I got mine from a listing that clearly listed the case as included, and it was in the box. If the listing you’re looking at doesn’t say it’s included, assume it isn’t. That’s the only thing that matters here.
High ceilings basically turn these into a personal heater. Mine keeps my feet warm under the desk but the rest of the room stays cold, so I stopped expecting it to do anything for the space itself. If you want the room warm, this isn’t it.
The whole “you need their app” thing is overblown. I’ve been running mine through a third party app for about six weeks now and my steps and sleep sync fine. Heart rate is the only thing that’s spotty, but I never trusted that on a watch like this anyway. What I did notice is that if you don’t open whatever app you pick at least every couple of days, the watch just stops pushing data and you lose chunks of it. So it’s less about which app and more about actually opening it. The manual being useless is pretty standard for these. I wouldn’t bother switching apps at this point if the one you’ve got is already pulling your steps, that’s the main thing most people actually look at. The rest of it is questionable no matter what app you use.
I waited closer to ten minutes once because of a phone call, and it turned into a sticky mess that just smeared around instead of buffing out. The whole “it wipes off fine no matter what” thing doesn’t match what I dealt with. Three minutes is probably the ceiling for me.
Then you’re just paying for a viewer that can’t save anything, which kind of defeats the purpose if you ask me. It’ll work fine for looking at stuff in the dark, but if you see something worth keeping you’ll be stuck describing it to people instead of showing them. I’d rather wait and get the card with it than deal with that frustration later.
Honestly not sure the safety guard is the part that matters here. It’s still a small handheld thing you have to position correctly against the nail. If his hands are shaky enough that aiming is the problem, this doesn’t fix that. It just means he won’t gouge himself when he misses.
Mine stayed put fine on carpet, I never had it slide out from under me. The weight of it plus your body on top is enough to keep it planted. Carpet didn’t really seem like it’d be an issue unless you have one of those super slick low-pile rugs.
Mine is noticeably softer too. I actually had to test it a couple times because I thought the battery was weak or something. The old Tile was obnoxious enough to hear from another room, this one I can barely hear if it’s under a couch cushion.
Mine gets warm too, but honestly I’ve never really cared. It’s not like it’s burning up or doing anything weird. If it was actually hot I’d be concerned, but slightly warm after running all night just seems like the thing is doing something. I’d only bother checking it if it started getting hot to the point where you can’t hold it.
Worked fine in a crowded bar once, but that was mostly because the person I was talking to spoke slowly and faced me directly. The noise reduction does something, sure, but it is not magic. If you are in an airport cafe with people talking over each other and announcements in the background, expect it to stumble.
The bigger issue is that it picks up whoever is closest to the mic, so if someone next to you is laughing or talking loud, that can mess things up. I had a conversation where random background chatter got translated instead of what the other person actually said. That was annoying.
For a busy airport cafe, I would say try it but keep your expectations low. It might work if you are in a quieter corner. If you are right in the middle of everything, do not count on it being clear.
Never understood why people expect one pull to fix every possible blockage. That is not how choking works. The device is just a tool, it still depends on what is stuck and where. I would rather have it in the cabinet than not, but I am not treating it like a magic wand.
I haven’t had that problem, but I also don’t expect much from these coated boards. The claims always sound better than the reality. If you’re already noticing smells after a few weeks, that’s probably just how it’s going to be.
I tried the offline mode once before a flight and it was pretty underwhelming. It’ll do basic stuff, but if you’re relying on it for a real conversation, you’re going to be disappointed. I’d plan around having signal.
Different sensor, different algorithm, same story. These things all use arm swing and guesswork. My old one undercounted, this one overcounts. At this point I just use it as a rough gauge and don’t take the number seriously.
If you’re out all day and actually using it, bring the power bank. Mine died way earlier than I expected once I stopped treating it like a novelty and started using it for real conversations. It’s not that it’s terrible, it’s just not as tough as the marketing makes it sound. Better safe than stuck miming at someone.
Mirroring on mine has been decent enough for a quick YouTube or map on the TV, but the quality drops fast if the Wi-Fi is weak. Works fine in a pinch, but I wouldn’t rely on it for anything important.
Own two of these things because I lost the first one and it still handles my coarse hair fine. The blades are fast enough that they just clip it off before anything gets caught.
Mine’s been running in the hallway for a couple weeks and I haven’t noticed anything worse than usual. But I also keep a humidifier going in the winter anyway, so maybe I just don’t notice. Could be more about the room than the heater itself.
Low pressure is usually fine. I’ve used it on a hose that barely pushes water and it still sprays hard enough to knock mud off patio tiles. Not a miracle worker, but it does the job.
My 10 hour experience matches yours. Those 14 hour claims are always tested in a warm room with a fresh charge, not on a cold campsite.
Honestly, I think the blue light thing is just a gimmick if you have actual acne. Not totally sure it does much beyond making your face glow for a few minutes.
Not sure why everyone assumes it’ll be fine. I’ve seen people complain the battery dies way faster than expected once you actually use high pressure on dirt.
It’s probably catching some rust if your pipes are old, you just won’t see much gunk right away. Give it a month or two and then check the filter.
I think it probably depends more on how bad the oxidation is than whether it’s single stage or clear coat. Light stuff might come off okay, heavier oxidation might not budge. Not totally sure it’s worth stressing over too much.
Worked fine for me the first night. I didn’t have any trouble getting used to it, so maybe it just depends on the person.
It’s rubber, it’s gonna get a little softer. If it’s not leaking, I wouldn’t waste time thinking about it.
Haven’t tested video through mine so can’t say I’ve noticed. Maps and music have been fine so far. Might just depend on the app or how your car handles the signal.
