Uniden GMR2875-2CK 28-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Waterproof Two-Way Radios (Camo)

• 28-mile range, submersible/floating GMRS 2-way radios
• 142 privacy + 143 group codes; 22 total channels
• Silent mode with vibrate alert; Direct call with name display
• Mossy Oak New Breakup camo pattern
• Includes two radios, two NiMH rechargeable batteries and dual-bay charging cradle

The features are what sell this radio, but the cons will make you think twice about it. I recommend downloading the User's Manual PDF from Uniden for more specifics about these radios.

CONs -

I'm going to primarily talk about the cons of these radios since that is why you are reading this review.

1) They are larger than you think. If you intend on using these in a park or on the slopes, be advised that they are longer and thicker than most radios. My kids did not like to carry them for that reason, and it was not easy for me either, with such a long (rubber coated and flexible to a degree) antenna poking you in the side constantly.

2) They are also heavier than most radios of this type. I suspect that is due mostly to the type of construction given their water resistant nature.

3) The overall construction is solid, and has a good feel to it, but I would have to say the weakest link is the detachable Belt Clips, which are included. The good news is they're replaceable if you break or lose them.

4) The speaker is small, and in my opinion too small. Sounds distorted like you are in a deep hole.

5) We ended up repeating ourselves a lot due to the poor sound quality, especially with any real distance or background noise. The Volume settings are 0 7, and the MAX volume 7 is poor and is hard to hear in places like amusement parks. Although it does have alert and call tones that can punch through the background noise, the poor quality, distortion and minimal volume at max can be a real negative, and requires a the user to compensate with slower more pronounced speech, or hold the unit closer to your ears.

6) These units do not have ear bud or VOX features, again due to their water resistant construction, and it's a tradeoff to consider. It probably would have been a nice feature for Hunters.

7) The Radios are only usable with the factory battery packs. I highly recommend spare batteries if you don't have a way to recharge them in the field.

8) Unfortunately the Charger is slow, and they are not a smart charger, and will eventually cook the batteries over time if the radios are left in the charger too long.

9) The Battery Condition Monitor is a joke. The Batteries have a capacitive nature, so under light use, the indication shows Full due the batteries apparent voltage appearing higher than when under load and pulling the voltage down to its real state of charge. This becomes a problem when you think you have good battery capacity remaining, and then with a few minutes of use, the indication rapidly drops to Low Battery Warning, and then it starts Beeping to warn you that you only have a few minutes of use remaining. The Batteries last about 1 ½ days on a charge with light use, and a day with heavier use depending on what power level you Transmit at.

10) Transmission Distance is the usual overrated manufacture Hype. In an average residential area, I got good clear transmissions at about ¼ mile using 1 watt transmissions, and about 1 ½ miles using the 5 watt BOOST mode, after that, it drops off rapidly in quality. My best transmission distance (understandable but not real clear) was 9 ½ miles as-the-crow-flies over open salt water from about 200 ft above sea level from hilltop to hilltop across a bay including about ¼ mile of land on each end as measured by Google Earth. Not bad, but I was expecting better, especially over water given the 28 mile hype.

11) The screen is adequate, but some of the smaller lettering can be difficult to see in bright light.

12) I like the Missed call Alert, but I think Uniden missed the boat when they limited the various ways that feature can be used. I does have its plusses, but I think they could have done better with this feature given that these radios will be purchased primarily for their outdoorsmen features.

13) If there are other radios in the area using the same frequency, it can really affect the performance of the radios. This is true of any of these type of radios, since the privacy codes, are really an automatic Squelch control to help keep you from hearing unwanted radio conversation from those outside of your desired users. As an example, while at Disneyland, two local (outside the park) Radio Hams were using Base Stations on our channel to chat. We didn't know this until a period where we were trying to talk, but their radios were overwhelming ours, and garbling our transmissions to the point where we used Cell Phone Backup. At the time we were not in the "GROUP MODE", so I was unable to switch the other radios as mentioned below.

