    I just leave mine plugged in and don’t really think about it. The light stays on, no flickering or anything, so I guess it’s working as intended. Hard to say if it’s actually smoothing out anything, but I haven’t had any issues with my appliances acting up since I put it in. Could just be coincidence, but I’ll leave it there anyway.

    I’ve got a cheap no-name Qi pad and it charges the Tagsley just fine. Your Anker should work without any issue.

    It does okay for getting water out of the mirrors and tail lights, but I wouldn’t rely on it to dry the whole car. I just use mine to blast leaves out of the garage corners after sweeping. Works fine for that.

    Glad I’m not the only one who had it shift around at first. It settled down for me after a few nights once I got the fit right, so probably just needs a bit more time.

    Not really sure why people get hung up on water usage with these things. I just want to finish the driveway and move on with my day, not stand there checking the meter.

    I get the concern, but realistically you’re not going to have it in your ears for 7 straight hours anyway. I take mine out whenever I’m just walking around or eating, so the battery has never been an issue for me on a full day.

    It’s been pretty automatic for me with the shorter naps. A couple times I’ve dozed off on the couch and checked later and it was already logged, which was nice. Not every single one gets caught, but enough that I don’t worry about it.

    I’ve seen a few people use those steel brush heads on brick and they seemed fine with it. The wires are stiff but they’re not gonna gouge the bricks unless you really lean on it. Just keep the speed reasonable and you’ll probably be alright.

    I’ve stuffed a small drone into a 20L pack before and it worked fine as long as I wasn’t bringing a lot of extra gear. Just check the case size before you buy, some of them are surprisingly bulky. I wouldn’t overthink it.

    I get what you mean, the hole does stand out at first. I found it took me a few days to stop poking my finger in there by habit. For me it ended up being fine once I adjusted my grip, but I don’t think it really adds much control either way.

    in reply to: Qinux BreezaMax battery life on medium speed? #1562

    I get wanting something quiet for work. On medium speed, I’d say mine lasts maybe 4 or 5 hours before it needs a charge, which is fine for a few hours at the desk. Not a beast, but not bad either.

    I’d say that’s pretty normal. Mine does the same thing depending on how much I open the hose, but it still cleans fine for what I use it for. I wouldn’t overthink it.

    Nah, it’s basically just moving air around. I wouldn’t expect it to actually drop the temperature in a closed room.

    The stutter when switching apps happens on mine too, but it’s not constant. I think that’s just how these cheap sticks run.

    Pretty handy for keeping things fresh, I like the auto-clean, but I’m skeptical it’s worth the extra heft for every trip. Battery’s fine for short stuff, not something I’d rely on for long backcountry outings. Still nice to have around for everyday laziness.

    Geofence alerts are hit or miss because the tag only reports when another phone is close enough to relay location. Expect delays and weird last-seen points. Battery life in ads sounds optimistic.

    Thanks for the replies, I think I’ll make them see a doctor since the gasps worry me. White noise helps me sleep but I’m probably crashing on the couch some nights until we sort it.

    I disagree, expecting a perfectly silent collar is unrealistic and most cats just learn to ignore the jingling.

    I think it does make the tap taste nicer. That filter timer feels a bit on the safe side though, I usually leave mine in closer to six weeks and haven’t noticed anything off. If the replacement cost annoys you you can probably stretch them a bit without immediate harm.

    Seems decent for quick jobs. Tap the filter over a bin every few uses and the suction stays better.

    in reply to: SawShark worth it for regular home use? #556

    Member

    Replaced my old round-file jig with a SawShark last season. Clamp feels solid and the guide actually makes angles predictable. It is slower than an electric sharpener and you still need a steady hand or you’ll take too much off a tooth. For home use I kept it, but I also keep the old file for tiny touchups.

    Same thing happened to mine after a while. It kept doing quick jobs but the steam weakened and the leak never really went away, seals felt cheap and finding parts was a PITA. I wouldn’t bin it yet if you’re only doing light cleaning, but don’t expect it to be rock-solid forever.

    I usually get a push almost immediately when my dog slips the fence, but a couple times the alert showed up a minute or two late when my phone had bad reception or the app was backgrounded. Fine for everyday use, not perfect for split-second escapes.
