Rayovac Sportsman Xtreme 3AA-size, 3 Watt Led Headlight Review

Average Reviews:
4.7 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I have wasted money buying many other LED headlamps, starting with those little LED that looks good on the package but in the middle of darkness, it will let you down. (finding yourself returning it the next afternoon). Not this Rayovac headlamp, you don't need to have 20 little LEDs on your head, you just need one that lights up half of your backyard. I gave one to a friend who spent a few months in Africa and she said it worked just fine. It is best using rechargeable batteries, and the battery compartment can be a little tight for some rechargeable. (works fine with Sanyo's Eneloop rechargeable batteries). It has 3 settings for the headlamp brightness, from the highest (for walking, or biking) or lowest (reading a book at night), or you can have it blinking, the back of the battery compartment has a nice little red LED which can be set to stay on or blinking. Good for biking or even camping at night (so you can see where your partner is). If you're going to spend time far away from fresh batteries, buy a "AA Battery Solar Panel Charger" from Powerfilm to charge your AA batteries during the day so you won't be in the dark at night. My friend & I use ours to paint her rental property's fence. The weather was too hot to paint during the day (105F+), we were able to paint the whole fence in comfort. Buy one of this for your home, and another one for your car, you will be glad you did.

Light and Motion Light & Motion Stella 200L Li-ion LED Light Review

Average Reviews:
3.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I was undecided between a NiteRider light and a Light & Motion light.I made the decision to go with the Stella 200L.It is a pretty good light but I would not buy it again.Not only is the handlebar mount sketchy but the cord from the light to the battery is about 10X the lenghth it needs to be for a handlebar mount.This requires some creative wrapping and it does nothing to reduce the already significant weight.

To top it off when I contacted Light & Motion hoping that they might make a short cord for a handlebar mount they told me tough luck and if I wanted a shorter cord I should have bought a 150L light.Nice.That's not the kind of customer service that will get me to buy another Light & Motion product.

Product Description:
There isn't any difference in the light quality or burn time between the Stella 200L and the Stella 200N. They both have the same features as well - with multiple output settings and variable mounting options across the board. The "N," however, denotes a difference in the battery being used, with a 6-cell NiMH unit replacing the Li-ion one found on the "L" model. Features: Includes tool-free handlebar and helmet mounts. Multi-sport head strap compatible. Convenient overnight charge time. Multiple output settings. Includes trickle charger

Zero X Electric Motorcycle Review

Average Reviews:
4.9 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)Bought my Zero summer 2008, put close to 600 miles on it before the snow hit. Have taken it everywhere you would take a motorcycle in the hills of Western Montana. Since I'm the only Zero in the woods around here, rode with a lot of motorcycles, in the woods the Zero blew them away due to its agility and quickness.
Used it during hunting season, for hunting the Zero is deadly quiet....eliminated several coyotes who tried to figure out what a Zero was.
The electric features have been talked about, but what's really special about the Zero is its forgiving nature. It has a level power band which means you can move at a crawl and then punch it without the usual lag, associated with motorcycles even new 4 strokes...Did more sightseeing with this bike because just riding it is addictive. This bike lets you completely forget about managing your motor and enjoy the ride.
Really, comparing the Zero to a motorcycle isn't fair......to the motorcycle that is.

Product Description:
A full-sized, high-performance electric motorcycle, the Zero X is built from the ground up using revolutionary electric motorcycle technology. Boasting 50 pounds of torque, the proprietary Z-Force drive train supplies the raw power needed to stealthily race up hills, fly over jumps, and plunge through streams. Elimination of combustion noise makes aggressive riding possible without the disruption of nature or neighbors. The Z-Force drive train and specially-engineered, aircraft-grade aluminum frame combine to form a motorcycle that is fast, light, and clean. An exceptional power-to-weight ratio and spontaneous acceleration make the Zero X stand out in the dirt.
Frame
Welded by hand by highly-skilled aluminum welders, the Zero X features double pass welds in critical areas and other techniques to ensure against failures. After welding, the entire frame is heat treated to restore the strength around the weld areas. The heat treatment process involves heating the frame in a furnace and then solution-bath quenching the hot metal. Finally, critical areas such as pivots, brake mounts, and chain-guide mounts are re-milled for absolute accuracy.

