BLUE Slim Holster Camera Bag, Lightweight, Protective Carrying Case with Extra Accessory Compartmen

BLUE Slim Holster Camera Bag, Lightweight, Protective Carrying Case with Extra Accessory Compartment For Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 Lumix DMC-GF2 Lumix DMC-GF3 Lumix DMC-GF3X Lumix DMC-GH2 Lumix DMC-FZ40 Lumix DMC-FZ47 Lumix DMC-FZ100 Lumix DMC-FZ150 Point and Shoot Digital CameraI purchased this bag for my new Lumix DMC FZ150 superzoom. The bag accomodates the camera perfectly, even with the lens hood installed. The camera compartment is lightly padded and lined with soft material for protection against scratches and minor impacts. The camera compartment "tips out" so that you access your camera at about a 45 degree angle from the top of the bag which makes for easy access. The other side of the bag has multiple pockets for battery charger, cable, SD card, extra battery, etc. I don't think that you could accomodate an additional lense if you camera has one, however. Bag comes with a nice adjustable shoulder strap with pad for comfort and the bag seems well made of good materials. I would note that its color is very dark blue almost black. I am pleased with my purchase.

My daughter had a new, important camera for film school and needed a case. This was just perfect...size,

Material,etc. she loves it.

Would not recommend buying this product!

The charger that was sent to me did not work at all. I was very impressed though with the customer service department which sent me a new charger (that did work) very quickly.

High Grade Samsung Galaxy Note 2 /Galaxy S4(Tangle Free) Rapid LED Indicating Car Charger Adapter

High Grade Samsung Galaxy Note 2 /Galaxy S4(Tangle Free) Rapid LED Indicating Car Charger AdapterExcellent product, works as described. Having the Samsung Galaxy Note II phone it requires specific charge units. I actually tried a few other ones on the market and they did not charge the Samsung phone. Like Apple many special requirements where you have to buy specific products that are made to work with them. Not a knock at any brand just the trend on the big players and a way to make some extra cash. It's business at it's best. What is great about this charger is fits several brands w/o any issues. The same connection port is on the Motorola Droid series as well as my work Blackberry Bold series. It's great for $12 I have a portable charger for all vehicles I use or get into. To buy the car chargers for your specific phone model at a store, especially phone stores (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T) they charge $39.95 or higher. All I can say is this product works great and charges many brand devices and I think it is a great buy from my experiences.

Product arrived on time and matches my Galaxy Note 2 extremely satisfied. I definitely would purchase again from this vendor.

Seidio Innodock Jr. Desktop Cradle for iPhone 3G and 3GS - Black

Seidio Innodock Jr. Desktop Cradle for iPhone 3G and 3GS - BlackThe apple universal dock is $50 and doesn't accommodate a case. This product is compatible with my brand new 3G iphone and it fits nicely with its rubberized case. The design is simple and sleek (although I would probably prefer if it didn't have the small silver square around the power button) and comes with a black USB cord, unlike some other brands. This is a truly good buy and you should have zero reservations about ordering.

I found this while searching for a charging cradle for the iPhone 4 that would work with the iPhone 4 bumper in place. There are some negative reviews, but for less than twenty bucks I figured I could take a chance. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, and it's perfect. It charges and syncs my iPhone 4 without me having to remove the bumper, and even looks reasonably good sitting on my desk cradling the phone. I personally like it well enough that I just ordered a second one for my home office.

Buy Seidio Innodock Jr. Desktop Cradle for iPhone 3G and 3GS - Black Now

PROS: It works as intended. Some people keep complaining that it doesn't synch or doesn't charge, I've experienced nothing of the sort (maybe they're using ancient iPods or something, mine's an iPhone). Also, you can have a clothed iPhone fit just as well on this dock. For some reason the competing docks are useless, all of them have fitted cradles so that if you have any kind of protection on your iPhone they're useless. So at least this thing works as advertised.

CONS: It's expensive for what it is, basically a generic looking charging dock. Also, the USB cable provided has an unusually big/long USB jack, it sticks out about a full inch behind the charging dock and they don't show you that in the pictures. I suspect it's because they cheaped out on the USB cable and it's a very old design or surplus cables. I will change the cable and see if I can get something that is less bulky on my desk, but at this price point I'd have hoped I don't have to buy my own cable.

