HQRP Solar Charging KIT: 50W 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panel in Solid Aluminium Frame plus 10A Solar
I bought this kit in order to learn about solar power. The intent was to make a portable solar generator. Overall the individual pieces of the kit are "all right" but I should have just bought the solar panel and the charge controller separately. I have already found a better deal on the inverter at an automotive parts store, and the wire that came with the kit was thrown out for a higher gauge set that I had in the garage.The kit should have come with instructions to assemble the pieces together.
The MC4 cables ARE NOT INCLUDED! Out of the box, this kit is USELESS! I had to order the cables separately with no clue of which type of cable to buy. I took a big guess based on Amazon pictures.
Overall, the products are quality, but do your research and buy the parts individually.
Optima Batteries 8025-160 25 RedTop Starting Battery
- 12-Volt, 720 Cold Cranking Amps, Size: 10 5/16" x 6 13/16" x 7 5/8" tall, Weight: 39.5 pounds, SAE Posts
- Reserve capacity of 90 minutes for constant performance
- Optimal starting power even in bad weather
- Fifteen times more resistant to vibration for durability
- This item is not for sale in Catalina Island
......Works great right out of the box
......Battery was charged enough from the factory to get the car started right out of the box.
......Size and weight are very close to the OEM tC battery, It fit right in place with no mods. (Also, I do agree with the previous poster who said the terminal protector case would serve great as a booster to pick the battery up an inch or two. It's just a square piece of plastic)
As far as the shipping and packing by Amazon is concerned:
......First, I'll admit, I was concerned about the shipping based on what I read in the other reviews, but I know Amazon is on top of most problems pretty quickly and I was hoping they had addressed the packing issue by now. So I went ahead and ordered.
......Well, as soon as I opened it up, It was obvious they fixed the packing problem. It was packed VERY well. You can see in the pictures that the used chunks of cardboard pieces sandwiched between an inner and outer layer on all four sides. No cheap popcorn or anything.
......The battery arrived with no dents or scratches
......Never doubt Amazon, my son.
All and all....a great buy!
Buy Optima Batteries 8025-160 25 RedTop Starting Battery Now
I have owned several Optima Red and Yellow top batteries, and these are about as good as it gets. To get any better, you'd have to spend twice as much money.This was my first Optima battery purchase from Amazon. Order processing and shipping was first rate (as usual). The 'doorstep' price (with free super saver shipping) was better than any I found online or at a local retailerand I spent a lot of time researching my purchase beforehand.
Changing a car battery usually only takes a few minutes and a few wrenches or sockets, and I'm sure that as long as you choose the right size battery for your car it will work well. The application guide on the item page accurately included my vehicle.
I have to say that I had a little problem with my shipment arriving damaged, but Amazon stepped right up to the plate and hit a home run with their first-rate customer service. I was initially hesitant to purchase this because of the 'no returns on hazardous stuff' disclaimer, but rest assured that Amazon stands behind its products. And after my experience, I would strongly recommend Amazon for a car battery purchase.

I didn't realize what a straightforward way this was to get a battery for my Jeep Liberty. I was looking for a replacement for the original 5 year old battery and was pleased to find at the Optima Batteries web site they had one that fit my 2002 Jeep Liberty. I quickly found the battery on Amazon.com at a great price. The battery went right in my Jeep with a simple socket wrench. My local recycling guide pointed to somewhere to take the old one. The extra starting power is great.Want Optima Batteries 8025-160 25 RedTop Starting Battery Discount?

