    Only bring it if it’s tiny and runs on common batteries you already carry; otherwise it’s extra clutter you’ll probably forget about. Local stations can be fun to stumble on, but for a short trip I’d skip packing spares.

    Like it for quick outings, keeps the bottle from smelling and I don’t fuss with it. For multiday trips I’m meh, charging and extra weight make me usually grab a plain insulated bottle instead. If I’m car-camping or can charge easily I’ll bring it…

    Not true, clearcoats aren’t immortal, but they usually keep paint looking fine for a few years of normal daily use before major dulling shows up.

    Not sure who said the sticks are useless, but I think they’re fine for casual fighting matches. Maybe not tournament level, but I can pull off combos without much fuss. Battery life on medium was okay for me too, a couple hours on a commute.

    Not as life-changing as the ads make it sound, but pretty handy for older relatives who want something simple and nearly invisible to wear, tho.

    Bought one last winter and left it on overnight a few times; mostly quiet but the fan can hum so I’m not convinced it’ll slash your heating bill unless you actually turn down the main thermostat. For the price it’s fine as a little spot heater though.

    Fits in a side pocket of my carry-on and is really light, so storing it or taking it on trips is no hassle. That said, I think the fast wrinkle-fix hype is overblown, maybe it needs months not weeks.

    I’ve got one and zap towels and stuffed toys now and then. They do smell cleaner after a cycle, but I wouldn’t skip an actual wash. Handy for quick touch-ups, though I’m skeptical about the bigger claims.

    Looks like a decent little tool for quick personalization, compact enough to tuck in a craft drawer. Grip seems comfortable for short jobs and it won’t intimidate a non-technical person. Not what pros use, yet handy for making simple gifts, labels and small custom touches around the house.

    in reply to: Anyone tried Clima Pest Guard in a bedroom or on a porch? #332

    I think it does better in small enclosed spaces than out on an open porch. Maybe that’s why some people still wake up with bites, not totally sure though.

    Nice that your neck felt supported. Does the cover seem decent and washable? I avoid pillows with thin covers so curious if this one feels built to last.

    Thanks, helpful replies. Good to know about synthetic corks and the noise.

    Main thing I’m wondering is battery life. Can it handle a day of short vlogs and rides without swapping batteries? If not, carrying spares would ruin the pocketability.

    Bluetooth can be a bit flaky for me on the commute, especially in subway tunnels and crowded platforms, so calls sometimes drop. Otherwise they’re handy for quick walking calls.

    I haven’t seen constant updates like some people, only a couple in six months, so maybe it’s hit or miss. The remote is cheap but usable for simple stuff, I don’t mind it. One app did disappear after an update here too, which annoyed me.

    in reply to: Small plug-in heater: worth the switch? #134

    Used it a few nights and ended up returning it.
    Nice and light and warms quick, but the fan on low still bothered me when it sat on my nightstand.
    Kept my ceramic instead; only switch if you really need the portable quick heat.

    Yeah, same vibe here — not a gale unless it’s on max, low is enough for me through a workday (roughly 5–7h), and charging while running is slower. Hinge does feel a bit flimsy and it gets scuffed if tossed loose in a bag, so I use a little pouch. Overall handy for travel though, just don’t expect miracle airflow.