14) The CALL feature works great, but functions differently between the "Group Mode" and the "Standard Mode" because the Group Mode is designed to be able to single out a single user in a group of 16 or less users, rather than the "ALL CALL" in standard mode. This can be confusing to users in the GROUP MODE who are not Techno-Junkies, and get confused easily. If everyone in the GROUP understands how to use this feature, it's great. On the other hand, it can lead to someone thinking they have used the CALL button to page everyone with a single push, but in fact, the first push asks WHO in the Group you are paging, ALL or 1-16 by pushing a series of buttons, or at least pushing the CALL button twice for everyone. In the Standard Mode, one push does the job.

PROs -

1) They float and can withstand minor submersion for 30 min with no ill effects I have not tested this feature, but it's nice to know that if you do drop it in water, you will probably still have a working radio.

2) The Group Features and especially the ability to change every radio in the group's Channel Number to a different frequency from a single radio is GREAT Well done Uniden.

3) The Radio has a selection of Tones for Paging and other features. Enough that it should meet most needs.

4) I also like that you can turn the Roger Beep OFF. Some radios I have used can't do that, and that can be annoying after a while.

5) The Menu System is fairly easy to use, and there is a Key Lock feature that should help prevent unwanted changes. Some keys are still available such as Volume Control when the Lock feature is active.

I have 35 plus years of experience with industrial radios including commercial grade radios for Fire Service and in industrial Power Plant settings. As a radio hobbyist, I have used most types of non-commercial radios from walkie-talkies, & CB's up thru the current range of FRS, GMRS & MURS radios. These Uniden Radios transmit over a reasonable distance for non-commercial radios, but that is a function of Terrain and Obstacle dependent as is true in the commercial world too.

Overall, I like these radios for their specific features. They are a decent value, but like most radios in this class, they have their pluses and minuses. If you have a realistic understanding of what affects transmission distance, you will find these radio's adequate for their intended purpose i.e. use around harsh or wet environments. If you're looking for radios to use in normal dry conditions, there are much better values out there.

waterproof, but a little big. wanted to put it on a helmet, but may be too big for that. headphones jack would be nice too, but that would probably affect waterproof-ness. otherwise, as good as advertised.

Cellet Y Socket Extension (Silver)

I bought this product for my Ford Focus, because the car had only one 12V socket. I had my iPod and GPS, so I needed a splitter. I bought this product and it worked for about two months. It then began loosing the connection as it would slightly slide out of the 12V socket and disconnect. I took the unit apart to see what was wrong and it is a terrible design. The inside is cheaply made and not designed to last. The spring that allows the end plug to touch the outlet broke off and the would not allow a connection. I repaired the unit, but it broke again shortly their after. It is now not repairable and I am going to buy a differnt product. This product looks nice but is a waste of money. Get another splitter for your car.

Sockets are very loose. I have a goose neck FM transmitter to hold my I-phone. Phone kept on falling, screen has a scratch now.

I drive an automatic '09 Toyota Matrix and the car may be the actual problem, but this adapter doesn't work in this car. The console and emergency brake handle are too crowded for a "straight run" or a simple upward tilt. I frequently lost power and had to hold pressure on the adapter in order for it to make proper contact. I bought a pig tail type adapter and it works fine.

Portable Bluetooth Rechargeable Speaker For Many Cellphones mp3 mp4 iPod iPhone

This is by far one of my favorite purchases ever. Connects via bluetooth to your phone or whatever else. I originally bought this so I could listen to my music and podcasts in the shower, without needing my phone in a steamy room to get ruined. Works great! I can keep my phone plugged in elsewhere and just bring the speakers outside or the kitchen. I have even taken it to the beach and kept my phone safely tucked away elsewhere. Also, this is by far the least expensive bt speaker, so I thought the sound would be awful. NOPE! The sound is excellent! Nice bass and clear highs. Think I might buy another!

I bought this speaker from Cell Phone Shop online store and so far I'm pleased with the quality for the price, sure it's no $400 high end speaker like a BOSE (Which is a over priced brand anyway) or maybe Ihome or Logitech Wireless Boombox or the quality you would get from a wired set of Quality speakers but for 25 bucks shipped its a good speaker that has decent volume which is what I wanted it for.

It has decent highs and good mid range and fair Bass for such small speakers you can't expect deep bass but at least it has some Bass.

