I doubt there’s some huge water savings, but it’s not total BS either. You’re basically just not dumping water everywhere like with an open hose, so yeah, you probably use less if you’re actually cleaning something instead of flooding the yard. I wouldn’t buy it based on that claim alone, but it’s not a lie.
Honestly I think the snagging worry is overblown. Unless you’re shoving your bag into tight spaces constantly, the pin isn’t going to just fall out on its own. I’ve had mine clipped to a belt loop for months and it’s never gone off by accident.
They help a bit, mostly by making it harder for a casual pickpocket to just unzip your bag without you noticing. But if someone really wants your stuff, they’ll just cut the fabric or grab the whole thing. For the kind of peace of mind you’re talking about on a crowded bus, it’s probably fine, but don’t expect it to stop a dedicated thief.
Mine runs about 4-5 hours on medium if I’m being generous. Not exactly advertised numbers, but it does the job for a work session.
People make too big a deal out of the green light flickering. It’s probably just the unit cycling or whatever they do, it’s not like it’s a warning siren. If the thing was broken you’d know by now.
I mean, I’d probably just assume half that number and be pleasantly surprised if it lasts longer. The whole “up to 2 years” thing always depends on how often it actually triggers, so a few alerts a day is gonna eat into that. I wouldn’t plan your life around the max estimate.
Mine was tight too. I just left it in for a few minutes each night rather than forcing it all night and it settled down after maybe a week. Still snug, but not painful or anything.
Battery life is about what I expected from something this small, honestly. I don’t bother with a power bank, just charge it when I’m at a desk.
