    Mine behaved differently in stop and go than on the open road. It smoothed out the throttle a bit, which honestly made the crawling less jerky, but I didn’t see any real fuel savings until I started doing longer drives. So it’s doing something, just not the thing I bought it for.

    The micro-pressurization thing is mostly nonsense in my experience. I swapped mine onto a weak line and the flow got worse, not better, probably because the filter adds resistance. Took it off after a week.

    Mine still needs the phone nearby, which gets old fast.

    in reply to: NanoPolix actually safe on clear coat or just marketing? #10129

    It’s a mild abrasive no matter how they market it. Anything that removes scratches is removing clear coat.

    It’s not going to fix the shakiness. If anything, the aiming is still on him, not the clipper. The safety guard just means he won’t slice himself, but it doesn’t make a moving target any easier. I’d borrow one before buying if you can.

    in reply to: Does the Qinux Dogitek remote work if it gets dropped in the grass? #9919
    Lisa HallLisa Hall
    Member

    It’s a remote with exposed buttons and a charging port, so wet grass isn’t exactly its ideal environment. Just because it survived the drop doesn’t mean moisture won’t catch up with it later. I’d dry it out thoroughly and keep an eye on it.

    It’s probably just the surface being weird with water, but I wouldn’t call it a flaw. I’ve had mine for a while and it does that too. I just don’t use it straight after washing, I let it sit for a few minutes. Not a big deal.

    in reply to: Does the Breezi AC get annoying to refill after a while? #9490

    The refill cadence doesn’t really bother me. I just keep a bottle of water on my desk and top it off when I get up to stretch. It takes like ten seconds, so I don’t get why people act like it’s some chore. If you’re using the mist constantly, you’re gonna use water. That’s just how it works.

    If you’re the type who gets annoyed by unboxing something and having to wait another week for an accessory, just buy the card now. The listing would say if one was included. That’s how these cheap action cams always work.

    Headlights copping sun and bugs all day, I’d get something actually made for them.

    It being weaker a few feet away is normal for these little evaporative coolers. They are not meant to cool a whole area. I would keep it within arm’s reach if you actually want to feel it.

    in reply to: does the Hewelth UVClean work with tap water or only bottled? #8760
    Lisa HallLisa Hall
    Member

    Tap water is fine. I’ve been filling mine straight from the kitchen sink for months and I haven’t had any issues with it. The UV thing just does its job on whatever is in there, so I wouldn’t overthink the water source.

    in reply to: CarbonOne Safe vs old detector: is the beep pattern different? #8264
    Lisa HallLisa Hall
    Member

    Mine does the short beeps too before the real alarm, but my issue is the beep itself. It’s not as loud as the old one. I can hear it from the next room, but if I’m in the basement or outside, I miss it entirely. That constant loud blast was annoying but at least it worked.

    in reply to: SpyFocus app live view vs older cam, any delay? #8241
    Lisa HallLisa Hall
    Member

    Mine’s been fine, but I also didn’t have a super old camera to compare it to. I had a cheap one before and the lag on that thing was bad enough that I’d just give up and go check the room myself. With SpyFocus I can actually watch my dog move around in near real time. It’s not perfect, but it’s close enough that I don’t get annoyed. I think a lot of it is just where I placed the camera though. I have it in the living room pretty close to the router, so that probably helps more than the app itself. If I move it to the back room I’m sure it’ll get worse, but for now I’m not complaining.

    in reply to: AlarmTag vs old keychain alarm – is the pin easier to pull? #7818

    Compared to the old ones I’ve tried, the pin on this one is way smoother.

    The game count on these things is always padded nonsense, but honestly, who cares? I got one of these for my kid so he could see what actual games looked like before everything needed a WiFi update. It does what it says. You plug it in, it works, and there’s a stupid amount of games on it. I wasn’t about to sit there and catalog the whole library to see if it’s exactly 5,000 or if it’s 800 games with different language versions. That’s a waste of an afternoon. If you’re the type to count, you’re probably not the type to enjoy it anyway. The real question is whether the controllers work and if the games you actually want to play are on there. That’s it.

    The nozzle’s not the problem, the ladder is.

    in reply to: Guardality with a passport holder? #7088
    Lisa HallLisa Hall
    Member

    The holder does its job when the passport is in it. The card is for the rest of the time, when you’re not thinking about it. I got one because I don’t want to rely on remembering to keep everything locked up. It’s cheap enough to just have it and not worry.

    in reply to: PestVault vs. the old peppermint spray I used to buy? #6408
    Lisa HallLisa Hall
    Member

    The spray worked, but it felt like a part-time job. I got sick of it and switched to the pouches because I just couldn’t be bothered to keep up with the routine anymore. I don’t notice the smell much at all, which is honestly a bonus.

    in reply to: Does the WellHeater dry out the air much? #6344
    Lisa HallLisa Hall
    Member

    Mine’s been running in the hallway for a week and yeah, the air feels a bit drier. But I honestly expected that from any heater, so it’s not a dealbreaker. Just keep a glass of water nearby.

    in reply to: AerioQ timer clicks when it turns off? #6287
    Lisa HallLisa Hall
    Member

    It clicks here too, but I stopped noticing after a few days. Probably just the relay or whatever switching off inside. If it works fine otherwise I wouldn’t lose sleep over it.

    in reply to: Coolizi Coolzy heating mode smell anything? #6217
    Lisa HallLisa Hall
    Member

    Mine did that too but honestly I barely noticed it after the first couple of uses. It’s like when you turn on a space heater that’s been sitting in a closet all year. A little dusty smell and then it’s gone. I wouldn’t worry about it unless it lingers for days or starts smelling like something actually burning. These units are pretty simple, not much to go wrong with them. The heating mode works fine for me, gets the room warm enough without being obnoxiously loud. Give it a few more cycles and see if it clears up. If it doesn’t, then maybe reach out to support, but I’d bet it’s just the initial burn-off and you’ll forget about it by next week.

    15 minutes is plenty for a deck if you’re not trying to be a perfectionist about it. I’d just go for it and not overthink it.

    Mine took a little bit of effort at first too. It’s not going to feel as effortless as freehanding but it’s way more consistent. Just give it a few more tries, it settles in.

    I’ve had mine for a while and I mostly use it for breakouts. The red light does nothing for me, but the blue setting actually seems to shrink pimples faster than leaving them alone. I wouldn’t buy it just for anti-aging, but for acne it’s fine.

    in reply to: Pro Capture battery life when using WiFi for the app? #5292

    Mine does the same thing with WiFi on. It’s a battery hog but pretty much every camera like this is the same. Not surprised.