Motor and Energy

The Fast Charger will fully recharge your battery in less than two hours.

The power packs deliver 300 amps of current without overheating, offering a strong power-to-weight ratio.

Zero's magnet electric motor delivers over 20 horsepower and requires very little maintenance. Zero only uses safe second-generation lithium ion cells to ensure against thermal runaway (fire). The power packs also feature an intelligent monitoring system that constantly tracks the voltage and temperature of each and every cell. Additionally, the power packs deliver 300 amps of current without overheating, offering a strong power-to-weight ratio. Zero's permanent magnet electric motor delivers over 20 horsepower and requires very little maintenance.
Drivetrain
To accommodate the Zero X's increased traction and ability to accelerate in the dirt a hardened steel 420 chain and direct drive gearing are used. The result is a stronger and more durable drivetrain that puts the power from the throttle directly into the dirt.

Suspension
The Zero suspension system is tough enough to handle monstrous jumps and includes custom-built, fully-adjustable hydraulic front forks. The rear suspension is a unique double diamond swingarm and adjustable coil-spring rear shock.
Handling
To take full advantage of the Zero X's spontaneous acceleration,the handling was refined based on the comments of pro riders. The result is that this electric dirt bike provides the control you need for quick handling in tight situations.

Brakes

Instrument Panel and System Upgrades
A quick look at the instrument panel tells you everything you need to know on the Zero X. All the important dials and switches are centrally located. The accompanying wiring system is also designed for increased safety and electrical system longevity. The Zero X also comes with a keyed ignition.

Rear Wheel and Tire
The Zero X comes with a beefy wheel setup on the rear for increased traction and durability. This means quicker acceleration, faster hill climbs, and more fun.

Speed Controller
The ZERO X Speed Controller features the ability to customize both the speed and acceleration. With a flip of the switch you can limit the top speed to a motorized bicycle legal limit of 30 miles per hour. Another switch sets the acceleration from beginner-friendly "easy" mode to a wheelie poppin' "sport" mode.
Specifications:

Zero X and the Environment
The Zero X includes a Fast Charger that is automatic and will fully recharge your battery in less than 2 hours. The charger plugs into any standard 110 or 220 volt outlet. It is fully sealed, vibration-proof, and waterproof. A Zero motorcycle will produce less than one-tenth the pollution at the power plant than a gas powered motorcycle.
Zero uses a revolutionary lithium-ion technology that is non-toxic. The Zero power pack does not contain toxic metals such as cobalt, nickel, lead, or mercury. They are rated for land-fill disposal in the US, Canada, and Europe are also completely recyclable.
Zero's permanent magnet electric motor delivers over 20 horsepower and requires very little maintenance. The motor uses considerably less steel and copper of other DC motors and delivers a strong power-to-size ratio.
Age Recommendation
Zero Motorcycles recommends that riders be of legal driving age (16 years) or older and that they have an M1 license.
Important Safety Information
This is a high-performance motorcycle and should be treated with extreme caution. Proper safety gear including a helmet, riding boots, gloves, and protective clothing should be worn while riding to reduce the risk of potential injury.
Full-height riding boots are strongly recommended, as the vast majority of injuries are leg and foot injuries.
Never carry a passenger. This motorcycle is designed for an operator only.
Prior to each use, the rider must check the tire pressure, brakes, and power pack function.
Never use alcohol or drugs before operating a Zero Motorcycle.
Minors without adult supervision should not use this product.

