight snag was when I got lazy and let it go way too long between trims. If you keep up with it, it should be fine for you.
I sort of get what you mean about digital zoom feeling like a gimmick. I’ve had mine for a bit and honestly the zoom is fine when you’re not trying to push it too far. It gets the job done for spotting shapes and movement, but you’re not going to see every detail perfectly.
Mine’s a 2009 and I didn’t even think about the port before plugging it in. It just went in and did its thing, no fuss at all. I reckon if it fits, you’re sorted.
I think as long as the strap has room to adjust you’re probably fine. My only thing is I wish the remote felt a bit more intuitive, took me a few days to remember which button does what without looking at the screen every time. But the collar itself never felt like a chore to put on.
The pouch definitely lasts way longer than a bottle of spray, that’s the main reason I switched. I also like that I don’t have to worry about it dripping or leaving any residue on stuff. I just tuck one behind a cabinet and forget about it for a few weeks.
I mean, if you’re right next to it and the office AC is basically useless, it’s not going to cool the whole cubicle down like a real AC would, but it does make the air feel a bit less stuffy. I think it’s more about having something blowing directly on you than actually lowering the temp much. I’d probably just try it and see if you like the breeze.
I think it does pick up on it automatically for the most part. I’ve had a few times where it got a bit confused if someone switched really fast, but it sorted itself out after a sentence or two. Not something I’d stress about for a work thing.
I just leave my phone in the kitchen when I go for a walk and honestly the step tracking on the watch itself is fine for me. I dont really need the GPS maps anyway, I just like seeing my step count at the end of the day.
Honestly, if the humidifier is already doing the job for your throat I’d probably not bother with the tape. I tried it once and it just felt annoying to have something on my mouth all night.
I think that kind of thing is pretty normal for rubber after a month of daily use. As long as it still seals fine when I close it I wouldn’t worry about it.
I’ve noticed it too but only with a couple of apps, mostly video ones I don’t really use in the car anyway so it doesn’t bother me much.
Honestly, I’ve had mine plugged in for a few months now and I feel like I’ve noticed fewer mosquitoes buzzing around the living room at night. Could be coincidence, but I’m not complaining.
I dunno, I kind of forgot it had a handle until I read this. I’ve only used it a handful of times myself but it seemed fine, nothing really stood out to me about it. Maybe I just didn’t pay that much attention.
I just use mine to keep my laptop from dying during long train rides and it handles that fine. 30W is enough for me since I’m just typing emails or watching stuff, not running anything heavy. Feels like it’s more about managing expectations than the power bank itself.
I’d probably just run the repellent separately if I needed it to last longer. I usually turn mine on low light only and get way more time out of it.