It gets fairly loud without too much distortion at max volume on both the speaker and the Blue Tooth device if I set the speakers to Max volume and my Tablet it distorts slightly but if I set my tablet volume to less then max but leave the speakers at Max then it will not distort.

One thing I kind of don't like is how the volume on the speakers does not increase and decrease very gradually it kind of jumps in larger steps then other audio devices but that is easily composted by using the volume controls on your device.

I tested it with my Samsung Intensity 3 and it seemed to work ok with voice commands even if I did not hold it like a mike and was back a few feet in front of the speakers and it still understood what I was saying have not tried it on a actual call to a real person yet.

I also I like how it comes with a audio patch cable and a little disk thing for the stand it has a hole in it and I guess that is so you can put it on a string but I don't see where you can tie the other end to the speaker, there is a hole at the top right corner of the speaker but it does not go through to the side of the speaker so the string would have no where to come out and tie to the speaker, maybe the hole so to tie the speaker to something on a table to keep it from being accidentally pushed, pulled or knocked off the table.

The other good thing is the battery is a Nokia Cell Phone battery that is easily replaced and if you have old Nokia Phone laying around you can always have a charged battery handy and use the cell phone to charge one battery while using another one so if one battery runs out of charge you can just swap it out with the one already charged by the phone and charge the discharged one in the phone and not have to wait for the speaker to charge the battery before you can use it without being tied to the AC Outlet or you computers USB Port.

I've only had it a day so I can't say anything about the durability or longevity of the product but I hope it lasts many years.

Pros:

Only 25 bucks shipped from

Uses easy to replace Cell Phone battery BL-5C used by many Nokia Cell Phones

Small and portable

Good sound and volume for the price

Uses a Mini USB Cable to charge and power it and it will charge while operating.

Since it uses a mini USB port for the charger it is easy to find a spare charger at just about any store just get one for a crack berry or a older Motorola Cell Phone like the famous Razor.

Has a line in jack and comes with the audio cable so you can use it with a non blue tooth audio device that has a standard 3.5mm head phone jack.

Cons:

No Audio Out Jack to allow hooking to a home stereo but for only 25 bucks you can't expect lots of extra features

Volume control on speaker is jumpy and not very gradual or precise

Does not get real real loud but it's much louder then most if not all built in speaker on tablets and cell phones.

No carrying pouch or case

The power button is a mechanical manual switch as apposed to a electronic button so it may wear out eventually plus when it's plugged into the USB Cable it is slightly blocked making it difficult to slide when charging.

It has no indication when the battery is getting low, no beeps every few minutes or LED changing colour based on the battery level.

The operating instructions are on the box and since most people throw out the boxes their products come most people will lose the instructions, it would be better if the instructions were on a piece of paper or in a instruction manual plus the instructions are very basic and don't have much detail.

So initially when I started looking for speakers for my phone I was surprised to come across this one and through reading the reviews and specs decided to try some in store speakers instead. Once those were a bust I came home and ordered these. Shipping was fast and when I opened the speaker up to try it out I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to pair my phone and how great the sound was. I mean for as tiny as this speaker is it sounds like I'm carrying around a whole stereo. Very happy I decided to go with this one instead and loved the price point!!!!

Actually it's the only $20 blutooth speaker on the market. I bought it to test my appetite for pricer options. It drove me to the Jawbone (good but not $200 good) and eventually the Supertooth Disco (I hope it's $114 good). Based on reviews here and online it should be.

That having been said I kept this one. Good for just having around as a cheap option for the pool, beach or room to room music.

ZipLinq AC Home Charger to USB Converter

I just wanted to pass along that this wonderful charger works with the iPhone 3G. It's very difficult to find an affordable third-party charger that is compatible with the iPhone 3G. I just had to return 2 chargers from another manufacturer that would display the charging icon on the iPhone for only 2 minutes and then revert to the "Plugged In" icon which signifies no charge is being provided. These chargers are very difficult to find as many sites don't even list them as Zip-Linq, they sometimes list them as a generic type of USB charger.