Kudo Solar Case with HDMI for iPad2 / iPad3 - Grey
As an original participant through the Kickstart program, I have used both the original LilyPad and the subsequent Kudo Pad. Because I received a copy before they went public, I have had mine for several months. My original color was this light gray, although I switched to the light blue for the second generation. Both are nice colors, but the gray is more neutral.Without the case, my normal usage on my heavily used iPad is only about 5 hours. As the pastor of three churches, my iPad IS my office, and I very much need it constantly. Prior to having the Kudo, I would have to have my iPad on a charger for much of the day.
My usage with the Kudo case varies, based on what I am doing, but it is always a minimum of 2 1/2 days. This includes about an hour of movie watching per day, and a significant number of hours doing research on the Internet, plus using Bluetooth accessories, and a few games of scrabble each day.
However, on a recent trip, I strictly used my iPad for audiobooks, about 12 hours per day. Since I didn't have WIFI, I had it on airplane mode. During the trip, it sat on the seat next to me, in the sunshine. After 2 1/2 days of travel, both iPad and case were still at 100%.
The good:
The case totally encloses the iPad. I have actually accidentally dropped my iPad on more than one occasion, and was very grateful for the case. It is a piece of armor!
The length of time it stays charged, especially when I have loads of sunshine
The fact that it charges my iPad while I use it
Very good magnetic cover works well
Made with recycled materials
If I have a cord along, I can use it to charge my iPhone.
The not so good
It is not an easy stand to deal with. OK for widescreen, not so good for reading
A bit heavy it doubles the weight of the iPad
After a few months of use, one of the legs broke
When the cover is closed, and you are using the iPad, it does not charge (or anytime it is locked)
So why do I give it five stars? Because I have found nothing better. It protects and charges my iPad without wires, and I never, ever, have to worry about it.
Every Sunday morning, I put my iPad into the case and travel to three churches keeping all of my notes in front of me. During this time I drive 80 miles and conduct services at three churches. At the end of that time my case is down by 25% and my iPad is at 100%.
While I enjoy my 5700mAh External Battery Power Bank 360 Degrees Rotating Stand Case Holder for NEW iPad, iPad 2 3G Tablet, and Ipad 3 Purple, the mere fact that it requires a cord to connect the battery in the cover to the iPad makes it a bit more difficult. Still, it is a cheaper alternative if the cord isn't an issue, and it doubles the life of my iPad. I use it at home on days when my usage is lighter, or when I want a classier look, since the Kudo is pretty basic.

As for only four stars....I started looking at the catalog and noticed a picture of the same panels (130 watt) but noticed the charge controller had a digital read out. If they really wanted to keep my buisiness they would put that on all panels and forget about a $50 coupon for a very limited selection of there own products! I didn't see that being sold but would have paid $50 more at least!? Marketing!?

Griffin iTrip Auto FM Transmitter and Auto Charger for iPod (Black)
- Combines a powerful FM transmitter with an integrated charger in order to recharge your iPod
- Transmits clear music through your car stereo
- Features selectable LX and DX modes for best-quality audio under real-world conditions
- Can operate anywhere from the 88.1 to 107.9 MHz frequencies; range of 10 to 30 feet
- Compatibility: iPod nano 1G, 2G, 3G; iPod mini; iPod 3G, 4G, 5G, 5.5G, 6G. Not compatible with: iPod Nano 4G and 5G and iPod Touch 2G and 3G
Before you buy, go to your car and make sure you can set your radio to 87.9 frequency or lower. If you can, they you can use this UNused setting. No US radio station is allowed to transmit on this frequency. If you can set your car radio to this, then BUY either the product on this page or the other Griffin iTrip (with the standard headphone connector). I have both, and they BOTH use the SAME instructions.
First, plug in the iTrip. You Have two buttons a larger +/button and a smaller button that will either have "Select" or "Preset" written on it.
Hold down the smaller button for 10-15 sec. At first the display will flash "2" or some other number. Ignore that. Just keep waiting. Then the display will flash "DX" or "LX". Use the +/to change to LX (non stereo mode). Press the smaller button and the selection is saved.
Now for International Mode (to get the stations below 88.1).
Hold down the smaller button for 10-15 sec. At first the display will flash "2" or some other number. Ignore that. Just keep waiting. Then the display will flash "DX" or "LX". IGNORE THIS ALSO, JUST KEEP HOLDING DOWN THE SMALL BUTTON. The display will change to "US" Use the +/to change to INTL mode. Press the smaller button and the selection is saved.
With my iTrip set to LX and INTL I now set both the car and the iTrip to 87.9. I use the iTrip instructions to save this as a preset. I also set one of the buttons on my car radio to the same.
When I use my iPod, the sound is crystal clear, I do NOT need to adjust the car radio to super-high volume. It is perfect. However, iTrip no longer comes with instructions to set to INTL mode, nor could I find these instructions on their website or on the web. So ... print this, get this and you will have a five star experience!
Buy Griffin iTrip Auto FM Transmitter and Auto Charger for iPod (Black) Now
Griffin has made a ton of these little FM transmitters for various generations of iPod, and this is the best one to date. It is still not perfect, though.Using a FM transmitter is the method of last resort. If your car has a tape deck, use a cassette adapter! The very newest car stereos have Bluetooth or even a line-in jack, even better. Save yourself a lot of frustration by using a direct connection, if possible. If you're considering a FM transmitter for home use, perhaps to connect to your stereo, don't. You'll be much happier with a real docking station.
That said, Griffin has made 3 huge improvements over their previous FM transmitters:
1) Plugs into the dock connector! No more volume hassles! The dock connector has a constant line-out volume level, and isn't affected by the volume dial setting of your iPod.
2) Instant on when car started, and auto-pause of iPod when car stopped. Other Griffin adapters had the nasty problem of needing to "warm up" before they would start working, but it seems Griffin has finally solved the problem here. And, as a nice bonus, it automatically pauses your iPod when powered off, so it remembers your place for next time!
3) Charges your iPod while in use! Another advantage of the dock connector is that it can charge your iPod from the unit's cigarette lighter connection. A real disadvantage of earlier FM transmitters is that they drained your iPod's battery like crazy, but this is solved by using your car's power instead.
The flipside of this is that the connector is wired to the LCD unit and then to the cigarette lighter plug. It isn't a standalone wireless unit. If you like to set up your iPod somewhere in your car where wires would get in the way, this could be a problem.
Now, some disadvantages:
1) FM transmitter power is very, very weak. It's a game of inches. Griffin claims they are hamstrung by FCC regulations, but even legal Part 15 devices are allowed to transmit for a few dozen feet or so! Griffin really needs to crank up the power to the maximum allowed by law. Now that they are powered by cigarette lighter power, instead of iPod battery power, there's no excuse anymore to use an underpowered transmitter.
2) Transmitted volume is very, very soft. You have to crank up your car radio up all the way, causing hiss in the background, and blown speakers if you forget to turn it back down before changing the radio channel! Griffin doesn't modulate the FM signal enough. Compared to other stations on the FM dial, the iPod volume is much too low.
This is an especially bad double whammy: not only is the transmitted FM signal too weak, it's also too quiet!
Don't forget about the 87.9 frequency. Contrary to Griffin's belief, this is still a legal frequency in the USA, even though it's right on the edge of the dial. Griffin doesn't allow you to use this frequency, though, unless you put the unit in "International" mode! So, remember to do this first, before you throw away the manual and forget how to do it. 87.9 is clear in many areas that don't have a TV channel 6, so this is usually the best choice for these FM transmitters!
Now, if only Griffin would boost their radio power, they'd have the perfect device....

