  • in reply to: AiraBreeze in a room with a ceiling fan? #10447

    Mine actually worked better once I turned the ceiling fan off. The cool air stayed down near the bed instead of getting pushed around the whole room. Sounds backwards but that’s just what I noticed.

    in reply to: Qinux BlackOptic without an SD card, can you still use it? #10082

    It does have a tiny bit of internal memory, but it’s really just enough to mess around with settings and maybe a test shot or two. I wouldn’t count on it for storing anything you actually want to keep. The viewing side of things works perfectly fine without a card though, which is what I mostly cared about.

    in reply to: Does the Breezi AC get annoying to refill after a while? #9525

    I got used to it but honestly it depends on how much I actually want the mist. I noticed I stopped using it as much once the novelty wore off and now it’s mostly just a fan that I occasionally add water to. The refill thing isn’t really annoying to me anymore because I just do it when I refill my water bottle anyway.

    I fly mine mostly when I’m out hiking and honestly the whole prep thing is kind of a non-issue for me. Once the battery’s charged, I can have it up in the air before I’ve even finished finding a good spot to stand.

    in reply to: Does the iTagPro beep as loud as the old Tile? #8849

    I’ve had mine for a few months now and honestly never really noticed it being quieter until I misplaced it under a couch cushion. It was still easy enough to find, just took a second to register. Maybe the tone is just different enough that it throws you off at first.

    in reply to: TopCarPlay reconnects fine but does it ever forget your phone? #8669

    Mine does the same thing every so often. I just treat it like one of those quirks you live with. Honestly I prefer the wireless convenience so much that I don’t mind the occasional manual reconnect, it takes like ten seconds.

    I didn’t really test mine in any kind of scientific way, but I did have it tucked behind a pretty heavy console table for a while and never thought about it again. I figured if the sound was gonna get blocked, it would’ve been by that thing. I still noticed fewer spiders in that room after a few weeks, so I just assumed it was making its way around fine.

    The way I see it, you’ve only been running it for a week. That’s still pretty early. I feel like these things need a bit more time to actually convince the pests to move along, especially if they’ve already made themselves at home behind your bookshelf. The sound doesn’t just stop at the first solid object it hits, it bounces around. A couch isn’t exactly a sealed wall.

    I probably wouldn’t rearrange the whole room over it. If you really wanna know, you could just move it to a different outlet for a week and see if anything changes, but that feels like more work than just leaving it be. I’d give it another week or two before deciding it’s not doing anything.

    in reply to: Does the Qinux Talkbuds work with any Bluetooth phone? #8411
    Emma Locke
    Member

    I have a fairly basic Android, nothing fancy, and they connected like any other pair of earbuds I’ve owned. I didn’t have to fiddle with settings or anything like that, it just showed up in my Bluetooth list and paired normally.

    I’ve actually used them more for regular music and calls than the translation stuff honestly. But the pairing part was never the issue for me. I’m not sure why some earbuds would be picky about Android anyway, that would drive me crazy. These just act like normal wireless earbuds on my end, which is all I really wanted.

    in reply to: Does the CoolJet need ice to work well or is water enough? #8351

    Ice makes a noticeable difference, but water alone still gives a decent cool breeze.

    in reply to: Does the CoolCove work okay in a room with high ceilings? #8149
    Emma Locke
    Member

    Tall ceilings are one of those things that sound nice until you try to heat or cool the room lol. I have them in my place and my CoolCove does fine for the area right around it, but if I’m across the room I can definitely tell the difference. It’s not going to magically fill the whole space if it’s super open up there, so just keep your expectations realistic.

    in reply to: Does NuraFix work on just paint transfer or actual scratches? #7441
    Emma Locke
    Member

    I think it kind of depends on what you call light. If the scratch is just sitting in the clear coat, it’ll definitely help make it less noticeable. Anything with any real depth to it, I wouldn’t bother. You’ll just end up buffing it and it’ll still be there.

    in reply to: Back Restore vs the old TENS unit I used to borrow? #7439
    Emma Locke
    Member

    It’s a much deeper feeling than a TENS unit, way more like a massage.

    in reply to: DappSmile strong mode safe for everyday use? #7351
    Emma Locke
    Member

    I use strong mode pretty much every time now. I just don’t press the tip into my teeth like I’m scraping paint, I let the vibration do the work and keep it moving. My gums were a little pink the first couple days but they settled down once I got the hang of it.

    in reply to: Does the JetClean work okay if you just use a bucket? #7247
    Emma Locke
    Member

    I used mine with a bucket for a while and honestly the spray was fine for getting soap on and rinsing off. You do have to top the bucket up if you’re doing a bigger vehicle, but I never felt like I was running back and forth every two seconds.

    in reply to: Does the Glacier Breeze help much in a small bedroom at night? #7116
    Emma Locke
    Member

    I think the biggest thing for me is that I can feel the difference in the air, not just the breeze. It’s less like a fan blowing on you and more like the whole room just feels a bit fresher. I usually fill the water tank before bed and it keeps going all night without me having to mess with it.

    in reply to: Does the Hewelth UVClean need to be charged before first use? #7002
    Emma Locke
    Member

    I honestly wouldn’t even worry about it being fully charged before you mess with it. I mean, sure, it’s probably a good idea to plug it in while you’re doing the whole rinse-and-fill routine, but I don’t think you need to treat it like some old-school gadget that takes 12 hours to wake up.

