RoadPro 5027S 12V Smart Car Pot

Just got this little 12v. pot for heating water, soup, etc. and didn't expect much since I had a recent bad experience with a 12v. coffee maker that, after waiting over an hour for something to happen, didn't work at all. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! This litle unit is well-made and has some very nice features, such as being able to remove the pot from the base for easy cleaning. I also like the fact that, as well as an "on" light, the pot lights up with a white light to let you know that it is seated correctly on the base. It also has a nice safety feature in that it will shut off if there's not enough water, so it won't "burn dry." Best thing, though, is that it really does work! It does take longer with 12v. units, but that's to be expected. However, in less than half an hour the water was bubbling merrily away! I am very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend it.

I purchased this unit as my wife and I love the "coffee on the go" mode and figured to save a few bucks in the long run on the expensive Convenience Store drinks. So far, and that includes three vehicles, we have blown the fuse every time that we plug the RoadPro into the cigarette lighter. I am approaching half the cost of the unit in replaced fuses. I'm not saying that the unit will not work, in fact I believe that it will do what it claims if you can get the proper power to it. For many vehicles, it will require a heavier wire to be routed from the battery to a seperate 12 volt outlet. This takes the convenience away and adding new wiring to the vehicle adds cost to the use of the RoadPro.

Being an over-the-road driver I carried one of these for awhile in order to make coffee and hot cereal. It actually heats pretty well, and is a much better product than the previous one I had. However after about 3 months of 3-4 times a week use, it started to leak through the base and into the heating element. After that it quit completely. As this happened with 2 of these in a row, I tend to believe it's a design flaw. For occasional use, it's probably well worth it, but if you use it regularly, expect to replace it every couple of months.

What a treat to have hot tea or instant coffee on long road trips. Holds enough for 2 cups of your favorite brew. Takes about 15 minutes for hot water, 20 minutes to boil. Very handy.

Want RoadPro 5027S 12V Smart Car Pot Discount?

It takes around a half hour to heat water that is "cool to the touch" up to a temperature suitable for making tea, etc.

This really isn't the fault of the manufacturer. They are stuck making a product that can work on just about any car's accesory outlet (unfortunately some vehicles can't provide more than 10 Amps or so). I bought two of these gadgets and they consume around 8Amps (give or take a bit) or approximately 100watts. That sets how long it takes to heat water.

Otherwise, it is reasonably well built. The little bracket that comes with the car pot is a little cheesy, but everything else is fine.

Not much to say about a car charger other than it works like its supposed to. A tad bulky for the location of my outlet in the car, but easily stored in a compartment.

A few I ordered straight from China and the price for all of them was a couple of dollars each, at most.

They seem to work OK, although I got a report that the red one "got warm" while plugged in, so....I would suggest NOT leaving them plugged in unattended!

They look high-end, though and I think everyone is happy with their charger.

Samsung OEM Fast Charging 1.0 Amp Car Charger with Coil Cord for Samsung Galaxy S3 S III, Galaxy No

Yes it is a Samsung charger as pictured. But it is only 700mA not a full 1 amp. Better than a 500mA I suppose. Shipping was only 3 bucks.

If the description says 1.0 Amp, and the package it comes in says 1.0 Amp, it should be a 1 amp charger, but it's only 700mA.

Very dishonest..... sending it back.

For iPod USB Travel Power Charger Adapter for Nano, Shuffle, 4G, Mini, Photo and U2

I bought this a while back. I was uncertain that I really wanted to trust my $300 ipod to a couple-buck piece of equipment, so I tried it on a cheap palm. It worked great. I tried it on an ipod shuffle. Again, no problem. I have since used it on a Kodak digital camera, and my ipod video and have never had a problem. It charges things up very efficiently. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that the led light never goes out. I do not know if it continues to try to charge once the battery is full or not or if it has the purported chip to prevent overcharging. In any case all my electronics are happy and have not suffered any damage.

Unfortunately some electronics like the Creative Zen micro and the Motorola cell phone require that you use their chargers and do not permit this one to work. Silly but true. For other more items, this is a great way to save a few bucks and save packing space instead of hauling a separate charger for each piece of equipment.

I have only used it in the US (110 volts) although it says it works with current up to 250 volts. I cannot vouch for its function with other voltages.

Opened it up and found vibration from shipping, or earlier, had broken PC connection for heavy capacitor. Plugging in without this connection may have destroyed other devices. It didn't work

I removed some parts for my parts box and called us even on this. Then I bought another unit elsewhere.

This is nice but wasn't exactly what I thought it was. My fault as I did not really read the description as I should have.

What I am searching for is a charger for my iPod/iPad that has folding prongs. Storage space is very minimal as I need it at work and my tool box doesn't exactly have a lot of extra space for this and my tools.