I thought it would be helpful to list the specs that Amazon doesn't that are on the back of the charger just in case you want to search for another charger with the correct power output:

Model No: ADC-320 series

Input: 100 240V AC, 0.2A, 50/60Hz

Output: 5.0V DC, 1.0A, 5.0W (Max)

I have been using this unit to operate a cooling fan for my stereo amplifier for over a year. (well, not continuosly) It has been working perfectly, and the price was extremely resonable.

DLO 002-0216 NanoTune FM Transmitter and Radio for iPod Nano

• All-in-one Nano accessory combines an FM Transmitter, an FM receiver, a headphone amplifier that boosts by over 25-percent, and a protective case
• Flip-up, clear plastic cover and housing protects your iPod from scratches and light knocks, while the built-in 30-pin connector lets you use it with your existing charger
• Wirelessly plays your Nano's music over any available FM radio in your car or home stereo, and will broadcast over any FM frequency from 88.1 to 107.9 MHz with a range of 10 feet
• FM receiver allows you to listen to the radio over your nano, and automatically pauses your music to play your favorite radio stations without losing your place
• Comes in a stylish black finish that complements your iPod Nano, and is backed by a manufacturer's 90-day warranty

This is the second FM transmitter I have bought for my car. First I owned the BELKIN, which I do not reccommend at all. It could not hold reception for anything. This one works great! I have a GMC Yukon with a stock radio. I was going to get a new radio, but if you are familiar with GM cars, you'll know that they need an additional $110.00 worth of wires, harnesses and dash kits to put in any aftermarket stereo. Add that to the "Brain" as they call it, you need to make your new stereo iPod compatible and it adds up quick. I just did not want to put $400-$600 into that right now.

The transmitter is great for fm reception too. I love love love that it has that clear little cover that keeps fingers and any surface at all off of my iPod. We all know how badly these things scratch!

My only nitpick's are that it really needs a armband or a pocketsnap. If I wanted to take it with me on a walk or to the gym (to use the fm radio part) I would have to stick it in my pocket or hold it.

Also, I would like it if the back was anti skid for when I set it down in my car. It really slides around, so I set it in the cupholder. Unless I have drinks, then I have to set it on the console where it it constanly skidding around and falling on the floor if I corner too fast. (Or if my husband is driving!)

Lastly, if you live in a area where it is hard to find a good clear station to use, try plugging your iPod earphones into it. This somehow helps clear up static if there is any.

I bought this from a local store and paid about $15.00 more plus tax. I should have bought it here.

I too have had problems with this, but was set to purchace another until I read the reviews here. I use it primarily for it's FM *reception* and not for broadcast abilities. There are LOTS of choices for *that*. I agree that it requires the earsets for broadcast transmission and of course you'd need them to receive FM (or you'd never know what you're not hearing!).

The unit worked flawlessly for over a year and then without incident it developed an issue with refusing to turn on. About one day in three or four it'll work. On the others it comes on then immediately shuts itself off. The other negative reviewers were not specific enough for me to determine if this was the same issue they were experiencing.

For now, I'll look for an alternative adapter for FM reception.

I bought one and when I first plugged it in was unimpressed. It was weak & full of static. Then I plugged in the headphones and was crystal clear. It needs them as an antennae. It also was unhappy when the ipod wasn't fully charged. It then died after a week so I returned it. Interesting idea but way too fragile. Now I need an new transmitter but they all seem to have problems.

The Nanotune is awesome and I loved that I could take it everywhere, but it died after the second week of having it. I have exchanged it once before since it died a week after, now it died again. I wish I can find the manual to get my money back. It won't last if you buy it. Get some thing that holds it in place. The velcro that came with it slipped right off and it kept falling all over my car when I slowly went over a speed bump. Do not buy!

Just stopped working... going to return... be careful with this one.

Schumacher PC-6 120AC to 6A 12V DC Power Converter

I originally bought a different brand, which lasted about 2 minutes before it burnt out serving a power load below its rated capacity. This one works and has not failed. It does get hot. And although you may think those ridges on the sides are metal heat sinks, they are just plastic decoration. The entire case is plastic, with just a few air holes. So if you can provide some airflow to help cool it, you should do so. I am using it to power a thermoelectric cooler, so I place it next to the cooler so the cooler fan blows on it. That helps.