This is one of three Griffin iTrip adapters I have, it is probably the most convenient to use. The FCC requirements on these things limit the transmit power to something that is barely able to reach the car radio, but if you don't set this one to the higher power mode you'll be lucky to hear anything at all. I find more variation between vehicles than you might expect, I travel quite a bit and have used this in rental cars all over the US, Canada and the UK. It is especially useful that this can tune by 0.1MHz intervals which helps find a vacant frequency in other countries (where these may be illegal, as they are in the UK). Sound quality is usually OK, but if you find the noise level increasing you are probably conflicting with a local FM station and it's time to retune. The cassette interfaces provide much cleaner audio, but with more wires and sometimes with mechanical noise. This is in my travel kit now and I don't think there is a reasonable alternative.Want Griffin iTrip Auto FM Transmitter and Auto Charger for iPod (Black) Discount?
This device works exactly as advertised: it charges your iPod and broadcasts the audio on an FM frequency at low power. If you have no other way to use your iPod in your car (cassette adapter, line in, etc) this is a good choice, especially at Amazon's price. The sound quality isn't fabulous, but it's as good as normal FM reception.However, you need to be aware that this product works inconsistently between cars. I've had good luck with the iTrip in some cars (mostly American made rental cars), but couldn't get it to work in some other cars (like my Infiniti). Before you buy, I suggest that you take a look at the Griffin Technology web site to see if other users have gotten this to work in your car.

It's hard to understand how so many can find the iTrip so wonderful and some of us can find it so terrible. Either there is some significant variability in the manufacturing of the product or the location and design of the FM radio antenna in some cars is the problem. In any case, the signal from the unit I received was so weak that there was noticeable static regardless of where I placed the transmitter and how I positioned the cable. It didn't matter which station I chose they were all bad. Worse, even when it was stationary the static hiss would increase, decrease, increase and so on. Also, as others have mentioned in reviews, the audio was considerably quieter than the car's built-in components.Nice idea, but I second the review that voted for a stronger transmission signal. With Amazon's easy return process, and given the ratio of positive to negative reviews, you may want to give it a shot. But it's a shot in the dark.