    Mine came with enough juice to run a cycle right away, and I just pressed the button after filling it up because I was curious. It worked fine. But it definitely wasn’t a full charge, and I’ve noticed that the battery doesn’t last forever if you’re using the self-cleaning mode a lot. So it’s not like it’s dead out of the box, but it’s also not something you want to rely on for days without plugging in.

    If you’re the type who hates waiting for things, you’ll probably be fine just using it right away. But if you want to be a little more careful, just plug it in while you’re doing your initial cleaning and filling. That way it’s topped up and you’re not thinking about it later. Either way, you’re not going to break anything by trying it out early.

    in reply to: Derila Ergo and pillowcases, do standard ones fit? #6982
    Emma Locke
    Member

    I had the same thought when I first got mine. I just use a regular pillowcase and it works, the empty corners look a bit funny but they don’t bother me. I’m asleep, so who cares what the pillow looks like.

    in reply to: Ozoori placement in a small fridge, any spots that work better? #6898
    Emma Locke
    Member

    I just plopped mine on the middle shelf near the front and haven’t thought about it since. Seems to keep things smelling fine, even with my roommate’s leftovers in there. I don’t think the exact spot matters as much as just having it in there at all.

    I swapped mine out for a carrier SIM from back home and it worked without any fuss. The included one is basically just a starter pack, the slot itself is open. I would not stress about being locked into their plans.

    in reply to: Does the WellHeater dry out the air much? #6322
    Emma Locke
    Member

    I’ve noticed it a bit too, but honestly I think that’s just what happens with any heater. I keep a glass of water on my nightstand and that seems to help enough for me. I’ve had mine running for a couple of weeks now and the dry throat thing faded after the first few days, maybe I just got used to it. I do crack the window a tiny bit before bed, not enough to make the room cold, just to keep some fresh air moving. Not totally sure if it’s the WellHeater specifically or just the season, but it hasn’t been bad enough to bother me. I’d rather have the warmth than worry about it too much.

    in reply to: Does the Qinux HydroXeltor work with low water pressure? #6005
    Emma Locke
    Member

    I’ve got pretty average water pressure and it does the job fine for stuff like hosing down the patio. Not gonna blast anything off instantly, but it’s definitely a step up from a regular nozzle. I’d say go for it if you’re not expecting a miracle.

    in reply to: Qinux BlastVul nozzle options for glass windows? #5962
    Emma Locke
    Member

    Honestly I wouldn’t overthink it. I just used the regular nozzle that came with it and kept some distance, no issues at all.

    I think it mostly figures it out on its own, but I wouldn’t bet on it catching every single quick switch. Might have to tap the app now and then if people are really flying through languages.

    in reply to: Does the Qinux WarmPro really heat up that fast? #5556
    Emma Locke
    Member

    I grabbed one for my small office and honestly, it gets warm pretty fast. By the time I finish sitting down and getting my coffee, I can already feel the heat. It’s not like a giant space heater but it definitely does the job for a desk area.

    in reply to: How do you hold the Qinux Gravizer for longer projects? #5548
    Emma Locke
    Member

    Oh man, I get what you mean. I had the same thing happen when I was doing some detail work on a wooden box. I just ended up taking a quick break and shaking my hand out for a minute. Honestly, I think your grip kind of naturally relaxes the more you use it, at least that’s what happened with mine.

    Emma Locke
    Member

    I switched from a manual scraper too and yeah the vibration is definitely weird at first. But after a few days I stopped noticing it and my teeth do feel smoother than with the old metal one.

    in reply to: JetClean battery life on patios — does it last long enough? #5249
    Emma Locke
    Member

    I’d just try it and see how it goes honestly. Even if it dies halfway you can always top up the charge while you take a break for a drink or whatever.

    Emma Locke
    Member

    I think for just taking the edge off it would probably do what you need. The timer is nice for bedtime so you can set it and not worry about it running all night. Honestly I wouldn’t expect it to feel like a full AC unit but for a small room it might be enough.

    Emma Locke
    Member

    I’ve used mine on my car seats too and it does pull up short hair alright, but I found it works way better if I go over the spot a couple times from different angles. The brush attachment helps to lift it a bit. Not a miracle worker but for a quick touch up between full cleanings it’s fine.

    in reply to: TopCarPlay and audio delay in certain apps? #4657

    Honestly I’ve noticed it too with video apps, but it’s so minor I just ignore it. I’m usually just using it for maps or music anyway so it doesn’t bug me.
