Mine was pretty tight after the boil-and-bite too. It loosened up a bit after a few nights, but it never got super loose. I think some tightness is just part of how it works.
I think that’s just how these digital night vision units work. The IR draws a lot of power, so medium setting still drains it fairly quick. Probably not a dud, just the nature of the thing.
15 minutes sounds about right for a cordless blower that size. If you stick to just the patio and a quick car blow-off you should be fine.
Alright, thanks for the replies. Sounds like it’s decent enough for what I need, probably just overthinking it. I’ll grab one and see how it goes.
Sprays are hit or miss. I tried one and it just made my apartment smell like a wet dog with perfume on top. Not really an improvement. If you’re in a studio maybe just crack a window more often after baths.
Honestly I just threw a bunch of ROMs on a USB stick and it worked fine for me. Saves are a bit random depending on the game but I never really messed with settings. Menu is what it is, I just scroll through it.
Maybe check whether your phone actually has an FM chip first. I think a surprising number do, so that could save you from lugging anything extra, but not totally sure which phones.
Yeah the remote is annoyingly tiny and mushy. I just drop it in a small dish on my desk so it doesn’t disappear and I don’t mash the wrong buttons, I think.
I disagree. I wouldn’t bank on the UV part doing much long term. I’d probably skip the AirdrobeX and get a heated drying rack or save for a small condenser dryer.
Not just crumbs, they actually pull a surprising amount of pet hair from cloth seats, though some stubborn bits will stay.
Seems fine to keep the old one if it still works. New travel packs do add organization and protection but also weight and fiddly pockets, so only swap if you actually miss those features. No need to fuss until it stops doing the job.
For a couple tiny dead spots, a cheap extender or one extra access point will probably sort it out without a full mesh setup. Mesh is nicer to manage, but not always necessary.
I have one and the filter clogs fast. Cleaning helps but suction drops sooner than I expected and I still see dust around vents. Handy for quick messes, just not a miracle HEPA.
I’d give it a week, try a couple of different settings and see if your dog stops reacting or just ignores it. If it’s still spotty after that I’d return it or put the money toward a different training method. Not worth hanging on to if it’s inconsistent.
Tried one in a small bedroom without the hose. Honestly it felt more like a strong fan than a real AC, didn’t noticeably drop the room temp. For the price it was worth keeping for white noise and spot cooling, but don’t expect it to replace a window unit.
I replaced my old scaler with the DappSmile; it’s nicer for quick touch-ups but I’m not convinced it’s a full replacement for professional cleanings.
First time I hung mine I fussed with getting the top perfectly level and that alone made the picture look a lot cleaner. I used a couple of hooks across the top and just let the bottom hang, setup was quick and not a big deal even though the fold lines were still there.
I’m a bit skeptical it replaces a proper washer; it’s mostly about convenience. Mine makes quick rinses and regular tidy-ups much easier, though baked-on grime still needed scrubbing or a stronger machine. If you want something you’ll actually use often, it’s fine.
Thinking about buying the Derila Ergo but I sleep hot and sometimes lie on my stomach. Does it trap heat or end up too high/soft for stomach sleeping after a few months?
Thanks, sounds like most people didn’t notice a difference. I think I’ll wait for someone with actual meter numbers before buying.
Got one last year. Battery lasted about 40 to 50 minutes so I could do my hatchback and a couple bikes, but it won’t blast off baked-on wheel-well mud without pre-soaking or a bit of scrubbing. Filling from a bucket is a faff but doable for quick weekend jobs.
Used it on shallow scratches and they stayed much less visible after a month. Deeper ones still show at angles, so feels more like hiding than actually removing.
Maybe they got a dud — mine wasn’t top‑heavy and felt stable, but I do think the fan is louder than advertised and maybe not worth switching from a decent ceramic heater.
Nice — glad it worked for you. Quick question: what setting did you run it on to get that all-day battery? One tip from my experience — put it near a window or have a small exhaust/fan so the humid air can leave, and clean the pads regularly or they can start to smell.
I’m skeptical they do much in a normal setup — UV‑C works, but you need the right dose and direct line‑of‑sight, and most little desk lamps don’t put out enough to be reliably effective unless you hold them very close for a long time. They’re definitely a safety risk for eyes/skin, so don’t run one while you’re sitting at the desk and look for models with timers/motion cutoff. Ozone is only an issue with lamps that emit around 185 nm (some cheap bulbs), whereas most UV‑C LEDs (~270–280 nm) don’t make ozone, and yes, longterm UV‑C will degrade plastics and coatings. If you just want less surface gunk, a quick wipe with alcohol or a small phone UV box is often more practical than a desk lamp.