I ordered this dock because I wanted a dock that would work with my iPhone 4 with Apple's Bumper installed and this case works. I deducted one star because the iPhone fit in the dock is a bit sloppy but not a problem.

Want Seidio Innodock Jr. Desktop Cradle for iPhone 3G and 3GS - Black Discount?

The dock needs to be plugged directly in to the USB ports on the motherboard of your computer. In my situation, it would not work using an extension USB cord, front USB ports, or the ports on the back that were on a bracket. The only port that allowed the dock to charge my wife's iPhone 3GS were the ports directly on the motherboard where all the other connections are (audio, mouse, keyboard and such).

Sync & Charge USB Cable for Apple iPod Nano 5G (White)

Sync & Charge USB Cable for Apple iPod Nano 5GLost the original cable for the Nano, was lucky to find this replacement at a great price. The tunes are rocking again.

It fits the description, works like it says, but is very poorly made. The plastic feels really light and cheap. The wire insulation doesn't fully cover the wire all the way into the plastic ends. So far I've only plugged it in once and it's charging my Nano 5G as promised.

BoxWave HTC EVO 4G Desktop Cradle (No Spare Battery Charger)

BoxWave HTC EVO 4G Desktop CradleIm using a different charger to plug into it because the little wall plug was unreliable but with the different charger this base works great.

this item works very well with the usb chord plugged into a computer, but the power chord option prevents the touchscreen from being used. somehow, the touchscreeen lags when the power chord is plugged into certain wall outlets. i work infront of a computer 8 hours a day, so this is not a problem for me, but i would have returned the item if it had to be plugged into the wall!

Regardless, I'd recommend it to anyone that needs a dock for their desk.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT. ENDURING 6-DW-7 12V 7AH UB1270

BATTERY REPLACEMENT. ENDURING 6-DW-7 12V 7AH UB1270I got these batteries for a razor e300 after installing they worked but I come to find out the razor had other issues. I can't say for sure if they hold charge or anything more except that they did charge up and when tested on another device(not a scooter) they powered it up.

They did get here quickly and the order was expedited quickly as well. I was even surprised they got here the day they did because it was during hurricane sandy so kudos to your company for sending it out quickly and to the post office for delivering it.

I will do more business in the future. Thank you.

this is a standard item and the price listed was very good. It came on time and works fine at this point.

Viair 00073 70P Heavy Duty Portable Compressor

Viair 00073 70P Heavy Duty Portable CompressorThis is an excellent 12 Volt compressor for light to medium duty inflation jobs. It's small and packs neatly inside the included bag. I keep mine in the trunk for roadside emergencies or even just the occasional pressure adjustment. It also makes light work of inflating bicycle and lawn equipment tires.

I also own a Craftsman, Campbell Hausfeld, & a Superflow HV35 from Q Industries(see the review). I have tested all the units on time to inflate a 215-70R14 from zero to 32lbs. In terms of speed to inflate the Viair 70p and Superflow HV35 blow away the lesser units from Craftsman and C.H.

It takes 15+ minutes to inflate with either of the lesser models. The 70p can handle the task in around 4.5 minutes where the HV35 was closer to 4 minutes flat. In addition to the speed advantages both higher end units do their job in a much smoother and quieter manner.

The 70p's advantages over the HV35 are: Build quality, lower sound output and lower running temperatures. It also seems to draw less current making it less likely to blow your accessory port fuse.

With it's sturdy construction, smooth, quiet, & cool operation, I have little doubt that this compressor will be there when I need it. For the $40 price tag it is a hight value per dollar when compared to lesser makes.

I cannot believe how good this thing is!

I've spent some time doing research and happy i got this particular item

I have BMW with 19 inch sport wheels and low profile tires

This compressor is a part of my road side emergency kit

I have tire plugger and jack in addition to compressor as whole setup to fix my tire if i catch screw or nail while on the road

I have not had any issues in that regard yet, but i did use the comressor to inflate my tire.

It was a bit under spec, so i had to add some air

This little beast did the job within less than 30 second

Yes, not minutes, seconds!

