Razor E300S Seated Electric Scooter Review

Razor E300S Seated Electric Scooter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This seated Razor scooter is very well constructed, and even though it has only been test-driven one time because of adverse weather conditions, it seems to reach an adequate top speed.However:if planning to purchase the E300S Razor, be aware that the scooter will only operate for a maximum of forty (40) minutes, after which it takes at least eight (8) hours of recharging to prepare it for another forty (40) minutes of use.
It is also noted in the directions that the two (2) 12 volt batteries can be recharged about 200 times before they have to be replaced.This means if the scooter is used and recharged every day, the batteries will have to be replaced in just a little over six (6) months.These are two things that need to be considered before making a purchase.

Black & Decker WS100AB Sport Lantern / Weather Radio / Universal Cell Phone Charger Review

Black & Decker WS100AB Sport Lantern / Weather Radio / Universal Cell Phone Charger
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Fortunately, I was able to pick this up at a chain discount outlet (ie., Tuesday Morning) on clearance for $19.95 - but I'm still considering returning it for a refund. First off, unless you study the packaging VERY, VERY CAREFULLY - you will miss the fact that this beast requires 9 (yes, NINE!) additional C-cell batteries to be fully functional. The box will deceive you into believing ALL functions will work on the hand-crank rechargeable battery - but they won't - and you'll only find this out once you read the enclosed manual. The halogen spotlight will ONLY work with the additional C-cells. The other functions will "kind of" work with the rechargeable battery - the radio will function for about 15 minutes or less after about 5 minutes of steady cranking. And do forget about using the NOAH radio alert function without using the additional batteries - you'd be cranking all night long - and I'll bet it will drain the C-cells pretty rapidly too.

Did I mention it takes NINE C-cells? These batteries usually come in even-numbered packs of 2,4,6, or 8.... but I've yet to see a '9-pack'. That, my friends, is POOR engineering and design. You could use rechargeable C-cell$$$ - but, since there is NO provision for an AC charging adapter, you'd have to take them all out each time you needed to recharge .

As DHF mentioned in his review, the analog tuning scale is crowded and, to me, the knobs have a very flimsy feel and are a bit difficult to turn since they are located between two closely-spaced decorative chrome bar guards. The radio reception is comparatively good - but not good enough to make up for the other glaring faults this unit has. As DHF reveals, there is no where to store the cellphone charging cord and adapters in the flashlight. I suspect they will soon get lost - or otherwise not be there when I need them.

In closing - with all its limitations and design flaws, I really can't recommend this unit - particularly at full price. With a bit better forethought and design it could have been a really great product - but it falls way short of the mark.

ADDENDUM - I tried to recharge both my wife's and my own Motorola cellphone and it would not work. Both phones displayed an "unauthorized charger" error message and WOULD NOT charge. That pretty much seals the deal for me - it's going back for a refund ASAP. I'd change my rating - but 1 star is as low as Amazon will go......pity!

Interdynamics AFK-12 Arctic Freeze Auto Air Conditioning Smart Charge Recharge Kit - Pack of 1 Review

Interdynamics AFK-12 Arctic Freeze Auto Air Conditioning Smart Charge Recharge Kit - Pack of 1
Average Reviews:

I purchased this product to check the charge level on a 98 Pontiac Bonneville and 2004 Chrysler Town and Country.I figured that since it is a computerized "smart" unit, that also measures outside ambient temperature, I would not have any trouble.Well, after dropping $44 at Advance Auto here is my experience.
Firstly, Reading Is Fundamental.For those born in the mid to late 60's you may remember the RIF campaign.When I took the first measurements with the unit it read "low charge".I ran the check three times for verification.I was about to go pick up some R134a when I notice something on the end of the blue quick connector tube.It read "push to engage".I went back to the low side service port and using my thumb....."Pushed to Engage".There was an audible "click" sound which confirmed you were solidly connected to the low side port.
Secondly, the blue hose could be another six to eight inches longer.If the low side service port is located low next to compressors, radiators, etc. you may have a hard time recharging the A/C per the instructions.The R134a can must be held as upright as possible when recharging A/C.Failure to do so can cause liquid refrigerant to drain into the smart-charge thus causing the trigger to stick.Depending upon where the low side port is located, you may have to get underneath the vehicle.
Thirdly, according to the unit, both vehicles are overcharged.It was close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit when I did the testing so I am not sure if that was a factor.The package information says the black center button is a Start/Calibrate button.I am not sure if the calibration is manual or automatic.Neither do the instructions state how to calibrate if it is deemed required.I am planning to borrow my neighbor's non-computerized dial unit to verify if both vehicles are overcharged.

Rapala Rechargeable Cordless Electric Fillet Knife Review

Rapala Rechargeable Cordless Electric Fillet Knife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is nice to have the liberty to not deal with chords hanging or worrying about power nearby... I prefer it over the plug in.. however the plugin will have a higher repetition of movements than the battery version, but not enough to warrant a buying decision.

NON-Rechargeable plugin - The only negative is that the plugin gets quite hot... as after about 20 fish, I have to start blowing in the vent holes to cool the motor... part of the vent fins are right where your hand goes and so plugs the holes.. but so far the knife still works great.

Rechargeable version - Works great!... my only negative is that if you get the battery wet "like a wave splash on it", it may not work the next day... at least mine worked perfect until that happened and I tried to use it again later.. now that particular battery flashes wildly from red to green on the charger when attempting a charge.. the knife still works great with the other battery.

