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.
4 de June de 2026 at 19:48 in reply to: Does the Black Falcon Drone actually handle wind okay? #2291
Tom in NYCMemberI wouldn’t overthink it for the price. It’s light, so you’ll feel the wind, but I’ve had worse luck with other cheap drones in the same breeze. The footage stays usable if you’re not expecting gimbal-level stability.
3 de June de 2026 at 11:41 in reply to: Dustaclean runtime actually 30 mins or less in real use? #2159
Tom in NYCMemberNever timed mine, but 30 minutes feels generous even without the brush. That thing drains fast once it’s actually pulling air through something.
Tom in NYCMemberI think that’s probably just the battery working after a few hours, but I’m not totally sure either. Maybe it depends on the signal strength where you’re using it.
Tom in NYCMemberIt’s fine for sleep if you just want rough trends, but don’t expect anything precise enough to base decisions on. The size is nice for travel though, way easier to forget than a watch.
30 de May de 2026 at 21:31 in reply to: Does the Glokore Filtered Showerhead actually help with hard water? #1873
Tom in NYCMemberI think people expect too much from a showerhead filter when it comes to hard water. It’s not a water softener. You’d need a whole house system for that. This thing is more for the chlorine and maybe catching some rust flakes so your skin doesn’t feel as dry. The film is probably still gonna show up on your glass.
30 de May de 2026 at 18:08 in reply to: Anyone use the AlarmTag on a backpack while traveling? #1859
Tom in NYCMemberMine’s been clipped to the outside of my bag for a few months now and I haven’t had it snag on anything yet. I think people overthink this stuff.
30 de May de 2026 at 09:14 in reply to: Do I really need to pair smart lights with a hub or not? #1818
Tom in NYCMemberHonestly, if you just want to turn one lamp off from the couch, the app is fine. Once you get more bulbs, Bluetooth gets annoying because they all need to be in range of your phone. Hub is overkill for your use case but it saves headaches later if you expand.
Tom in NYCMemberYeah, that tight feeling is pretty standard with boil-and-bite stuff. It should loosen up a bit after a few nights as the material molds to your mouth. If it stays too tight after that, you might have molded it wrong.
