6 de August de 2026 at 07:10 in reply to: Glokore Therapy Mask vs old red light panel, anyone switch? #6594
Mike Jensen
MemberHonestly I think the whole “which one is better” thing comes down to what you’ll actually keep using. For me the mask wins just because I can wear it while doing dumb stuff around the house. Yeah the panel probably hit more surface area, but I wasn’t using it half as often.
3 de August de 2026 at 09:11 in reply to: PestVault vs. the old peppermint spray I used to buy? #6379Mike Jensen
MemberI think the main thing is just remembering to swap the pouch out. The spray was fine but I always forgot to do it, so it kinda lost its point for me. The pouch is more of a set it and forget it thing until the month rolls around. Not totally sure it works any better, but it fits my routine easier.
2 de August de 2026 at 08:37 in reply to: ClairLite UV lamp safe to run while I’m in the next room? #6304Mike Jensen
MemberI think you’re fine as long as the door is shut. UV-C doesn’t really bounce off walls or sneak through gaps like that, it’s more about direct exposure. I usually just set the timer and walk out, then come back when it clicks off. Probably worth giving it an extra minute or two before you open the door again though, just to be safe.
29 de July de 2026 at 17:07 in reply to: Mounting the Qinux ScryneX on a brick wall – any tips? #6068Mike Jensen
MemberI’ve never mounted anything on brick myself but I’d probably just wing it with whatever hardware came in the box and hope for the best. It’s not like the screen weighs much so I can’t see it being a huge deal.
Mike Jensen
MemberI think people overthink this. It’s a fan, it makes some noise, just turn it on low and you’ll barely notice it. Way better than that old rattler you’ve got.
20 de July de 2026 at 17:38 in reply to: BareEarth Grounding Mat leaving a faint mark on my floor? #5589Mike Jensen
MemberI noticed the same thing and just threw a thin rug under mine. Problem solved and the mat still works fine.
19 de July de 2026 at 20:17 in reply to: How do you hold the Qinux Gravizer for longer projects? #5534Mike Jensen
MemberI think it’s partly just getting used to the weight after a while. I remember feeling the same on my first longer session but it seemed less noticeable after a few tries.
19 de July de 2026 at 09:11 in reply to: NuraFix hydrophobic coating — does it actually last or is it just marketing? #5490Mike Jensen
MemberI haven’t really tested the hydrophobic part much, I just wanted the scratches gone. The shine is still there after a few weeks so I’m not complaining.
19 de July de 2026 at 06:43 in reply to: Does the Aptofit actually need a phone nearby to work? #5481Mike Jensen
MemberPretty sure it needs the phone for GPS if you want actual maps or distance tracking. The step counting and basic stuff logs on the watch itself, but anything more detailed seems to rely on the app being connected. Not a huge deal for me personally.
18 de July de 2026 at 13:11 in reply to: Back Restore heat setting – is it actually useful or just a gimmick? #5439Mike Jensen
MemberI doubt it’s a dud, mine is the same way. I just turn it on anyway and forget about it after a minute or two.
Mike Jensen
MemberIt’s just full hour increments, so 2 hours works fine. I wouldn’t overthink it, it shuts off when you set it.
Mike Jensen
MemberI’d just go for it honestly. I toss mine in a card slot in my travel wallet and never had it fail to ping when I checked. The cover isn’t thick enough to be a problem.
13 de July de 2026 at 06:21 in reply to: Dustaclean nozzle for keyboard use – does it actually fit? #5089Mike Jensen
MemberThe name “Dustaclean” makes it sound like it was made for keyboards, so I get why you’d wonder. I think the brush is more for sweeping crumbs off the desk than actually jamming between keys, though.
12 de July de 2026 at 12:29 in reply to: ODIN SafeWave EMF on a laptop — does it stick well near the heat vents? #5047Mike Jensen
MemberI stuck mine near the vent too and honestly haven’t paid much attention to it since. It’s been a few weeks and it’s still on there, so I’m not really worried about it.
9 de July de 2026 at 17:49 in reply to: Does the Glacier Breeze actually need the ice chamber to work well? #4867Mike Jensen
MemberI’ve only ever used mine with water and it works fine for me. The ice chamber seems like more hassle than it’s worth for most days.
2 de July de 2026 at 12:42 in reply to: Can NanoPolix handle old oxidation or just fresh stuff? #4344Mike Jensen
MemberI think it does okay on older oxidation, just don’t expect miracles. I used it on a friend’s faded red truck and it knocked down the worst of the chalky look without much effort. Good enough that you’d notice the difference from across the street, but you wouldn’t call it restored.
1 de July de 2026 at 05:44 in reply to: Blink Outdoor motion detection zones – how precise are they? #4236Mike Jensen
MemberI just drew a box over a tricky spot where my neighbor’s flag was setting it off and it stopped completely. Works fine for me, doesn’t seem to miss anything else in the driveway.
Mike Jensen
MemberI had the Clip 3 and the clip on that was kind of a pain to get around thicker straps. From what I’ve seen of the 5 it does look like a bigger opening, so I’d guess it’s easier. Not sure if the plastic is any different but it seems fine for light use.
Mike Jensen
MemberI noticed mine gets warm too but it’s never been hot enough to worry me. The collar itself works fine for tracking my dog around the yard, so I just charge it and don’t really pay attention to the charger temp.
Mike Jensen
MemberHonestly, I’ve used mine for a full wash on my SUV and it didn’t die until I was basically done. Even if it cuts out a minute early, you’re just wiping down a wet car at that point. Not a big deal.
23 de June de 2026 at 22:37 in reply to: Qinux HydroXeltor for car washing – does the pressure actually hold up? #3740Mike Jensen
MemberI just use mine for a quick weekly rinse and it does fine, never tried it on heavy mud though. The pressure is definitely better than just a plain hose nozzle, but I wouldn’t expect miracles on stuff that’s been baked on for a while.
23 de June de 2026 at 17:11 in reply to: Can the Epicooler handle a room with no ceiling insulation? #3716Mike Jensen
MemberI mean, it’s a portable unit not a whole house setup, so ceiling insulation isn’t really the end of the world for it. It’ll probably just run a bit longer to keep up, but you should still feel the difference sitting near it.
21 de June de 2026 at 20:50 in reply to: Glacier Breeze battery life claim with the ice chamber? #3581Mike Jensen
MemberAlright, that all makes sense. I think I was just overthinking it because the fan felt cooler and I was running it longer on a higher setting. Appreciate the replies, I’ll stop worrying about the ice cubes now.
21 de June de 2026 at 11:39 in reply to: Parking mode on DashOne Pro — does it drain the car battery much? #3548Mike Jensen
MemberI’ve had mine plugged in with parking mode for a few months now and honestly haven’t noticed any battery issues, even after leaving the car sitting for a couple of days. The motion detection seems pretty conservative about when it actually starts recording. I think as long as your battery isn’t already on its last legs, it’s probably not something to lose sleep over.
