Eton FR400 Hand Crank Radio and Power Generator (Black)

Eton FR400 Hand Crank Radio and Power GeneratorAfter noting some less than satisfactory reviews by others on similar Eaton products , I decided to go ahead and buy this product. I found that the FR400 meets all my criteria in a weather radio. First, the crank system covers our communications need should we have an extended power outage.This past week, over 100,000 people were without power in our area. The crank generating system works excellent. It actually works easier than I thought that it would. I also find the Alert function very important. You simple turn a Selector Knob to Alert, and when the National Weather Service issues an alert, the radio comes on automatically. This alert gives you advance warning of dangerous weather, and can save your life in case a tornado is about to happen near you.It also warns you of other bad weather conditions such as extreme straight line winds and hail. Flood Warnings are also covered in these alerts.

Yes we have tornado sirens for impending tornados. Since we have satellite TV reception, we usually lose our TV signal just as the bad storms get close to us. With the FR400, we easily can slide the selection bar and tune in any of several TV stations, and pick up the sound portion of the broadcast. We can also access our local FM and AM radio channels.The reception is excellent on both AM and FM bands. I have mine set to Channel ll the CBS TV affiliate in Dallas/Fort Worth. The tuning bar reads TV2. Channel 5, a lower number would be set on TV1. We consider this product an excellent value, and recommend this model due to the included AC Adapter. The included cell phone adapters fit both my wife's cell phone and my own. Hers is an ancient Motorola and mine is a recent LG. There are excellent set up instructions should you need them from the Eton website. It's actually very simple to set up. Lights, Sirens, Radio, Crank and Auto settings are clearly marked. Dialing is no problem, and the TV and Weather Service reception is excellent. This product has it all, and is a must for having a dependable weather warning or disaster communication radio.

This radio is reviewed on Amazon several times, but most are under the Red Cross version's listing, even though this is exactly the same radio. I read several negative reviews prior to buying this item. Well, as it turns out I think this is a nice little unit. I would describe the sound overall as good. Maybe I'll amend this review in the future, but I'm happy with the features, design & performance.

Opening the battery cover and connecting the battery was just that simple, and it has remained securely closed. Maybe the design has been modified because that procedure has gotten a lot of negative feedback, but I can't see any reason there would be a problem. The cellphone charging cord & several connectors (let's be honest...we're never going to use this) were included, and my Sanyo phone is covered.

This is a light, inexpensive case. The tuner seems fine. Here in NYC I've had no trouble tuning in the various AM & FM stations that I like. This is not a high-end indestructable radio. I think this is a good, relatively solidly built & designed radio that can be used every day. I charged it over night with the included adapter. It's brought me a few ballgames over the past few days without needing a charge (I'm just going to let it drain completely once to complete a battery cycle). I like this little radio very much.

I needed more info on this radio and others so I called Amazon tech support. I was given the Eton customer service number: 1-800-872-2228.

The Eton FR400 has TV capabilities that will become obsolete in 2009 as the signals will all be switched to digital for the TV portion of this radio. All other functions will work. The updated model, Eton FR405, is the same as this radio only without the TV signal capability. The FR405 is only available at Best Buy at this time. For my money, the FR400 with TV capabilities, while the TV signals last, is a better buy.

This radio is water resistant. A waterproof model would be perfect. We've lost a couple of cell phones in the river and water kills them fast. Sun dried cell phones are never the same if they even flicker with life at all. So, now I look for waterproof when buying anything that might get wet or fall overboard. An emergency radio is in that class.

Another newer model coming on the scene soon will be the Eton FR1000--no TV capability, but it will come with a walkie talkie. This is being tested now and should be the next model you will see on the market.

Eton does not make a GPS system combined with NOAA radio capabilities. They also do not have a unit with both shortwave and NOAA combined--apparently the circuitry on the two things are not compatable. No one has this.

I want something that will be equally useful on land, at sea or in a vehicle. I want an "emergency" unit that packages many of the things I may need for "survival" communication. Okay, I really meant everything I might need. :) I haven't found the perfect NOAA radio yet.

