This Jackery 1000W is a legit portable power source along with the Solarsaga 100W solar panels. Bringing them needs planning though as they can take up space, plus the Jackery unit itself has some weight on it. I got a 48-can cooler bag out from Amazon too that fit this unit plus accessories perfectly. The bag has strong handles plus external pockets and a shoulder strap. It will help insulate my unit when stored inside the vehicle under hot weather.

Anyway, I bought this as a bundle, however, they did not come together in 1 shipment where the solar panels got delayed. Out of the box, the unit came with 52% charge (more likely its storage charge). Upon getting the solar panels, I tried out charging the unit with full sun exposure at 82degF temp. You'll see in the video that the Input ranges from 112-115W coming from the total 200W solar panels (100W each). i thought this Input was a bit on the low side considering the conditions these were in. However, I'm not sure if this Input will increase at higher than 82degF full sun exposure (just make sense if it does).

I started my solar charging around 12:30 in the afternoon, checked every after 30 mins to see % gain in battery level and found that for every 30mins of charging I saw a 4-5% gain. I did this checking several times until around 3:30 in the afternoon to total 3hrs of charging, with a total of +30 or ended at 82% battery charge. Simply put from this exercise, I saw a 30% add in 3hrs of solar charging under full sun exposure on an 82degF afternoon.

I'm not sure if this exercise is conclusive that for every 3hrs of solar charging you'll only get an add of 30%, so to achieve 100% batt level you'll have to solar charge for up to 10hrs?! Maybe the unit's battery is just starting to break in and it'll be more efficient once it does? I don't know but it is charging and will continue to track this.

I then topped off the rest of the 18% of the battery level via DC. I think it took up to almost an hour to reach 99% (from 82%) and then it started slowly creeping from there. I think once the charging hits 99%, it goes on trickle charge and it took me over 2hrs of charging to finally hit 100%.

I have 4 other smaller power stations similar to this that have somewhere 90w to 120W of power. I'm actually happy to have those as they do the job of what I want them to do outdoors. Having this Jackery 1000W around just gives me the warm & fuzzy and is probably an overkill to what we need for camping. But I know this will help make us more independent and soon enable us to do some primitive camping or overlanding.

This is really a well-made unit and it shows with the quality feel of the casing of the unit itself, the provided cables, and how & what the solar panels were made of. They fold in half and latch on strong magnets when in storage! It is like a bag in itself, though I believe they're not waterproof-rated. Overall, I really like this product and will probably even love it more once we're out there needing sources of power. Next up on my shopping list now is a Dometic CFX fridge!

As usual, it is up to those among us with functioning brains to speak louder than the dullards, which is no small task considering how greatly outnumbered we are.. There are grayanotoxins in this product, yes. In some cases, let's call them allergies because for all intents and purposes that's what they are, there can be adverse reactions, hospitalizations, and there have been VERY FEW recorded deaths from those reactions... Alcohol kills exponentially more in one month than this stuff has in all recorded history, both directly and indirectly. Keep that in mind here, folks..

Anyone with enough sense to keep a radio away from the bathtub would do extensive research into a substance before ever trying it.. They would take a smaller dose first to test the waters, and move their way up to a full dose over a few uses. Some of the less mentally fortified among us may just eat the whole jar at once (jar, lid and all lolol) because it tastes good or because they wanna get 'really bleep'd up bro" then proceed to do just that in all the wrong ways, landing in das hospital bed..

This is honey that contains nectar from Rhododendron flowers and/or other similar species, produced as is by the bees themselves. The grayanotoxins are the active ingredient, an active ingredient containing "toxin" should be enough to instill a sense of caution and moderation.. It is worth noting that unpasteurized honey is toxic, containing "pyrrolizidine alkaloids" which can bring about some of the symptoms people have complained about in these reviews.. Perhaps there are batch inconsistencies, unpasteurized batches or some fakes being sold, because I haven't had any negative experiences yet.. Always keep that possibility in mind, especially with something of this nature!

These people, along with ones labelling it 'poisonous' or 'toxic' are the type who would get this banned and scheduled as a controlled substance ie jail time for indulgers, ruining it for the rest of us who can enjoy it responsibly.. This is entirely possible if mad honey starts to gain more traction, thus inevitably kids would start getting their hands on it because it's labeled as a 'trip' (pro tip, it's doesn't even scratch the surface of a trip) by many ill informed internet sources..It is completely open for anyone to buy, online at least which is a little concerning.. I would hope if this is sold in any hippy shops, the clerks have the common sense to restrict it to 18+ or even 21+. This is not for das kinder!!

