RCA USBNL4R USB Home Nightlight Charger - Green Review

List Price: $16.99

Today's Bonus: 54% Off

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program 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.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program 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.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program 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.

Honest reviews on RCA USBNL4R USB Home Nightlight Charger - Green

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Handy little gadget that serves two purposes for me. A nightlight for my office that can also charge my USB devices.

Update (September 8, 2012): After two months, the nightlight burned out, and this device is now nothing more than a USB plug. The light portion of this product isn't of much use if it's only going to last for such a short time. For that reason, I really can't recommend this product. Also, I pulled the clear cover off (it just slides off) thinking I could just change the bulb but that doesn't seen to be the case, as the bulb doesn't want to come out, and I'm not sure what type of bulb it is. It makes me wonder how long the USB plug portion part of this thing will continue to work. I'm not sure I want to take a chance with this unit damaging my electronic devices should the USB portion fail.

This isn't something I'd want to travel with it's too big. They should market it as an at-home/office product. My bigger gripe is that the USB ports are too close together. Only a few of my cables ones with the thinnest casings can plug in at the same time. Cannot recommend it.

The idea seemed like a good one...double up on the charging of my multiple mobile devices to make traveling with these devices easier and less cumbersome. I tried two other products before purchasing the Kanex model. Both failed miserably. One did not charge at all and the other charged on a pulsing basis. Anyone who has an iPhone knows that when you first plug in your phone you get a tonal sound. Well imagine the sound repeating itself at three second intervals. Gr-rrr.

The Kanex works and does so very well. It's very compact and the outlet plugs fold in making the entire device the size of a deck of cards. Yes it's made traveling much easier but I now use it as my main charger at home as well. Kanex costs a little more but as is often true..."you get what you pay for."

Honest reviews on Kanex DoubleUp 2.1A Dual USB Charger for iPad, iPhone and iPod

When I first received the Kanex DoubleUp USB charger I really liked it, despite it large size. It charged quickly and efficiently and the indicators turned blue (from amber) to ket you know the charge cycle on your devices was complete. However, after a few weeks, I noticed that the left port no longer turned blue. A bit of a pain, but not a deal breaker because it still charged. Sadly, I then began to notice that the right port in addition to only turning blue every other charge, began to work intermittently (sometimes, I had to mess with the cord for it to charge, this happened no matter what cord was plugged in the device). Based on this, I am forced to return the product to Amazon. Based on the generally strong reviews both here and on other cites, I am willing to accept that I received a defective device and have opted for a replacement. Hopefully, I can update with a more favorable review for the next charger.

FYI, I also purchased the Bolse 4 Port USB Charger and am really pleased with that selection, thus far, not a single problem.

I was skeptical of buying rechargeable batteries because some are duds. But I decided to buy this charger. It works great. My item is still working. Still, the batteries last about three weeks, prior to needing re-charging. Initially, you will have to charge the batteries for eight hours for a full charge.

This small charger can be tucked into the flap of your camera or recorder case. It occupies less space than a pack of cigarettes. There are only two negatives, which are not really negative once you understand how the device works. Two batteries must be in the left or right pair of holders to charge. Also, there is a switch inside which MUST be in the 110v position to charge right. Mine came in the 220v, and I can see how someone might just use it and think it's broke. If you're in the U.S., and it's set to 220, it will not charge the batteries correctly making you think it's not working right. OK, now that we have that said, I had no problem with the device. I purchased it for my minidisc recorders, and it charged up all four AA batteries in about 25 minutes to full level. The bonus to this charger is there is no wall-wart or long cords to tangle in your case. Just slip batteries in, and plug the charger into the wall. That it!

Best Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation For iPhone, iPod, iPad - Red Deals

Sale Price: $64.99

I bought my Mophie Powerstation (4000mAh capacity) direct from Mophie in early October 2012. Just for grins I decided to give it a workout to see how it performs before I needed it for a trip. Here's what I did...

I let my iPhone 5 battery deplete to 20% remaining as I normally don't let it get near completely dead. I attached a recently charged Mophie Powerstation that was 'topped off' the day before testing began. Using my wrist watch I observed and logged percentage charge and elapsed time. I left the iPhone 5 powered ON during charging but with the screen blanked most of the time, peeking every few minutes to observe it's progress. I did this test three times without recharging the Mophie Powerstation.

From a 20% charge remaining as displayed on the iPhone 5 screen.

