I don’t think you need two for the modes to work, but I’d push back on assuming one is fine just because it switches. With loss on one side, the other ear is doing a lot of the work already, and a single unit can end up sounding lopsided in social settings. Worth trying one and seeing how it feels in a group before committing to a pair.
A rolling average mostly just told me my “normal” was lower than I thought, which was kind of annoying but also useful. If you’re already getting curious about one bad night, that’s probably the thing worth checking. No fancy upgrade needed though, a simple weekly average does the trick for me.
I actually think the first flush thing gets oversold for basic garden use. The bit that actually matters is keeping leaves and junk out of the barrel so the spigot doesn’t clog. Mine’s been catching roof water for two summers now and the plants have never complained.
Emailing support is a waste of time in my experience. I did that once and the person told me returns were fine, then when I actually tried it they pointed to some line on the website saying used items were final sale. I just look at the written policy now and if it says unopened only I move on.
I’d just get the second one and try it in the bedroom before deciding anything permanent. If the picture gets weird I’d move it a few feet and rescan, but that’s about all I’d do. Mine has been fine in two spots, so I don’t see why it would suddenly mess up the main TV.
I mostly just wanted to hear if people actually use these day to day or if they end up in a drawer. Sounds like it depends a lot on the person. I’ll probably grab one cheap adapter and see how it goes, no big plan behind it.
Ten minutes before a shower is pretty much what I got mine for, and it did the job fine. Mine’s been hanging around the bathroom for a couple months now with zero drama. I just don’t leave it plugged in when nobody’s using it.
Mine has held up fine for about four months of regular patio and car washing. It does concentrate the stream more than a plain nozzle, and that alone made scrubbing the slabs easier for me. If your tap pressure is decent it’s worth it, if it’s weak then nothing will help much.
The audio nav side is pretty straightforward since it just pulls from your phone’s maps app over Bluetooth, same as any other earbuds really. The part I’d actually think about is whether you want city noise plus a voice in your ear while biking. I tried something similar and ended up turning the prompts off on busier roads because I couldn’t hear them well over traffic anyway. For walking it’s totally fine though. Battery is the other thing, since nav running constantly eats into that 5-6 hour window faster than just listening to music. For short trips around town you’d probably be fine leaving the phone pocketed.
I’d say reapply it if you like the look, but don’t count on it for real sun protection. The UV claim is there so the bottle looks more useful than it is. It sits on the paint like a spray sealant, so it’s not fixing anything underneath.
I mostly used mine for the calming/redness thing, but a few of my old marks did look less angry after a couple months. Not erased, just less noticeable in photos. I’d say it’s worth trying if you’re consistent, but don’t expect it to do all the work on its own.
Mine is fine with 4 shirts but they need a bit of space or the middle stays damp longer. 5 would be tight in my opinion.
Mine have been in my car for about a year now and I still reach for them every sunny drive. The difference for me is mostly on long highway stretches where that constant bright wash just wears you down. They won’t fix a dirty windshield or a bad angle, but for everyday daytime driving I’d buy them again.
I’d hold onto the login info rather than assume it just carries over. My history came back fine after swapping phones, but I had to use the exact same sign-in method, and I’d switched from email to Google at some point, which made it messy. Not the scale’s fault really, but worth checking before you wipe the old phone.
I mostly wanted mine for the bigger stuff anyway, that’s kind of my whole reason for having it. Small gadgets never even crossed my mind honestly. If your charger feels cooler after a week that’s a nice bonus I guess.
Watched a couple K-dramas with mine and it handled the quiet scenes fine. The minute someone whispers or there’s background music it just gives up though. For following the plot that’s usually enough.
Mine never really got comfortable until I stopped fiddling with it, so I mostly left the jaw part alone and just dealt with the weird feeling for a bit. It sorted itself out eventually.
Body heat isn’t really a factor since it’s passive, no electronics to fry or anything. The bigger thing with back pockets is that it only blocks what’s actually next to it. If your wallet has a bunch of cards stacked on one side and the Guardality card is on the other, the cards in between might not get covered as well. I tried mine in my back pocket for a while and it worked, just depends how your wallet is set up. Front pocket is easier to keep it close to the cards you care about.
I got the UVClean a few months ago mainly for the gym bag situation and the cap definitely helps with that smell. It’s not magic if you leave actual gunk in there, but for plain water it stays fresh way longer than my old bottle did. Charging is a bit annoying but I just plug it in over the weekend and forget about it.
I think people overestimate how much direct sun these things really need. Mine is in a spot that gets maybe two or three hours of direct light and the rest is just bright shade, and I’ve only plugged it in a handful of times since I got it. The battery seems to hold onto a charge pretty well on its own.
I think it balances out once you get used to where your hand naturally lands. Took me a couple of days before the weight felt normal, but now I don’t notice it at all.
I noticed the same thing when I first switched mine over. The heating mode does have a slightly different hum to it, not necessarily louder but just a touch more noticeable. I think it’s because the unit is working a bit harder to push warm air around. In cooling mode the sound kind of blends into the background, but in heating I can tell it’s running even from across the room.
That said, it hasn’t bothered me. I keep mine in the living room during the day and it’s not distracting while I’m watching TV or reading. If you’re someone who needs absolute silence in a bedroom at night, you might notice it more. But for regular use I wouldn’t let it stop you from getting one.
I actually think the repellent part does more than people give it credit for. I brought mine to a backyard cookout where the mosquitoes were pretty bad, and I noticed the area right around the light was noticeably clearer than the rest of the yard. People were still getting bitten further away, but nobody hovering near the lantern got eaten alive.
That said, I wouldn’t call it a replacement for spray. It creates a decent bubble around the light itself, but it’s not like a force field covering the whole campsite. I think the key is where you place it. If you keep it close to where you’re sitting, it helps. If you hang it on a tree twenty feet away, it’s basically just a lamp.
So for a weekend trip, I’d bring both. Use the MozzDefense as your main light and keep the spray as backup for when you wander off. One thing doesn’t cancel out the other.