It went from 34psi to 38psi in just a matter of seconds

It was done without any sweat either

Very little noise, very little vibration

Key things i like (also main reasons i bought it):

1. very small/compact compressor

2. powerfull enough to inflate even sport tires

3. super fast

4. built quality is very good

5. inflates other stuff (beach toys, sport equipment)

Buy Viair 00073 70P Heavy Duty Portable Compressor Now

Great little compressor and built very well. Used this at the track to add air to the tires, the fastest cig lighter air compressor I ever used. I had many 20, 25 dollars air compressor and they all break within a year. The size is comparable to the other cheaper compressor not too big, which is nice. The pressure gauge on the compressor is good enough to help you fill your flat tire, just read it when the compressor is off.

updateAlmost 3 years later, still runs like a champ. I don't really know what to say anymore cause its still working great. Would buy an other one if I lose it, cause this thing is not gonna break.

Read Best Reviews of Viair 00073 70P Heavy Duty Portable Compressor Here

I bought this to use on a motorcycle. The pump's size is remarkably small for its output and the carrying case makes it perfect to carry on a motorcycle. However, the built-in gauge for the pump shows 50 pounds when the tires only have 40. That's far too inaccurate to be safe. I compared the pump's built-in gauge against a digital pressure gauge (which is accurate to 0.5 psi) and against the motorcycle's onboard internal gauge (accurate to within 1 psi). Both the external and internal digital readings were identical, but 10 pounds under the pump's readings. A 25% error bar is intolerable.

The pump itself worked well until about 18 months later when it started making noise and about a week later it died. I have another cheaper machine by another brand that I kept in my car which lasted 10 years. The failure of this Viair pump so soon after I bought it makes the rating much lower.

This pump measures up to what everyone has been saying about it. Great quality, compact size, VERY quiet for an air compressor, and it works fast, too. I like the carrying bag. I give it four stars because the cigarette lighter plug is designed for deep cigarette lighter outlets. I have a '94 Nissan Altima, and no matter what, the plug keeps popping out of the outlet. I have to either ask someone to hold the plug in while I use the pump or wedge a clip by my ashtray to keep it in. I really like the pump, so I'm going to keep it and shop for some kind of adapter. One more thing is that it would be nice if the bag had some kind of pocket to hold tip adapters (for pumping up sports balls, etc.... I don't really want to those to rattle around loose in the bag).

Added comment 6/2/09 -One reviewer mentioned that the screw-on attachment causes some air pressure to be lost from the tire after you fill it up. Although this attachment is very secure, I agree that it's a setback. However, I found the perfect solution: the Topeak Pressure-Rite Anit-Air Loss Connector. This thing is AWESOME. I got it for my bike tires, and it works great on car tires, too, which have identical valves. I highly recommend both the air pump and the pressure-rite adapter.

Also, in response to a couple of reviews, the gauge on my compressor works great.

Added comment 7/14/10 -Some people seem to be having trouble using the Topeak Pressure-Rite adapter with the Viair 70P because the threading on the adapter and the pump don't seem to match very well. Mine seems to work fine, although you do need to be a little careful when screwing it on. After attaching the Pressure-Rite adapter to the pump, I don't even bother removing it. It could be that the threading on one is metric and the other English, in which case a screw adapter would be ideal. I haven't checked the actual threading sizes, but I'll post an update if I find out. Also, it could be that not every individual product is the same, and some people could have better luck than others.

Keep in mind that the two products are made by different companies and were not specifically designed to be used together. However, I've been using them regularly to fill my bike and car tires for over a year now. When I screw the adapter onto the tire valve before turning the pump on, the pump will show zero pressure (note that this is with the adapter attached). When I turn the pump on, the pressure climbs quickly to the current pressure of the tire and then stabilizes. Then it climbs as the tire is being filled. The pressure that is displayed while it's filling is a little higher than the actual pressure. After I turn the pump off, I wait for the pressure to go down slightly to know what the actual pressure is.

When I unscrew the adapter from the tire valve, I can hear air leaking out. HOWEVER, this air does NOT appear to be coming from the tire, but it seems to be excess air coming out of the pump. I know this because when I check the tire pressure, it's what I expect it to be. Also, if I remove the adapter quickly enough, I can still hear air coming out even though the adapter is completely removed from the tire (which means that it's coming from the pump and not the tire). Like I said, I regularly use this to fill bike tires up to 100-120 psi. I go on numerous rides that are 50+ miles at 16+ mph. After learning how to use the pump properly (after just 1 or 2 tries), the only flat I ever got was when I was going through gravel in a bike lane. If there was a lot of air leaking out when I removed the adapter from the tire, the tire pressure would go down significantly, the tire itself would feel squishy and not rock solid, and I would get a lot more flats. This adapter is pretty much the only reason that I'm even capable of using the Viair 70P with bike tires because otherwise the screw-on attachment (without the adapter) would leak too much air when I removed it due to the high pressure in the tires. For car tires, though, it's probably not that big of a deal because they're only about 30 psi instead of 120 psi.