So I decided to go with a higher quality trans. that would last longer and work better. This trans. actually didn't work nearly as well as the cheap one! When I say cheap, I mean I got it for 5 dolls. on amazon, new!
In order to hear the station I would have to turn up my cars volume almost all the way up, and even then there was always some static in the back ground. Every now and again it would work fine, at high volumes, but not very often. Don't waste your money on this one, there are better ones you can get for less money.

I wanted to start using my HTC EVO phone with Pandora and my stored MP3s. I thought that this would be a good item to use to transmit FM signals to my radio to hear the music.Item arrived in the mail and I opened it and was happy to see that it felt like it was made of high quality plastic. Went out to my car and plugged it in and the little screen showed 88.9, the same as I use for my Sirius radio. Plugged in my EVO with Pandora playing music and turned on the radio. Nothing...... Static. Tried several different channels on the transmitter and the radio. All the channels where just static. So I am very disappointed that this transmitter doesn't work. So don't waste your time and money on this item.....

Bosch BC130 9-3/5-to-24-Volt Stick and Pod Style 30-Minute Battery Charger
- Quick charges - Keeps you supplied with charged batteries in 30 minutes or less
- Microprocessor measures internal battery temperatures to optimize energy flow and maximizes battery charge capacity
- Charges 9.6-Volt to 24-Volt
- New charging indicator with 2 LEDs is easy to read and provides instant charging status
An Internet search suggests that the Bosch BC130 has a ridiculously short lifespan and those of us that have braved opening the case discovered that R3 was burnt to a crisp and the color codes unreadable. Some of the reviews here on Amazon might also suggest that Bosch has made no attempt to correct an obvious design flaw because the new chargers fail just as fast; and good luck finding a schematic on their web site! This tells me Bosch is not taking care of their customers, shame on them!
Having a background in electronics is a pretty handy skill to have and one that has carried me well throughout the years. Fortunately, you don't need to be a electronics wiz to attempt to repair this charger, just a little patience, soldering tools (iron, solder, wick), and a new 180k Ohm resistor. Hence the title of this review: R3 = Brown Gray Yellow Silver = 180k Ohms +/10%.
Since this is supposed to be a review I won't go into detail on how to repair the charger since I've already given enough information for those that know what to do with it. I also can't guarantee that replacing R3 will fix it since I haven't tried yet. I have two possible theories as to why R3 burns up, either it's undersized (R3 appears to be 1/2 watt, I recommend buying a 1-watt +/5%), or something else went wrong in the circuitry such as a voltage regulator. Whatever the case, I have a lot of home projects to do this Summer and won't get around to fixing my old charger for some time. If someone uses this information to successfully repair their charger it is my hope that they leave a comment so that others can benefit.
Btw, R3 sits between two very large electrolytic caps. You WILL want to SAFELY DISCHARGE them before doing any work on the unit because they can give you quite a jolt. You have been warned!
As for the quality of the BC130 I can honestly say that my original lasted less than three years and I am disappointed about that. In contrast, the Bosch replaced a Craftsman cordless drill that served me well for over 12-years. The BC130's construction, the quality of the circuit board and components appears to be very high, it's just too bad they don't last.
I own several Bosch power tools most of them corded and they are absolutely outstanding products! However, based on my experience with the BC130 I will look elsewhere for my cordless tools from this point forward.

The sound quality and features are the same as the 760s as far as I can tell, so these match up very well if you're adding to another set. The display is a touch larger than last years models though and there has been a slight resdesign on the charger from the 760s though. Not sure why. These charge via connections on the bottom of the radios, vs the rear of the unit on older models. What the means is when you put them in the charger, they lock in place in order to charge via small clips on either side. It makes removing them with one hand a bit challenging, but I've found if you rock it to one side, it pops right out.
They are compatible with other Midlands and the range and sound quality is excellent. I feel they've increased the sound volume since the 760 series, and these deliver as well. I have an older 600 series set as well, and both these and the 760s, due to the longer antennas can absolutely receive and transmit further without breaking up and are much easier to hear. Our primary use is around ski resorts and when snowmobiling around our home. And yes, we are likely one of the few that purchase the GMRS license for the family as required to legally operate on the GMRS only channels.
I liked these so much I ordered another set to replace the aging 600 series. For the price, you absolutely cannot beat these.
1/11/13 Update: Unfortunately, I've exchanged the second set I've ordered twice. Maybe I'm a bit picky, but the two sets I've received so far have had screens that have been difficult to read unless you're looking up at it from and angle of the radio being tipped back and away from you. My first set doesn't have this effect. Had I not already had a set, I would have not known that there are differences, so really not a huge deal. I still consider these very good radios on their price point.I had purchased these reading some good reviews. I did not need a super nice set but i wanted a good decent set of radios. I also liked the fact that headsets were included, which was a selling point for me. I bought these mainly because I am always running a machine around my property, and there is not much cell reception and i would not be able to hear my phone if it was ringing, and if the wife needed to get ahold of me she would be able to, without having to track me down and throwing a baseball or rock at me just to get my attention. ANYWAY these work but only are good for about 1/2 mile I tested them also in the winter so the leaves were down I live in the wood and not on a farm so it is very wooded and not so flat. I hope my experience will help someone when making a choice I WOULD NOT BUY these again. i would spend a little more time and money on a better set. But these are not garbage either, and do work well within the range of 1/2 mile. I am sure you could get a better range on a flat open surface. Also i did clock the milage so I am sure of the 1/2 mile.The promised range is 30 miles. We are lucky to get over a mile. One of the receivers needs to be recharged frequently.

