Mine has been rained on a few times and it still does its thing. I don’t move it, but I did notice the light flickers a bit during a downpour. Not sure if that’s normal.
Cord length made that call for me too. Mine ends up close to the wall whether I like it or not, and it’s run fine for a few months now.
I’d just get a second one if your dog is really all over the place. Mine handled one room fine but once my dog started pacing the whole floor it was pretty useless.
Stretching works better than anything else for me. I do like ten minutes on the floor and I’m out. No gadget needed and it travels fine.
I actually keep mine in the same slot as my contactless cards and it’s been fine for about three months now. Taps still work every time at the store. Maybe it depends on the wallet thickness or something, not sure.
Still deciding on one myself. The sliding thing is the part that makes me hesitate, since I sharpen on an old bar mostly. Good to know it can work though.
Mine has been fine for nightly use. The buttons click okay and it responds quick enough for me. I had to get used to the layout but that took like two days.
Mine’s only been up about three weeks so I’m no expert, but the IR thing hasn’t seemed to matter much. What I’ve noticed is the birds that show up at night are mostly just passing through anyway, so they’re not hanging around long enough to get bothered. The regulars during the day couldn’t care less. I did get one clip of a possum staring straight into the lens though, so at least something’s interested in it.
I use the brush on my armchair cushions and it pulls up way more dog hair than the slim nozzle. Takes a few passes but works. Only had mine a week though so still messing with it.
Rescanning didn’t do much for me. Mine picked up about 20 channels and stayed pretty much the same after that. I’d say just use the scan once and leave it.
I’ve used mine out on a covered patio a bunch of evenings and it made a difference for me. Not like the whole patio got cold, but if I was sitting right next to it with a drink, that moving air plus the dampness felt pretty good compared to just sitting there in still warm air. It’s kind of the same deal as inside, you want it close, not across the yard. I ended up keeping mine maybe two or three feet away on a little side table and it was fine for a couple hours. Refilling it is the only annoying part, but that’s true anywhere. If your patio is covered and not super humid, I’d say dragging it out is worth trying at least once.
I mostly just use the adapter and let my phone sit in my pocket. Keeps it simple. Charging in the car isn’t a big thing for me anyway.
Mine scratched a little on the first pass but it was mostly surface stuff. My wire brush did way more damage over the years. The stainless head isn’t the problem, old rusted grates just mark easy.
Red light can help with healing but I don’t think it targets pigment directly. Mine faded some old marks over a few months but it was slow.
Mine actually did better in winter than summer, which seems opposite of what most people say. My apartment gets pretty drafty and I figured it would be useless once it got properly cold, but it kept my little living room comfortable enough that I stopped dragging out my old space heater most nights. I ran it pretty much every evening from November through February last year. It’s not going to blast you out of the room or anything, but it held its own way more than I expected for something this small. Cooling side is honestly where I was less impressed, took forever to notice a difference in July. So if heating is your main worry, I wouldn’t count it out.
I’d probably just order it and set it up when it arrives. I don’t really see the point in planning around it like it’s a big install, worst case you charge it overnight and fiddle with the app the next day.
The built-in cutter on mine wore out after a couple months, so I wouldn’t rely on it long term. A cheap standalone one has lasted way longer for me.
Not sure why everyone keeps saying you need a window. I’ve had mine sitting on a bookshelf in the middle of my living room for about four months now and it pulls in all the local stuff just fine. No window anywhere near it. My place isn’t huge either, so it’s not like I’ve got some magic setup going on. I get the major networks plus a few extras and that’s really all I wanted when I dropped cable. The picture comes in clear enough for me. I get that location matters and all that, but the window thing seems overblown from what I’ve actually dealt with. If you just want the basics for local channels, it’s been fine for that.
I couldn’t tell either on my first try. I did a quarter panel and waited closer to five minutes because I got distracted, and it still buffed out fine. Shine held up for a couple weeks too.
The pressure thing is kind of overblown on paper but in real use it does make a difference with mud. I mostly grab mine for the wheel wells now, way less scrubbing there. Still use the hose for the rest though.
I haven’t had that problem, but mine sits on a shelf above the desk, not right next to the monitor. Down on the desk I could see it pushing paper around since the airflow is pretty directed.
I’ve had mine since spring and I use it maybe once a month on my truck just to knock down the little scuffs from work. Paint still looks the same as it did before I started using it, no dull spots or anything weird. I think the whole thing is just a mild abrasive, so as long as you’re not pressing hard it’s probably fine.
I can see why you’d ask. My port is under the dash sort of facing the floor, so the SynGas hangs down a bit. I was worried about it too, but after a few weeks I just stopped thinking about it. It’s been maybe two months now and it hasn’t moved or caused any issues.
The only thing I’d say is make sure it’s not in a spot where your foot or knee hits it when you get in and out. I had mine angled once where I kept bumping it getting in, and it eventually popped loose. Once I pushed it back in and let it hang the way it wanted to, it’s been fine since. The learning thing seems to just happen on its own, it doesn’t care which way it’s pointing. I wouldn’t stress about getting it positioned perfectly, just plug it in somewhere it won’t get knocked around.
I think the shape is close enough that you won’t feel like you’re learning all over again. The main thing I noticed was the extra firmness in the back, but that went away after a few nights. I wouldn’t say it’s a huge adjustment, just different enough that you notice it the first week.
That twitchy feeling is pretty much what it’s supposed to do once you turn it up. The prickly part might just be your skin getting used to it. I’d say keep it where it feels strong but not uncomfortable and work up from there.