Assembly Information
Assembly is estimated to take less than 30 minutes. The Zero X arrives securely packed within a specially designed motorcycle box and the power pack accompanies the Zero X in a separate box. Upon arrival you remove the motorcycle from the box, install the front and rear wheels, connect one set of wires, then slide in and connect the power pack. After that, you can insert your key, flip a switch, and you're ready to ride.

CYMA 030 Electric Airsoft Pistol Semi/Full Auto AEP 300 fps Metal Gear Box Review

Average Reviews:
3.3 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)Against Mid- to high-grade rifles, this gun makes a fine sidearm. Compared to guns that you might buy at Dick's Sporting Goods at similar prices, however, this is a beast.If you don't want a long review, skip ahead now. Don't say I din;t warn you.
Structure
I purchased my g18c for about $50 plus 1 $20 cyma-brand high-cap. The gun itself looked and felt like a million bucks- it was heavy for the pistol weight I was used to, but this in no way hampered my use of it, one- or two-handed. The main body of the gun was made of solid plastic which felt perfectly solid and comfortable to grip. If it was dropped from four feet onto concrete, it would probably have a big scratch, but not have any serious damage (don't test me on that XD). If it was dropped onto soil, I wouldn't imagine it being damaged at all. The upper barrel and trigger were metal, which weren't particularly shiny, so they blended in with the rest of the gun quite well. To remove to upper barrel, there was a little button on the back of the pistol where the hammer would be on a different model pistol. Pushing it would release the upper barrel, revealing the slot for the battery. Unfortunately, the battery is shaped much differently from the average battery, you there isn't much you can do for it along the lines of upgrading or smart chargers. To remove the battery once inserted, there was a level to the side which you could press to eject the battery. I would use a little care when doing this, however, as I once ejected it too harshly, breaking the top of the battery off, which was a pain to deal with. In addition, you should be careful not to charge the battery more than two hours per charge, aside from the very first charge. I overcharged mine constantly, causing the battery life to dwindle down to a few days, even when it wasn't being used. The magazine was perfect- it holds about 29 BBs, is made of metal, therefore weighing about one-third of what the gun weighs, and has NO PROBLEMS. No fractures, no over-powerful springs, nada. The plastic high-cap, however, isn't as reliable. At first, mine worked okay. But it didn't take long before I couldn't load more than about 30 BB before the spring would shoot them straight out of the magazine as soon as I removed my speed loader from the cap. Thinking it was just a chance defect, I ordered another, only to find it had the same problem. I even removed one of the two connected springs in the magazine, but that still didn't help. Overall, I would not recommend buying the Cyma-brand high-cap magazine.

Performance (what you actually care about)
The fps using high-grade .2g BBs (you should only use high-grade BBs in this, in case you didn't know) is about 220-250. The ROF for this is spectacular compared to other guns of the same price, being between around 11rps by my estimates, beating even the $100 Pulse R72 that my friends use, as well as perhaps my $125 CM030a M14 Socom. The downside of this is that it burns through a 28-round magazine like wild fire. Soon after buying and using this gun, you learn to keep it on semi-auto and only use full auto when you have a perfect shot. As far as range goes, once the hop-up is dial correctly, I'd say you could get a hit on a man-sized target in one shot at about 80 feet every time. It still works well at 90-110 feet on semi auto, and can go another 20 or so feet on full auto (though that isn't recommended, as stated above). Like any pistol, it doesn't have a stock, so it's less stable when being fired than a rifle, but is much smaller, letting it excel in close quarters.
This means that, compared to other $50 LPEGs like Double Eagle's M85, its effective range is a force to be reckoned with. Against higher quality guns on the lower spectrum of effective ranger, it will still get you as close as you need to be to get a hit. Compared to the average higher-quality gun, such as an M4 clone, however, the range doesn't quite cut it, especially if you're using full-auto (my field has restrictions on auto using more powerful guns, so I didn't have to worry about that), so this is best used as a sidearm, especially if you're a sniper.The areas where the CYMA G18C trumps an M4 clone, on the other hand, are CQB, and, of course, price. As stated above, this pistol was really designed for close quarters battles, where its high ROF and compactness give it an edge over even the best AEG.