Will continue to use at work until I locate what I truly need. Then hold onto it as a backup piece or use when I travel.

Thor Rechargeable Spotlight

This is a very powerful light. In fact, the video I have uploaded really does not do the spotlight justice to just how bright this thing is! You may wonder why you would have a need for such a bright light, but it really can come in handy. I have it in case our dog gets lost at night, or if we think there is a potential threat (aka potential intruder) in our yard. However, the light is also a great choice for camping or possibly marine applications.

Pros-

Very direct beam the light is narrow and penetrating

Charges fully within 8 hours

Has a car adapter

Not too heavy

Affordable

Areas for improvement

Other spotlights have two settings Ultra-bright and one that is less intense that is handy for saving the battery.

Need to keep an eye on how long it charges charging for over 24 hours can ruin the battery.

Like all powerful Halogen lights it generates heat. Be careful leaving the light on an unattended.

Final Verdict Great lightI am very happy with its performance.

5 stars

This halogen spotlight is just what the doctor ordered, and at a great price. My older spotlight died after 8 years, and I did the research on Amazon to find this one; super power, great price.

And let me tell you; it does not disappoint.....with 6.5 M candlepower, it lights up my woods and stream (in the dead of night) like it was daytime!!!

The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have an led to let you know when the thing is fully recharged....you just have to wing it yourself. Which is not all that terrible....I plug it in to recharge about 10pm and then disconnect it at 6am the next day. So far this has worked just fine.

Buy Thor Rechargeable Spotlight Now

This is a reasonably bright spotlight with a nice, focused beam that concentrates the light well at great distances. We bought it a year ago, and it worked fine from last fall through this spring. We rarely use it during the summer months as the long hours of daylight up here in Michigan's UP make it unnecessary. However, it was used once in a while and was regularly recharged.

Started using it daily again over the last two weeks and it just died. Bulb is fine, contacts all fine. Apparently, the battery is kaput. It should last longer than a year.

Although this is a bright light, it has several drawbacks:

* You must remember not to leave it on the charger longer than specified (or risk ruining the battery -a really dumb design).

* There is no charging indicator light -another dumb design (or lack of design).

* It's damn big and heavy.

I think I'm going to give up on rechargeable high-power spotlights. We've owned a half dozen of them, all different manufacturers, and none have lasted. I think I'd rather use one that requires regular battery changes. I've got a six-cell MagLite that's not as bright but, when I pick it up, I KNOW it's going to work.

Read Best Reviews of Thor Rechargeable Spotlight Here

Long ago I purchased a similar spotlight rated at 500,000 (1/2 million) candlepower. This one is rated at 2.5 million candlepower by the manufacturer, but is nowhere near as bright as the old unit. I guess the definition of a candlepower has changed (grin).

This unit has an on/off switch. I also preferred the old unit's trigger switch, which allowed easy momentary use. The trigger could also be locked for continuous use. With this one, momentary use is really not possible.

The unit I received does not look like the picture. The one I received has one moveable support on the bottom, which can be placed in four positions to allow various upwards angles when the light is placed on the ground. It also has a "pistol" grip which swings up from the carry handle. This is supposed to allow you to use "pinpoint aiming" when holding the unit upside-down with the grip. Big deal. Leave out the grip and add more candlepower, please.

I did not give it only one star because it does work.

HTC EVO 4G Supersonic SPRINT Car Windshield Dash Mount Cradle Holder Kit

First of all, the seller has lighting shipping! Thank you. The product arrive just as described and it has held up perfectly. It is a little flimsy, but that doesn't bother me at all. You have the option of mounting your phone in an 90 degree angle or even 360 degree angle. You receive a dash mount if you prefer not to hang your mount via the windshield. The suction cup holds perfectly,and very durable. I love the mount and the price even better. Thanks again

I just received this item in the mail today...and out of everything I purchased on amazon this was just perfect, exactly what I wanted.

This is perfect for the EXTENDED BATTERY and let alone the CASE on the phone.I can even use this with an Ipod,and basically anything else. I loved how i received this before the set date...I am so happy with this purchase and I hope others enjoy as well. Totally recommend this car mount very sturdy and worth the price!