Original Review -

This converter works fine and gave new life to an old car stereo in my grandparents garage. Yes, like the other reviewer mentioned, this adapter is only rated for 6 amps rather than 10, but the description has been fixed now. The converter doesn't run hot while in use and the green power LED is a nice touch. However, I think that the build quality could be somewhat better, the top and bottom of the casing is warped pretty noticeably.

Update -

About a year or so after I wrote this review, I replaced the incandescent lights in my grandparents garage with fluorescent lamps. Unfortunately, whenever I would turn on the new lights, the car radio that was being powered by this converter would pick up interference from the fluorescent lamps. It would completely overpower any FM or AM station, and could even be heard when playing a CD or when using the auxiliary input. It seems this converter has very poor or no filtering. I have since switched to a Pyramid PS15KX 10A 13.8-Volt Power Supply with Cigarette Lighter Adapter, which does a great job at filtering interference and outputs more power as well. However, considering the extra expense, bulk, and heat output the Pyramid offers, I would still recommend this converter to someone who will not be powering any devices that are susceptible to RF interference.

Wagan 400-Watt Power Dome Jump Starter with Built-In Air Compressor and LED Utility Light

Many useful features in this design: compact but capable and rugged. A recommended item for emergency power outages, and for general service where portable power is needed: starts dead car batteries, pumps tires, runs 120V tools, etc.

Two design shortcomings I hoped weren't there, keep it from 5 stars #1: it charges from either a wall-wart 12V adapter, or from a 12V cigarette lighter plug. I much prefer a direct 120V power cord connection versus the wall adapter variety. #2 shortcoming: it doesn't have a self float-charge cycle you must limit your charge times manually by unplugging it (battery damage if charged too long). Ach! Still, guess a person could attach his own float-charge unit instead of the supplied 12vdc adapter. But heck, Wagan, design that into it, like the better powerpacks have.

I dont like writing poor reviews and this is the first one I have ever written. My wife left the key on in her 2005 Stratus all night and ran down the battery. What an opertunity to show her my new Wagan power dome

Jump start in action. Freshly charged for 34 hrs and ready to go. Wrong!

Hooked it up, Hit the starter on the Dodge and all I got was click click click click. No start. What was wrong?? I checked it again, and again. Still nothing but clicking. The Power Dome was trying really hard but no luck. I got out my jumper cables and hooked them to my old 1994 chevy pick up and the Stratus took off Zoom Zoom, Zoom. No problem. To say the least I was shocked. The only thing I could think of was the cables on the Wagan are not strong enough to carry the load, I have read in other reviews complaints about the cable connectors. Some even have replaced them because of brakage. If any one has any sugestions what to do Im all ears. Sorry my review was not a good one.

I bought this jumper and fully charged it for a few days. When my car was dead I tried to jump it but apparently this Jumper didn't have enough juice. I then tried my older portable jumper and that was 2/3 charge and that was able to jump my car. I think this one didn't have enough amperage for my car since it was completely dead. This probably works well for most people because their cars aren't fully drained. However if your car is totally drained I would not completely rely on it.

I have only had this product for a couple of weeks and have already used it about 9 times. One of these was unbeleivable. Out at our gold claim we had a military truck with 700 gallons of fuel on board in three tanks. Each tank has a 12volt pump on it. We emptied two of these tanks using the Power Dome. Realizing that we had 12volt power on the truck we disconected the power dome and used the truck battery. in just a few minutes the truck battery depleated to the point of failing to run the pump or turn over the engine. The Power Dome had enough power to jump start the truck and still showed 80 percent of it's charge remaining. I bought another one.

BatteryMINDer 12 Volt Solar Charging System with 5 Watt Panel and Desulfator, Model# SCC005

The solar panel arrived in good condition and worked just fine as soon as I connected the wires. I set it up on a work bench to test it out and it has worked very well. The rested battery had 12.46 volts showing and began to rise right away. I have not been able to do a sunny day test because it has been overcast and raining everyday. If there is decent light out the solar panel can do it's thing and that is just what I want. I will have to wait to give a better sunny day report, but for now all is well. Sorry for the lack of sunny day detail. I plan to use the charger on my travel trailer to keep the battery up. I did try plugging in a power inverter to see if it would work with one attached to the battery while charging and it worked as well.

