People keep hyping the data saver mode like it’s some magic fix, but if your signal is decent it’s barely noticeable. The battery backup is more useful if you’re moving around town, but for a static home setup it’s just an extra device sitting there. Not really overkill, just unnecessary if you’re not actually traveling.
Pretty sure that’s just how these things work. If the room’s already wet you’re not getting any cooling out of it, just more humidity.
Works fine for me. I notice the red light when I’m brushing too hard, but it’s not something I think about constantly. Does what it’s supposed to do.
Not really sure what people expect from a device in this price range in total darkness. It’s not like you’re gonna get broadcast quality footage.
Mine slides out fine, never really thought it felt flimsy. Works fine for what it is, just a handle on a scale.
I’d be more worried about the outlet location than the humidity honestly. If it’s near the sink or tub you’re asking for trouble no matter what the safety specs say.
I wouldn’t lose sleep over the hum thing. I just need it quieter than my AC unit and it’s fine for that.
Not really a big deal honestly. I’ve used mine in a noisy bar and it was fine. The translation gets a bit laggy sometimes but still understandable. Just don’t expect it to be perfect.
I just use a file freehand and it works fine for me. Never saw the point in adding another gadget to the toolbox.
I’d be more worried about the user than the tool if it skips or scratches. Going too fast or pressing too hard is probably the issue, not the engraver itself.
I think you’re overthinking it. The lamp still covers whatever it can reach, and that’s better than doing nothing. Half a room cleaned is still half a room.
Honestly, I asked the question and after reading through the replies, it sounds about what I figured. No one actually tested it against a real meter. Guess I’ll just keep using the finger stick and treat the watch numbers as decoration.
Thread pretty much answered itself. Thanks for the input.
TV mode works fine for pulling out voices, so you’ll probably catch more than you do now. Whether it’s worth it depends on how much the missing dialogue actually bothers you. I’d rather just bump the TV volume myself, but that’s me.
It’s not heavy, if that’s what you’re worried about. Straps hold it fine, but you’ll notice it’s there after ten minutes. I wouldn’t call it uncomfortable, just not something you forget about. Works fine for what it is though.
I popped my own SIM in and it worked, but I wouldn’t call it a game changer. Feels like the whole thing is just a middleman for whatever network it grabs onto.
Honestly, I’d probably just try it and see what happens. If it slips, a piece of tape or something under the front would fix it fast. Not really something to lose sleep over.
Mine stayed put from the start, but I also made sure to really press it into my teeth during the molding process. Might be worth redoing the mold if it keeps slipping.
I’d probably just look at the weight and expect it to get pushed around if the wind picks up. Not totally sure why people expect a cheap foldable to be a rock in the air. If it’s working for you near the coast on a calm day that’s fine, but maybe don’t try to fly it in actual wind and then complain.
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.
