I think it depends on what you mean by “different.” The Nunawave is definitely not the same as those cheap pharmacy ones, but it’s not like you’re wearing a whole different kind of appliance either. The material feels more solid and it sits a bit differently because it’s not just a thin plastic shell. It has more presence in your mouth, if that makes sense.
The one big thing for me was the first few nights. A regular guard you kind of forget about after a while. With this one, I was more aware of it, mostly because it’s a little bulkier around the front teeth. That went away after maybe a week though.
I wouldn’t say it’s harder to get used to, just different enough that you notice it at first. If you’re already used to sleeping with a guard, it’s not a huge leap.
I’m going against the grain here, but I don’t think it’s worth using on older chains at all. I grabbed one specifically to try and breathe some life into a chain that had been sitting in my shed for a couple seasons, and honestly, it felt like I was just wasting my time. The cutter teeth were uneven and the edges were pretty rounded off, and the tool just couldn’t get a good grip to do anything meaningful. It slid around more than it sharpened.
I think the whole idea that it can restore a rough chain is oversold. If you’ve been using your chain regularly and just need a quick touch-up, sure, it’s probably fine. But if you’re hoping it’ll fix something that’s been neglected or abused, you’re better off just getting a new chain. I learned that the hard way.
It really depends what you’re comparing it to. My old pull-down had that grayish backing too, and the ScryneX is definitely brighter/whiter in comparison. I wouldn’t call it a plain white sheet, but it doesn’t have that same contrast-boosting tint, so daytime viewing in a bright room will wash out a bit more. For a living room with windows, I’d keep expectations realistic.
For me it came down to how you hold it while working. I didn’t find the weight bad, but the shape makes it awkward after a bit if you’re reaching around stuff. Not bulky exactly, just not as balanced as I hoped.
The prickly sensation usually calms down for me once my muscles get used to the level. I found that starting at a medium for a minute or two before bumping it up makes the transition way smoother and less jarring.
i’ve used mine in an airport and on the train a few times. the other person could hear me okay, but i could tell they were hearing some of the rumble in the background too. it wasn’t terrible, just noticeable. i wouldn’t expect them to completely cancel out loud environments, but for normal calls they’ve been fine for me.
We keep ours in the hallway near the laundry room, not right by the bowls, but the cat definitely wanders over to it sometimes out of curiosity. She’s never gotten zapped or seemed bothered by the glow. If the dog is super nosy, maybe just watch her the first time it kicks on.
I get why people say it’s manageable, but I had a different experience on my windows. The spray tends to fan out more than I expected once you pull back even a little, and that’s when it starts leaving droplets everywhere. It’s not a total mess, but I wouldn’t call it neat either.
I’m terrible at schedules too, so I just set a reminder on my phone for every three months. Takes two seconds and I don’t have to think about it. The water pressure drop is pretty gradual, so I wouldn’t rely on feeling it.
I’ve paired mine with a Pixel and it worked the same as any other Bluetooth earbuds I’ve used. The app is where the translation stuff happens, but as regular earbuds for music and calls they connect fine. I didn’t have to mess with developer options or anything like that.
I think people exaggerate how much louder it gets. I run mine in heating mode almost every evening and the difference is pretty minor to me. Maybe I just don’t notice it as much since the room is already quiet, but I wouldn’t let that stop you.
I’ve got mine sitting on top of a dresser about three feet from my bed and it’s been fine. I just made sure the cord wasn’t running under anything and that the front wasn’t pointed right at the curtains. Haven’t had any issues with it being near furniture, but I don’t shove stuff right up against it either.
I think it depends a lot on what you’re used to. I wore mine maybe five or six times and it was fine for the first few minutes, but after a while I could feel it pressing against my cheeks. Not painful, just noticeable. If you already have a small mouth, I’d probably try to find one you can test or borrow before dropping the money on it.
I think the real difference comes down to what you actually want from it. I grabbed a ceramic fan heater a couple years back for the same portability reason and honestly the heat is just different. The radiator feels like it warms the whole side of the room evenly. The fan one is more like standing in front of a warm breeze. It works great if you’re sitting still at a desk or reading in bed, but if you’re moving around the room it’s not the same cozy heat.
That said, I actually prefer the fan heater for my setup. I work from home and I only need my little corner warm while I’m at my desk. I don’t really care about the rest of the room. If you’re the type that likes the whole room feeling warm and settled, you might miss the radiator. For me, the quick blast and easy moving around wins out.
Depends what you mean by screen protector. Mine had the usual thin plastic film on it when I opened the box, but that’s not really meant to stay on. I just left it on anyway since it’s been fine so far. It’s not the nicest feeling but it’s done the job for me.
I’d grab a separate mount if I were you. I tried mine on a dash pad that had any kind of grain to it and it lasted about two days before it gave up. Glass only for me now.
Never really timed mine or measured the sound, but I get what you mean. It’s got a noticeable whirr, nothing crazy, just the motor doing its thing. I wouldn’t say mine is loud, but it’s definitely not something you’d mistake for silence.
I think it depends on how much you move around at night. I’m a stomach sleeper too and the first week was rough, but I noticed if I scootch down a bit so my shoulders sit in those cutouts, the height feels way more reasonable. Still not flat, but not as tall as it first felt.
I’d skip using it one-handed on a ladder. The hose pulling at your wrist while you’re trying to aim is enough of a pain on the ground, let alone up there. If you’ve got good water pressure, the thing does put out some force, so you kind of need both hands to keep it steady. I’d just do the bottom half from the ground and figure something else out for the top.
I think it really depends on what you’re trying to teach them. I’ve got a one-year-old now but I started using mine around the four-month mark, and for me the main thing was making sure I wasn’t using it as the only training tool. If the pup is just reacting to sounds, that’s pretty normal behavior at that age, so I’d want them to learn the “quiet” command first before relying on the device.
That said, I don’t think the device itself is going to hurt them or mess up their training permanently. It’s just a sound. But if you’re still in the phase where the puppy is figuring out basic commands, I’d probably focus on that first. Once they understand what you want from them, the BarkBuz becomes more of a reminder than a teacher.
That’s just how I did it though. Some people probably have totally different results.
I think it depends on how crowded the beach was. If people were walking all over that spot, the keys are probably gone for good. But if it was quiet, they might still be sitting right there under a thin layer of sand.
From what I’ve seen, the heat is not really the thing that’ll stop you. It’s more that the battery runs out before the camera ever gets hot enough to be a problem. I’ve left mine recording while I went out to grab food and it was still going when I got back, just a bit warm.
Mine clicks too, but I always figured it was just the internal relay doing its thing when the timer cuts power. I wouldn’t worry about it unless it starts getting louder or the unit acts weird after it clicks. These things are pretty simple.
I dunno, I tried using just one and the translation kept cutting out on my end. Probably just my luck, but it wasn’t seamless for me.
Mine didn’t take much extra pressure, so maybe it’s the file or how the chain is sitting in the guide. Could just be a bit of a break-in thing though. It’s still way better than freehanding for me.
I just switch hands every now and then when I’m doing longer stuff. Works fine for me, and the battery lasts long enough that I don’t have to rush.
