I just grabbed a card when I ordered mine and it worked out fine. You’re probably better off picking your own anyway since you can get a bigger one for not much money. I’d say factor that into the price and you’ll be set.
I change mine every 2 months, but that’s because my water is pretty heavily chlorinated and I can smell it when the filter starts giving up. If your water is decent, 3 months is probably fine. I’d rather swap it early than deal with the filter being useless for a few weeks without knowing.
It’s probably worth a shot. I ran mine in a spot that was basically surrounded by interior walls, not even close to an outside wall, and it still grabbed a decent amount of channels. The window might help, but it’s not like the antenna refuses to work without one.
I’ve been using mine straight from the tap since I got it a few months back. Both at home and when I’m at work, I just fill it up under the sink and hit the button. I never really thought about it needing anything special because the whole point for me was just keeping the bottle from getting funky, not turning tap water into some lab-grade pure thing.
The way I see it, the UV part is doing its job on whatever is already in the water and on the bottle walls. If you’re on city water that’s already treated, there’s not much in there to begin with. I noticed pretty quickly that the bottle doesn’t get that weird smell if I leave it in my car for a day, which used to happen with my old plastic bottle all the time. That alone was worth it for me.
I’d say go for it if you’re just using regular tap water. It’s not like the bottle knows or cares where the water came from. The only thing I’d keep in mind is that it’s not a filter, so if your sink water tastes like chlorine or has sediment, you’ll still taste that. But for basic everyday use, tap water is totally fine. I haven’t bought a single bottle of water since I got mine.
The whole ice thing seems like a lot of extra work for what you get. I tried it a few times when I first got mine and yeah, the air feels cooler for maybe fifteen minutes, but then you’re just stuck with a wet mess at the bottom and a pack that needs to go back in the freezer. For me, the fan alone is doing the heavy lifting anyway. If it’s pointed right at you, it’s doing its job. The ice is more of a gimmick for that initial blast of cold. I’d rather just use the water tank and not have to plan my day around freezer space. It’s still a solid little desk cooler without it.
Personally I’d skip the dash and stick with the windshield. Even if it holds at first, heat and vibration will probably make it give up eventually. Textured plastic just doesn’t give that cup a clean seal, and I’d rather not find out mid-drive.
Mirroring is one of those things I only pull out when I actually need it, and in my case it’s been okay. Not amazing, but okay. I’ve casted a few videos from my phone while on a trip and it held up fine as long as I wasn’t moving around too much. If you’re just parking it somewhere and watching, you’ll probably be fine with it.
I think if you’re already comfortable working off a ladder with one hand, the Jetterix won’t be what throws you off. I’m the opposite though, I prefer keeping both hands free and just use mine from the ground for whatever I can reach. The spray is strong enough that I don’t feel like I’m missing much by not being right up close.
I have one and I mostly use it for older platformers and RPGs. The save states have been pretty reliable for me so far, no crashes or anything weird. I wouldn’t trust them for anything super complex, but for casual play they get the job done.
Fifteen minutes is probably enough. I’ve used mine for quick stuff like that and it’s fine. Not like you’re trying to clear a football field.
I think the 14 hour claim is probably under perfect lab conditions or something. I get closer to 11 or 12 hours out of mine, but it still works fine for a whole evening which is all I really need.
I think it’s probably just part of how these things work. I’d probably just run it and not think too much about it unless it gets way stronger.
I haven’t timed it exactly but it’s pretty quick. I plug it in and by the time I sit down I can feel the warmth. Not instant but close enough for me.
I think the heat is just a low level thing by design. It’s not going to feel like a heating pad but it takes the edge off.
I gave it a try on an old single stage paint job and it worked out fine for me. Did the job on some light oxidation without any issues.
I’m at about four months with mine and the battery is still showing as full in the app. I was expecting it to die sooner since I use the find sound a lot, but it seems to hold up fine so far.
I’d say if it’s already snug, you’re going to feel it. That extra millimeter adds up, especially in a tight cardholder.
I’ve had mine for a couple months and I honestly forget the sensor is even there most of the time. It does light up red every now and then when I’m rushing, but I haven’t really changed my brushing because of it. It’s more of a nice-to-have than a game changer for me.
Honestly, I think it’ll work for what you’re describing. The IR isn’t amazing but it’s not useless either. I can see enough to tell if there’s movement on my sofa from across the room. Probably not gonna give you crystal clear detail but for spotting a dog it should be fine.
I haven’t really kept track of exactly how long mine lasts, but I just plug it in when I think about it and it’s never been an issue for me.
Alright, fair enough. Sounds like it’s more of a preventative thing than a cure, which makes sense. I’ll probably grab a couple just to see if it cuts down on anything, but I won’t expect miracles.
I mostly just notice the lack of smell with mine, which is the main reason I got it. The blade feel thing never really crossed my mind while using it.
I’ve seen a few people say it feels cheap, but I think for basic touch-ups it’s probably fine as long as you’re not forcing it. The angle guide seems to hold steady enough for what most of us need.
It’s basically a fancy fan with a damp sponge effect. You have to sit pretty close to feel it, but the mist does make it feel cooler than just air moving around.
I’ve had mine for a few months now and it’s been fine for everyday stuff like t-shirts and socks. The UV part I don’t really think about, but things come out dry and not musty, so that’s good enough for me.
I’ve used mine on a breezy patio and it still caught a fair amount of gnats and small flies. The light seems bright enough to pull them in even with some wind.
I haven’t tried it on a dark blue car myself, but from what I’ve seen darker finishes usually hide the little stuff better anyway. If the scuffs are light it’ll probably knock them down enough to not bother you.
I think with ice it definitely feels cooler right in front of you, but you have to be right there next to it. Not sure how much it helps if you’re trying to cool down the whole bed area while you sleep.