I was skeptical about this item because it's so inexpensive that I thought, how good can it be? Well, it's marvelous. I ordered one about a year ago and it has worked wonders in my car, where I use my phone as a GPS. It lasted very well until my 4 year old nephew got hold of it and twisted it using the plastic part, which separated, so it could no longer be used (not his fault, he was just trying to look closely at it) so I ordered another one and it's still just as wonderful. In fact, I'm going to get another one for my husband, whether he likes it or not :-) It will fit just about any phone from an iPhone to a Galaxy Epic Touch, to an Evo it just expands to fit any phone. It used to be mounted on my windshield, but I've now put it on my dashboard. There are more expensive items out there, yes, but I can't see how they'd do a better job. One of the best buys I've made. Please be aware though that not all the car mounts you buy from this particular product link are like the one in the photo. I just ordered one from this site and it was the same KIND of thing, i.e. it was a car mount, but it was NOT the same one in the photo, and this arrived broken, poorly packed so make sure you examine the one you get. The arm on this one is shorter, so even if it wasn't broken, I still wouldn't want it. The one I originally got was from Boho Tronics and that one has quite a long arm so you can move the phone wherever you want. In my opinion, make sure you get from Boho Tronics as you can trust them that they'll send you this exact product. It's a really great accessory if you use your phone as a GPS.

UPDATE: One of our employees liked it so much we got him one and I'm ordering yet another one or two for our company vehicles and I'm getting my husband one too. LOVE IT! And Boho Tronics is the best place to get this from cheapest and most reliable.

When I opened this item and started putting it together it is loose. I added some super glue to the back of the phone holder and now it is in place and I have no worries this will get the job done.

You need to be careful when buying a charger for your iPod. Many of the cheap ones on the market don't have any protection to keep your iPod from overcharging, heating up and burning out. And guess what, if you over charge and burn out your iPod, the warranty is void. This charger is a little more expensive than most but it won't overcharge. It's a very well made unit and folds flat for easy packing. I've used Monster products before and their products are a good measure of the age old adage; "You get what you pay for".

Buy Monster iSlimCharger AC Wall Charger with USB Connection for iPod (Black) Now

I bought this charger from Amazon.com 3 weeks ago. Over this time, it has been working perfectly as expected. I keep it plugged into an outlet with the iPod's cable attached and just connect the iPod whenever it needs a re-charge. My 5G iPod video, 2.5 years old, recharges from 0 to full in less than hour and a half. The charger does not have any light indicator, but the iPod will say "Charged" on its screen, once that is achieved. Monster says there is a smart device inside that will keep your iPod from overcharging.

Something that may not be obvious from the pictures this charger is really very small. It is about the same width and height as my Motorola Razr phone charger, only at least twice thinner, making it a real winner over Apple's own charger it will fit in much smaller pockets. The prongs are shifted from the center to one side and spring-loaded, so unfolding them is a snap, quite literally well, in a good way.

Obviously, a dedicated charger for an iPod is by no means necessary, as long as one remains within reach of a computer, but it is a great convenience, especially for those of us who rely on a laptop. You know your computer only charges the iPod when it's awake, right? Not to mention the times when there is no computer around a scary thought, I know...

Finally, a note for fellow comparison shoppers: the current price for this item here, ~$21, is good. You can get it from that popular internet auction site for $10 but will pay another $10 in shipping. Or, you could consider Apple's own charger, I heard it is cheaper from Apple directly, or from that same place on the web, the one that rhymes with "bay". I just liked Monster's charger much better. And do yourself a favor, stay away from those $1.50-$2 chargers you see popping up in your "iPod charger" search. How much did you pay for your iPod? Thought so...

WKA12-12F2 Replacement Battery 12 volt 12ah F2 terminals

I just had to buy 2 of these batteries for an APC UPS power supply. This is the second time I have replaced these batteries and the last set of Werker batteries lasted 3 years. I have used Werker batteries and had reasonable success with them and the price was 60% of buying the original replacement batteries.

I did have one battery go bad after a little over a year so that is why I gave it only 4 stars. The warranty is for 1 year. (Same as the warranty on the original replacement batteries)

They are good quality and lower in price for the equivalent performance. They are 12 VDC batteries rated at 12 AH. When you are changing them in a UPS, make sure that you remove any external battery jumper (If you have one on your UPS) for safety reasons. Also carefully remove and save your internal connection cables and make sure that the fuse in still ok that is located between the two batteries.

They will not be fully charged when you get them so they will take at least 24 hours to reach peak performance. Based on the results I have seen in my personal experience these batteries are a good buy.

Quality, value for product, fit well into battery compartment and I would recommend this product to anyone needing this product.

Buy WKA12-12F2 Replacement Battery 12 volt 12ah F2 terminals Now

It is true that this is not a Werker brand battery, but it is a replacement for the listed Werker brand battery at a very reasonable price. The one that I received from eCom arrived quickly but just packed within bubble wrap and a couple of bubble-wrap envelopes. However, it seemed to survive the trip from New York to Arizona and went right in my UPS and tested fine with almost no charging time before I tested it. The date code on the battery was a little over a year old. So only time will tell how long the battery lasts for me and whether I get the service out of it that I got from the Werker battery that it replaced. I will update this review if I encounter problems--otherwise you can assume that things are still working fine for me.

