SimplySleeper Premium Air Mattress with Built-In Pump & Rechargeable Battery

PROS:
very comfortable (forgot it's an air bed)
No sagging after a night of sleep
Easy to use pump (it deflate or inflates)
Bed has integrated travel bag with zippers that make folding and unfolding super easy (best feature!)
Lightweight and stylish
Cons:
Battery was not charged initially
You can not plug pump and inflate/deflate at the same time, must remove pump to charge up battery
UPDATE: I left it a 4 star earlier, but I am giving it a 5 star now. I lent it to a friend for camping and she absolutely loved it and wanted to buy one. I let her keep mine as a gift and just ordered another for myself. :)

Received this item the other day, and based on previous reviews immediately plugged the charger in overnight. The next day checked both inflation and deflation and everything worked fine. It was very quick and simple. Then I refilled the mattress and left it up a couple of days and it lost no air at all and indeed is very comfortable. I really like how it folds up into the attached bag very easily. Will now take it camping for a few days and am looking forward to the comfort I experienced here at home. Any problems and I will add them to this review, but I really feel that I have purchased an excellent product, well worth the extra money for both the durability, comfort, and ease of use.I ordered 2 of the twin size and 2 of the queen size for family camp outs. I have purchased others, even expensive ones and have been disappointed. These air beds are simply wonderful.... you just charge the pump, when ready, insert pump with end marked inflate and in seconds your bed is ready....when ready to deflate, just reverse process... bed deflates in seconds. flat enough to put right back into the carrying case it came in.Wonderful firm bed ready in seconds... my grandsons use theirs also for Friday movie night sleepover in the living room and they hold up beautifully!
I would make a commercial for this product I am so pleased with it!

We ordered this bed for my sister's b-day at first. But ended up opened it before giving to her, cause my kids were curious how the built in pump works. My whole family of 5 were so amazed how quickly and convenient it is to inflate and how the pump was designed! My 3 kids slept on it for the whole weekend, and looking forward to use it again this weekend. They're loving it! :) Is nice to have around for trips or sleepover. Best of all, is comfy & not like other inflatables, super hard to fold it back and never can fit back in the box after use. This one comes with a attached zipper bag (u can't lose it) and the pump deflates itselfs, just fold it in and store back in the perfect fit bag easily. I will have to order another one for sister, we are keeping this one after all. :)The con is you can't charge and inflate same time but speedy inflation (inflate the bed within 1-2 mins) with 1 hour charge time.

ATD Tools 5928 12 V 1700 Peak Amp JumpStart

Buy ATD Tools 5928 12 V 1700 Peak Amp JumpStart Now
I think this Jump Pack could start the Space Shuttle!! It is a little big and a little heavy but man can this thing crank! The best feature is the long cables. they are very soft and flexible. you can set the pack on the ground and the cables will easily reach your battery. Nice for when you don't have a spot under the hood to balance the pack while you start your vehicle. I will be ordering another one for my dad's birthday.Look no further, this is the last pack you'll need!

Bought this to replace a older starting unit from Home Depot that didn't have enough power to turn over the car. Batteries are heavy and you can tell right away that there is a substantial battery inside this unit because it it heavy. This unit was the most powerful I could find and on my first use as soon as I hooked it up the whole car came alive with radio, AC blower and everything else that was on when the car was last turned off. The motor turned over as quickly as a normal start. The cables are long enough to leave the unit on the ground and reach the battery and very flexible making them easy to maneuver. Very happy with this purchase, my neighbor has borrowed it twice now and is about to order one for themselves.The ATD 5928 is built to stand the wear and tear from constant use. It is charged using a charger that has a 120vac to 12vdc transformer on one end and a cigarette lighter plug on the other end. It is not a typical set up. When I tried to find a replacement cable, the company had no idea where to specifically find the part. They don't support the product, the consumer needs to search on their own and/or design there own replacement part. For a product that sells for somewhere between $90 and $199, depending on where you look and how much the shipping will cost, that seems like a very problematic philosophy for running a company. You either provide parts support, make the parts standard off of someone's shelf, or you send two sets of the parts most likely to fail.Friday, September 5, 2014
Schumacher SP3 Automatic Battery Extender / Maintainer

