Tom BriggsMemberIt’s the kind of thing you have to feel out. I’ve been using strong mode a few times a week for a while now and my gums haven’t complained. The trick is to not press hard and let the tip do the work. If you’re not waking up with sore gums the next day, you’re probably fine.
12 de August de 2026 at 11:55 in reply to: AiraBreeze actually cooler when the water is cold or does it not matter? #7016
Tom BriggsMemberCold water mainly helps if you’re not running it for long stretches. I keep a bottle in the fridge for the first hour or so when I’m sitting right next to it, but after that it’s just tap water. The difference is noticeable at first but it fades fast enough that I wouldn’t call it a game changer.
Tom BriggsMemberI’d hold off for a bit. The pup is still in that window where they’re learning what barking is for, and using the device now might just confuse them about when it’s okay to make noise. We waited until our dog was closer to six months and it was a lot easier to tell if it was working or if he was just scared of it.
Tom BriggsMemberStandard pillowcases do fit, but they look a bit sloppy. The wings stick out and the fabric bunches up around the middle. It stays on fine all night though, so it’s not worth buying special ones unless the wrinkled look bothers you.
10 de August de 2026 at 13:05 in reply to: Ozoori placement in a small fridge, any spots that work better? #6887
Tom BriggsMemberDoor spots tend to get warmer, so I kept mine on a middle shelf just to be safe. I figure the air circulates better there anyway. It seems to handle smells fine after the first couple days, but I wouldn’t expect it to work miracles if something’s already gone bad in the back.
Tom BriggsMemberIt’s a 2.7 lb box, so I never expected hurricane force from it. The fan mode is just there to keep the air from going stale while the unit does its thing. If you want a real breeze, get a cheap desk fan.
Tom BriggsMemberOld wiring or not, the thing just plugs in and sits there. I’ve got a place from the 50s and the green light comes on fine.
I think people expect too much from it. It’s not going to fix actual wiring problems. If your outlets are loose or something, that’s a different issue entirely.
For what it is, it does what it says. I wouldn’t expect miracles, but it’s not hurting anything either.
Tom BriggsMemberI got one for my desk a few months back and it’s fine if you’re sitting right next to it. The mist setting actually helps a bit when the air gets stuffy. Not a total game changer but better than nothing for sure.
Tom BriggsMemberMine’s a tiny electric saw too, and it clamped on okay. Didn’t feel like it was going to fall off or anything.
13 de July de 2026 at 09:50 in reply to: Is the Melara Air supposed to feel this firm at first? #5102
Tom BriggsMemberIt’ll probably soften a bit, but I wouldn’t expect a huge change. I kind of prefer it firmer anyway, so it didn’t bother me.
Tom BriggsMemberHigh speed drains it noticeably faster. Oscillation doesn’t seem to make much difference in my experience.
9 de July de 2026 at 06:27 in reply to: WaveMax for an older TV without built-in digital tuner? #4816
Tom BriggsMemberShould work fine. The antenna just sends a signal, doesn’t care how old the TV is. As long as you have a converter box with a coaxial input, plug the WaveMax into that and run a channel scan.
8 de July de 2026 at 10:48 in reply to: Does the Glokore Filtered Showerhead make a difference with older pipes? #4746
Tom BriggsMemberI’ve got old pipes and saw some brownish gunk in the filter after a couple weeks. Water felt softer but hard to say if it’s doing much for rust.
7 de July de 2026 at 21:14 in reply to: SleepZee says it works from night one but anyone actually notice that? #4717
Tom BriggsMemberTook me about a week before I stopped drooling on my pillow, honestly. It works fine now but that first night claim is a stretch.
Tom BriggsMemberI think they work fine with both. The app looks a little different but it’s not a big deal unless you’re swapping phones every five minutes.
4 de July de 2026 at 12:31 in reply to: How often do you actually take your dog for a haircut? #4479
Tom BriggsMemberMy wife is the one who usually books it, but I think ours ends up being around 9 weeks most of the time. The fur around the eyes is really the only thing that makes me notice, so I get it.
Tom BriggsMemberI think people overthink this stuff. I just use mine when I’m out at night and it shows me what I need to see. Not gonna win any awards but it works.
Tom BriggsMemberCharging isn’t too bad, I just throw it on the cable when I remember. Not really something I think about much.
29 de June de 2026 at 16:25 in reply to: CarbonOne Safe vs old plug-in CO detector: does the display stay on all the time? #4138
Tom BriggsMemberIt stays on all the time. I have one in my hallway and the numbers are always there. Might be a little bright for a bedroom at night if you’re sensitive to that.
29 de June de 2026 at 07:49 in reply to: Does the FitiBeats LCD case show battery level for each earbud? #4098
Tom BriggsMemberNah, the LCD only shows the case battery. I think the earbuds themselves don’t show up there individually. Works fine for me though, I just check my phone if I need that.
Tom BriggsMemberThey seem fine for just sitting around. I wouldn’t trust them if you’re moving a lot, but for normal use they do the job.
28 de June de 2026 at 18:46 in reply to: TP-Link RE700X: Does it work with non-TP-Link routers in access point mode? #4069
Tom BriggsMemberAccess point mode should work with any router, that part is fine. I just wish it had a second Ethernet port, one feels a bit limiting if you actually need wired connections for multiple things.
23 de June de 2026 at 22:04 in reply to: Qinux HydroXeltor for car washing – does the pressure actually hold up? #3737
Tom BriggsMemberI picked one up mostly for patio cleaning and gave the car a quick rinse after. It did okay on light dust but I wouldn’t count on it for dried on mud.
Tom BriggsMemberSocial mode handles noise better than I expected, but it’s not magic. In a loud restaurant it still picks up some clatter, but voices cut through enough for me to follow conversations. I’d say it’s worth trying if you’re not expecting total silence.
21 de June de 2026 at 08:12 in reply to: Epicooler heating vs cooling, anyone else notice one is way stronger? #3533
Tom BriggsMemberIt probably is just how heat hits you faster, but I’ve also noticed the fan speed feels lower in cooling mode unless you bump it up manually. Once you do that it moves air well enough for a small room.
12 de June de 2026 at 10:11 in reply to: Wood Ranger Power Leaf Blower good for blowing out a car? #2843
Tom BriggsMemberYeah, I pretty much figured it’d be fine for a quick blast. Good enough for what it is.