You do have to learn how to press the button "down" and then pull the switch back to activate the blades... an extra safety measure that can be annoying.. the plugin doesn't have that issue.

Each battery will clean about 30 fish before dieing. A very nice tool to have away from power or when you hate fighting with chords.

When they release this in a Lithium Ion version, it will be the cats meow!

Schumacher IPD-1800 Instant Power Jump-Starter with Docking Station Review

Schumacher IPD-1800 Instant Power Jump-Starter with Docking Station
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The reasons that I bought this charger is because it has a docking stations which can be used to charge and store the unit when not in use. After the charging is completed, the docking station will enter a "floating charge" mode to prevent overcharging. Some other charger need to be monitored carefully since overcharging can damage the battery. With this unit, I can just leave it and forget it... Also, this unit is small enough that my wife can use it to jumpstart her minivan. Some other multifunction charger are so heavy, you'd have to be a weightlifter to carry the thing.

GoPro HD Motorsports HERO Camera Review

GoPro HD Motorsports HERO Camera
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this HD camera to replace a VholdR Wearable Camcorder (Black) which didn't survive getting run over by my SUV. The Hero is a well constructed camera, very solid feeling with quality construction.

Pros: The camera has four modes - video (in several resolutions), still pictures, self-timer still pictures, and interval photos (pictures every few seconds). The lens gives a tremendously wide wild view which is nice for HD's 9:16. It will shoot 1080p, 960p 720p (at 30 and 60 frames per second), and 480 (at 60 frames per second) line resolutions. It uses standard SDHC memory cards and has an internal battery which recharges via a USB cable. The recorded audio is very good both inside and outside of the motor sports waterproof case that came with my kit. Video is relatively good, not as vivid as a dedicated camcorder but the resolution is good. My kit came with a variety of mounts and a suction cup mount for windows and car body use. The waterproof case comes with two backs, one that is watertight and one that is not for better audio when waterproof use isn't required. The kit comes with connectors for connecting the camera up to an HDTV monitor (component video) or a TV monitor (composite video). A neat feature in the menu is that you can flip both the video and still photos so you can shoot with the camera upside down without a problem.

Cons: The quick release mounts have a bit of wiggle to them. The back of the waterproof case can be difficult to lock closed. The menu system is a bit troublesome to use as there are only two buttons and three LCD characters to use. Once set you'll not have to go into the menu very often.

Future: There's a connector on the rear that GoPro plans on using for an external battery or a monitor. Neither are available at the time of this review but they are being worked on.

In use on the trail the mounts worked very well. I used the suction cup primarily to mount the camera to my windshield, bumper, side body panel, and side window. Across rugged rocky trails the camera held firm and the video came out very well. The simple interface was easy enough to use. One button to turn the camera on and select the mode and another to stop and start the recording.

Product Description:
Capture the very best of your moto, auto, or sled-neck shredding in full-HD video with the GoPro HD Motorsports HERO camera and its included mounting options and hardware.

And whether you decided to mount it on your helmet, handlebars, gas tank, or hand glider, the Motorsports HERO will reward your efforts with mind-blowing images of your exploits. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery lasts up to 2.5 hours in record mode, and with a 32GB SD card (sold separately) you can store over four hours of 1080p HD video (over 8hr in 720p). Other recording options include a 60fps setting (960p, 720p, or WVGA) for amazing slow-motion shots and an ultra-wide-angle setting for 170-degree views, which will make huge freestyle jumps look even bigger. Included mounts allow you to outfit two helmets and three vehicles, and, with the suction-cup adapter, you can mount the camera to any flat spot you find.

I had very low expectations that this refurbish kit would in fact work. I think the epson salt would have been better used as fertilizer, and I wouldn't have wasted an entire afternoon following the included instructions. I would NOT recommend this to anyone. Go check the blogs... this 'recipe' has been around a long time, and the old adage remains...'if it sounds too good, it probably is. Don't waste yourtime.
I now have 6 new batteries and my cart is performing like/better than new.

Product Description:
We Own a local buisness that sells Used Golf Carts and have use a method to refurbish weak and poor preforming golf cart batteries. This method has been around for years but the battery companies do not want you to know about it why would they you use two house hold products and it saves you from buying $700 worth of new batteries!Everyone with an electric battery powered golf cart sooner or later faces the problem of weak batteries, poor power and slow charging of the golf carts batteries. We have a method that works aprox 80% of the time and will recondition or refurbish your batteries. It uses two houshold materials. We supply one and we will need you to supply some distilled water (69 cents per gallon). Each year when we get in used golf carts we experience some carts with poor preforming batteries we try this method on those carts before spending $700 on a new set of batteries. We have had awsome success and sell on other internet sites with rave reviews. What do you have to lose?....its worth a shot and works 80% of the time. It will NOT work if the batteries are/were frozen, dry or have dead cells. The new mixture cleans off the lead plates which get "gunked" up over time and cause the battery to not preform to its full potential. We see batteries regain life that lasts from months up to years with this process. Our KIT includes the directions on how to refurbish the 6 batteries in your electric golf cart and has the six chemical mixes that you add to distilled water to preform the process. Does it work 100% of the time...NO nothing works 100%... BUT it helps about 80% of the time and at $13.99 worth a shot to save you buying all new batteries at $700!!!! We give you the directions to follow you remove some fluid from each battery and then add the new solution and more often than not you will soon see battteries with increased power, longer run time and better charging ability. This method cleans off the lead plates and allows the batteries to function better
