Mine mostly lives in my car trunk for hotel parking lots and it’s been handy for blowing crumbs out of the cupholders too. For shelves I’d just keep the trigger barely pulled and sweep the dust toward the floor instead of fighting it in the air. It’s small enough to store in a suitcase which is why I grabbed it.
Mine’s been in a stuffed wallet for about 4 months now and it still rings every time I test it. Signal was never an issue for me, even with cards right on top of it.
Mine actually handles it better than I expected. I’ve got clips from a trip last month where I’m riding in and out of tree cover and the shadowed sections still show plenty of detail. The sky blows out a bit in those spots instead, which I’ll take any day. So I don’t think dark shadows are just how this camera works, might be worth checking your settings.
I usually turn mine off when the ceiling fan is running because the airflow from above seems to fight the cooler’s output. In my hotel room last month it actually felt warmer with both going. So I just pick one depending on where I’m sitting.
I’m charging mine roughly every five or six days, but I’m also not home a ton so it’s not like it’s working around the clock. I mainly use it when I’m actually around to hear if it makes a difference. Honestly, the charging hasn’t bothered me that much.
I actually had the same thing happen the first few days. The side stabilizers felt like they were poking right into the sides of my knee when I was sitting at my desk or in the car. I almost loosened the whole thing up out of frustration. But after about a week of wearing it off and on, it seemed to settle into place better. Maybe the padding softened up a bit or I just got used to where it sits. I also found that if I pull the brace up just a touch higher on my thigh before I sit down, the stabilizers line up differently and stop digging in. I travel a lot and wear it on longer flights sometimes, so I know exactly what you mean about sitting for a while. It does get more noticeable the longer you stay seated. I would give it a bit more time before you give up on it.
I really wouldn’t overthink the daylight thing. UV-C is UV-C, and the bulb is doing its job whether the curtains are open or not. The bigger thing for me is just making sure I’m not in the room when it’s running, since that’s the part that actually matters. I run mine mostly at night anyway just because it’s easier to remember to stay out of the way.
I keep mine in the car and use it for ash after camping trips, so it gets that fine gray dust pretty often. It picks it up fine, but I do have to tap the filter out afterwards or the suction drops noticeably. Takes like thirty seconds, so not a big deal for me.
That’s pretty much how it goes. I’ve used mine a few times on little door dings and the same thing happened to me. The first couple times I was in a hurry and just didn’t give it enough time to break down all the way. A quick second pass with a dry part of the cloth usually sorts it out.
I’ve also noticed it depends on how much pressure I’m putting on it. If I’m too light with it, the film shows up more. Once I started pressing down a bit firmer and doing a few extra circles before wiping it off, I stopped seeing it as much.
It’s not a big deal anyway, it’s not like it ruined the paint or anything, just looks a little cloudy until you clean it up.
Mine handles heating fine noise-wise, but I can tell it’s working harder than in cooling. It’s not a huge deal to me, but if you’re super sensitive to hum at night, you might notice it. I just run it during the day when I’m moving around.
I get the comparison because they’re both for back pain, but they really don’t feel the same to me. The TENS always felt kinda tingly and surface level, whereas the Back Restore is more of a heavy, thumping vibration. It’s like the difference between a buzzer and someone actually working out a knot, if that makes sense.
I travel a lot so mine gets moved around constantly, mostly between hotel rooms and my home desk. I wouldn’t mount it on a wall I cared about. The adhesive hooks might hold for a bit but these things are meant to be picked up and shifted, not fixed in one spot.
For me the placement made more difference than the settings. I moved mine off the nightstand and onto the floor near the foot of the bed, and the air actually reaches me instead of just blowing over the top of my head. In a small room like that it works fine for me, I just had to mess with where it sat for a couple nights.
Not by a long shot. I’ve had mine sitting behind a bookshelf in a hotel room once and it still grabbed the local channels fine. These things are a lot more forgiving than the old school ones, so a few feet from the window shouldn’t be an issue at all.
I wouldnt say its redundant exactly. I use mine in a normal wallet with a few cards and its nice having that extra layer even if my passport has its own sleeve. Plus if you ever take the passport out or carry other documents, the card covers those too.
I think it just depends on whether you want to mess with reapplying stuff. I travel a lot so the pouch is easier for me to toss in a bag and not think about for a few weeks. The spray worked but I always forgot to bring it along.
I picked one up mostly for when I’m working from hotel rooms, but I’ve used it at a desk before too. If you sit close enough and fill it with cold water, you’ll definitely feel it on your face and arms. It’s not going to fix a whole dead zone in the office, but for just your own little spot it does the trick.
Filters aren’t too pricey from what I saw, maybe around 20-25 bucks each. I just swap mine when the pressure starts feeling a bit weaker, usually every couple months or so. Not something I stress about.
Mine came with three sizes in the box, small included. I don’t have tiny ears myself but the small ones seem pretty tiny, so you’ll probably be fine.
I mean, I noticed a little something on my floor too after a while, but it didn’t really bother me. It just kind of blended in after a bit.
I think people overthink controller size sometimes. They look fine to me and I don’t see why they’d be a problem unless your hands are huge.
I’d probably give the tape a shot just to see if it changes anything, even if the humidifier already helps. Worst case you waste a few strips and find out it’s not for you. I travel a lot and pack both sometimes, but honestly the humidifier does most of the heavy lifting for me.
I’d probably just leave it plugged in and not overthink it. Most of these sticks are built to handle being powered on most of the time anyway. If the TV cuts power when it’s off, that’s even less to worry about.
I’d probably just toss it in a duffel bag if I was traveling, so the shape wouldn’t matter much either way.
I’ve used mine in a hotel room that was pretty humid and honestly it didn’t feel worse to me. Still felt like moving air which is better than nothing. I think if you’re expecting it to work like AC you’ll be disappointed but it does circulate air fine.
