How does the home appliance trial service "Rentio" look like to the lust-based gadget writer Gian Suzuki?

Can "Lentio" eliminate excessive desire?

What kind of service is the home appliance trial service "Lentio"?

Lentio is a home appliance and gadget rental service with a catch phrase that "you can try any product without buying it". You can rent more than 3,000 kinds of products such as cameras, kitchen appliances, cleaning appliances, beauty appliances, etc. and try them to your heart's content.

Lentio is easy to use without an ID card. If you order online by 17:00, it will arrive the next day at the earliest. Equipment that is suddenly needed can be rented quickly as if it were a mail-order site.

About the period

The rental period is set for each product, such as 3 nights 4 days, 7 nights 8 days, 14 nights 15 days, etc., and can be adjusted on a daily basis. We also support extension procedures during rental, but it may not be possible to extend depending on the rental situation. Let's complete the procedure early. There is also a monthly plan that you can rent for several months.

About shipping and compensation

The rental fee includes round-trip shipping. In addition, even if it is damaged due to negligence such as dropping or submersion, the repair cost is only up to 2,000 yen in principle. It's an easy-to-understand fee structure.

For loss or theft, you will be charged up to 100% of the selling price of the product, but if you are traveling abroad, you can settle most of the contribution with your credit card or tour company's personal belongings insurance. It is about.

About return

Rental items can be returned by bringing them to a convenience store or delivery store by 24:00 on the deadline. There is no additional charge for requesting pickup. You don't have to struggle to carry large products to convenience stores or courier stores.

Except for "setting the rental period", you can rent in almost the same way as the mail order site.

The flow up to Lentio's product rental is as follows: (1) account registration, (2) new shipping address registration, (3) new credit card registration, (4) product selection, (5) rental period setting, (6) proceeding to cash register, (7) address and delivery date and time. Selection, ⑧ Confirmation / confirmation of order details ……. It is almost the same as many online shopping sites except for "setting the rental period". You won't get lost.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you rent multiple products at the same time, the rental period of all products must match. If the rental period does not match, divide the order into multiple orders or shift the rental period behind.

① Account registration

② Registration of new shipping address

③ New registration of credit card

④ Product selection

⑤ Setting the rental period

⑥ Proceed to the cash register

⑦ Select address and delivery date and time

⑧ Confirmation / confirmation of order details

How to pack? What is the condition of the product?

Since it was a rental item, I was wondering how it was packed and how it was in good condition, but the four products I borrowed this time were carefully packed and in good condition. Only "SIXPAD Foot Fit 2" was new, but the other three products were "nearly unused" in the flea market service style.

However, Lentio rentals are basically used unless otherwise noted. The condition should be different depending on the product. As soon as you arrive, we recommend that you check that all the included items are complete, that there are no scratches, and that they work properly.

This time I rented 4 products that I was interested in

Now that I have rented 4 products, I would like to give you a review.

Atmoph Window 2 [Basic]

The first "Atmoph Window 2 [Basic]" is a smart display that connects to the Internet and projects landscapes around the world on a 27-inch full HD display. I was very attracted at the time of the announcement, but there was no suitable installation place, so it was a gadget that I cried and saw off.

Setup is possible by itself and it's really easy. Practical functions such as displaying the Google calendar and the weather are also useful. It seems to buy immediately when it becomes touch compatible.

HUAWEI X GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II

"HUAWEI X GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II" is an eyewear equipped with a semi-open speaker, a silicon microphone, and a tap, pinch, and swipe sensor. With built-in directional dynamic driver units on the left and right, you can enjoy music with clear sound.

However, because it is a semi-open speaker, the sound leaks quite loudly, which is a scratch on the ball. Of course, it's eyewear, so I'm worried about wearing it. I would like to rent a product like this before purchasing it.

SIXPAD Foot Fit 2

"SIXPAD Foot Fit 2" is a training gear that trains the muscles of the legs. I've always been interested in SIXPAD products, so I rented them because it was a good opportunity. I imagined it would be as powerful as the big brother of a low-frequency treatment device, but at maximum output, it stretches and stimulates muscles so strongly that it can't withstand cramps.

However, it is unknown at this time how effective it is in improving muscle strength. I will try it until the last minute of the return date and report the effect on my Twitter etc.

BOOX Nova Air

"BOOX Nova Air" is a tablet terminal that uses a 7.8-inch E Ink display. The fact that "Android 10" is installed in the OS and Google Play can also be used is a big advantage over e-book readers. It is also a big evolution point that the digitizer pen can be fixed to the side by magnetic force.

However, if you use a general Android app on an E Ink display, the user experience will be quite different. It is difficult to understand the operation feeling just by looking at the video review, so it is recommended to try this product once by rental.

Candid impression of using Lentio for the first time

Now, returning to the main subject, it is my impression that I used Lentio for the first time, but anyway, it is a frank impression that I can borrow it smoothly. I rented the product without even reading "Welcome", let alone "Help", but I didn't get lost. I felt that it realized a sophisticated interface similar to a well-made mail-order site.

Also, I was struck by the fact that not only the return slip but also the tape for repacking was included. Occasionally, a cash on delivery slip is included in the lending machine from the manufacturer, but as expected, the tape has never been included. For some users who don't have the tape on hand, the consideration of having the tape ready is not always possible.

I tried Lentio, thinking that it would be convenient to rent a product that I wanted to try carefully, but I was surprised that the lineup was more complete than I expected. I have repeatedly sold the products I purchased so far and used them to fund the purchase of the next product, but it seems that I can save a lot of money just by switching half of the products I purchase to Lentio.

Also, personally, it seems that I will be more likely to be taken care of by renting camera products in the future. I currently own two mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras, but one is a backup in case of failure, and I usually keep it in a moisture-proof cabinet. I thought it would be okay to let go of the backup if I could borrow it immediately at Lentio. It seems to be useful when you want to use a lens or action camera that is not used frequently.

After trial use, you can purchase it as it is if you pay an additional fee. Also, if you have a monthly plan, you can rent it for a certain period and make it your own. You can think of it as if you were buying the product in pieces.

Of course, as a lust-based gadget writer, I plan to run the economy with a little effort this year, but I would like to make effective use of Lentio in order to experience more attractive gadgets.