Attempt #1 from 20% :

to 30% charge = 10 minutes elapsed time

to 40% charge = 20 minutes elapsed time

to 50% charge = 30 minutes elapsed time

to 60% charge = 40 minutes elapsed time

to 70% charge = 50 minutes elapsed time

to 80% charge = 60 minutes elapsed time

to 90% charge = 70 minutes elapsed time

to 95% charge = 80 minutes elapsed time

I didn't try to charge the iPhone beyond 95% as it was taking progressively longer to top it off. As you can see, the rate of charge is pretty linear up to ~90% and it charges at a rate of about 1% per minute.

I achieved the same exact result on Attempt #2, again starting with the iPhone 5 with just 20% charge remaining, and the Mophie Powerstation NOT being recharged after Attempt #1. I then tried charging the iPhone 5 for the third time without recharging the Mophie.

From a 20% charge remaining as displayed on the iPhone 5 screen.

Attempt #3 from 20% :

to 30% charge = 10 minutes elapsed time

to 40% charge = 20 minutes elapsed time

to 50% charge = 30 minutes elapsed time

to 58% charge = 45 minutes elapsed time

to 58% charge = >60 minutes elapsed time

The Mophie started running out of steam about midway through the third attempt but still had enough juice to get me over 50% charged.

Your mileage may vary depending on how you deplete and recharge your iPhone but for me, having over two full charges is more than sufficient in this relatively compact battery.

Discount Coleman 22007 7.5W Folding Panel

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $49.99
Sale Price: $34.04
Today's Bonus: 32% Off

During this review, I am going to be comparing the Sunforce 22007 Coleman 7.5W Folding Panel to the Goal Zero Nomad 7, which is the only other solar charger that I have had experience with and the product with which it is competing. Right out of the box, I was impressed by its compactness. I opened its velcro latch and spread it out. The charger has square, polycrystalline solar panels that make efficient use of space. The panels don't have a perfect appearance, as the horizontal conductive lines are inconsistent, but I don't expect this to hurt the panel's performance. Along the edges it has rope loops that are meant to be attachment points, which are comparable to the Nomad 7. On the back of the panel, there is a zipper enclosure that includes a power regulator which has a permanently attached 12 Volt adapter and a female, USB port. When you unzip the pouch all the way, the 12 Volt adapter tends to fall out. I couldn't wait to test it out, so I ran outside and pointed it toward the sun. At 3 in the afternoon on a clear day, I measured 5 Volts and .83 amps (A little over 4.15 watts). Compared this to the Goal Zero Nomad 7, which measured 5 Volts at .65 amps (3.28 watts) under the same conditions. I am guessing this difference in performance is due to the 0.5 extra watt of power rating from the Coleman Sunforce panel, as well as a better USB power regulator.

I tested the panel in low light conditions: An overcast morning, and it didn't produce any power, whereas the Goal Zero Nomad 7 did produce 5 Volts at 40 mA. This difference is probably due to polycrystalline solar panels vs monocrystalline solar panels, which are known for the low light efficiency. This was a very low light test.

I also tested it in a mostly cloudy midday sun situation: The Sunforce Coleman panel produced 5 Volts at .35 amps, whereas the Nomad 7 produced 5 Volts at .3 amps. They were both able to start a charging cycle on my phone under these conditions: 65 percent sky coverage according to the National Weather Service with stratocumulus perculidus clouds, with very little sky visible. This result reinforced my confidence in the Sunforce panel, given my foggy morning test the day before.

I purchased this solar charger to provide me with power while camping, so its compact nature is a plus, and it will be an invaluable resource when in an emergency situation. Knowing that you will be able to charge your communication and navigation devices with only the power of the sun is a great feeling. At this price, I couldn't pass trying it out, as I intend on getting more as gifts.

Compared to Goal Zero:

Pros:

Better output. at 3 PM 5 Volts .8 amps compared to 5 Volts .65 amps with Goal Zero in direct sunlight.

Smaller

Lighter (Even with 12V adapter. It isn't removable)

Cons:

12 Volt adapter tends to flop about when you open the zipper.

The usb port is very close to the zipper enclosure if you intend to enclose your charging device within the zipper. (This may have not been intended by the designer)

Perhaps slightly less low light performance.

I don't have any special equipment to give you hard numbers on voltage or amperage but I can tell you that it will charge my iPad2 to 87% with out the need for an external battery pack like my Nomad 7 system does.

The unit is not as "universal" as the Goal Zero system, but it does have a 12 cigarette lighter permanently attached for 12 volt charging and a single USB plug.

Edit 1-11-13

I'm updating my review and taking away 2 starts as it no longer functions after being exposed to moisture/rain. I plugged in my panel to charge a lawn tractor battery that powers my gate on a cloudy day. It started to rain, but I was not worried as the charger was out of the direct rain fall and it is "weatherproof". The next day I went out with my volt meter and was not getting any output from the 12 volt plug or any power from the USB plug.