Campbell Hausfeld CC 2300 Portable Inflator
The battery croaked after 5 years. I just bought the same thing again.It will probably last longer if you follow the instructions. It's apparently a lead-acid battery and should always be recharged before it gets too low, which I did not do.
According to the manual, the battery has enough juice to completely inflate 8 car tires or run an 8 watt TV for 14 hours. Max output is 15 amps @ 12 volts.
Shop around. An orange logo home improvement place sells these for a good price.
PROs:
The CC2300 is perfect for tires.
The built-in pressure gauge and clip-on inflation hose make tire inflation a breeze.
You're going to waste money on gas unless maintaining your tire pressure is real fast and easy. This unit makes it real fast and easy.
It's compact. It has little compartments for all the accessories (charger, hose, 12 volt cord, extra fuse, etc.)
The switches and indicator lights are clear, sensible and ergonomic. The handle, and everything about it is to like.
The cigarette lighter socket lets you use it as a 12 volt power supply, and also lets you recharge the unit from your car's cigarette lighter. (I never used these features.)
CONs:
It has very low air volume for air mattresses or large beach toys. I wish they had doubled the air volume and maxed the pressure at 115 PSI instead of 230 PSI.
The pressure gauge reads about 4 lbs too high. Need to compensate.
It's "household quality" not industrial quality. One of the little compartment covers broke the first day I had it.
Strangely, you are not supposed to use it while plugged in to 110 volt AC.
The build quality of the unit is satisfactory. Everything is clearly labeled and the instructions are brief but clear. The hose and accessories fit tightly in the compartments provided and there isn't room for anything else in there.
I charged it overnight, hooked the air hose to my car tire and turned it on. It is pretty noisy and the air fills rather slowly but then this isn't an expensive compressor so I don't think it is realistic to expect anything more. It took about 30 seconds to add two pounds of air. The air hose made a tight clamp on the tire valve and the embedded tire gauge is adequate although it is best to use a more detailed gauge since the supplied one does not have marks for each pound of pressure, only in increments of 10 pounds. I noticed that the reading per the embedded gauge matched my separate tire gauge, however (which is also made by Cambell Hausfeld so maybe they're in cahoots with each other).
All in all, so far I am glad I bought this because it is much easier to add air in my garage instead of driving to the station. I just hope this thing lasts, which based on how it has performed so far, it should do the job for a while.
Note: I am adding this on July 31 after having used the unit for a while. It still works like I wrote above, but I find that it doesn't take that long for the yellow indicator light to come on telling you it needs to be recharged again. I'd say it lasts long enough to check the tires on two cars as long as none of the tires needs a lot of air (like maybe 2-3 lbs per tire at the most). However, you can always plug it into the cigarette lighter and use it and then you don't have to worry about the battery drain.
Well now I am adding something again on September 30. I've found this unit really does not keep a charge very long at all and the yellow light comes on before you can even finish with the 1st tire. If you plug it into the cigarette lighter outlet then it works fine (make sure the motor is running so you don't drain the battery) but otherwise, don't depend on this to provide air in the case of an emergency.
Buy Campbell Hausfeld CC 2300 Portable Inflator Now
Purchased to replace portable air tank. I used it three times [two bicycle tires and partial inflation of car tire to 36 psi] over a period of approximately six months.Attempted to inflate a water device and battery indicator was 'Low' after 3-5 minutes. After charging for four days, it still reads 'Low' and strange noises coming from the case but not enough air to inflate volleyball!

