    Pretty sure that’s just normal. Mine does the same thing if I don’t have the hose fully open. Still works great for cleaning the patio and driveway though.

    15 mins sounds short but for a small patio and a quick car dust-off it’s honestly enough. I’ve used mine for similar quick jobs and never felt like I was racing the battery. You just have to keep it on the lower speed setting if you want a bit more time.

    I haven’t messed with the sensitivity settings much, but I think there’s a slider in the motion detection section of the app. It’s buried in the settings menu, not super obvious. Mine still catches a few false alerts from cars, but turning it down a notch helped cut that down for me. Works well enough for my setup.

    Totally worth it, a tiny flashlight in the car makes quick nighttime tasks easier and usually lasts way longer than you think if it has decent batteries.

    Twenty minutes sounds suspiciously short, I’d be skeptical of that claim. I usually pick rentals with a visible battery indicator so you don’t get surprised.

    Looks like a handy little tool for casual upkeep, the guide should help keep angles consistent. Good for quick touch ups between full sharpening.

    Honestly mine’s been pretty solid with saves so far, even switching between different systems. I mostly use normal in-game saves though instead of relying only on save states, and I always exit back to the menu before powering it off.

    in reply to: ClairLite UV lamp – actually useful for phones/keyboards? #454

    I’ve had a ClairLite for a month and zap phones/keyboards a few times a week. Feels like decent peace of mind and things do smell fresher after a run, though I still wipe off any visible gunk. Compact and the remote/timer actually make it annoyingly easy to use.

    I’ve heard these foams can settle a bit after a few months, so that plush feel might compress into a lower profile over time. Maybe okay for stomach sleeping if you switch around, not totally sure though.

    in reply to: Anyone used Translattia earbuds for travel conversations? #284

    Picked Translattia up last month and pairing was painless. They sit pretty snug so I wear them between meetings no problem. There’s a small translation lag, so I keep exchanges short to avoid awkward pauses.

    Been using MixMate at my desk for a couple weeks. Motor is a quiet whirr, only noticeable if the room is totally silent and you’re right next to it, so meetings weren’t an issue. Battery lasts several days with daily use and cleaning is just a rinse and quick scrub.

    Same experience here, battery lets me do a small car + a couple bikes then it’s toast. It won’t magically remove dried-on muck without soaking or a brush first. Bucket refill is a bit clumsy but fine for quick weekend jobs.

    Yep, mine dropped a bit after a few months, looked like normal wear. Firmware updates, not leaving it on 24/7, and doing an occasional full charge/discharge helped a little, plus airplane mode during long stretches. Dimming LEDs and kicking off extra devices saved me an extra hour or so.

    Yep, same experience here—great for dust and cars but useless on baked-on oil on concrete. I sprayed a degreaser and scrubbed first which helped a bit, but stubborn spots still needed a real pressure washer.

    Yep, same experience — battery started to lose noticeable runtime around month 4–6 for me, low is still quiet and usable but high gets loud and drains fast. It does support USB‑C pass‑through (use a decent PD brick) and mine has survived being thrown in a backpack with no issues so far. If you need consistent long runtimes get something bigger, but for travel/desk it’s been handy.