I still think this panel is a good overall deal, but it is not weatherproof.

Best Deals for Coleman 22007 7.5W Folding Panel

The Good: light weight, charges pretty fast for a solar panel, has webbing straps to hang from my backpack while i wear it on a hike or MTB ride, very tough and flexible panels that wont shatter/crack easily i dropped it a few times while camping and riding my bike.I recently my HTC Rezound was almost dead so i plugged it in and threw the panel on my dash went in the grocery store and came out about 45 mins later and it was at 50%. this thing is pretty cool I cant wait to take it camping/backpacking.

The bad: USB plug is in a weird spot and there is not much clearance around it so its kinda tight to plug it in because the zipper is close to the plug. The 12v Car charger is permanently attached to the panel and it is bulky(I just cut it off because I wanted it to pack flat)

Great for: backpackers, busy people who love to use their phone/GPS/Ipod while off the grid.

Over all I like it a lot, and the downsides are very minor it out performs a similar one sold at harbor freight that is heavier and bulkier and only puts out 5 watts.

Honest reviews on Coleman 22007 7.5W Folding Panel

---Up date/ Feb 17,2013-----

My second one was broken. When I used it with putting on windshield of my car under the sun, and when I removed it

from the windshield in evening, this panel got quite hard to fold completely but I pushed it to fold it.

Since then it didn't create voltage. When I open it and change open angle from 0-270 deg, it won't make voltage, but

if I open it over 270deg, it makes 16.5V at cigar socket under full sunlight.

I am sure somewhere in folding part wire was cut in side.

I change my mind from my original review that it maybe not good product.

Anyway,

I wondered how this only two panels makes more than 12V.

I disassemble everything and found circuit board in the black box where the cigar socket wire and USB output are there.

On the circuit board, there's a L7805CV which is 5V,1A regulator for USB and MC34063A which is a switching regulator

IC that can be used for voltage step up/down or inverting to AC and it is used as step up converter on this circuit board.

I fed 9V to the circuit wires where solar panel power come in and cigar socket output is about 16.5V.

This is why this small 2 panel makes such high voltage.

DO NO USE it WITH SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLERS.

Solar charge controllers often have reverse voltage when it is connected to battery at night.

This cigar socket has schottky barrier diode SS14 in the black box but it seems my 1st 7.5W solar's

circuit was broken by reverse voltage from charge controller, SK-6. SK-6 was also broken at the same time.

======Original review=============================================

This is my first solar panel. It has 1 USB port and 1 cigar lighter socket.

Open circuit voltage goes to more than 40V in full sunlight here in Houston. Typical would be 18V.

Short circuit current is about 600mA and slightly more, 12V x 0.6A =7.2W, so it work as it is advertised.

I do not use USB port so much so I do not know well about it drives my USB fan which other solar/lithium

ion battery couldn't drive.

Actually I bought this panel twice, first was from local shop about $46, 2nd in amazon, Amazon was much cheaper than the shop.

I also never see this power of folding panel in this price. It's really good price for folding/7.5W panel.

I broke my 1st one so I disassemble all cover of it and found it was quite well made,

It was really hard to disassemble. Glue was all over the back side of the panel except only

soldering connection points.

Panel its self is water proof but I would say 12V to 5V convert circuit would not be water proof.

As other review also reports, yes the pocket zipper should come from the other way, I agree that.

but this time I modified my panel so this won't be problem for me.

Anyway it's good for my first experiment of Solar charging. I'll step up to bigger wattage panel next.

I actually put this on my head and walked around with it during a rally. It baarrely kept my phone up. This is because the panels are crystalline and they don't put out much if they don't have full sun. On the other hand, the flexible thin film panels don't get as much power per square centimeter even when they have full sun. So it's a trade off. These panels performed as expected. When left in the sun and not moved they kept my device fully charged. And the price is the best you can find, name brand even, seems like it will last.

Discount Garmin Portable Friction Mount - Frustration Free Packaging

List Price: $24.99

My Prius has a rough dashboard and a windshield that slopes very sharply. Thus, the suction cup mounts are not good solutions. Fortunately, the friction mount is a great solution. It works much better than I expected. Very stable, does not slide, and lets me adjust my Nuvi to a variety of different angles. I can place the GPS anywhere on the dash or even on the center console. Also works great when transferred to my wife's Ford.

Only downside to the device is that it has a rather large footprint, but not prohibitively large. I like the fact that I can easily use this in both of our family vehicles depending on where we need the GPS.