I bought this 4 months ago to replace a Campbell Hausfeld air compressor with almost 20 years of service. My old compressor used 12V DC current only (cigarette lighter)and this one has a built in battery. The battery is of little use to me because it won't hold a decent charge; it never really has despite charging according to directions. I charged it overnight for use this morning. The charge inflated the tire from 19 psi to 23 psi before going dead.....4 measly pounds on a "fully" charged battery. The tire size is 235 65 17, so not a small tire by any means, but 4 pounds?? I used the cigarette lighter cord to finish the inflation to 32 psi.Sturdy construction, adequate length hose to reach valve stems at their highest point, fairly quick inflation compared to my old compressor. Storage area for cords WAY too small, expect to do some serious stuffing to fit these back into the storage space once they're unraveled....or you may even give up after a few minutes.
This is perfect for bicycle tires using only the internal battery. But, expect to use the cigarette lighter cord if you plan on inflating auto tires.
It's just frustrating when you expect a product to perform as you thought was advertised. Except for the small storage space, I would have absolutely no complaints on this product if it DIDN'T have the internal battery to begin with. But since it does, it should at least hold a charge enough to inflate a set of tires that are each a few pounds low. Ok, even 2 tires each a few pounds low would be borderline acceptable....but a single tire 4 pounds on a "fully" charged battery....not acceptable.

I have had two of these. The first overheated and burned out. The 2nd one when fairly new somehow jammed the piston at exact top and wouldn't turn. It kept blowing fuses. I took apart and moved by hand but when put back together it couldn't get pressure over 30 lbs. The air volume is very low too. I'm now shopping for a 110 volt unit with more air volume.Save 58% Off

- 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

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.Want DLO 002-0216 NanoTune FM Transmitter and Radio for iPod Nano Discount?
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!
12V Police Motorcycle
Bought this for my 2.5 year old. He is crazy about motorcycles.Although it has 3 wheels, the little guy falls over on it a lot. My 4 year old does pretty good on it but he falls over sometimes too. As long as you have some straight away real estate to work with it is good. Transitioning from the sidewalk to the grass is an adventure. Any kind of elevation drop makes the bike unstable.
I had to remove the windshield because the kids kept hitting their face on it when they would start and then stop.
The bike runs well. Pretty good speed in hi.
Battery lasts for a good while. The sirens can get annoying as the kids tend to not turn them off.
Careful with installing the mirrors. The screws will break through the plastic clamps. Recommend doing those without a drill and not torquing them too much at all.

This motorcycle was my twin sons' dream. However, it has been nothing but a nightmare since it has arrived. Assembly was difficult and design inferior. The high gear and battery have ne.ver worked properly. The suggested age is up to 7, but my 5 year olds are way too big for it. Do yourselves a favor and skip it!Want 12V Police Motorcycle Discount?
First off I bought two of these for my twins on Dec 5 2012 from seller Amazon LLC. I finally received my package on December 20th. The problem was that Amazon only sent me one but was happy to charge me for two. Customer service was nice and issued refund but obviously didn't care about the fact they just ruined Christmas for two 5 year olds that only asked for this one gift. I want to thank QVC who was able to order, ship and deliver by Dec 24th.My kids woke up Christmas Day to two motorcycles and loved them.
The only problem I have had so far is that my daughter crashed and hi-speed forward didn't work thereafter. I quickly figured out that it blew out the fuse. I replaced it and she was off chasing bad guys again.

After looking at dozens of jump start/battery backups for an upcoming Jeep trip, I decided on this one. It's size and amp-hour capacity seemed perfect. After receiving it I looked for the wall charger and there was none in the box, so I (yup I did) went to the instructions. Instead of a wall-wart style charger this unit has a male two-prong outlet on the back that you plug your own extension cord into, then charge from a 110V AC wall outlet. This renders this model incapable of being charged on the road from a solar panel or vehicle without using an inverter. Also found out that Amazon won't take it back, since it's classified 'hazardous'. They took my money and sure shipped it to me though....Read Best Reviews of Energizer 84021 12V 200 Ca Jump-Start System Here

This is a great jump box, I bought it for my daughter's school as some peoples batteries were dying when waiting to pick up the kids. It is easy to use, is a perfect size, and the cables are plenty long enough to get the job done easily.I like the fact that the jump box doesn't use an AC adapter to charge it, as these are easily lost, instead you can use any 2 or 3 prong extension cord, however this is not included so be prepared to buy one if you don't already own one. I picked one up at the local grocery store for 2 bucks, not a big deal.