Satisfied with the purchase.

Would I recommend it: yes

Con: the delivery time was a bit long I thought, compared to other purchases but Amazon has spoiled me with other quick deliveries.

Had a BatteryMinder on the garage roof since 2009 keeping the battery of my show car Mercedes 450SL charged. It's been perfect for the job. When I put it up, it seemed to me better to be raised off the roof an inch, so I glued 4 solid rubber bumpers at the corners. No rain build-up, no leaves, etc.

We had a huge wind through here in July, 2010, which broke out the top of a 40' willow 30 feet from the Battery Minder, which didn't move at all.

I never take it down. Rain or snow or heat, it keeps working fine.

Purchased solar charger for the RV batteries, 2 6V Trojan T-105s. Easy to install. Working as it is described. Hoping to keep batteries in charged state while the vehicle is sitting idle. It is giving me peace of mind that my $200+ batteries are not deteriorating as I write this.

Clore JNC660 'Jump-N-Carry' 1,700 Peak Amp 12-Volt Jump Starter

If you can't start your car or truck with this thing, you have bigger problems than a dead battery! This unit is one of the most powerful portable battery jumpers out there at 1700 peak amps. That's almost twice as powerful as many other lower quality competitors.

This is not a "multi-purpose" unit that you will find at the local big box store. It's not an air compressor, radio, flashlight, food processor and battery jumper. It's only a battery jumper, although it does have a "cigarette-lighter" style socket to power other items if needed.

This is a great product, but consider this before you buy it: This model may not be for everyone. This is a professional grade item and is not intended to be used by people unfamiliar with proper battery jumping procedures. Here's why I say this:

1. Some battery jumping devices have a feature that will alert you if you hook the jumper cables up incorrectly. This unit has no such feature.

2. Some have safety switches that remove power to the cables while you are hooking them up. This unit has no such switch.

3. Some battery jumpers have sophisticated chargers that won't allow you to overcharge the battery. Not this one. When you plug it in to recharge it, you can't just walk away for 2 days and let it charge. You have to monitor it during the recharging process.

4. Some battery jumpers have a set of generic lights to tell you the current state of charge of the booster box. Not this one. It has a voltmeter on the front and you need to know how to read it.

Now, none of these items is THAT big of a deal, but I thought it was worth mentioning. If you aren't familiar with how to properly jump-start a car, you may be better off with another model with more "dummy-proof" features.

One last comment: This Jump n Carry comes with a redeemable certificate for a one-time replacement unit. If (for ANY reason) this unit stops working during its lifetime, you send it back to the company with the certificate (along with $50) and they will repair or replace it, no questions asked. Not a bad deal!

Bottom Line: If you need the most power in a single-purpose jumper box, buy this one!

Per the manufacturer, all of the JNC660's manufactured AFTER May 2010 now have an AUTO CHARGE feature that allows for you to plug the unit into charge and not have to monitor the charging process. This was a very big drawback of this unit prior as noted in one of the 5 star reviews from G.Powers [Looking for the most powerful battery jumper? Read on..., November 21, 2007] However, the other 'dummy proof' features are still not included in this unit (reverse hookup and turning off power to the cables during hookup)

excellent transaction!!! great battery boosters! no need for a separate transformer, the unit plugs directly into the wall!! Being the owner of a car dealership, we put these through the test, using them 10-15 times a day, we have had other makes in the past, but nothing lasts as long as these, plus they give you a $40 one time coupon in case anything breaks,wheather you did it ot not , they will give you a new one. no questions asked!!!

The Jump-N-Carry has suprised me with its terrific power output. Also, suprising is the fact that although it was charged 2 1/2 months ago, I have had not had to re-charge it. It continues to have a terrific charge of power available!

