Find Best Price at Amazon"Two years ago I did research on all the portable castable fish finders on the market before settling on this one. It does what it claims and marks fish, depth, and water temperature accurately. I use a waterproof smart phone pouch around my neck, which in my opinion is a must, to aid in using the device. I use a dedicated dock demon pole with heavy braid to cast mine out and leave it there while I fish with my other rods from shore. The Deeper also makes you purchase a separate cover if you want to access it's led light for night fishing which is ridiculous because of how much it already costs."

"He is only 1 and a half but very smart and he loves talking on the phone so I thought these would help that situation."
"Volume control, 22 channels, off/on button and talk and release, quality set. * These walkie-talkies have all the features of adult walkie-talkies for hunting, I can beans, hiking, and playing. Which will be super handy in locating them or finding a path in the dark. * It would just keep the line of communication open without them having to press the button."
"I purchased the yellow set of walkie talkies for my 2 year old son to play with. The batteries provided don't hold a long charge. I would recommend getting a backup set of batteries since I have needed to charge the ones provided with the walkie talkies daily."
"Well I was skeptical about these."
"All in all a great toy for the kids."
"The call button will make both walkie talkies ring and it's kind of loud. The talk button is easy enough for a 2 year old to press, she just needs to remember to hold it down so others can hear her."
"Lasted only a month.....Broken...."

I wound up putting limit switches inside of the tillerpilot these switches prevented the bar from getting to the very ends of travel. I think I will still put the limit switches inside of the tp33 because I also made it so when the tillerpilot hits the limit switch it starts buzzing telling me something must be wrong."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I hoped to utilized the factory Styrofoam form to house a shallow mount sub, and instead of using my old Crunch 1000 watt bridgeable amp connected to a sub, this all-in-one unit works GREAT! After about two hours of tuning and putting the unit to the test by pumping multiple musical genres (Metal/Rock, Reggae, R&B, Hip Hop, Classical and Country) through her, the unit went into protection mode. I'd hoped that the unit would run cool enough by itself to avoid a shut down but I also knew that the Styrofoam storage shelf is a perfect insulator and has virtually no air flow. Stage two of the install was the addition of two 3 inch 12V cooling fans, (one intake fan and one exhaust fan) connected to the remote power wire, which turns them on when the Amp is powers up, and strategically placed on the hottest side of the amp; blowing the majority of fresh, cooler air pressure on the left side of the storage box and pulled out by the exhaust fan at end of the air channel, blown out into a different chamber to avoid the re-circulation of hot air back onto the amp."
"Installed this as an add on in a 2003 Ford Expedition XLT... fit the unit in the OEM sub area on the drivers side rear end of vehicle."

"Have been pleased with its durability and rugged construction until a couple of weeks ago when I tried to open the protective tight-fitting water/dust resistant cover over the USB port ... the two piece cover had separated and the "lifting part" was gone. No way to access the USB charging port except using a razor blade to pry the remaining part of the cover off."
"I purchased this about 3 weeks ago and I finally got the opportunity to test it out on a solo cross country."
"That being said I use google maps off-line with this device."
"The only feature missing from the iphone is the built-in compass; as long as you're moving though, the software will just determine your heading from a series of GPS coordinates. Overall, this is a very versatile unit which allows one to add GPS capability (or improved accuracy) to variety of devices, and should be a much better long-term investment than a GPS case tailored to the shape of a specific device model."
"It is so compact and easy to carry around but it's a pity it will not even acquire satellites when on the ground. My suspicion is this is an old product with a typo that's still being sold or its a knock off of the real thing. The label on back doesn't line up properly with its recessed area which always raises red flags and makes me think low quality or knockoff."