Final Comments and Pros/Cons
I've had this gun for about 8 months, put more rounds through it than I care to count, and the only flaw it has so far is that it double-fires about half of the time (that problem didn't arise for a while; by then I had a new gun). When it does misfire, one BB goes about three-fifths as far as it should, while the other goes about two-fifths as far as it should, making it a blessing in disguise for close quarters, but not so much at long ranges. Besides that, the gun and standard metal magazine still work and look like a charm. The only other complaint I have is the problem with the plastic high-cap mag, as stated above. According to other reviews I've read from people who have done so themselves, the gun is upgradable and compatible with Tokyo Marui parts, though it can be a pain to reassemble after being taken apart. So pros and cons:
Pros
Solid
Range (for $50)
FPS (for $50)
ROF (period)
Upgradable (according to other people)
CHEAP!
weight (feels nice n solid :P)
Compact

Cons
Build (If you need some kind of full-metal industrial strength gun that can survive being run over by a tank on a unicycle, this isn't the gun for you)
ROF (for those of you that need obnoxious amounts of BBs being shot every second)
FPS (for those of you that need more than just 230)
Range (for those of you that need the kind of range that only a higher quality gun can grant)
No stock
Low capacity

For a $50 gun, I couldn't give this anything but a 5/5. However, some may want to use this in battles against bigger guns, so for this, I give it a 3/5 as a primary arm, a 4/5 as a sidearm, and 4.5/5 for purely CQB. To anyone that uses it, though, I would highly recommend spare magazines, though not CYMA's high-caps.

(More customer reviews)At this price point (less than 100.00), this light is amazing. Super bright, (110 lumens), amazingly lite weight. I use it for riding my mountain bike on the local trials at night and it is fantastic. You could pay alot more money for dual lights, longer ride times/battery life etc., but for my uncomplicated two-three hour night night rides I could not be more satisfied. For a fantastic light less 100.00 this is the light to buy.

Maglite RX3019 Heavy-Duty Rechargeable Flashlight System, Black Review

Average Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I purchased my first Mag-Lite rechargable flashlight back in 1983 when they were first introduced.I still use that same flashlight on an almost daily basis on our farm.

My wife has had one for five years, and I have given numerous ones to friends and relatives over the years.The current light is basically the same unit as I purchased 22 years ago.

Over the years my light has been dropped from trucks, tractors, (one time it flew off the back of my motorcycle at 30mph), and it still works great.Obviously, I've gone through a number of consumables (bulbs, lens's and batteries).

Plan on replacing the battery pack every 3 - 4 years (I think I'm on my 6th pack).

Overall it's an excellent product and extremely well engineered and manufactured.

(More customer reviews)This gun is tight! i just got it friday and I did paintballing all day on saturday and its worked great! The auto is really nice, and i also like the three shot burst. I only had one ball chop but besides that, it's practically flawless. One thing i reccomend doing is getting an electric hopper for it so it can keep up up with the auto or else you balls will chop. I have one so this is not a problem for me. I also reccomend getting a recharable battery and recharger for it, its a lot better than buying new batteries every time. This is a great price for this gun. If your thinking about buying it, buy it!

Precor EFX 5.25 Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer Review

Average Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)As a person for whom hip replacement surgery is inevitable, this elliptical trainer is a huge blessing. Precor's EFX 5.25 Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer is a sophisticated and attractive example of next generation home fitness equipment. It's so well built that it may be the last piece of fitness equipment we will ever need. Its attractive design is appealing and I find that I don't mind looking at it as it dominates the space I've dedicated to exercising.

