18 de July de 2026 at 08:22 in reply to: Does the MixMate need specific batteries or will any brand work? #5421
Tom in NYCMemberIt’s just standard AAs, nothing proprietary about it. I wouldn’t waste money on fancy batteries for a mug stirrer.
17 de July de 2026 at 21:03 in reply to: Glokore Therapy Mask worth it for acne or more for anti-aging? #5405
Tom in NYCMemberI’d say it’s probably trying to do both, but I wouldn’t bet on it being a game changer for acne. The blue light might take the edge off a pimple here and there, but it’s not replacing a real spot treatment or anything. If you’re mainly after breakouts, I’d look elsewhere first.
Tom in NYCMemberWorks fine for me. I just set it and forget it, does what it’s supposed to do.
Tom in NYCMemberI’d probably worry less about the voice recognition being perfect and more about whether the device actually pronounces the words right in the first place. If the playback sounds off, repeating it won’t help much.
15 de July de 2026 at 15:06 in reply to: JetClean battery life on patios — does it last long enough? #5252
Tom in NYCMemberI’d just try it and see. Battery life isn’t amazing but for a small patio with some moss it’ll probably get the job done before it dies.
14 de July de 2026 at 19:10 in reply to: Flixy setup question – can I keep it plugged in all the time? #5199
Tom in NYCMemberI doubt keeping it plugged in is going to wear anything out. These things are basically cheap little computers, they’re meant to be powered up most of the time. If your TV’s USB port stays live after you turn it off, it’s still just sipping a tiny bit of power, not enough to matter.
14 de July de 2026 at 06:46 in reply to: ResQVac suction strength question for anyone who’s used it #5154
Tom in NYCMemberIf the suction is noticeable on skin, it’s probably fine for most situations. A piece of bread off a counter is one thing, but I’d want to see it tested on something denser before I feel completely sure. Not like I’m planning to test it on myself, though.
8 de July de 2026 at 22:55 in reply to: How long does the iTagPro battery actually last for you? #4814
Tom in NYCMemberSix months is probably optimistic but mine’s been fine for about five now. Still showing full battery in the app and I use it daily for my keys. Not complaining.
Tom in NYCMemberDrafty rooms are tough for any spot heater, honestly. If the cold air is constantly leaking in, the CoolCove will probably struggle to keep up unless you seal the drafts first. It works fine for maintaining temp in a normal room, but it’s not a miracle worker. I’d fix the drafts and then see if you actually need it.
Tom in NYCMemberKinda weird that people make a big deal about the app icon. I’d be more interested in whether the Bluetooth connection drops out on one OS more than the other.
30 de June de 2026 at 08:15 in reply to: CarbonOne Safe vs old plug-in CO detector: does the display stay on all the time? #4178
Tom in NYCMemberHonestly, I’ve got one and the screen is always on, but it’s not some blinding light. It’s more like a dim clock display, barely noticeable unless you’re staring right at it. Wouldn’t lose sleep over it.
Tom in NYCMemberFrom what I remember, the low speed is supposed to give you around 8-10 hours, so it should be fine for a full night. I’d still keep the cord nearby just in case, but I doubt you’ll need it.
20 de June de 2026 at 16:45 in reply to: Black Falcon Drone 4K at 60fps, or is that just marketing? #3493
Tom in NYCMemberIt’s a budget drone, so I wouldn’t expect cinema-level specs. If the footage looks smooth enough to use, that’s basically what you paid for.
Tom in NYCMemberHonestly, even if it does just snap on and off, I’d still want to check how tight the fit is after a few uses. Sometimes those clip things loosen up once they get greasy.
19 de June de 2026 at 21:58 in reply to: Epicooler heating vs cooling, anyone else notice one is way stronger? #3442
Tom in NYCMemberI don’t really care about the heating side, I bought mine just for cooling and it’s fine for a small room if you sit close enough. The heating being stronger doesn’t bother me since I’d never use it anyway.
Tom in NYCMemberMine’s been fine, no real drop off that I’ve noticed. Could be you’re just using it more often lately without realizing it.
17 de June de 2026 at 09:32 in reply to: Qinux BreezaMax remote range – anyone else notice it’s short? #3236
Tom in NYCMemberMine works fine from maybe 8 feet, so yours might just be a dud. I keep mine on my desk at work though, so I’m never really trying to use it from across a big room. Might be worth exchanging if it bugs you.
Tom in NYCMemberI use mine mostly for naps on the couch and it does seem to help me drop off faster. The cord length hasn’t been an issue for me since I just plug it into a nearby strip.
13 de June de 2026 at 18:40 in reply to: Qinux BreezaMax wall mount – does it hold up over time? #2951
Tom in NYCMemberI wouldn’t worry too much about it falling off. Mine’s been on the wall for a couple months now and it’s still up there. The hooks seem solid enough for something this light.
10 de June de 2026 at 17:18 in reply to: Can I use Back Restore on a soft mattress or does it need to be on the floor? #2733
Tom in NYCMemberFloor works best if you want the traction to actually do something. On a soft mattress it just sinks in and you don’t get the same stretch.
Tom in NYCMemberIt’s probably just the water sitting. Most of these coolers get a bit funky if you leave water in them, especially in warmer weather. I wouldn’t overthink it, but emptying it when you’re done isn’t a bad idea.
Tom in NYCMemberI’ve had the same thing happen with my phone in the passenger seat, but honestly it could just be the cable getting jostled at a bad angle. Hard to say if it’s the distance or just bad luck with interference.
9 de June de 2026 at 06:01 in reply to: Does Omnihear work well enough for watching TV in a quiet room? #2590
Tom in NYCMemberTV mode is probably fine for a quiet room. That’s basically what it’s designed for. I wouldn’t expect miracles but it should help with the dialogue you’re missing.
8 de June de 2026 at 20:27 in reply to: Does remote control lag get worse if you use it from a different room? #2570
Tom in NYCMemberWalls definitely matter for some of these controllers, especially if it’s just a cheap IR thing. Distance alone usually isn’t the issue until you’re way far, but a wall or two can kill the signal quick. Could also just be the hotel room layout messing with it more than usual.
Tom in NYCMemberMine holds the angle fine on a desk, no slipping issues. The tilt range is decent enough for me but I wouldn’t call it huge. Stiffness feels about average, not loose.
6 de June de 2026 at 06:11 in reply to: Does the Matsato blade stay sharp long enough for daily cooking? #2382
Tom in NYCMemberI’d be more concerned about how often you’re actually going to bother sharpening it than how long it lasts. Most people let their knives get way duller than they think before they do anything about it.
