Honestly, I think you’re overthinking it. I stuck mine on a desk in the corner of the room and it picks up plenty of channels, so I doubt the ceiling makes a huge difference unless you’re in a dead zone. Not totally sure about the whole height thing, but mine works fine without any wall gymnastics.
I’d just get a regular fan. The AiraBreeze is basically a fan that blows air through a wet pad, so it feels cooler if you’re sitting right there, but it’s not doing anything to the room itself. For a small room, you’re probably better off saving the money and dealing with the humidity.
I just leave mine under the case. If the thing actually works, a bit of plastic isn’t going to stop it. If it doesn’t, then it doesn’t matter where you put it.
The repellent function drains it way faster than the light alone. 12 hours on low with both running sounds about right for that battery. I wouldn’t expect much more.
Eh, the carabiner on the 5 is bigger but it’s still plastic, so I wouldn’t trust it with any real weight or rough movement. If you’re just dangling it off a thin belt loop, fine. Anything thicker and you’ll probably wrestle with it.
Thick wool is sort of the ultimate test for these things, and I haven’t seen many people chime in with actual experience on that. I’d be surprised if it handled a heavy chunky knit without some flattening, just based on how the air flows in those cabinets. Let us know if you try it, I’m curious.
It’s not just you. I definitely feel a difference when cutting on mine, it’s like the blade has a harder stop with less give.
Tried one on a car that had been sitting for a few weeks. It got the loose dirt off alright but the dried on mud around the wheel wells needed more than just a spray. Pressure is better than a regular hose nozzle but it’s not magic. Fine for a quick rinse if you keep up with it.
Mine has the same thing. Annoying at first but honestly the knob still works fine and it cools the room okay so I stopped caring. I’d just leave it unless it actually falls off.
It’s probably not that deep. Heat just hits you faster, cooling is more gradual. I wouldn’t overthink it.
I’ve seen a few people say it’s fine in loud places but I’m not totally convinced yet. The noise cancelling probably helps a bit but the mic still has to pick up your voice through all that background mess. I think it depends on how thick the chatter is more than anything.
I mean, it’s just a mat you plug into the wall. If it makes you feel less jittery, cool, but I wouldn’t expect it to fix anything serious. Feels more like a comfort blanket for adults than actual science.
Mine does the same thing. I just assumed it was normal and didn’t think much of it. Kind of a weird design choice if you ask me, but it doesn’t seem to affect the actual alarm.
I mean, you kind of answered your own question. Drafty room plus a portable heater is always going to be a losing battle for anything not right next to it. The Epicooler is fine for what it is, but it’s not magic.
500 ml is fine if you’re not expecting arctic blast. I just use mine as a personal fan that happens to feel slightly cooler, and it lasts most of the day on low.
I mean, that’s just how Bluetooth works. If your bag’s out of range you get the last known spot, not a live feed. Good enough for finding which terminal you left it in though.
It’s 800 watts in a 120 sq ft room. You’ll feel it, it’s not useless. Just don’t expect it to replace your furnace.
Waking up a few times a night is pretty normal biologically, even if it’s annoying. If you’re not dragging through the day, I wouldn’t stress over it. Bodies just do weird stuff sometimes.
I set my old one with a plug timer, so the auto shutoff on this thing just feels like doing the same job but with extra steps. Not really saving time if I still have to mess with the timer before I leave.
Wattage is wattage so the bill won’t change. But my old heater made the air feel dead and stuffy. If the Epicooler moves air around differently it might feel more comfortable even if the power draw is the same.
Feels like one of those things where you’d only really know if you tried it, and I haven’t bothered yet. Speaker’s loud enough on my desk, but bags muffle everything. Let me know if you actually test it, I’m not holding my breath.
It’ll probably work. The HDMI port just needs to be functional, not fancy. If the TV turns on and has an HDMI input, Flixy should be fine.
I mean, it’s not a water softener so I wouldn’t expect miracles on hard water scale. Probably helps a bit with the chlorine smell and maybe some sediment but I’d keep expectations low.