The other thing that is not available is an NOAA radio with digital TV. Apparently, the digital components are too expensive at this time to add this feature to these radios and maintain a decent price point. So, companies are simply deleting TV from the mix.

This model, Eton FR400, will charge a cell phone battery. None of the connections come with the unit. You send in for them. The first cell phone adapter connector is free, additional ones cost $5 each. Eton tries to keep a number of cell phone battery charger adaptors in stock, but you may want to see if they have your specific adaptor before making a purchase because they don't carry them all.

Amazon has inflated the retail price on this unit. It sells for $60 directly from Eton, plus $10 shipping.

The unit is larger than I expected. This is okay, but wouldn't a cell phone sized unit be wonderful! Waterproof of course.

UPDATE 2-7-2008: The Eton FR1000 has been released this month. I haven't seen it on Amazon yet, but it is available at some other retailers. Check online. The retail price is $150.

The radio has one very annoying feature. When set to receive NOAA Weather alerts it will receive them but then continue playing NOAA weather reports for a wide area. When I purchased this radio I did not know about SAME technology which limits the alerts to a much smaller area in your vacinity. If you live in an area with a lot of alerts as I do in Florida then getting a radio with SAME technology will keep you from being unnecessarily awakened in the night. Go to the NOAA web site for a description of SAME. All other functions of the radio seem to work as advertised.

The inexpensive Eton FR400 is a nice little radio as well as a potential lifesaver. For its size it has a surprisingly good balanced tone (not adjustable), and very clear reception on NOAA, AM, FM, and TV bands alike. The power crank/dynamo doubles as an exercise machine...not the easiest thing to crank (especially if you follow the recommendation to crank at 2 revolutions per second for 90 seconds to acheive maximum power charge), but you get up to an hour and a half to rest up before you need to recharge. I wish the case had a compartment for the power and cell phone adapters though, to keep all parts in one place. I gave mine to my electronically picky and critical sattelite-TV field manager brother-in-law (to keep at his home in the US Virgin Islands for hurricane use), and immediately bought another for our own tornado, thunderstorm, icestorm and power vagary usage here in beautiful rural West Michigan. I'll take it camping and its light weight and weather resistant design may even cause it to join me in my treestands this deer season (I wish an earphone was included as well, but as I seem to be the last living man without an iPod I can't blame Eton for my not having my own headphones, I suppose...). By the way, the available metallic colors offered on these are "way cool"! You won't regret buying the FR400, regardless of the weather in your part of the world. BTW: after sending in the registration info I received cell phone power charger adapters for two (2) different phones within 10 days' time. Murphy's law being immutable, our cell plan replaced our phones with a new model in the interim. One call to the eton toll-free customer service line sent another adapter out the same day to accomodate our upgrade...free of charge!

Retractable Car Charger for BlackBerry Torch 9850 9860, Torch 9800 9810I love this charger! It is compact and fits nicely into my glove compartment. The best feature is the retractable wire. I don't worry about it getting tangled and fighting with it to attach to my phone for a charge. Worth every penny!!!!

This is my second retractable car charger I've bought from this company and I've got to say I love love love them. I hate all the loose wires that get everything in a tangle in my briefcase, I hate trying to untangle them when I need to charge the phone.

It charges my phone in good time, works great and is tangle free. I love tangle free.

Belkin Backup Battery Pack for iPod 3G

Belkin Backup Battery Pack for iPod 3G
  • Designed to work with Apple iPod portable music players
  • Provides 15 to 20 hours of additional battery life
  • Indicates charge levels with 4 LEDs, so you know when to replace batteries
  • Secure switch prevents accidental on/off powering
  • Includes 4 AA batteries and 2 extra suction cups

To the person who had two of these burn up on him...I had a similar experience. My iPod kept locking up with the battery pack plugged in, and the pack got HOT. I replaced the batteries, and suddenly everything was fine. I was curious so I put the original batteries (the ones that came in the package with the battery pack) in a battery tester and got some really strange results...the tester gauge started bouncing all over the scale! It seems that the included batteries are funky in the sense that they don't supply a steady source of power. My new batteries, in the same tester, move the gauge and it STAYS PUT, rock solid. I can see how an iPod with an unsteady power source would have problems. It seems fine now.