The delivery of this machine involved a freight carrier. Those with non-traditional driveways like mine (low hanging branches and a gravel drive, making it impossible for the semi or a pallet jack to navigate) will need to plan in advance. As the freight company called a day before delivery, I was able to make sure that a pick-up truck was available. This allowed the driver to easily transfer the box from the back of the semi into the back of the pickup. After positioning the cargo closer to the house with the pickup, it was a simple matter of opening the box and carrying the equipment into the house piece by piece. It would be best if you had 2 strong and able people to carry the body of the Crosstrainer as it does not come with wheels and must be carried in one piece. (The freight weight of this equipment was over 240 pounds.)

After reading the enclosed instructions, my husband felt that assembling the machine wouldn't be a major challenge. It took him, and our 15 year old daughter, about 2 hours to put it together. While a single (strong) person could likely do the job, having a second available to hold things in place while they are bolted together makes the job much easier and faster. Precor furnishes the tools required for assembly (see the uploaded photo under "customer images") but we found that you also really need a socket wrench with an extension. It should be noted that one should not plug this equipment into a power strip or extension cord.The manual specifically requires a "properly grounded outlet" otherwise the user runs the risk of voiding the warranty.This machine draws 120V and should be properly installed most importantly for the sake of safety.

(Incidentally, before deciding to assemble the machine ourselves, I did contact Precor as well as their designated installer for our area to schedule an appointment. The representatives of both companies were extremely helpful and professional and I had no reservations about using their assistance had it been necessary.)

The 5.25 is one of the smaller in-home Crosstrainers that Precor engineers. It's extremely well equipped with moving handlebars, heart rate sensors, adjustable ramp (15 - 25 degrees) and adjustable tension/resistance. With a stride of 18.5 to 20 inches, the Precor 5.25 is best suited for those of us of smaller stature. At 5'5", it fits me very comfortably while my husband who is 6'3" does not get a "full" stride experience on this model. (Incidentally, the Precor 5.33 has a stride of 21 to 23 inches while the Precor 5.37's stride ranges from 21 to 24.5 inches, perhaps making these models better suited for those who have longer legs.)

Without regurgitating every bell and whistle already described by the manufacturer on the product page, let me note a few of the features that I find to be of benefit. There are 2 programmable user profiles that allow you to track your progress and record your settings. The ramp is self-adjusting and does so very smoothly and naturally so that it enhances your workout experience rather than interrupting it. There are several different programs to choose from so that you can benefit from a variety of challenging (low impact) elliptical workouts without endangering "problem" areas such as weak or disfigured hips, knees etc... You can also hop on and do a "quick start" and manually input your desired settings.

The actual performance of the machine is a dream.All movement is so well balanced and fluid the machine actually feels like an extension of your body.Nothing jerks or stutters, and there are no unpleasant noises coming from the depths of who-knows-where to punctuate your workout.I will note, however, that when my husband uses the machine (he's a big, well-formed guy, 225 lbs+) the wheels do squeak just a little in the track.The manual indicates that this is normal and to be expected but it doesn't happen when I'm working out.According to the manual, the "equipment has been durability tested to 250 lbs".

Without doubt, this is one of the most flexible and technologically advanced pieces of fitness equipment I've ever encountered. While my own experience is limited to the industrial equipment at my local gym, cheap models offered in the "free" gym at hotels and those shown on the floor at "big box" department stores, I am never-the-less extremely impressed by the quality, versatility and "smart" design of Precor's 5.25 Crosstrainer.

SOFINA AIRBED - QUEEN Review

Average Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I purchased this at Sam's Club for $55 about a week ago and have slept on it every night awaiting replacement mattress.It has a flush mounted pump powered by 2 included rechargeable D cells with charger (standard D cells can be used also) or an external pump (not supplied) can be used. I find it more comfortable than several of the aerobed brand beds we've had. It has a flatter sleeping surface. It seems to be at least as well, perhaps better, built than our aerobeds. Time will tell. Loses air very gradually; reflation needed about every 5-6 days. All in all, a good deal.
follow-up 2/16: Still awaiting replacement bed. Sofina hasn't required reflation in 10-12 days and then only minimally. An excellent air mattress.