So in summary, the Topeak Pressure-Rite adapter is great addition to the Viair 70P, but it might take a little bit of getting used to.

Also, for the deep cigarette outlet issue, I found this adapter which works pretty well: Multi-Use Vehicle Charger with Dual USB Ports and Dual 12 Volt Sockets Magnadyne

HQRP Pair MC4 T-branch Solar Panel Connector M/M/F & F/F/M (1F2M & 2F1M) for PV / Photovoltaic Syst

HQRP Pair MC4 T-branch Solar Panel Connector M/M/F & F/F/M for PV / Photovoltaic System plus HQRP CoasterIf you plan on connecting two solar panels together you will need to get these, or something similar for your panel type. These arrived quick and in good condition. Easy to install but make sure that you have marked the wire connecting your solar panel to your controller. It is important to know the positive and negative sides. I like to put a piece of colored electrical tape on the positive side... and not down by the batteries. That will not help you when you are on the roof. Put it on the roof side of the wire.

The good is that they work, and they seem durable enough.

They bad is that they didn't pair exactly with the connectors bought from the same company. Actually, F-M was too stiff that a flap broke, while M-F was loose.

DuroMax XP4400E 4,400 Watt 7.0 HP OHV 4-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit And Ele

DuroMax XP4400E 4,400 Watt 7.0 HP OHV 4-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit And Electric StartPowerMax XP4400E 4,400 Watt 6.5 HP OHV Gas Powered Generator With Wheel Kit And Electric Start (CARB Compliant)

We live in Southern Louisiana, smack-dab in the middle of hurricane alley, and decided to purchase a backup generator to deal with power outages in the event of an emergency. I wanted sufficient power capacity to run our refrigerator, a small portable AC, a few lights, a small TV, charge our cell-phones, and occasionally charge laptop batteries. We figured that around 3000 continuous watts and 4000 surge watts would be sufficient for our needs.

There are several generators sold by the hardware chains (Lowe's, Home Depot) that fit this description, but they're priced around $600 $700. After some research on the internet, we decided that the PowerMax XP4400 would match our needs, and suit our budget. Just before purchasing it, on an impulse I decided to get the model with the battery powered electric starter, instead of the one that has a rip-cord. Our purchase price (on eBay from MaxTool the same company selling them on Amazon) was $469.99, including a cover for the generator, and shipping.

The generator was shipped Fedex Ground and took about a week to arrive. The external cardboard box showed signs of rough handling during transportation, but the generator was well packed in foam, and not damaged during shipping. The whole box weighs about 130 lbs, and it helped me considerably that the Fedex driver wheeled it right into our garage. Unpacking took about 20 minutes. There are a couple of shipping braces that support the engine during shipment that take a little while to remove.

The first thing I did was to flip the generator upside-down on a mat to install the wheel-kit. There are tools provided with the generator to get the wheels and handles on. As shipped, the tires were sufficiently inflated to bear the weight of the generator.

After flipping the generator right way up again, I filled it with SAE30 oil. We live in a relatively warm climate, so I chose 10W30. If you use generator oil, make sure you chose oil made for a four-stroke engine. The oil-fill tube is awkwardly placed I have a funnel with a tube at the end out it, and found that I had to use it to avoid spilling oil. It takes about 20 oz of oil. To condition the engine, I would suggest changing the oil after 6 hours of run-time, then twice after 8 hours, and every 20 30 hours beyond that.

After filling it with gas (there is a mesh fuel-filter underneath the gas cap, I turned the fuel valve on, and started the generator. The engine turned right away, but wouldn't start. This turned out to be an error on my part it dark, and what I thought was the fully-off position for the choke was instead the fully-on position. After moving the choke to the correct position(fully-off), the engine started up. It is pretty smoky and sputters until the choke is opened. After that it runs very smoothly,with no visible smoke in the exhaust. I don't know what the noise level is, but it is sufficiently low that it doesn't bother me when the generator is running outside the house, and I am on the inside.