Buy Belkin Backup Battery Pack for iPod 3G Now

i'm an owner of a 3G/40gb ipod and the first thing i noticed immediately was that the battery leaves much to be desired. i would do a full charge at night and take my ipod out the next day...by the end of the day, after a few hours of use, it would be almost completely drained. it got really annoying. overall, the belkin battery backup is a nice product, but has it's pros/cons.

PROS

1) extended life powered by 4AA batteries. i can't quantify specifically how many hours i've gotten since i've had to recharge. but put it this way...i've been using my ipod for one week at the same frequency (which is just about every day) and have YET to recharge my batteries. i'm estimating around 15+ hours so far...btw, i bought rechargeable 2300mAh NiMH batteries, with a higher capacity, so that probably helps.

2) 4 point-power led indicator...nice to know when the battery is getting drained, even if i haven't had to recharge it yet anyways.

3) does not drain the ipod battery while plugged it...which i would probably have to send to apple for replacement before long with the success i was getting (which costs $100).

4) relatively cheaper than some other battery backups available on the market, particularly BTI's ipod battery kit, which costs $100 and is actually larger than the ipod itself. i got this product for $30.

CONS

1) BULKY. Obviously if you jog with your ipod (which you probably shouldn't do anyways), you'll probably get annoyed with the added mass. even my friends see it and comment on it. definitely not recommended for those who want to maintain ipod's portability. for me personally, i don't mind it as much.

2) can't use a case protector with the battery plugged in. the battery actually suctions to the back of the ipod. so you can't place a protective cover on the ipod. the only concern for me is the screen. ghetto solution: clear packaging tape!

3) cost. $30 + $20 for the rechargeable battery kit. but i need to use the batteries for other stuff too, so...

4) cannot use jointly with some ipod accessories such as altec lansing's inMotion portable speaker system...basically, anything that requires docking the ipod since the battery backup plugs into the same docking port on the bottom.

for those 3G owners that don't mind the added bulk and want extended playability (MUCH extended in some cases), i would definitely recommend this product. i can't speak for 4G owners, although i've heard mixed reviews regarding battery life from friends.

Overall, i'm happy with this product. sure, it would have been nice if they could have made it more sleek in design...but i really don't think they could have done a much better job considering you're adding FOUR AA batteries to your ipod. but hey, i'll take it over the increasing annoyance of having to recharge my ipod after every day of usage.

I don't usually write reviews, but there have been some negative reviews of this product and I felt the need to share!

I bought this unit because I'm backpacking across Europe and I wanted to go completely unplugged. But I still wanted to take my ipod! I saw this product and thought it would be a killer solution! And I was RIGHT!! This unit is AWESOME!! I use regular Energizer or Duracell batteries (throw away the ones that come with the unit! Don't even put them in they are always useless) and it has given me a SOLID 12-14 hours of playtime, if not a few hours more!!! The unit NEVER got Hot or emitted any kind of "burning" smell. I suspect that the people who had these problems did something wrong or got a bad unit it happens even with the best of products!

The unit does add some expected weight to the ipod. I mean you are adding a battery pack with 4 AA batteries, but it is more than a fair trade!! You can go anywhere and not have to worry about finding an outlet and/or adapters!! In my opinion, the small amount of extra weight is more than worth it and once you realize the benefits, you won't notice it! With the battery pack attached, your internal battery is not even touched!! So, you are also extending the life of your internal battery which means you don't have to have apple replace as quickly!!

All in all, I think this product is AWESOME and as long as you follow the instrucions, you will love it too! It is PERFECT for anyone who is going on long trips, flights, camping, backpacking anything that will take you away from an electrical outlet for an extended period of time!

I hope this helps and happy listening! Enjoy your tunes!

PS This will keep your ipod running even after your internal battery is completely dead. So, you can keep listening to your ipod until you are able to get it to apple to replace the battery!!