"When I purchased these products, I anticipated that I would need to purchase a solar-powered repeater because I did not believe that the signal from the stations would reach the receiver without amplification. This way the pipe is easily removed and laid down to access the weather station, and the heighth of the mounting permits long distance connections between the station and the receiving console."
"Syncing was easy with my weather station."
"Now that it is up and operating, we are pleased with it, however, sorting through the How To manual for the initial setup was a test of my patience."
"I ordered this as a 2nd console for my Vantage Vue weather station."
"It's very, very good and accurate, can easily be moved around (battery or AC operated, batteries last more than a year) I highly recommend this to anyone wanting instant weather information at their bedside."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Things to be aware of: Volume: Some have noted that the volume of this unit can be awfully high whenever you start/restart the unit. This is an easy fix: turn down the volume to a comfortable level and depress the volume knob until you hear two beeps. Thereafter, your unit's volume will remain set to the level you selected. Satellite antenna-placement: You can opt place the magnetic antenna for the navigation system somewhere on the roof of your vehicle; however, the system will work perfectly well with that antenna placed on top of the Jensen VX7020 unit within the dashboard. Bluetooth: By default, the unit is set to pair via Bluethooth using the “0000” passkey. iGO Navigation: It works well and the choice of voices means that you aren't badgered by that same horrid woman who tells you to rescan your item at the self-checkout lane (as is the case with my Garmin Nuvi). If you don't set the navigation settings to offer up advanced warnings for course changes, you might miss that left or right turn you should have taken-- and, instead of re-plotting your course, you may be badgered with repeated suggestions of “at next intersection, turn back.”. Also, some have made a big issue of the warnings made by this unit when you go over the speed-limit."
"99% of the time this is a result of not removing the to set screw on to of the unit that hold the DVD drive and laser in place during shipping. This unit also has a hidden menu that allows for parking brake bypass, disabling macro vision ( so you can play burnt or download audio and video files) along with quite a few other features. The parking brake can also be bypassed by wiring the parking break wire, ignition, ground and remote turn on wire up with a relay ( spdt five wire ) if you need instructions for this look it up on YouTube."
"Had this installed in a Dodge Ram for 20 months now and this morning it started to boot up with the horizontal red line that runs across the screen and it freezes about 3/4 of the way through. Not very happy with the longevity of this radio and not to mention this is installed in a car that only gets driven every so often so not many hours of use."

"Since sound appreciation is subjective, I had to play around with settings on this unit (and the head unit and external amp) until I got exactly what I wanted. Great sound, while retaining precious car interior and trunk space."
"I thing the rubber mount is a good idea but there should be a metal washer molded in for tightening."
"I have had Kicker sub's and amp that were 3600 peak and would shake my whole car and I loved it but wanted to get rid of them for something smaller and thought let's try a lesser known brand see what it has and I'm not disappointed."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Good customer service: I tried this headphone at first, no found noise cancelling at all? The Awesome thing is, the seller sent me an email reminding me that I needed to press on/off button twice to switch on/off the noise cancelling function. Compared to the Sony set I have and also the skull candy my daughter has.. these are fantastic! But either way, I could always hear my audio clearly, it blessedly shut out the kid's noise, and others in the house couldn't hear what I was listening too either- the sound didn't leak out... which is good.. when you're listening to old school rap, or romance books. They helped block all the noise of 2 small kids screaming in the house and were comfortable to sleep with on!"
"The noise cancelling feature is controlled by a button that can be turned on even if the headphones are not plugged into a device, so the noise cancelling works even if you don't want to plug the headphones into anything."
"1.Appearance - I like general design, and it looks like high quality and robust - 5/5. 2.Sound quality - sound is excellent with noise canceling, bass is excellent, with noise canceling it's little bit more shallow, with so much bass - 5/5. 3.noise cancelling function - The noise cancelling is good."
"I absolutely love these headphones. My first impression on these headphones is that the construction material is metal for the most part which I think actually helps to make these headphones extremely lightweight, works great for me. I often use this traveling time for getting work done on my laptop and I like listening to music when I do this as it helps me to concentrate. Plane - silence. The E6 headphones successfully blocked most of the engine and cabin noises without giving me a headache,I often use this traveling time."