That being said, there are a couple of quirks the user should be aware of. The % capacity display is not at all accurate. It will typically state that a battery is 95% full, then increase slowly until saying it is fully charged, and on maintaining. I used this with several 9Ah 12V batteries, and some 8.5Ah 6V batteries. All of these were tested before & after with a BK Precision 601 professional battery analyzer. The readings never agreed, but that is not necessarily a problem.
BK Precision 601 Battery Capacity Analyzer
While the $400+ BK 601 is a great tool, it is not necessary to know the precise values of capacity, load and no-load voltage or internal resistance (unless you want to know these things of course!) If you are maintaining SLA batteries of a smaller capacity, say anywhere from 3 to 20Ah or so, just hook up the Schumacher and ignore the initial reading. If it says 95%, the capacity might be 80% or might be 45% (I saw readings higher and lower on the 601) No matter. Let the Schumacher charge until it says 'Fully Charged' or 'battery maintaining'. But do not stop charging just yet. At that point, the actual capacity might only be at 95 or 97% (as verified by the 601). Let it go another 15 minutes or half an hour. Then go ahead and disconnect. By that time, nearly all the batteries I tested were at the full 100% according to the BK 601.
If the battery is too far gone, the Schumacher will let you know. There are a few batteries here and there that will accept a charge from the Schumacher, but may not perform as well as new batteries. Outside of a professional analyzer, there is not much you can do about them. They will work, but may only have 90% or so of the charge. The Schumacher does as best as it can with them.
It also oworked well at auto-detecting 6V batteries. Very simple to use, and for easy operation and good performance, and a great price, I give it 5 stars. Just be aware of its limitations.After receiving this gadget, I realize that I probably could have used the smaller SP2 unit, but now that I've had it a few weeks, I'm quite pleased with how it works.
It is pretty large, but still only about a quarter the sise of a car charger. It's roughly the size of a brick, and has a big LED readout that tells you what it's doing readable from a good distance.
So far, I've only used the alligator clips for my motorcycle battery, but this also comes with a connector that you can attach permanently to the battery and has a simple connector to the charger cord. That means you don't have to remove the seat to hook up the charger. That seems pretty useful, and if I ever decide to unhook my battery and risk losing all the settings on my stereo, I'll install it.
I think something like this is essential in places that have a proper winter that keeps you from riding for weeks at a time.

This is a great gadget and a must have for any garage mechanic. It takes the guess work out of your battery's maint. Very easy to use. Ive only had it a few days and its already saved me time. I highly reccomend it. Well worth the money!!!Read Best Reviews of Schumacher SP3 Automatic Battery Extender / Maintainer Here
I love his little charger. I had been using old technology that only displays amperage. This charger shows you voltage and percentage of charge. Automatically selects battery voltage and type. Maintains battery at correct voltage and current to keep it float charged and avoid overcharging and damage. It's a keeper! Keep in mind it is a maintenance charger, not a high current deep charger.Want Schumacher SP3 Automatic Battery Extender / Maintainer Discount?
I bought this battery "extender" to maintain the battery in my two-year-old, rarely-driven garage queen. When I first attached the unit, it said it was analyzing the battery, then reported that it was 5% charged, and proceeded to begin charging. The car had been sitting for three weeks, so I was not alarmed at the battery's condition. It has now been 48 hours, and display says the battery is at 91% charge, the same thing it said twelve hours ago. So either my like-new battery can no longer take a full charge, or this unit is flawed in some way.Other than this odd behavior, I like the SP3. It tells you what it's doing, takes up little space, and comes with a few different connection options.
One last thing. The manual that comes in the box is brief and omits information--like the connection options. I found a better copy online, but that should not be necessary.
Here is an update: after four days of charging (!), the unit finally switched over to "Maintaining", so all seems well.