I'm a new proud owner of a 5g black iPod with video. A wonderful product with only one major flaw: not nearly enough juice for any lengthly video watching.

The Belkin Battery Pack nicely remedies this problem, providing some much needed longevity to the iPod's video function. I can now watch several movies and TV shows before I have to worry about the battery running out. Also nice is how neatly it integrates with the iPod itself, attaching itself to the back to become one seemless unit.

The reason I did not give this product a 5 is due to some minor flaws in its design. Firstly, it does not actually charge the iPod's own internal battery, but rather runs the iPod independantly. This isn't really a bad thing except for the fact that the energy is drained from the battery pack even when the iPod itself is turned off! If you forget to switch the battery pack off as well you'll wake up the next morning to drained batteries.

Also, the unit adds a bit of bulk to the iPod. It's nothing you can't eventually get used to, just be ready to learn how to hold your iPod differently when operating it with the battery pack attached. But overall I must say that the folks at Belkin have made the design of the battery pack about as efficient as they possibly could, all things considered.

For best performance use 2500 mAh NiMH rechargeable AA batteries. A decent set plus a charger will set you back roughly $20, but they will last longer than throwaway alkaline batteries, plus they can be recharged hundreds of times, saving you a ton of money in the long run. It's also more convenient to simply recharge the batteries in the battery pack rather than constantly run to the store for a fresh set.

This unit does not work with the 40GB iPod at all. After a while of using it with totally brand new fresh batteries, it just freezes up the iPod and causes a scratching sound. I have checked some online forums and others with 40 GB iPods and the Belkin Battery Pak have this same problem.

I have contacted Belkin with no response. I regret purchasing this unit totally. If you have a 40 GB iPod, take my advice and avoid this item unless they come out with some sort of fix.

Schumacher SC-600A SpeedCharge High Frequency Battery Charger

Schumacher SC-600A SpeedCharge High Frequency Battery ChargerI purchased the product from Walmart for about $30.00. I purchased it as a compliment to a more powerful but not automatic charger I already have. My main purpose is to keep boat batteries charged during the off season. After reading the instructions and hooking it up it went through the charging and stopping cycles as indicated in the user's manual. All of the indicator lights worked as stated in the manual. So far I have charged two batteries. I hooked them up in the evening, the indicator light showed they were at about 75% charge. By morning they were fully charged and the charging cycle had stopped. According to the user's manual once the charging stops it goes into a maintainance mode where it monitors the battery and when it falls below a pre-set charge, it begins a recharge cycle again. The automatic function is nice because you dont have to worry about over charging. The 6 ft power cord and 6 ft charging cables are convenient because I could charge my boat battery in the garage without having to use an extension chord. I have only charged two batteries but so far, so good.

Schumacher's basic charger 6V or 12V, 2A, 4A & 6A charge rate. Automatic charger that charges, then goes to maintenance mode. Their more expensive chargers have higher charge rates (10A & higher) and additional built-in metering like voltmeter to test state of charge, etc.

I am using it exclusive for my 2 cars in the winter. Went on vacation and returned 6 days later to find the car wouldn't start when the trunk lid (truck light) was left open. With regular below 32 degree weather in the winter in Wash DC, bought this to maintain the 2 car batteries. After jump starting my wife's car, decided to buy this to charge the battery and monitor battery condition (can't leave her stranded or home alone with a dead car battery).

Instructions were simple, but use caution anyway. Charger had approx 6 feet alligator clip cables to connect to battery and keep away from battery (acids, fumes, etc.). With negative-grounded car, attach red clip to positive battery terminal, then black clip to ground (charger must be unplugged from AC). Then plug into AC. Charger has "connection" indicator tyo show a battery is recognized. Then select 6V/12V, then select charge rate (2A or more). When charging, has "charge" indicator light and 3 lights (25%, 50%, 75%) to show progress. When fully charged, 3 progress lights go off and green "charged" indicator lights up and it goes into maitenance mode. Unplug the charger, then disconnect the 2 clips from the battery.

