I picked one up mainly for our downstairs guest bath and it has made a difference with that closed-in smell. The thing that surprised me is it takes a bit longer than I expected. The first couple of times I ran it I wasn’t impressed, but after using it a few times a week for maybe three weeks, the room stopped having that stale smell when you walk in. I also like that I can just set the timer and leave the room, no spraying stuff everywhere. It’s not going to replace actually scrubbing the toilet or anything, but for the between-cleaning smell situation it did what I hoped. Curious if you’ve tried just leaving the door open sometimes too?
That bit about the gloves actually makes sense to me. I hadn’t thought about the greasy hands side of it, but that alone might sell me on a quick wipe since I’m usually handling the tool right after the saw. Good to know the grip didn’t seem to change either way, that was my main concern. A minute of wiping sounds like cheap insurance even if it’s not strictly required.
I’ve been wondering the same thing before I pick one up, since the oil part never really comes up in reviews. The chain on my old saw gets pretty gunky after a few sessions, so I’d probably give it a quick wipe just to keep things from getting sticky. Does the oil actually mess with how the tool grips the teeth at all?
I’m not sure you can really judge that from the outside. I picked a platform because the batteries felt solid in the store, and three years later they’re still easy to find, so it worked out, but that was mostly luck on my part.
The constant noise is what got me, not the volume. I had mine a few feet from the bed and even on low that steady sound sat right at the edge of my awareness all night. Moved it across the room and that did the trick for me.
Thanks for all the replies, that clears it up for me. I mostly wanted to know before ordering so I don’t get caught losing a level mid-play. Sounds like I can make it work either way, so I’ll probably grab one.
I’m still deciding on this drone so I haven’t charged one myself, but red-to-green seems to be the norm with these little chargers. The one thing I’d actually check is whether the battery feels warm after it flips, since that tells you more than the light sometimes.
The heat settings part is what I’d focus on first. A lot of these plug-in heaters are basically just on or off, sometimes a low and high, but nothing in between. So if it only has one high setting and you want it for everyday use in a small office, that’s worth knowing before buying. I’ve looked at a few of these compact ones while comparing options and the lack of a proper low setting was the thing that kept making me hesitate. A small room heats up fast, so running something on full blast the whole time feels like overkill. Having a lower setting or a thermostat would matter more to me than the top power number. The auto shutoff is nice for safety and it being lightweight is handy if you want to move it around, but for daily use I’d want to be able to dial it down instead of just on or off.
I’d reapply it mainly if you like how it makes the paint look, not because of the UV claim. I grabbed a bottle for my car a while back and it did fine on light marks, but I never treated it like actual sun protection.
I haven’t tried it on a sink yet, but I used it on a shower drain with a lot of hair and it worked pretty well for me. The water drained way better after one treatment, and it stayed that way for a while. I did notice some hair came up when I flushed it, so it’s not just pushing everything down.
I would just skip the rug entirely if I were you. My sister has a P1 and she tried it on one of those low pile runners she has in her bedroom and the numbers were noticeably different from when she used it on the tile in her hallway. Not wildly off but enough that she noticed, especially the body fat percentage. The handle part seemed fine but the foot readings were the issue. She ended up just keeping it propped against the wall in the bathroom and sliding it onto the bare floor when she uses it. Takes two seconds. The scale itself she really likes though, she sends me her little reports all the time and the app seems pretty solid. So the scale is good, just pick your surface carefully.
I actually use mine differently for ears than my nose. For ears I pull the outer ear back a little with my other hand first, which opens things up way more than any angle change. Takes like ten seconds per ear and I catch way more of the fine stuff that way. Just thought I’d throw that out since the manual doesn’t mention it.
I actually prefer the app over a dedicated monitor now. The old monitor meant I had to be within range of the receiver, but with my phone I can check the camera from anywhere. Sure, it’s an extra step to open the app, but the flexibility wins for me.
I actually disagree with the broom comment. I’ve used a little handheld blower on my screened porch and it handled the light dust way faster than sweeping ever did. You just have to go slow and not blast everything at once. For a carport I think you’d be fine.