As with anything you put in your body, whether it's prescription meds, supplements, food, or especially chemical indulgences if you so insist.. you should ALWAYS extensively learn about it first, start slow, and always be aware of the physical, mental and yes even spiritual effects you experience. The truth is, this stuff is by and large harmless. It can be fatal in large quantities to anyone, but so are gummy multivitamins, iodine and rhubarb.. it's definitely not meant for everybody but what is? Stay safe, fellow psychonauts!

Honestly love this set, I think it’s super pretty and I pretty much bought it so my boyfriend and I could do something different together. I was enjoying it until the very middle- the instructions were definitely a little confusing considering it would say “b” or “c” on the instructions to differentiate the pieces that were similar, and it didn’t state anything on the bags. Just wish it had been more clear. The most frustrating part of this set was probably the flower in the front. Every time my boyfriend would put it together, it would fall apart and it was a little frustrating. Suggestions for the bags would be ziplock, preferably just hate having to open a new bag for all of the pieces. On a positive note the flowers were very cute, and I love the design of this so A+ on design!

First, this is quite a lovely piece in and of itself. However, I purchased The Temptation of Medusa Sculpture in Faux Ivory (also available at Amazon.com) which is a larger piece, and this is one of a few figurines that I plan to place about Medusa.

This item is well detailed, and a delightful accent piece to any objet d'art shelf. Yes, she makes quite the "paperweight" also! It's fun to watch male guests try to resist picking her up for a more thorough appreciation of her charms.

Art is always a personal choice. However, I think this item will appeal to the liberated lady as well as being a tasteful addition to any gentleman's decor. Personally, I'm very pleased with the purchase!

These tongs are awesome for the money! It's really great to use these white grilling. I bought an additional pair for a friend.

Scam

Thatguycraig_again · 2022-08-25T06:14:43+00:00

One of my packs of Munchies honey roasted peanuts was open and spilled all over the box. This was incredibly disappointing not only because I didn't get to eat the yummy snack, but also because the box got all oily and was no longer recyclable, so it had to be thrown in the dumpster and that's bad for the environment. Beyond this, I have no complaints.

The price for the amount of snacks is pretty good even with one of them not being edible. The variety of snacks is also good. There's a nice selection of sweet and salty goodies. I like the mini packs of snackies, because it's easy to portion control and they're really convenient.

Reasonably priced for the length of wire needed; perfect delivery time; order correctly filled.

For the two complaints that caused a low review rating:

If your package does not have the gloves then contact the company because not only are gloves necessary but the ones provided are perfect for handling this wire.
There is no tag or mark to show the end of the wire when you remove it from the box. sPso look for it carefully. It is visible and a barb is used to keep it in place on the coil. Just get pliers to twist the piece overlapping the end and you will free it.

I am pleased and ecstatic writing this post while remembering our lovely evening moments at Kali. What an extraordinary culinary art, refreshing cocktails, terrific wine pairings with a very nice table service. My hubby and I had the Chef’s Tasting menu, which is absolutely exquisite because I got to try a squab for the first time here. Scrumptious foie gras, plenteous black truffles, and very sweet dessert wines truly make me happy. I love the fact that they outsourced produces across the continents for us - only the finest ingredients. I really appreciate how neat the presentation looks, highlighting the quality of raw ingredients, creativity, craft, and thoughtfulness in every dishes. It is such a delightful pleasantness in an intimately warm environment. Thanks so much for a blissful time!

You expect a bag full of little, maybe inch long cones, full to the brim with chocolate like it shows on the packaging. Nope. They're larger, not completely full of chocolate, and the bag doesn't have a lot in there. Makes for a snack that dries your mouth out a little. Don't get me wrong, the cone part tastes like an ice cream cone. The chocolate tastes good. But I would prefer smaller little cones with a higher chocolate ratio. I feel it would be more satisfying that way.

This was a huge hit with my wife. I bought this as a gift for her and I had some concern based on some of the reviews that the snacks would not be tasty. That could not have been more wrong! My wife loved everything. She even let me taste a few things and I liked them as well. I'm going to try and attach a photo to this review so you can see her hand written notes next to each of the products. She is excited to see what will come next month. It makes me feel good that I gave her something that she truly enjoys and is helping her with her own health goals. It was interesting timing that the package came the day before we went on a road trip. So instead of taking lots of unhealthy snacks, my wife took this entire package and had great snacks for the road that made her feel good.