The unit has a five (5) year warranty; very few electrical/electronic devices now have a warranty beyond 1 year. Even the big appliances like washers, dryers, dish washers now come with just 1 year - the manufacturer effectively increased the price by 10% which is about the repair rate for the 3rd to 5th years.

This little charger works equally well when charging and maintaining both 6 and 12 volt automotive batteries. It's a good choice for maintaining batteries in cars which are driven only on special occasions.

Read Best Reviews of Schumacher SC-600A SpeedCharge High Frequency Battery Charger Here

It can charge both 6V and 12V batteries, with different amp selection. Different from some of the older style charger, this one will automatically shutoff when charge is full. So you can plugin, clamp on, turn on and walk away doing other things. Never worry about overcharge the battery.

It is light weight and great tool to have, if you have a lot of batteries around. We use it to charge and check the batteries for the large UPS power supplies in our office. Properly maintained battery can extend its life so much, worth many times the cost of this charger.

I tried to start my lawn tractor recently and found that the battery was very severely DEAD!!. I went online and purchased this Schumacher SC-600A speed charger. I hooked it up overnight and that battery was fully charged and quite able to start my tractor the next morning. Great performance, and very easy to use. Next, we're going to top off the car batteries before the really cold weather sets in.

Kiwi Choice U-Powered Solar and USB Portable Charger - Retail Packaging - White

Kiwi Choice U-Powered Solar and USB Portable Charger - Retail Packaging - WhiteLightweight, easy to use...what more can you ask for? This is my first solar charger, so I was a bit hesitant on which one to order. I finally went with this one because it said that it would also charge my laptop. I don't know if it will do that (next item to try), but it definitely charges my Walkman and Kindle. My only (very minor) gripe is that the instructions seem to have been cut off or they forgot to complete their information. The booklet tells you that there are 4 ways to charge the charger. 1: solar power (no kidding! lol) 2. USB (ok) and then...nada. Obviously, plugging it in is another choice, but there aren't any adaptors for that. So, so I used my Amazon Kindle cord w/adaptor (to change the USB to one for an electrical outlet) and then attached the appropriate plug for the device. The booklet said it would take around 4.5 hours to charge, but it was much, much faster than that.

Update: the charger does NOT have enough power for my laptop, but I don't want to downgrade the rating for that. It works well for the smaller items, so next time I'll know to check the actual rating on power provided and what's needed for a particular item(sry, but I don't know the tech terms). I would definitely buy this item again.

A friend and I both purchased one of these. Mine never worked it won't charge with a cord or in the sun I have called customer service since its covered for a year but I am always forced to leave a message and no one calls me back. My friend's worked for a little while until the solar panel and white plastic casing melted in the sun. You are supposed to leave it in the sun in order for it to charge. How is it that the plastic is that cheap? My friend's also didn't hold a charge for as long as the description states it needed constant charging. Very dissatisfied with this item.

Buy Kiwi Choice U-Powered Solar and USB Portable Charger - Retail Packaging - White Now

I really liked the concept of this solar charger, but the product itself leaves a lot to be desired.

Pros: convenient three panel design; not much bigger than a cell phone; the built-in flashlight is a bonus

Cons: Completely warped in low heat sun; takes at least five days to fully charge; full charge is only enough to charge my phone about 5%

I left it outside on a picnic table in full sun (springtime in Ohio, around 70 degrees) and by the third day, the plastic on the charger was so warped that it wouldn't close properly. When closed, there is almost a full inch gap at the top between the first and second panels. I wasn't too worried about it at that point because it wouldn't effect the functionality of it.

On the fifth day, when all four blue lights were finally lit up, I used the provided adapters to plug in my Evo 4G. Fifteen minutes later, none of the four lights on the Kiwi would light (the charge was completely gone), and my phone hadn't charged enough to even be noticeable.

I hoped that it was because it was the first use, so I tried again, but three days later, in mostly full sun, only one of the blue lights is lit, and the warped plastic is getting much worse.

I expected much more than a 5% charge for my phone from five days worth of sun, and I expected a product made to gather sunlight would be able to withstand the springtime mid-western sun.

