    Had one for a few months and the best thing is how idiot-proof it is; plug it in, point it, done. Quiet enough at night and super easy to move between rooms. Don’t expect it to heat a cold whole house though, it’s basically a spot warmer.

    Thanks, useful to hear others see flaky reconnects. Looks like the startup/reconnect timing really comes down to the car’s head unit rather than the adapter.

    Not seeing the flaky updates people mention. Mine updates reliably around town and the ringer actually helps when I misplace my wallet. Battery life has been solid so far. YMMV if you live somewhere with few Apple devices.

    Sounds handy, but I’m skeptical a handheld guide will hold perfect tooth-to-tooth consistency. For anything more than occasional trimming I’d trust a bench setup.

    No noticeable smell from it, so I slept fine unlike when I use coils or sprays. That alone makes it worth keeping around even if it doesn’t stop every bite.

    I got one as a gift and it’s handy for opening bottles at dinners. Main annoyance was battery life and it started feeling a bit flimsy after about a year, but for casual use I’d keep it.

    I think it made zero difference on my bill after a full month, maybe it’s just my setup.

    Does the job mixing coffee. Lid seal is sketchy and it leaked once when I nudged it on my desk. Plastic smell faded after a few hand washes, I think.

    Chest mount’s fine but I mostly clip the Pixgo to my shoulder strap — gives a nicer horizon and less bobble. Video is decent for casual rides, don’t expect movie-smooth footage. Heads-up the included mount plastic feels cheap, so don’t yank it on and off too rough.

    in reply to: Anyone tried Ozoori for fridge smells? #176

    Not wowed, but maybe it cuts the general fridge funk a bit. Wouldn’t rely on it for raw onion or really stinky cheese, airtight containers still necessary.

    Not buying the “fixes it for good” hype. On my stuff it dulled hairlines for a while but they’d peek back at angles after a couple weeks. Fast cosmetic cover, not a real repair.

    Thanks, that matches my experience, it handles loose dirt and cars fine but choked on the old oil stains. I think I’ll rent a pressure washer for the driveway and maybe keep the Jetterix for quick rinses. Not totally surprised, the ads oversell it.

    I’ve had one for a few months — never bothered with an anemometer but it’s definitely not the “jet engine” breeze they hype, more like a gentle desktop puff unless you run it on max. Battery seems about what others say: low setting will last most of a workday (I get ~6–8h), high kills it in a couple hours; USB‑C pass‑through works but it doesn’t charge super fast while running. Low is pretty quiet, high gets noisy, and it survives being tossed in a bag okay but the plastic scuffs and the fold hinge feels a bit cheap.

    Yeah, that matches my experience — low runs forever, high’s loud and kills the battery fast. Window/exhaust helps but if the room’s already muggy it just makes things clammy instead of actually cooler. Ice is a short novelty and overnight it’s hit-or-miss — mine was quiet-ish on low but sometimes the pad smell/cycling woke me, so not totally sold on using it for sleeping.