The control panel has two 120V outlets (20 Amp), and one 30 Amp outlet that is switchable between 120V and 240V. There is also a 12V outlet to charge a car battery. There is a circuit breaker and a voltmeter. During my initial tests, between 60 watts and 2400 watts of load the voltage stayed at 115 volts, and didn't drop. I haven't tested higher loads yet.

So far, we are quite satisfied. The PowerMax XP4400E is built well, works well, and is less polluting that more expensive Honda, Subaru, and Yamaha powered units sold at the hardware chains.

And a little tip for any small engine that is run infrequently. Make sure you mix the fuel with some anti-oxidant such as Stabil before putting it in the tank. Gas mixed with anti-oxidant should last for about one year.

Six month update (August 2009) the generator still works like a champ. Some of the bolts worked themselves loose through the vibrations, so I've tightened them. No other major problems.

Eighteen month update (September 2010) no problems yet. But I finally got around to installing a transfer switch to connect the generator to the main breaker panel in our house. I recommend this highly it is far better than running cords all over the place, or back-feeding the main panel, which is illegal and very dangerous for linesman working on the utility company's lines. Reliance Controls makes a pre-wired six-circuit transfer switch (31406/30406) that is perfect for this generator and is available from Amazon. Took me about 3 hours to install, 2 of which were spent flush-mounting it in the drywall.

Thirty month update (August 2011) no major problems. I hadn't run the generator for a long time, but with hurricane season here, it was time to change the oil, fill it with gas, and make sure it still worked. The oil looked clean, but had only been used about 8 hours since the last change (a year ago). The electric start wouldn't work (battery was run down), and I flooded the engine. The rip-cord start worked on the second or third pull. I ran the generator for an hour, and will test whether that was sufficient to charge the battery within a week or two. It would have been wiser to unhook the battery while the unit was in extended storage.

Update (November 2011) first problem with generator. One of the tires was flat when I pulled it out today to power the leaf vac for the backyard. I hoped it was just a question of the air leaking out, but the dang thing wouldn't retain air when I filled it. For now, I've sealed the leak with a few squirts of tire sealer/inflator, but I don't know if it will hold. A new tire is anywhere from $20-30, and replacement tube is about $10. The generator engine/windings themselves work fine.

42 month update (August 2012) getting ready for Hurricane Issac. Generator fired up and ran under load perfectly. I hadn't run the generator since November of last year, so I had to pull-start it and was charged within an hour. However, the green slime no longer works to fix the flats in the tires, so I had to get two new tires. Harbor Freight has some inexpensive ($7.99/ea, item 47638, 8" non-marring rubbing tire) inflatable tires that are the same spec as the tires this generator came with (270 lbs maximum weight load at 30 psi), expect they're a relatively bright pink-red. So far after almost 4 years, my maintenance costs have been limited to generator oil and two tires. That's not bad for a generator in this price range.

Overall, I'm very pleased with this generator. It is definitely a good value for the money. The FedEx guy delivered it in good condition. The packaging was excellent. I pulled it out of the box, installed the wheel kit (5-10 minutes), filled it with fuel and oil and it started right up. It is fairly quiet for a generator, but keep in mind quiet is a relative thing. I would say it is definitely quieter than a lawn mower or a typical Briggs&Stratton generator with a lawnmower type muffler (this generator has an automotive type muffler which helps keep the noise down).

It seems to be pretty well built and I expect it to hold up just fine. I bought it as an emergency backup generator and I feel it really is perfect for that use. I think if you are looking for a generator that will get a ton of regular use, you would probably be better off to spend the extra money and get a Honda. But for something that will only see occasional use, this genny really fits the ticket.

I plugged a Killowatt into it to monitor the voltage and load and found that it puts out 120V at 60HZ with no draw. As you start to increase the load, it holds the 60HZ very well right up to the top end of what it can deliver. The voltage starts to drop some as you significantly increase the load, but still manages about 110V or so.

The published numbers are not really too realistic but that is pretty common for small portable generators. It is supposed to handle 3500 watts continuous and 4400 watts surge. In actual testing here is what I found it able to do:

0-2500 watts: it works really well. The voltage and frequency are fine and its seems to be perfectly happy in this range.

2500-3000 watts: frequency holds steady at 60HZ but the voltage starts to drop to 110V. You can tell is is starting to struggle as the load approaches 3000 watts.

3000-3300 watts: you are at the top of its capability here. It does handle it but the voltage drops more and the frequency starts to drop below 60HZ. I would personally operate in this range only for short periods of time.