OEM Rapid Car Charger with IC Chip (SPN5400) for Verizon Motorola Droid A855 Cell Phone

Yes 5x.
Other thoughts: To get the phone maker's OEM branded (Motorola)charger shipped to my door for $8.08 is a very good deal. The charger looks cool with the lighted blue window that's viewable from all angles, so you don't have to fiddle with the charger to find some tiny little LED to see if it's on nice feature. The construction quality is clearly much better than the off-branded one I picked up at an auto parts store as a tide-me-over backup. The smart chip works, as the charger did not push juice to the phone when full, but when the phone had been used for a little while and reconnected it began charging only until full again. This is comforting...who needs a ruined battery or electrical fire in their car?..especially if they aren't around.
Would I recommend this to a friend or family member? Yes.First things first: IF (and that's IF) you get the genuine OEM Motorola charger listed here, the SPN5400, it works great with modern smart phones like the Motorola Droid, The Incredible, The Google Nexus One, etc. Basically, if your phone has a micro USB connector (and almost all of the newer generation smart phones do), then this is the charger for you.
That said: Not every seller is selling the right item. There are lots of reports of people getting the wrong charger (I've had this happen myself). Your best bet: Amazon, who not only IS selling the correct charger, but has the best price, when you factor in shipping, provided you qualify for free shipping from Amazon (either with Prime, or if your order is > $25).
The Amazon listing for this charger can be found here: Motorola P513 Vehicle Power Adapter MicroUSB Rapid Rate Charger. Search through the sellers to find Amazon. Their price, if you get free shipping from Amazon, is the cheapest. And you are guaranteed of getting the correct item, brand new, retail.
OK, that said, here's the rest of my review:
There are so many sketchy sellers selling phone chargers out there, that it can be a bit scary. The problem is that if the charger is poorly made, the output of the charger can be out of spec and can, in some cases, fry the phone you connect to it.
For that reason, when it comes to phone chargers, you should stick to name brands. (They are all made in China, but the name brand ones are usually subject to stricter QA).
When I found this charger on Amazon, SOLD BY AMAZON, I jumped on it. It's a MICRO USB car charger, made for Motorola and sold under the Motorola name, in retail packaging. The rated output is 4.75-5.25V and 950mA.
This charger should work fine with most any phone that uses the MICRO USB connector. The key number to pay attention to is the second one, the rated amperage. This is the MAXIMUM amount of current that the phone can request from the charger. A typical USB port on a PC provides as little as 100mA, and few provide more than 500mA. So this charger should charge your phone faster than when it's connected to a PC. A few phones out now can use up to 1000mA. But that just means they CAN use that amount. If 950mA is provided, they'll still charge, just a bit more slowly.
Note that the amperage (second number) merely tells you how much the charger CAN supply, if requested. The phone itself is responsible for asking for the current. That is to say, if this charger can provide 950mA, but your phone can only use 300mA--no problem. Your phone asks for 300mA and the charger provides all of what is requested. If, on the other hand, your phone can use 1000mA, this charger will provide all it can, which is 950mA--a wee bit less than the max asked for. That's also not a problem; it just means your phone will charge a little bit (not much in this case) more slowly. The rated voltage for this charger is presented in a range of 4.75-5.25V. The "ideal" voltage for a USB charger of any type if 5V. And most chargers for home use are rated right at 5V. But car chargers work in a noisier environment and thus you have the range. This is where a cheapo charger can really do damage, as some of them are poorly regulated and can provide voltages that are WAY out of spec. Again, when you can get a name brand charger from a seller you can trust (Amazon) for such a reasonable price, it's very foolish to consider the cheapo no-names.
This is an excellent quality name brand travel micro USB charger at a price that beats the no-name junk from third party sellers. What's not to like?
BE SURE TO ORDER IT FROM AMAZON AND NOT ONE OF THE THIRD PARTY SELLERS, as some of those have been known to make mistakes with respect to what they ship relative to the listing. I can confirm that Amazon is shipping the P513 /89143N /SPN5400 charger, as pictured.