I kind of disagree that the zoom being blurry is just how it is. Mine actually surprised me the first time I tried it. I was parked behind a car at a light and zoomed in on the plate just messing around, and I could read it fine when I pulled the card and looked on my laptop. On the little screen it looked rough but that screen is tiny anyway.
Where I notice it fall apart is if the car is moving or if it’s evening. Then yeah, forget it, it’s mush. So I think it depends way more on conditions than the zoom itself being useless. If you’re standing still in decent light I’d say try it again before writing it off. Not something I use daily but it’s saved me once when a guy backed into me in a lot, so I’m glad it’s there.
I’d probably skip the separate cutter for now. The one on my opener does the job, but I still find myself reaching for it less because I forget it’s attached until I’m already wrestling with the foil. So it’s less about it not working and more about me not using it out of habit.
I actually skipped the curved one completely and used the flat adhesive pad from an old phone holder I had lying around. Stuck it to the side of my helmet and it’s been solid for two months of commuting. The included mounts felt like more hassle than they were worth.
I’ll be the odd one out here. The self-cleaning cycle is the part I use least, weirdly enough. I got mine mainly so my matcha wouldn’t clump and I could stop dragging a whisk around, and it does that fine. But I still rinse the cup as soon as I’m done because I don’t like the idea of anything sitting in there. The few times I did run the cycle with soap and water, it handled the inside fine. I just don’t think that’s the hard part anyway. The outside and the bit around the lid are what I end up wiping down with a cloth. So for me it’s less “self-cleaning mug” and more “easier to rinse out than a regular one.” Maybe if you’re okay with a quick rinse, you’ll be happy with it. If you want zero touching it after a shake, I’d probably look at something else.
I picked up the DappSmile a few weeks ago mostly for coffee stains, and the tip thing confused me too at first. What ended up working for me was just sticking with the flat tip on the front teeth and running it on the soft mode. It did feel strange the first couple of times, kind of like it wasn’t doing anything, but I noticed the surface stains on my front teeth fading after about a week of using it every other day.
The pointed one I keep for the back where there’s more room to maneuver. On my front teeth it felt like too much control was needed and I kept second guessing my angle. So I just stopped fighting it and made the flat tip my default for anything up front. Not saying that’s the “right” way, it’s just what felt less risky to me. My gums have been fine so far, no irritation or anything.
That little gurgle is actually one of my favorite things about mine lol. It just sounds like the water shifting around when you tilt it, and it still cools the same after months of moving it room to room.
Mine picks up the barking even with the door shut, so the wall thing is overblown in my experience. But the ultrasound outside honestly seemed weaker to me, like it got lost in the open space. My dog reacted way more indoors than in the yard.
I actually don’t think daytime is where these shine. I’ve had a pair for a few months and the sun glare reduction is pretty mild compared to just wearing regular sunglasses. Where they really made a difference for me was evening driving when the sun is low and bouncing off the windshield. For bright midday roads I’d probably just grab normal polarized sunglasses instead.
I’m not really worried about the exact number since it connected fine in Malta and Gozo for me last month, and those aren’t exactly huge markets. It grabbed a local carrier on its own within a minute or two, no settings fiddling at all. I didn’t test it on some tiny island though.
Mine actually stayed put on a desk for a few weeks, but I ended up moving it because it was way too low to do much for the room. Sitting at that height it just kind of blew at my knees. Once I had it up higher it felt like a completely different unit, so I get why people mount it.
Mine did the same thing in my garage, and it wasn’t even that warm yet. I got maybe two and a half weeks before I couldn’t pick up the scent at all. I just started marking the date on mine so I stop guessing when to swap them.
I’d actually disagree with the idea that the screen can’t be involved. Not saying the ScryneX is bad, but I tried gaming on a friend’s similar fabric screen once and something felt off to me too, even though he swore it was fine. Could just be how our eyes adjust to the surface, but you’re not crazy for wondering.
