I’d probably just try it on a small spot first and see how it goes. Single stage can be a little tricky but for light oxidation it’s usually fine.
Straps should be snug enough that it doesn’t slide down your leg when you bend your knee. If you have to yank it back up after a few steps, that’s too loose. I just tighten mine so it feels secure but not digging in.
I haven’t really messed with the data saver mode much myself, so I can’t say for sure how big a difference it makes if you’re not roaming. I mostly just use mine as a backup when my home wifi acts up, and it gets the job done without needing any fancy settings. Maybe the global stuff is overkill if you’re not traveling, but the rest of it still seems fine for basic use.
Mine felt a little off right after installing too, but it smoothed out by the end of the week. Probably just sorting itself out.
I think part of it depends on what else you’re doing on the MacBook while it’s plugged in. I’ve noticed mine slows down noticeably if I’m running a few apps or have the screen brightness up, but if I just leave it alone it charges pretty consistently.
Huh, I’ve seen a couple people saying it just works, but I had the opposite experience with mine. Could never get the access point mode to stay stable when I plugged it into my non-TP-Link setup. Might just be my luck though, seems to work fine for most people.
The 4 week thing feels more like a guideline than a hard rule honestly. I usually just swap mine when the water starts tasting a bit off and that’s usually way past the four weeks for me. So it’s not really a big ongoing cost unless you’re using it constantly.
I’ve used mine for a couple of wool-blend sweaters and they came out fine, no shrinking or weird shaping. I just set the timer short and checked them halfway through, which felt like the safe move. Probably wouldn’t trust it with a super thick hand-knit one, but for normal sweaters it’s been good enough for me.
I think people might be overthinking this one. It’s not some super precision machine but it gets the job done well enough for basic chain touch ups.
I just use it till it dies and call it a day. Even if it cuts out right at the end, the car’s already rinsed off by then.
I haven’t really tested mine with the IR on for long stretches, mostly just short bursts to spot things. But I will say the battery life seems decent when I’m just using it as a regular monocular during the day. Might be worth checking if you’re leaving the screen on too long between uses.
I gave social mode a try at a busy pub and it was fine for following the conversation at my table. Not life changing but I didn’t have to ask people to repeat themselves as much. I think it handles noise better than just turning everything up but it’s not like the background disappears completely.
I wouldn’t worry about it too much. I leave mine plugged in all the time and my car starts fine even after a weekend trip. The motion detection really doesn’t pull that much power.
I usually run mine on high right from the start and the baked-on stuff comes off way easier after a quick spray of water. Low is basically just for a light touch up.
Coming from a blurry toy drone camera, the Black Falcon is legit a big step up. I take mine on road trips and just toss it in the glovebox, super handy for quick shots at rest stops and stuff. The 4K looks solid for casual travel videos, not going to win any awards but way better than the fuzzy mess I was getting before.
I wouldn’t worry about it too much, plastic trim just shows every little thing. I’ve had similar streaks on my car’s trim with other products too, not just NuraFix. It’s one of those things you only notice if you’re staring at it up close.
I guess it depends how much you care about a perfect dry. For a quick blast after a wash it’s fine, I’ve used mine to get the door sills and it works well enough.
Yeah that’s pretty much what I figured, just wanted to see if it was normal. Guess I’ll just stick closer to the setup next time. Thanks for the replies.
I mean, musty smell after water sits overnight is kind of expected with any evaporative cooler, not sure why it would be a big surprise. I just dump mine if I know I won’t be using it for a while and it’s fine.
I’d say it depends on how cold your room gets. I used mine in a similar sized space and it took the edge off, but I wouldn’t call it toasty or anything. Fine for taking the chill out when you’re just hanging out in there.
Mine’s been plugged in for about a month and honestly, I don’t notice anything different either. The light is on, so I just assume it’s doing whatever it’s supposed to do.
Honestly, I’ve thrown mine in a duffel bag a few times and could still hear it from a couple rooms away. Not gonna blast through a concrete wall, but for a thin card it does the job well enough.
I’ve had mine on a pretty low nightstand and it stays where I set it. The tilt isn’t super aggressive but it’s enough for me. I wouldn’t worry too much unless you’re trying to point it straight up at the ceiling.
Not totally sure it’s worth getting just for that. I messed with one of the built-in games on mine once and it was fine for like 5 minutes but I wouldn’t call it a real feature.
I haven’t used mine long enough at night to really tell if the LED does much, but I kinda like that it glows. Makes it easier to spot where I stuck it in the garden.
I haven’t timed mine either, but I mostly use it with the crevice nozzle for car cup holders and it seems to last long enough for that. I kind of assumed the brush would drain it faster just because it has more resistance or something. Not really an issue for me since I only do short bursts anyway.
Honestly, I think people overthink it. I’d just put it wherever it’s not gonna get knocked over and call it a day.
I think it should be okay. My folks have a pretty old TV and Flixy worked right out of the box for them. The picture wasn’t super sharp but it did the job for casual watching.