First off let me just say that this unit is a heck of a lot better than the ones in your box stores. I have a construction company so there is always something with a dead battery everyday. This unit works good for the first, second, and 'sometimes' third jump but that's usually it. After about 8 days of heavy use I can only get the unit to recharge to about 70%I may return it. My only other complaint is that when you are in a hurry and wrap the cables back up its very easy to slice into the cable with the handles.

RCA USBNL1R USB Home Nightlight Charger - White

The RCA USB HOME NIGHTLIGHT CHARGER is a wall plug nightlight and USB charger. It has a light sensor on the front so that it can determine how bright the nightlight should be. Overall, it's a rather large device for what it does. A couple of points here:

1. The USB charger works for all my iOS devices, including my iPad 2. But it doesn't support my Blackberry or my daughter's cell phone. I've seen this before with other USB chargers and I don't understand it. Isn't there a standard? Isn't it called Universal Serial Bus (USB) for a reason? UNIVERSAL? Since I don't understand why it doesn't work on my Blackberry, I can't ding the charger. But it's still frustrating.

2. The light was bright for about a week. Ever since, it has been very dim, despite the ambient light level. Covering the light sensor seems to have no effect. So either the sensor or the LED is faulty.

I can't really recommend this device since the light is far too dim to be useful. As I said, out of the package, it was very bright, but that was short-lived.

I was disappointed that the light on this went out after about 3 months of use. It still works as a charger, though. Until the light completely stopped working, it was a nice, little night light giving off just the right amount of light. Given the light's short life span, however, I would not recommend this product to anybody.

The product is functional and especially useful for travel so I am not sure why it is called a home device. Older hotel rooms often lack outlets to charge the many items we all travel with. I also travel with a night light which I often have to leave unplugged to charge a device however, with this nightlight charger the problem is solved. It covers only one plug and is reliable and easy to use. Of course the nightlight charger is functional and useful for your home as well.

In a normally lit room, one with sunlight coming in the window above the electrical outlet with the Nightlight Charger plugged in, the light in the sensor is on, In a room with overhead lighting, the sensor is on. The only time I have seen the sensor off during the day is when it was directly under a skylight, or if it is unplugged.

After 1 night of use, the device started blinking all the time in the dark instead of giving constant light.

What a shame! the Idea is good, execution is at the level of North Korea. Don't buy it.

Nissan LEAF Plug-In Residential EV Charger (Level 2 Plug-In EVSE-RS: 7.2kW, 30A)

Bosch is a well-known maker of good-quality tools. Their competing electric vehicle charger, model Power Max EL-51253, delivers the same 7.2 kW, has an 18 foot cable, and lists for $593.

Easy to install, I did it myself. Call their customer service if you need technical support. Works very well with Nissan leaf, since it is designed for Leaf. One or two hundreds dollars more, but I would say it worth it.

Works as stated. No working issues with my unit. Works with car. Only suggestion to AeroVironment Inc. is to make the locking holes better to feed larger locks to protect the unit (to lock unit to wall).

Car Charger for LG Enlighten VS700, Thrill 4G P925, Optimus 3D P920

It was exactly the charger I needed, and the price makes it even better as the local Verizon store wanted $25 for the same thing.

The other reviewer's charger had a blue light, mine is red and I prefer that any way.

The vendor exceeded my expectations by beating the delivery date by a whole entire day, they get 5 stars for service.

I was thrilled at the low price for this car charger. It works great. I appreciate the large, easily seen blue light that indicates it is securely plugged in.

When the charger came in, I thought it would be fine. It was a bit short, and felt a little on the flimsy side, but because of the price, I didn't have very high expectations. It worked fine for about two weeks and then wouldn't charge my phone anymore. It wasn't worth paying to send it back so I tossed it.

OEM Original Rapid Car Vehicle Auto Plug in Battery Charger for Virgin Mobile LG Optimus Slider - L

Actual LG brand charger, not generic. Cord is attached (which I like), not a removable USB cord. Power LED on charger lets you know if the device continues to draw power when the car is off (some cars turn the power port off, some do not).

I have 3 of these LG chargers, one in each of our cars. Members in my family all have similar phones and we can charge them with no problems. Its an important item to have in your car for saftey incase you break down and you dont have enough battery in your cell phone to make a call.
