I’d say just plan on buying one. I’ve had mine for a few months now and I don’t remember seeing anything in the box other than the mounts and the waterproof case. It’s kind of annoying because you think for the price it would at least come with a tiny card to test it out, but nope.
I ended up grabbing a 128GB card for mine and that’s been fine for my shorter trips. I mainly use it for quick hikes and sometimes just around the yard, so I don’t need a ton of storage. If you’re planning on snorkeling and recording for long stretches, you might want to grab a backup card too. The battery seems to die before I fill the card up anyway, so it’s not something I stress about. Just my two cents.
Mine is noticeably louder when it switches to heating, no way around it. Still fine for a living room or while I’m working, but I wouldn’t want it right next to my bed on a cold night. The cooling mode is definitely the quieter of the two.
I made the swap last winter and honestly the heat feels different. The radiator gives off that slow, heavy warmth that lingers. The ceramic one is more like standing in front of a hair dryer, warm air blowing right at you but the room itself doesn’t really soak it in. Fine for a desk setup, not great if you want the whole room comfortable.
I grabbed one mainly for my 3/8 chain and ended up trying it on an older .325 loop just to see. It did the job but the fit felt a bit looser, like it wasn’t locking down as tight. Still sharpened fine, just took a little more fussing to keep it aligned. Probably fine if you stick to the two common sizes.
I think the floor matters more than people want to admit, but not in the way you’d expect. I had mine on carpet for weeks and it was fine, then I moved it to tile and suddenly my readings were all over the place for a few days. Turns out it just needed to settle or something? Either way, I’d pick one spot and stick with it, because switching back and forth is definitely going to mess with your tracking.
I think if it’s consistently overcounting you’ll probably get used to it eventually, but I get why it bugs you. I’d just wear it for a week or two and see if the totals are still way out of whack compared to before. If they are, I’d probably just reset it and start fresh.
Mine did the same thing when I first tried it on a bathroom sink that was draining super slow. Foam climbed up way higher than I expected and I stood there for a second wondering if I was about to have a mess on my hands. It never actually spilled over though, just got close and then kind of settled.
I think the amount of foam depends on how much gunk is actually in there reacting with the stuff. The first time it was pretty dramatic because that drain was bad. The second time I used it a few weeks later on the same drain just for maintenance, it barely foamed at all, which made sense since there wasn’t much buildup left to chew through.
As long as it’s not actively pouring out onto the floor, I’d say you’re fine. The directions say to add hot water after the powder, so maybe just make sure you’re following that order and not adding extra water than what they suggest.
Good to know, thanks for the replies. That makes sense since it basically just creates its own little bubble between the phone and the car. I was overthinking the garage thing, sounds like it’ll be fine.
I use mine mostly while I’m on calls and honestly it does fine for that. The strap holds it well enough for normal sitting, though if I’m reaching for my keyboard or twisting around a lot I do have to nudge it back into place. Not a big deal for me since I’m not exactly jogging around with it on.
Pretty sure that’s normal. My old desk heater did the same click for years and never had a problem. I wouldn’t lose sleep over it.
I’ve used mine one-sided a few times when I’m just listening to music or a podcast around the house and it worked fine. Never tried the translation that way though, so I can’t really say if it cuts out or not. I’d probably just test it with something simple first before relying on it for an actual conversation.
I’ve seen a few people mention it’s quieter than the old blade fans. I’d probably just grab one if you’re tired of that airplane noise, even medium is probably way more bearable than what you have now.
They toss a few sizes in the box, small ones included. I wouldn’t overthink it, you’ll probably find one that works well enough.
I think it’s fine for a drafty room if you don’t expect it to heat the whole space evenly. I just set mine up close to where I’m sitting and it does the job well enough. People overthink these things sometimes, it’s just a spot heater.
Huh, I didn’t really notice it being jumpy, but I mostly use mine on grass that’s already pretty flat. I guess if you’re on really uneven ground it could get a bit bouncy, but I just slow down a little and it’s fine for me. Might be worth just trying a different angle like you said.
I think it depends a lot on the fabric. My sofa is one of those slightly rough microfibre types and the steam just sits on top unless I really press down. Took a few passes but it worked eventually.
I tried it on my old wagon that’s been sitting in the sun for years and it did way more than just “less chalky.” Looked a lot better after a few passes. Not new, but definitely not just a tiny improvement either.
Honestly I barely notice the pressure light most mornings. Usually just see it flashing red when I’m rushing through my routine, but I don’t think it’s changed how I brush much. Works fine as a reminder I guess, but I wouldn’t call it a game changer or anything.
Access point mode works fine with any router, I’ve had mine hooked up to an old Asus for months now. Only thing I’d mention is the app setup can be a bit annoying if you don’t have a TP-Link router, but once it’s running it just works. I mainly use it for the extra ethernet ports too and it’s been solid.
I’ve got one with my Linux laptop and honestly it’s been fine for normal use. I didn’t even bother trying to set up the software, just paired it and it worked. The scroll wheel is nice straight out of the box. Only thing I kinda miss is maybe remapping one button, but it’s not a big deal.
I mean, even if it dies right at the end, you’re already done washing by then. Not like you’re gonna stop halfway and leave soap on the car.
Honestly I don’t even notice a difference with the ice chamber. I toss ice in there when I remember and the battery still gets me through a workday on low.
High works fine for me. I barely ever touch the low setting, just crank it up and it gets the job done.
I think 500 ml is fine for desk use, especially if you’re not blasting it on high the whole time. I just fill mine up when I get to work and it gets me through the morning easy enough.
I just use mine as a desk fan basically. It’s fine for keeping me from melting while I’m working, but I wouldn’t say it does much for the room itself.
I think it’ll do fine for taking the edge off in a 120 sq ft room, just don’t expect it to blast you out. I use mine in my office and it makes a noticeable difference without the whole house heating kicking on. Good enough for what it is.
Probably nothing to worry about. The learning is based on how you drive, not how long it sits parked. Even if it takes a couple drives to feel normal again, that’s still way less than the initial setup. I wouldn’t overthink it.
I just got mine last week and honestly I didn’t even bother testing the blood sugar against anything. I figure if it’s way off I’ll notice eventually but for now I just glance at it and move on. It’s not like I’m diabetic or anything so it’s more of a curiosity thing for me.