At best, it's just a warped, expensive flashlight. I guess I'll just have to try another brand, and I recommend you do the same.

This is my second Kiwi charger. I lost my first one when I placed it on my parked car during a folk festival, then forgot it when I drove off! I missed it so much I bought this second one. It works very well. I leave it in my car which I usually park facing South. I charge my iPhone mostly but can also use it for the iPad. It's very portable and a good conversation starter. I have a Prius and my friends ask if that's what charges the car! Using the device to recharge small electronics just feels like the right thing to do.

Fosmon® Premium Quality USB Cradle Desktop Charger Pod for Sprint HTC Hero CDMA with Extra Battery

Fosmon® Premium Quality USB Cradle Desktop Charger Pod for Sprint HTC Hero CDMA with Extra Battery Charging SlotI really like this unit as my Hero is an electricity junkie. The ability to keep a battery on stand-by in the charger has been really useful. I had to cover the charging light with some electrical tape as I keep the unit in my bedroom and the light is a little too bright for me.

I am extremely satisfied with the charger and the USB connection. It is a great value and a good find. I would recommend it to anyone that has a HTC Hero.

HTC Droid Eris Car Charger

HTC Droid Eris Car ChargerThis cord works, but not with the phone it was advertised to work with, which makes the purchase very frustrating, since I bought it to work specifically with the Droid Eris.

This charger has the standard mini usb conector, which will fit loosely, not the connector unique to the ERIS droid that fits snugly. I have had a couple of chargers with this connector and they have worked a couple of times then quit. I hope this one does better. Probably will be the same as the others, but it was cheap enough to give it a try.

Blackberry Curve 8330 Car Charger / Vehicle ChargerItem exactly as described and most importantly-priced! Item does what it supposed to do, charge my BB. 5 stars. Also wanted to add that last week I was at the local mall and stopped by a cell phone accessory kiosk to browse, and what do you know, the same exact brand of charger was selling for $12.99 ea! I paid less than $5 (.02 + 4.96 s/h) for 2 here on Amazon!

The charger works perfectly, however many other chargers list that they ensure the battery doesn't over/under charge and are protected from surges. This one makes no claims on this, so I would be wary of leaving your phone charged without supervision.

****Update: The charger stopped working within a few weeks. Here's the deal you cannot stress the cord at ALL. If you can set your phone in a secure location in the car with no stress on the cord or connection this will work great. If you try to use the phone while plugged in or it bumps around it will stop working very quickly. The wires inside are the width of human hair.

Since the price was free, I feel that this purchase is worthwhile. However, unknowingly I unplugged the charger which has a fuse that connects the charger to the plug. The problem with this is that the fuse fell out of the charger when I unplugged it and fell on the floor. I tried to use the charger in another vehicle and it did not work. Eventually I figured out what happened. The charger seems to work fine.

Camco 40480 RV Roof Vent Kit

Camco 40480 RV Roof Vent KitI bought one of these in a local RV shop to replace an old cracked leaky vent in a 1990 Tioga Montara 21ft Class C motorhome. The new one fit perfectly. The sealing flange was a slightly larger diameter than the old one so it forced me to do the job right and scrape off all of the extra old goo that someone had put around the edges (that does not work in order for the sealant to work it must be between the surfaces being sealed. Putting extra goo around the edges does nothing because once the rig flexes a little it peels back and the water runs right under it).

Replacing the old crappy vent with this new one has brought a feeling of new life to my RV's kitchen.

The old (stock) vent had a plastic crank handle. This one is metal. The crank action in the old vent caught and bounced when I closed it. The action in this one is smooth. It's not grade A materials, being made in China and being inexpensive but it is a good value. If I have to replace it again 10 years from now, I will still consider it money well spent.

As I said, I bought it at a local RV shop but I liked it enough that I am buying two more of them to replace the other two vents in my RV roof, which are NOT currently leaking. It made that much of an improvement to my rig. It's significantly cheaper here. Thanks, Amazon.

Minus one star because the sharp edge of the sealing flange sliced my finger open during installation. I'll be more careful with the other two.