UPDATE: Now that I have used this mount regularly since May, I have to say this is the best mounting solution I've found for a GPS or any other device for my car. It hasn't slid out of place once!! Given the rise in GPS units being stolen from cars, this mount allows you to easily stash your GPS Unit and mount out of sight and then put it back into position with ease.

2009 Update: Still using this in my Prius and my wife has one too. It's held up quite well. It IS a bit bulky to store out of the way when not in use, but still a good solution. I usually remove my GPS from the mount (a simple process) and then place the mount as far under the seat as it will go. Not perfect, but the best solution I've found to date.

This mount works great. The selection of Garmin mounts is confusing as some are two parts and some are one. If you have a Nuvi with the included windshield mount, then this is the only part you need to buy. The included mount disassembles at the ball and socket joint and attaches to this one. I can't say it will never come off the dash if I do some really high speed maneuver, but so far it's held steady for all regular driving.

I like that it's easy to move the mount and gps unit down to the floor when I park. Yeah a thief could still see it if they came right up to my car but at least it's not obvious from halfway across the parking lot like a windshield mount is. A thief that sees an empty windshield mount is probably going to assume (correctly) that I've just put the unit in the glove compartment.

While the friction mount on the bottom of the beanbag is pretty darn stable even with stops, starts, and turns I sometimes would find it sliding across the dash. The solution has been to use one of those little 6x4 inch mats sold at Radio Shack or Walmart for keeping cellphones on the dash. The mat is sticky on one side but leaves no marks or glue. I have not had one slide since using the mat. I even bring the mat with me in rental cars. This gives a very secure mount that is very easy to take from car to car.

Honest reviews on Garmin Portable Friction Mount - Frustration Free Packaging

The first time I tried this mount was in a rental car for a Garmin C530, and I never thought it would stay on the slightly sloping dash of the Pontiac Grand Prix but it held firm going up and down San Francisco's hilly roads. That prompted me to buy one for my car. Essentially this mount is a bean bag with a mouse pad like rubber base but its engineered to stay where you put it and not slide around unless you move it. The good thing is that it stays put even if you brake suddenly, and if you drive in bumper to bumper rush hour traffic like me every day you'll appreciate this even more!

The advantages are:

No sticking on windshield. This is a BIG advantage as the windshield mount starts to come off easily after a year of usage, less if you leave it in your car while it's parked in the sun. There is nothing worse than your GPS sliding off while you're driving round a tricky bend, especially if you are new to the area. Sometimes it can be downright dangerous.

The windshield mount also alerts thieves that a GPS is in the car. A friction mount can be placed down under the car seat when you leave the car without needing to disconnect anything so that you're ready to go quickly when you come back to the car.

The other big advantage is the ability to move it around to the position you want it. If a passenger is sitting in your car you can just slide it to their side and they can input the information while you are driving. It also makes it easy to slide it closer to yourself. Since I have the Nuvi 660 I often make calls with the bluetooth feature while driving, it is easy to slide it towards me when I am speaking to someone in order to get better voice reception.

This mount works for all Nuvis as they have the "snap the ball in the joint". If you buy any model of Nuvi then this is all you need, no other adapter parts are needed. It's also easy to switch this mount between cars or move it to a rental car when you travel. It has been the best and most useful accessory I could buy for my Nuvi 660.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Garmin Portable Friction Mount - Frustration Free Packaging

I've had this item for 3 months, and initially was very impressed with it's holding power on the dash. It's not magic it will come off if you make a sudden turn or floor it from a stop light but generally it stayed put, even through some *very* curvy roads in West Virginia at a "spirited" pace.

Over time, however, it seems to have absorbed the oils or possiblly Armor-All out of the dash (leaving a distinct dry spot on the dash in the shape of the mount), which has impacted it's performance. It still generally stays put, but takes much less aggressive a maneuver to make it move. I am currently trying different cleaners to try to reclaim some of the original grip.

As mentioned many times, the ability to remove it from the car, put it on the floor, move it to different cars, etc. is very nice. I would buy it again.

Cheap Cellet Retractable Car Charger Samsung Epic 4G Touch SPH-D710

Customer Ratings:

I didn't have a problem with this charger and it does what it's supposed to do. It's cheap and it works and that's all I can ask of it. Unlike the other reviewer, the cord hasn't gotten stuck and still retracts whenever I need it to. The only downside to it is the cord is pretty thin but I guess it has to be thin in order for it to retract properly.

I guess for the price its not that bad.. but after pulling the chord out a few times it got stuck and i couldn't unwind it anymore... the button to release the chord got stock too... I literally had the product for 5 minutes until it got stuck... One star is actually being generous..