Retractable Rapid Car Charger with IC Chip for Sprint, Alltel HTC Touch Pro Smartphone

This was great to have on long drives, like 9 hour ones, so you could rest assured knowing that your phone was always going to have power in your truck or car on long trips.

The tip that actually goes into your lighter port came off. It didn't seem to be fastened on tight enough. I had to put it back on and really get it on tight for it to stay. It charges fine though. Might lose connection to the power if not positioned just right, but it does the job.

Buy Retractable Rapid Car Charger with IC Chip for Sprint, Alltel HTC Touch Pro Smartphone Now

As you probably figured out already, I purchased this item 2x's. The 2nd time convinced me that the item has a serious flaw in its manufacturing. When it is plugged into the car, it becomes loose around the piece that connects to the charger, hence the connecting piece begins to loosen after awhile eventually resulting in the device breaking down prematurely.

I would only recommend this device with admonishment that the user takes the head off and glue it on before screwing it back on. This measure would insure that it would stay on after continuous unplugging.

The wire is thin on this adapter. My wife used it for about a month before it stopped working. I warned her not to let it retract fast and snap back in, she was careful and did not let that happen, it still only lasted about a month.

I'll start with the good: It looks good, feels relatively sturdy, and does put out 5 volts over USB. Now for the bad: First off, the red LED that comes on is WAY too bright. I wouldn't want to drive at night with it on, which is annoying. Also, While i was testing it, i noticed that the unit felt warm after only 2-3 minutes of charging. It was emitting a burning electronics smell. thats not good! So, considering that the device cost less than 3 bucks, i just took it apart to see what was up....

The device uses an MC34063a voltage converter chip. This chip is tinymaybe 5mm by 2.5mm. This is the source of the heat!!!! I plugged my Droid X into the charger (which was connected to 12v through an ammeter) and after 5-10 minutes of charging, the surface of the chip was 186 degrees F. Not only is this insane, it's also way past the operating range of the chip (about 150 degrees). At this time the charger was pulling .5 to .6 of an amp from the power source to charge the phone.

While technically it works, i wouldn't rely on it. I doubt it will last long considering how hot it gets.

Buy Universal Mini USB Car Charger Adapter, Black Now

The adapter arrived just as it looks in the picture, and it sports a much better form-factor than the clunky alternatives found on Amazon. It's worth noting that the black circle next to the USB input is a blue LED indicator light, letting you know that the device has power. However, the blue light is rather bright. While I like the blue light, some might find it distracting when driving at night; it lights up a good bit of the car.

In my older Infiniti, I have to twist the adapter to find the sweet-spot to get it to hold a charge in the cigarette lighter. I think the problem may lie more with my car than the adapter, though. Once I find the sweet-spot, the adapter works just fine.

When I used the adapter in a 1996 Camry, I had a different result. The adapter worked just fine immediately. I tried twisting the unit to recreate the problem from the first car, but it never lost charge. I actually ran into an unexpected problem. The 1996 Camry has a recessed cigarette lighter, and the nice, small adapter fit into it absolutely flush -so flush that I couldn't pull it out. I ended up having to loop string around the adapter and pull it out that way (worked like a charm).

The adapter seems to work just fine, and I have no problem recommending this for purchase -just make sure your car doesn't have an overly-recessed lighter.

Although, these are nice and cheap, I've had two die on me after a month or so. The fuses seems to be okay. They both just stop charging and the light no longer illuminates. The price is not worth the hassle if you end up having to buy something better anyways.

Want Universal Mini USB Car Charger Adapter, Black Discount?

In one of the product reviews... the person mentioned that the big light on the front is blue, but on the version I recently bought from the Eforcity storefront, it illuminates red (which is fine by me). The light turns on immediately once it is plugged into a running car. I have yet to charge my device fully in the car, so I don't know if the light changes color or not. However, I think the mobile phone has its own control function when the battery is fully charged anyway.

Essentially, this adapter converts your cigarette lighter port into a USB port. The adapter is called "mini" due to its general size as it is much less bulkier than your regular car adapters/chargers. Thus to help with those that may still be confused, the port is not for a mini-USB connector, as it sports a standard USB port. You will need to also purchase a seperate USB cord for charging. For my HTC Evo, I bought a micro USB to standard USB cord which works perfectly so far. Great product and very affordable!

It looks nice and cheap. It fits in my cigarette adapter well. However, it always turns off randomly!!! The light just go out without any reason and my phone stops charging. This situation happens all the time and I got crazy because I depend on it to charge my phone in the car. The other bad thing about this adapter is that it gets very hot after several minutes charging...

The price is not worth the hassle if you end up having to buy something better anyways!!
