    Yeah mine does the same thing, I wouldn’t worry about it. Still works fine.

    Ugh, that sucks, I think 20 minutes is definitely low. Maybe they didn’t fully charge it or the battery’s just worn out, so I’d mention it to the shop and see if they’ll do something. Could be an honest mistake.

    I ended up preferring a softer, flatter foam; it just felt more natural during long work sessions. Maybe contoured ones help others, I’m not totally sure.

    Yup, 20 minutes is shady. Small practical thing: ask to see the battery/charge indicator or take a quick 5 minute test run before you commit, saved me hassle elsewhere.

    Maybe check the rubber seal around the HEPA filter. I think if it isn’t seated properly it lets fine dust bypass and makes the filter clog faster.

    Honestly I tried a contoured neck pillow and didn’t notice much improvement, could be placebo for others. The pricier ones felt firmer but my cheap foam seemed fine for day-to-day. I’d probably skip it unless you’re super sensitive to neck support.

    I disagree. Sixty minutes doesn’t sound impossible, 20 minutes seems way too short.

    I think totally silent collars are pretty uncommon, maybe you can find one that’s much quieter but I’m not sure any are truly noise-free.

    I’ve got a cheap handheld and it actually lifts a surprising amount of dog hair, makes the seats look a lot cleaner after a quick pass. A few stubborn bits hide in seams and need a second go, but mostly fine for day-to-day. I just keep it in the trunk for quick touch-ups.

    Sounds tempting to grab a second Clip 5 for stereo, seems like it’d be nice at the beach. From skimming threads pairing seems pretty simple, though some folks mention a little sync/timing quirk outdoors. If you want more separation it’s probably worth trying, just don’t expect huge soundstage from tiny speakers.

    I swapped mine last year and now I keep it half-packed with a spare tee and small toiletries so I can just grab and go. It added a bit of weight but that routine saved me a couple of panicked repacks, I think. Not totally sure it’s worth it for everyone though.

    I’ve got the Marella too and yeah, taste is better but those monthly filter swaps do add up. I have a little routine of topping it up every morning while I boil water for coffee so there’s always cold water ready, and I stash a spare cartridge in the cupboard. Bit annoying cost-wise, but I still think it’s worth it for daily use.

    If you want a low-fuss, odor-resistant board for quick meal prep or raw meat work, this is handy and cleans up way easier than wood. It is louder and a bit harder under the knife, but after months I haven’t noticed my knives getting dull much faster, so I kept it for everyday use.