This product works great with my new Motorola Droid. Charges very fast and has a cool blue light that shows when it has power. Too bad my truck just got broken into and it got stolen. Will have to get another one. I recommend this product if you own a Droid.Very cool looking. Charges the phone without any problems. What more do you want for five bucks? :-)I was skeptical based on the price as well as some other reviews. I've been very pleased, though, with the value and effectiveness of this charger. No, it's not going to completely recharge your battery from the brink of death in 20 minutes, but in an hour, with the phone inactive, I've seen a 40% increase in charge. It's also nice to have when using the GPS function or the music player on the Droid. I'm able to keep the phone in use for hours without having to worry about a dead battery by the end of my ride.Tuesday, June 24, 2014
PowerDrive RPPD300 300-Watt DC to AC Power Inverter with USB Port and 2 AC Outlet

The only bad thing I can say about it is in the winter when its below 20F outside and I turn it on the fan is loud and I think the bearings need to be fixed but when it warms up it is quiet.I originally bought this at a truck stop in Oregon, we were on a trip down to Florida. I must have used it for hours to charge stuff and watch movies, etc.
That was about 3 years ago, may dad keeps it in his truck and we still use it today!
There's probably better Inverters out there, but, for me at least, this has lasted a pretty long time.

I bought it to run my laptop in the car with the power supply rated @90w. This junk could not handle that the fault light would come on immediately when the laptop gets fired meaning it's actual power output is LESS THAN 90 watts!To anybody who has any experience with inverters knows that there will be fan noise as the heat generated in the inversion process. This device was 20 bucks and i had it simultaneously charging a laptop, and ipad and a ipod touch with its 2 outlets plus usb. It worked great for me. I must admit the design of the cables is a little clunky but for 20 bucks this works great.Want PowerDrive RPPD300 300-Watt DC to AC Power Inverter with USB Port and 2 AC Outlet Discount?
I bought this unit to recharge my Makita 18V lithium batteries on my way into work when I was in a jam. With the radio on and traveling down the highway at 70 MPH in a pickup truck I could still hear the fan on the unit alot more than expected. I tried recharging 2 different batteries on it and the charger said both batteries were defective. When I got home I was able to plug the charger into the wall outlet and every thing was fine. The owners manual said that this inverter may not be compatible with printers; photocopiers; hard drives; laptops; solid state power or variable speed tools; electronic ballast fluorescent lights; battery chargers for cordless tools; digital clocks & medical equipment. The charger and the batteries for Makita lithium ion have computers in them so I'm SOL. If you're a contractor this isn't for you.Wednesday, May 28, 2014

Buy Instapark® NEW All Black 20W High-Efficiency Mono-crystalline Solar Panel Now
I work in the solar industry but we only deal with larger panels for homes and bushiness. I bought this little panel to keep my deep cycle battery in my camper topped off when I'm camping. It is a nice looking all black panel and seems to be well built. The voltage and current readings seemed to be within spec according to my multimeter and overall I'm very happy with it. The only reason I gave it four stars is that the junction box wiring in the back is a little cheap looking and might require some service if the wires are tugged. The panel is also a very nice small size which is great for taking in your car or RV. Compare the dimensions of this crystalline silicon panel to amorphous versions of the same wattage crystalline silicon is still much more efficient. There is some debate about whether the amorphous products produce better with partial shading or in low light but I'm not convinced by those arguments.Read Best Reviews of Instapark® NEW All Black 20W High-Efficiency Mono-crystalline Solar Panel Here
