    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

    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.