Unit is built well, but you must order the install kit and sealing putty that is recommended with item. All thats included is just the vent. Directions were easy to follow and includes a template of how large of a hole to cut in the roof. I would buy again if I needed another one.

this roof vent was a perfect fit for the opening that the old broken one came out of. the only problem I have is the crank to raise and lower vent was too long, so I just took the crank off so camper can fold down. now I just use crank when I need it, and put it in drawer when not in use.

This was a good replacement for my craced vent. Even though I bought the same brand, the holes did not line up, so I had to be sure to seal the old holes and drill new ones. Be aware that no mounting kit or hardware comes with it.

I bought a roof vent kit before and it came with a MUCH deeper garnish. This vent will only fit a roof thickness of up to 2-1/4". No mention of this vital statistic in the product description! Now I have to go to the expense and trouble of returning this item :(

Rally 7637 Marine Grade 500W Power Inverter with USB Charging Port and Map Light

Rally 7637 Marine Grade 500W Power Inverter with USB Charging Port and Map LightThis is exactly the same thing you would buy if you got a Harbour Freight unit. They are manufactured at the same place. This unit is NOT marine grade, there is no epoxy coating on the board. Obviously with a fan it's not water tight either.

It's cheap plastic, no hiding that.

It can take a load and it performs well. You can water resist any inverter, just take off the plastic case and spray clear coat on the board. Then heat it to 200* for 2hrs to cure it (just run an inverter with a load for two hours).

EVERY modified sine wave inverter is most efficient when it's running HALF it's rated Nominal load. It's just the way the circuit and transistors work. This unit is 71% at half and less than 65 at full. That's GARBAGE! Cobra units are over 80% on both and Pure Sine are over 90% on both.

It's overpriced for what it is. Don't bother. I really was expecting something much better. I'm giving it three stars because the board, solder and parts used are good quality but it's a dated design that's not efficient. 10amps in gives you .5amps out (DC to AC) or in another way 120 watts consumed in DC power gives you 60 watts out. You loose half the power. It also falls really short in capacitance capabilities or in english starting an electric motor from a stop (press the trigger on a drill that's startup draw or Capacitance). The PEAK is usually where that rating comes in but a 1/2" hammer drill from Milwaukee blew out the safety shutdown every time and it's rated for 500w.

SOLAR users: Buy a more efficient model. You don't need to spring for Pure Sine unless you intend to run sensitive electronics (computernot laptop, LCD TV, cable box, anything with a radio in it, etc...).

It claimed marine use, it is very light and has two ways to provide power. So far no complaints. I would buy another so far.

Love the multitude of ports this inverter supplied. Even has a map light! Got it at a ridiculously low price with free shipping as well so this was one of my favorite purchases. Love the 500W of power it is capable of providing. Great product marine grade products are usually made above and beyond expectations! Would recommend even at the regular price.

I got this item to go camping, and when I got it out of the box to use it it wouldnt work. I tried the other adapter and it came on for a sec but went right back off and never worked again. The only thing I was tryin to power was a heating pad for my disabled husband while we was camping, so I know the watts was plenty for that. HORRIBLE PRODUCT

Powersonic PS-12180NB 12v 18Ah Lead Acid Battery

Powersonic PS-12180NB 12v 18Ah Lead Acid BatteryI used two of these to replace the battery of my 10+ year-old Ryobi cordless self-propelled lawnmower. They have worked great all season and have provided run time about 20% greater than the original batteries did new.

I order two Powersonic PS-12180NB batteries sold by eComElectronics on Amazon. What they sent me were two ub12180 from another manufacturer (which can be bought cheaper on eBay). The batteries charged and seemed to be working fine but after the first charge neither battery would charge in the device I bought it for nor would they charge out of the device on a battery charger. I notified eComElectronics and they did not respond. Complete waste of money and not even the product advertised.

havent had to jumpstart anything yet; but since installing this battery in my universal power ,jumpstarter and compressor box; everthing works better than when it was new . this battery is much heavier than the old one which means there is more plates than the original battery which means more and better power

This is a battery. A very generic battery. There are better types of batteries: lighter ones, more power-dense ones, longer-lived ones, ones that lose less power each day uncharged. But usually these batteries are on a constant trickle charge anyway. Then, that trickle charge causes corrosion at the terminals, which you should try to do something about. This battery doesn't try to do anything about it it doesn't come with terminal grease or pads. But hardly any batteries do; its a $2 add-on.

