    Fine for movies if you don’t expect much.

    The cord is just for charging, so you can walk around.

    Probably too bulky for everyday office wear.

    in reply to: Vanotium board vs old plastic one for raw chicken? #11461
    SarahMSarahM

    I got one for my husband since he does most of the chicken prep, and he actually uses it now instead of avoiding the job. It rinses off fine with hot water and soap, no scrubbing marathon. Stains from turmeric and berries did leave faint marks though, so it’s not magic.

    I bought one for my dad as a gift since he likes messing around in the yard, and I’ll admit I was the skeptical one. The dial does actually change the spray, it’s not just for show. But here’s the thing, I wouldn’t buy it expecting it to replace a real pressure washer. For what it is, a hose attachment, it’s decent. My dad uses it for the car and the back steps mostly, and he says the stronger setting is enough for light grime. If your patio has years of baked on dirt, this isn’t going to cut it. If it just needs a rinse and a bit of scrubbing, it’s fine. So I’d say useful for basic stuff, just keep your expectations realistic.

    I bought a pair for my dad as a gift and he’s been using them for a few months now with no extra charges popping up. The app nags you to create an account, which I find annoying, but that’s not the same as a subscription. He mostly uses the basic two way translation and hasn’t mentioned any paywalls.

    in reply to: Does the Aptofit need a specific app or any fitness app works? #10939

    I think you do need their app for most of the health stuff. I tried skipping it with my sister’s watch and half the readings never showed up anywhere else. Steps synced fine, but that was about it.

    in reply to: Does the Glokore Filtered Showerhead fit standard shower arms? #10642
    SarahMSarahM

    I bought one for my parents’ place and it went on their shower arm with no adapter. Their setup is pretty basic though, so I can’t say every rental will be the same. If yours looks standard, it should thread right on.

    I would just download the app first and look at the list before buying the earbuds. That is what I did with mine, and it took two minutes to see what I needed. If the language you need is not there, no point in ordering them at all.

    in reply to: Qinux VultrioX vs the old metal blade head? #10330
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I tried one for a couple months and it did fine on my normal yard stuff. The main thing I noticed is it feels a bit different in your hands than a blade, takes a little getting used to. I wouldn’t say it changed my life, but I haven’t felt the need to switch back either.

    in reply to: Can the Qinux BreezaMax sit on a nightstand without tipping over? #9552
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I’d be more worried about the cat than the fan, honestly. Mine sits on a pretty small table and it’s never even come close to tipping when I’ve accidentally knocked it reaching for my phone. The base feels heavier than the rest of it, so it doesn’t seem top-heavy at all. If your nightstand is flat, I think you’re fine.

    It keeps flashing as long as the pin is out. There’s no timer on it that I’ve seen. For what you’re describing, that’s probably what you want, but just know that means you’re the one who has to stop it if it goes off accidentally.

    in reply to: Wood Ranger Power Leaf Blower okay for cleaning out a garage? #9416
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I got one mostly for the garage and it does push dust and grit out of corners fine. You just have to be careful not to blast stuff deeper under shelves or workbenches. The battery only lasts about 15 minutes, which is enough for a quick sweep but not a marathon cleaning session.

    in reply to: Qinux WarmPro timer or does it just run until you unplug it? #9239
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    Mine doesn’t have a timer either, but I actually found that’s fine for how I use it. I just got into the habit of switching it off at the wall before I leave the room. The auto shutoff if it tips over gives me a bit more peace of mind if I forget.

    I’d say it depends on how picky you are. For everyday window cleaning it’s fine, the spray covers the area evenly enough. Just don’t expect it to look perfect right up to the edges every single time.

    in reply to: Does SavingStars compare to the old powder I used to buy? #9003
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I actually think the foam is what makes the difference. The old powder I used barely did anything and I ended up snaking the drain anyway. This stuff at least seems to get moving whatever is in there. If it bubbles up that much, chances are it’s working its way down.

    in reply to: Does the Qinux Talkbuds work with any Bluetooth phone? #8397
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I got these mainly for travel and they pair fine with my Pixel. No weird connection drops or anything so far. I just turned them on, picked them in Bluetooth settings, and that was it.

    in reply to: Does the Qinux Dogitek actually work for pulling on leash? #8234
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I’d say it depends on how much you want to rely on a remote during walks. I’m the type who forgets to bring the remote half the time, so for me it wasn’t worth the hassle. If you’re consistent about carrying it, the vibration might help, but I preferred working on the pulling with a harness instead. Less to keep track of.

    in reply to: Does the Qinux WarmPro make the room feel stuffy after a while? #7500
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I haven’t noticed that with mine. I usually leave it running while I’m reading in the evening and the air stays fine. Could be the size of the room or how long you’re running it for.

    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I get why people think it overcounts, but mine is the total opposite. It barely registers steps unless I’m actually walking with some purpose. Puttering around the kitchen or carrying laundry does nothing on mine. Odd how they seem to vary so much from unit to unit.

    in reply to: Does Tagsley work if it’s not in an Apple device case? #7350
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    The case doesn’t matter at all since the card is in your wallet anyway. I keep mine in a purse and it shows up fine whenever I need to find it. The Find My network does the work, not your phone being nearby.

    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    Mine does the same thing and I think it’s just the compressor stopping when it reaches the temp. It’s more noticeable if the room doesn’t change much. I wouldn’t call it a setting, more just how it works.

    in reply to: Does the ResQVac mask fit snugly on a small adult? #6281
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I wouldn’t overthink it. These emergency devices just need to sit over the mouth and nose long enough to create suction. Unless someone has an unusually tiny face, the adult mask should be fine. You can always keep the child mask nearby if you’re really worried.

    I get the hesitation, but honestly the trend tracking is the one part that makes sense to me. It’s less about the exact number and more about seeing if things shift over a few weeks. I’d say if you’re consistent with when you weigh yourself, the app gives you a decent picture without being overwhelming.

    Never really noticed the noise being an issue when my brother used his at a family dinner. It was more of a low hum than anything startling.

    Honestly, I think it handles it pretty well from what I’ve seen. It picks up the language switch on its own without you having to tap anything.