>3300 watts: it really bogs down significantly and any additional load causes the engine to quit.

So, overall I do highly recommend this generator, especially if you are looking for an emergency backup generator. Just keep in mind that its published wattage numbers are a bit overstated. If you are expecting it to be a Honda, you will be disappointed, but considering what it costs I think it is a very good deal for the money.

By Ernie, Retired Journeyman Lineman. The XP4400E is well worth the extra cost over the XP4400, as starter rope must be pulled out at an angle.

This is an excellent generator for the money. The voltage regulation is excellent. Amazing output for it's size along with being very quite for the output that it has. The discription Amazon has for it is great, so many items are not discribed well enough. There is a couple points I want to share with present owners and would be owners.

(1) The voltage selector switch not only changes the voltage monitor 120 to 240 but it's main function is tap changing, this being the reason it must not be switched unless breaker is off (open) or generator shut down. It parallels the two power windings when set for 120 to the 120 sockets and the 120-240 socket. You can draw full capacity fron the 120 sockets or at the 120-240 socket from terminals Bu & R, the W terminal has no voltage so 240 is not available now. (Refer to owners manual wiring diagram page 23 or 24)

Set for 240 the switch series the two power windings and now the 120 sockets have only one power winding applied and so half capacity is available here, 1750 watts from either one but only 875 watts each if both are used. The 120-240 socket now has both windings in series and now has 240 from terminal W to Terminal R and will have two 120 circuits, one from terminal W to terminal Bu and the other 120 circuit from Bu to R. Full capacity is available with the 240 voltage and half capacity from each of the 120 circuits. (Bu is the common terminal to both sockets)

(2)It isn't specified the engine has a steel cyinder sleeve and I don't think it does as I run it for 6 hrs. and changed oil and the oil in the drain pan was pretty well loaded with aluminum and silicon swirling around. I will change again after 12-14 hrs. and then every 20 then on. A filter would have been a boon for engine life, but be diligent and change oil often and it will run a long time.

I think some have gotten generators and done them in early because they didn't change oil in time. Very, Very important because the cyinder is aluminum and no oil filter. More power to all, Ernie Wireman

BUYERS BEWARE!!!

I just received this via UPS. The box was damaged and when I opened it, I can see that the arm bracket is bent. I decided not to even take the generator out of the box. As this product is listed as "non-returnable" by Amazon, let's see how the return/exchange process works... I posted a packaging feedback photo to show the condition of the carton upon arrival.

Update: Amazon arranged for pickup and shipped a new one out promptly. Thank you Amazon. However, after assembly and filling with gas, I moved it outside to start it up. I was disappointed to find that the gas tank leaks badly at the gas gauge when the generator is tilted to move it on its wheels. Now that it is filled with gas, let's see what the manufacturer will do for me. Stay tuned...

Maxtool (the manufacturer)shipped the "new" gauge quickly and it arrived today. The one that arrived was rusty and did not include the decal (empty full) but works better than the old one.

FYI, when I removed the old one, it appears that the gauge was damaged in assembly. The plastic part that the screws go thru was cracked by both screws and the glass window was loose. It would appear that to much torque was applied to the screws cracking the plastic part and allowing the glass to be loose and the gas to leak. I will update again when I use it shortly.

Update 2: I used it and it worked well albeit a little noisier than I'd hoped. It did the job though and as such would move the rating up to 2 stars or higher pending more usage/testing.

After 10 months of usage, note the following:

1) Have had to replace the solenoid for the electric starter twice as it has failed twice. My warranty is up in less than 2 months...you can bet I'll be testing solenoid replacement #2. I wonder if lemon laws apply to generators?

2) Changed the spark plug to find out that the OEM plug & gap does not match either plug listed in the manual. Makes you wonder what plug/gap works best in the generator.

3) After the solenoid failed and waiting for replacement #2, the generator failed to start with pull starter. Checked the air filter to find it was saturated with oil. Removed the head cover to find oil in the head. Note, oil was changed and level was maintained correctly. Cleaned head and will monitor oil leak.

4) An extended warranty would be helpful given the amount of problems we have had during the warranty period. However, an extended warranty is not available.

The one thing I will say in MaxTool's favor is that MaxTool does have a good customer service person and he replies promptly and clearly to inquiries. However, if you are not handy with basic engine skills, stay away from this generator or plan to pay for repairs.