I received this item before I expected it and tossed it into a jump start pack and it performs better than the stock battery. It holds a charge and I am confident it will work for a while. You get what you pay for!

Coghlan's 8880 Airstop

Coghlan's 8880 AirstopThis item works as advertised! I have a queen size air mattress that had a hole about 1/8" in length. Keep in mind that this product does not come with any patches of any kind and works best on vinyl. Just apply the adhesive glue with the applicator that is attached to the bottle's cap, let it dry for 5 minutes then apply more coats a needed. My air mattress has not leaked since! Very happy with this product!

Airstop works very well on vinyl (pvc) and is only for vinyl per the instructions. I have used it for several years on a inflatable 3 person snow tube with great results. Every time a rock or stick puts a small slit in the tube (under 1 inch) I apply this and the problem is gone. I probably fixed 10-12 holes over several years before running out. Self stick patches rub off when sledding eventually, but Airstop just keeps working. I also easily fixed a leak in a Coleman air mattress with this. Super good product because it is easy to use(just spread it on with the included applicator and let it dry)and it has worked every time for me!

I had a hole the size of a quarter in my $300 aerobed. I thought it was a goner, because everything I tried didn't work.

That was until this product arrived at my door. With a hole as big as mine, I used a patch for support, but this product is what finished it off.

The leak is gone. My mattress is saved...I'm a happy man!!

First off, i rarely leave reviews. With that said, this finally helped me fix my airbed, which was leaking air!

I tried using superglue and tape to fix my pin hole size hole in my mattress, but with no luck.

I tried this product, and within 5 minutes the holes were sealed up! I finally got to sleep on my air mattress and not wake up on the floor in the morning!

5 stars!

This stuff is AMAZING! The kids bounce house split a seam about 1/2". The hole split strait with the seam. It was as smooth as a if a knife had cut it. I cleaned the surface with rubbing alcohol. I then followed the directions of 5min between coats, and did 5 thin coats. I waited 48hrs before allowing the kids to use it. It's like new! This stuff is worth every penny. The split was smack dab in the middle of the doorway too.

No other patch or reinforcement used. I did use a marker to help locate the split. It was difficult to find after the first coat.

Only con was the time it took me to find the product. ROFL

Honeywell HW400PI DC to AC 400 Watt Power Inverter

Honeywell HW400PI DC to AC 400 Watt Power InverterIt worked well for 2 weeks and seemed to provide good power from a cigarette ligher outlet. The fan is much louder than most similar units and can just barely be heard above the car noise at highway speed. The fan is completely off with no load, but turns on full for any significant load. I powered laptops with the unit for two weeks, then I connected the unit to a handheld car vacuum. The vacuum ran for a few seconds and the inverter died. No user replaceable fuses were inside. The fuses I did see were not blown. An important lesson.. always test inverters with full loads before the warrenty is up.

Received this inverter a couple of weeks ago and I am happy with its performance. I am preparing for an extended photography trip across the US and needed an inverter that met my power requirements, was quite while operating, and built to last. I also needed duel electrical sockets and a USB port. This unit appeared to have it all. Several reviews were encouraging and since having most of my budget being spent on some major items for my trip, the price was right.

I have tested the product several times already and it works as expected and is even quieter than I had expected. Which is nice since driving will provide enough noise on its own, I certainly didn't want any more. If I had one issue I would have preferred that the wire from the lighter plug to the unit be a foot or two longer. But using the middle console lighter socket allows me plenty of room to hide it on the floor behind the front seats.

Now, the real test will be how it handles fairly heavy use, recharging laptop and camera batteries as well as brewing small pots of coffee for my sixty days on the road. I leave in mid may (2011) and will try to provide an update upon my return. If interested my website for the trip is
