Mine makes a little noise when it first kicks on, but once it’s been running for a minute I honestly don’t notice it. I wouldn’t call it silent exactly, but it hasn’t bothered me while I’m reading or watching stuff.
I skimmed through the replies and honestly, I think it depends a lot on your connection and how much background noise there is. Mine handles most fast talkers fine unless they’re really mumbling or there’s a lot of street noise around me. I wouldn’t worry too much unless you’re in a really loud spot.
I think it’s just the nature of the far-infrared heat, it’s more of a deep warmth that creeps up on you rather than a blast of hot air. I barely notice it at first but after about ten minutes I can definitely feel it working into my shoulders.
I’ve got one and my ceiling isn’t insulated either. It definitely runs more often than it would in a well-insulated room, but it still keeps the area around me comfortable enough that I don’t mind. I wouldn’t expect it to cool the whole space evenly, but for sitting at my desk or on the couch it’s been fine.
I think it’s one of those things where if you’re expecting it to cool the whole room you’ll be disappointed, but if you just want a nice breeze on your face while you work it’s totally fine. I keep mine on my desk and it definitely makes a difference when it’s warm, especially with ice in the tank. It’s more about that direct feeling than actually dropping the temperature in the air.
I’ve used mine on a pretty breezy patio and honestly it still caught stuff, maybe not as many mosquitoes but plenty of little flies and gnats. I think the light is strong enough that it still pulls them in as long as there’s not a full wind storm going. I’d say give it a try, it’s worked well enough for me.
I mean, if the clutter is really bad you’re probably not getting much direct UV on the surfaces behind the couch or whatever, but the air still gets cycled through. I’ve got a pretty full room myself and it still cuts down on musty smells and static air. So it’s not useless, just maybe not hitting every single corner.
I’d probably just go for it and see how it works for you. The jump from a toy drone to something with basic stabilization is usually pretty noticeable even if the 4K isn’t perfect. I wouldn’t overthink the specs too much, mine does what I need for quick travel clips.
I’d probably just leave it be honestly. That little beep is probably nothing to worry about, mine does the same thing and it’s never been an issue.
It’s not really meant for long-range tracking, so if your bag is far away you won’t get a live update. The app just shows the last place it connected to your phone, which can still be helpful if you remember where you last had it. For airport travel it might give you some peace of mind, but it’s not like a GPS tracker for your suitcase.
I haven’t had mine long enough to test a ten day gap myself, but honestly the whole “learning” thing feels a bit vague. I just plug it in and drive, not really tracking what it remembers or forgets.
I think that damp feeling is just what these things do, it’s not a big deal. Works fine for me when I just want some air moving on my desk without the full AC. I’d say it’s fine for what it is.
Honestly, I wouldn’t stress about it. I’ve had mine plugged in for a while and the light stays on, no drama. I figure if it’s not messing anything up and the bill isn’t going up, it’s fine.
Honestly, I wouldn’t overthink the LED. It’s probably just there to add a bit of extra visual deterrent at night, but I doubt it’s the main reason it works. Mine’s been running for a few weeks and the animals seem to steer clear, so the ultrasonic is doing its job fine. The light is just a nice bonus for me.
Honestly, I’d probably just grab it and not overthink the ice hardening. For daily cooking, most decent knives will last a good while before you actually need to pull out a stone.
I think it might just need a few charge cycles to settle in. Mine acted kind of similar at first but then got more consistent after a week or two.
I dunno, I think people might be overthinking the battery drain a bit. It runs for like three minutes every six hours, that’s basically nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Honestly, I wouldn’t overthink it too much. If they’re both pulling the same wattage, the difference on your bill is basically nothing. I’d just go with whichever one feels better to sit near.
I’ve had mine on my desk for a couple months now and it’s been fine on medium for maybe like three or four hours before I remember to plug it in. Honestly I don’t really keep track, it just runs until I’m done working.
I think it’s basically the same frequency, so yeah it’d block NFC tags too. I don’t use NFC tags myself but I’ve got mine sitting next to my transit card and it definitely stops that from getting read when I don’t want it to. Works for what I need it for anyway.
I think having them right behind your head might actually be fine depending on the soundbar. I’ve got mine sort of angled down from a shelf behind my couch and it works for me but I’m not totally sure if that’s the ideal setup. Maybe try them at ear level first and see if it feels overwhelming before moving them higher.
Honestly, mine does the same thing with the IR on medium. I just keep a power bank handy when I’m out for a while, it’s not a big deal for me.
Battery life is what it is for something this small, I just plug it in when I’m at a cafe or in the hotel room and it’s fine. Roaming speeds have been okay for me, never really noticed a huge difference unless I’m in the middle of nowhere.
It took me a solid five or six nights before the shape stopped feeling weird. I’m about two weeks in now and I don’t even think about it anymore, just wake up with less tension in my shoulders.
They’re not a big deal, I think most people just put up with them. Small thing: fingerprint sensors often don’t like the plastic, so maybe use face unlock or a PIN while you ride. Texting and calls usually work through the pouch, just a bit fiddly sometimes.
Quick tip: point the speaker toward likely cat pathways instead of straight at the pots so the sound covers the route they use. Try switching the frequency every few days since animals can get used to a single tone.
I had one in my daily driver and after the learning miles I saw a tiny uptick, maybe around 1 mpg. Car did feel a bit smoother so I just left it in, nothing dramatic though. Low-key happy with it.
