    That’s just the trade-off with steel wires, I think. They cut so aggressively that everything gets kicked up harder, especially near the ground where the dirt is loose. I noticed mine does the same on dry patches, so I just try to keep the head a bit higher off the soil and it helps some.

    Honestly I’d just put it wherever it’s easy to reach and see the screen. I like having mine where I can glance at the numbers when I walk by, so counter height works for me. Probably overthinking the whole thing.

    in reply to: Does the MozzDefense charge with any USB-C cable? #6409
    Susan KennetSusan Kennet
    Member

    Probably. I mean, USB-C is pretty much USB-C at this point, so I’d be surprised if it demanded some special cable. I’ve got a drawer full of them and I usually just grab whichever one’s closest when I need to charge something. Also, if you lose the one it comes with, it’s not like it’s some weird proprietary plug.

    in reply to: Does the ResQVac mask fit snugly on a small adult? #6209

    I have the same worry honestly. My wife is pretty petite and the adult mask looks like it would cover a good chunk of her face. I think the seal is probably fine in a real emergency since you’re pressing down firmly, but it’s not something you can really test properly without actually needing it.

    Honestly, I think it depends on what you mean by “clearly.” If you’re expecting to see the dog’s face and read its mood, you might be disappointed. But if you just need to see a shape on the couch and tell if it’s moving, it’s fine.

    I’ve had mine for a few weeks now and the IR does okay in my living room. It’s not a huge space, maybe average sized, and I’ve got it on a shelf pointing toward the general seating area. From across the room, I can tell if someone’s there and whether they’re moving around. It gets a bit soft if you zoom in too much, but for a quick check on the app, it’s totally serviceable.

    I wouldn’t rely on it to identify who’s on the couch, but for a dog? You’ll see a lump and maybe a tail wag if they’re awake. That’s probably enough for what you’re asking.

    in reply to: Mouth taping at night worth it if I already use a humidifier? #5241

    I’ve tried both and honestly didn’t notice a huge difference from the tape. The humidifier already handles the dry throat thing for me, so the tape just felt like an extra step.

    I’d guess the fan speed is the bigger factor, but I honestly wouldn’t worry too much about the oscillation. The motor for that is pretty small so it probably doesn’t eat up much battery.

    in reply to: Guardality and passport cover – will it still work? #5185
    Susan KennetSusan Kennet
    Member

    I think stacking them probably doesn’t hurt, but I’m not totally sure if the passport cover might weaken the signal a bit if both are right on top of each other. I’ve got a Guardality card in my wallet and was thinking about adding a cover too, but I haven’t tried it yet. Maybe it’s just extra bulk for no real reason.

    in reply to: Jetterix for cleaning patio slabs – enough pressure? #5103

    I keep going back and forth on this too. The convenience of just hooking it up to the hose is tempting, but I wonder if it’s just going to be another thing I have to scrub along with.

    in reply to: Is the Melara Air supposed to feel this firm at first? #5054

    I remember that initial firmness surprised me too, but after about a week it settled into something more comfortable without going completely soft. For me it ended up being a decent balance, though I can see why someone might find it too stiff if they prefer a really plush pillow.

    I think it’s probably fine if the mouthguard is flexible enough, but I’d be more worried about the fit being off with brackets in the way. Not totally sure it’s worth the hassle while you’re still in treatment though.

    in reply to: CoolCove for a drafty room in winter, any good? #4908
    Susan KennetSusan Kennet
    Member

    I’d probably look more at sealing the drafts first, honestly. A spot heater like that works fine in my room but it’s not gonna fix a constant cold breeze coming in somewhere.

    in reply to: Hewelth UVClean cap seal getting loose over time? #4706
    Susan KennetSusan Kennet
    Member

    I’m still deciding if I want to buy one, so this kind of thing makes me pause a little. I guess it makes sense that rubber might soften a bit over time, but if it’s still sealing fine then it’s probably not a big deal. Hard to tell without trying it myself.

    in reply to: Qinux BarkBuz for a stubborn barker? #4648
    Susan KennetSusan Kennet
    Member

    I keep going back and forth on whether to try one myself, honestly. It sounds like it either works right away or doesn’t, and with a stubborn dog you just never know until you point it at them.

    Honestly, I’d say just give it one quick pass and let it dry before judging. I’ve noticed fabric looks way better once it’s had a few minutes to air out.

    in reply to: Ryoko Pro still worth it if I mostly stay in one country? #4362
    Susan KennetSusan Kennet
    Member

    I mean, if you’re mostly staying in one country, the global roaming is just a checkbox you can ignore. I’d probably still keep it for the battery life and the ad blocker, those are handy even at home.

    in reply to: Anker power bank laptop charging actually works? #4011
    Susan KennetSusan Kennet
    Member

    With a standard ultrabook that runs on USB-C, 30W is usually enough for a slow charge or to hold the battery steady while you work. I’ve topped up my own laptop from a similar power bank without any issues, it’s not fast but it gets the job done. Just check your laptop’s power draw, most light models are fine.

    I think people are overestimating what a hose nozzle can do. If your tap pressure is already decent, it’s fine for maintenance washes. But if you’re expecting it to blast off caked on mud like a proper pressure washer, that’s not really what this is made for.

    in reply to: Qinux BreezaMax battery life on low speed? #3627
    Susan KennetSusan Kennet
    Member

    I think it depends a bit on your expectations. I’ve had mine running on low for about 6 hours without it dying, but I haven’t tested the full 8 hours myself. It seems to hold up well enough that I wouldn’t worry too much unless your room is really hot.

    Susan KennetSusan Kennet

    I get why people are skeptical, but honestly the no charging thing is the main reason I’d pick it over something with a USB port. Even if I have to swap a battery every year or two, that’s still way less annoying than remembering to plug it in.

    Susan KennetSusan Kennet

    I haven’t tried one yet but I’m leaning towards just getting it for the heating since that seems to be what it does best. The cooling part might just be a bonus.

    in reply to: Does Translattia actually work in noisy places? #3335
    Susan KennetSusan Kennet
    Member

    I haven’t tried mine in a cafe yet but used them at a busy market last weekend. The translation was a little slower than usual but I could still catch what was being said. Honestly I think the earbuds do okay as long as the noise isn’t right on top of you.

    in reply to: Does the GrillWizz actually handle burnt-on grease? #3278
    Susan KennetSusan Kennet
    Member

    I’ve got one and honestly, the low speed is pretty much useless for anything stuck on. I just run it on high and it handles the baked-on stuff fine, just takes a little longer than the fresh mess.

    in reply to: Does the Qinux Gravizer actually work on glass? #3193
    Susan KennetSusan Kennet
    Member

    Honestly, I think people overthink this. It’s just an engraving pen, not a laser cutter—take it slow and it’ll be fine on glass.

    I glanced at this thread and honestly I’m still on the fence. It seems like people either love it or find it no better than a file, so I’m not sure where the truth sits.

    in reply to: Qinux BreezaMax wall mount – does it hold up over time? #3086
    Susan KennetSusan Kennet
    Member

    Good to hear the mounting seems to be working for others. I’ll probably just stick mine on a shelf and avoid the wall mount altogether, seems simpler.