Inova T4-WB 175 Lumen Rechargeable LED Flashlight, Black Review

Average Reviews:
4.1 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)First, for those who have had an issue charging the light and got the flashing blue light when on the charger, the problem is most likely a bad electrical connection.Unscrew the battery end and clean the silver colored, unanodized, end of the cap to remove any grease that is hindering an electrical connection.The cap is part of the electrical system and any grease between the cap and the body of the light will mess with the connection.Also, clean the charging contacts on the light with a pencil eraser (just rub it like you are erasing)...This will clean off any gunk that could be messing with the connection.I've had charging issues and this is all it takes to correct them.

With all that said, I love this light.Constant output for 2 hours, unlike Mag and Streamligh lights that dim after a few minutes and continued to yellow out.This is a pure while light, with no artifacts in the beam....meaning its a nice even illumination tool.It's not cheap, but you are paying for quality.I have used mine for about 6 months, in rain, fog, complete darkness, indoors, outdoors.....and it just performs without question.You can not go wrong with it.

Lastly, if you are going to buy the T4, buy the new version that Inova is releasing this spring of '08.The output went up from 125 lumens to 175 lumens.....for those not familiar with light ratings, it is one heck of an increase!Try it and you will not be disappointed.

The 125-Lumen LED source is effective up to 300 feet--visibly illuminating objects at football-field distances.
This advanced light comes in a sturdy, aircraft-grade aluminum body that's machined from solid bar stock (not extruded tubing), with a military-grade Type III anodized hard-coat head. It boasts a mid-body switch that's located for optimal control.
The T4's lifetime LED bulbs are virtually indestructible, and the light's power regulation offers constant, uniform light output brightness over battery life. Includes charger cradle plus power supplies for AC and DC charging.
What's in the Box
T4 flashlight, rechargeable battery, charging cradle, AC power adapter, and DC vehicle power adapter.

Bushnell Yardage Pro XGC Golf GPS Review

Average Reviews:
3.9 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I did alot of research on the Golf GPS units before I made the decision to purchase the Bushnell XGC unit. I am extremely happy with this unit. Heres my summary-
- works like a charm
-battery life is excellent. I'd say I burn about 20% of the battery life for a round of golf.
-the golf course map and the scorecard features are really cool and very useful.Most courses I've played have the map feature. Some do not. At any time during the round you can get a scoring summary (birdies, pars, bogeys, putts etc).
-the contrast on the color screen is excellent. Plus you can change the contrast at any time.
-yardages are right on. A stroke saver.
-real easy to download the courses from the Bushnell website to the unit.
-price is really good for what you get.

Stream light 76811 Polystinger DS LED Flashlight with 120-Volt AC, Black Review

Average Reviews:
4.7 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)This is, without a doubt, the best flashlight for police work, self-defense, or just working around the house.The super-bright LED is VERY well focused, and the three power levels lets you adjust the amount of light you want to throw.A strobe mode works well in building searches, or other tactical situations.

The light has switches in two locations (near the head on the body, and on the tailcap.)The switches allow momentary on/off or constant on/off.They work very naturally.

Run time on a battery charge is GREAT!More than a constant 1.5 hours on the high mode before you can discern any power loss.Much longer on the lower levels.

Did I mention that you can use the original Stinger battery chargers with this light?

Fantastic work by Streamlight.I own one and carry it every night I go to work.See my complete review, with photos, over at www.BlueSheepdog.com

Brinkmann 800-2235-1 Dual Halogen/LED Rechargeable Spotlight/Lantern Review

Average Reviews:
2.7 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)Took this light on a camping trip. Both the low-power and high intensity light are very bright. If you need a "subtle" light source this might not be the lantern for you - but I was very pleased. The pistol grip is a little awkward at first but once you know the mechanism it does work flawlessly. I like it and would recommend it. The only slight disappointment was that the instructions said not to leave it plugged in and on charge indefinitely - so you have to remember to unplug it from it's charger once it's fully charged - but I can live with that and it is a pretty awesome lantern.