DC Car power adapter for Leapster Explorer, Leapster, Lmax, Didj

DC Car power adapter for Leapster Explorer, Leapster, Lmax, DidjThe DC car adapter for the Leapster was used, but in perfect working order. It made for a nice trip home during Christmas break when the batteries ran out from playing it so much! Thanks for the quick delivery, too!

Although the description does not state the adapter fits the LeapPad, I read a reviewer question whether it might. The answer to the question from another reviewer was yes, it did indeed fit the LeapPad. I am not sure if there is a totally different size adapter opening on the LeapPad 2 versus the original LeapPad, but this adapter most definitely does not fit in the LeapPad 2, it is too big. Obviously reading a review and basing my decision to purchase isn't the sellers fault, but I still rated it with 1 star simply because the product does not work for us. So I will be returning the adapter and buying a most likely more expensive adapter that definitely fits the LeapPad 2. I wanted to write this review so that someone else won't read the previous review stating this adapter will work for the LeapPad and be in my same situation. At least this was ordered well in advance of our road trip, so that there is plenty of time to purchase the right adapter!

Instapark® NEW All Black 15W Mono-crystalline Solar Panel

Instapark® NEW All Black 15W Mono-crystalline Solar PanelI mostly agree with the previous review except for one thing the battery issue. I bought the best deep-cycle marine battery ($70 at WalMart) and I am pleased with the results. I drained the battery intentionally and this little 15W panel fully charged it in 4 days (I'm in So Cal). I have a patio room that has my boom-box and a 4 strings of white holiday lights (non-LED) that run off the battery with an inverter. I also charge all my small electronic devices from it. Most days the battery is full as the sun sets. And I have become very conscious to turn off the music and lights when I leave the room to conserve power.

I built a box that houses the battery and mounted the charge controller and inverter on the outside. I am going to add a 2nd panel soon and change the holiday lights to the LED ones (brighter and lower power). Then I'll charge my laptop and power tool batteries from it overnight and keep adding other devices to it and when I need to I'll add another panel and/or another battery.

I consider this a fun experiment that is easy to expand upon and one that has proved to me that solar is the future.

I bought this solar panel to keep my gate openers' 2 12v 7amp-hour batteries charged. I have the mighty mule two-leaf gate opener (from home depot, FM402) and the instructions say you need at least 10 watts of solar to maintain the batteries. Well Mighty Mule's $130 solar panel only generates 5 watts, so you supposedly need two of them to do the job. Keep in mind these specs are rated for dozens (75+) of gate cycles a day.. At my place, the gate cycles 10 times a day MAX (usually more like 4-6) so I really didnt need that much wattage. ANYWAYS I ran the gates on batteries alone (I installed the second optional battery) for a couple of weeks, 10+ cycles per day (lots of adjusting, and testing) and it ran fine. Voltage dropped from 12.5v to 11.5v after approximately 2 weeks which is when I received the solar panel. I installed it and after one sunny day (san diego), the batteries were topped off, back up at 12.5v. So I am pretty confident that the system is going to be reliable even thru winter and low-sun months. The solar panel is well made, and sturdy. For the money, I dont think you can find a better product. Based on the power output, the very SMALL size of the panel, and the LOW price, I dont think you can do any better. I would not hesitate to buy another one, in fact I plan on experimenting with solar for some more projects around my place in the near future. The mighty mule electronics have "solar" inputs built into the board, so there was no need for a charging controller or any kind of regulator. The panel seemed to put out about 20v (meter connected directly to the panel) so keep in mind you cannot just connect it right to a battery.

I finally got around to comparing this panel to a Sunforce 15 watt. The Instapark is constructed with a nice aluminium frame, produced 4.5 time more power in a test I did in North NJ, at 9:45 am in clear conditions on 4/10/2013. 200ma versus 45ma.

I would not waste my money on the charge controller though, these on/off varieties are typically not suitable for most applications.

I got this to keep my extra car battery changed that I use in my tent with my laptop and cpap. This kept it topped off and charged. Now I use it to change my battery on my travel trailer, so far this has been keeping up even with the heater running and the lights being use a little. I do plan on getting a 50 Watt and a voltage regulator for the travel trailer. But so far this has kept up.

the panel is well built and sturdy enough to withstand the shoddy packageing in shipment.

The instructions for wireing are poor and I am a little concerned because I have ordered a second panel and am not shure how to wire the panels togeather.