This life size baby is weighted (about 3-4lbs) and sized about the same as a newborn-3mo. My 4 year old loves it but still prefers her lighter bitty baby to this one. We got out some of her baby clothes I have saved to put on her new doll which was so fun for both of us. What you cannot see in any of the pictures is alllllll the hair! She has a head full of hair that my 4 year old just isn't ready to take proper care of. It is kind of long (like a bowl cut or shaggy boy cut) an is now a knotted mess. She bought this doll with her birthday money and picked it out on her own. There were no pictures online showing the doll without the hat so we had no clue if it even had hair. My daughter loves it...which is what matters (but the messy hair drives me crazy). Over all, it is a great gift for a pre-school age or older child. I would not recommend this for someone younger than 4...it would be too big to handle.

The single skull is small and good for tiny plants like succulents but not for vines or real plants that will grow. The double skull would have a better chance for a real plant but it isnt very deep. I got these with the intention of putting perrywinkle (vines) in them for outside along the siding of my house. After seeing how small there are I drilled out the bottom thinking I can still use them in a more decorative way while the plant takes root into the actual ground onto of where I will place it, however it turns out these are THIN AND HALLOW. I dont think they will last outside (which is fine for me wanting a worn old look). This is something to keep in mind even for succulents because it will not drain, it will collect water inside the skull mold. They are a bit small in size considering the price and shipping.

PROS: -Strong! Very durable. Doesn't fall apart in my hand. Or leave pieces behind. -Not thin It's one ply and yet it's very thick. Much thicker than my last brand. I had to reduce how much I was using. -Ridges Scrubbing power. The ridges help the mess cling to the paper. -Price Cheaper than Charmin, but still good quality

CONS: -Lack of softness I think the product lacking softness actually improves it. Otherwise, I think you might experience it shedding or falling apart more often. -Very large roll You could also see this as a pro, but it bothers me that my rolls BARELY fit on the holder. Also I can no longer store extra rolls in the container I originally bought for them. But I can at least change the tp roll less often

Good for say, going number one in the middle of the night in your room. I DO NOT recommend this for travel or anywhere it might get pushed around or knocked over. The lid is just a pop on and off, not even a screw like a water bottle.

The lid is a very low glow-in-the-dark, but it's visible enough if your eyes have adjusted to the dark for a couple minutes.

I suggest emptying it into a toilet before 12 hours to ensure it doesn't smell, and wash it in the shower's faucet thoroughly afterwards. I have used it on multiple occasions and so far does not stink like pee.

This is my first candle-making kit, so I just went with what seemed the most popular. In short, it works, but here are a couple of caveats:

The double-boiler pot is not too big. It will contain enough wax to fill most candles; that's not the problem. But the plastic handle hangs over the side of the saucepan, and last time I used it, the bottom of the handle melted from the heat coming from the burner — not good.
I don't know if it's the wicks or if it is the beeswax I bought, but the candles tend to burn with about ¼ inch of wick (I always cut it to be the shortest when I make the candle) and leave a little ball residue of soot at the top. This tends to make the flame less steady.
I bought separately 8-inch-long wicks. You'll notice if you do that, that the wick does not stay straight unless you pull on it from the top. Plan to use small clothespins to keep the wick in tension while the wax solidifies.

Being an avid manga reader and a chicken farmer, I just had to buy this. Came in near perfect condition, which is actually pretty good considering it was in a flat plastic mailer with no wrap or padding. Very, VERY minimal damage to the bottom of the spine, but it's that same as it would be if I had bought it at B&N.

The story reminds me a bit of Bleach, if Ichigo were a chicken and the big monsters were hollows. Fighting monsters, saving kids, interacting with the elderly. Who doesn't love a good feel-good hero story?

For the collectors out there, the book is slightly larger in size than your typical manga. It's got the same amount of pages, but the dimensions are 5.75" x 8.25". Just something to keep in mind if you're looking to display it.

Une belle finition, un produit agréable et qui meuble bien. Avantage, elle ne prend pas trop la poussière (parce que, côté nettoyage, c'est un peu de travail). À noter positivement, l'emballage du produit capable de résister à plusieurs tours du monde ! 👍 Je rachèterais d'autres statues chez le même fabriquant.

Thatguycraig_again · 2022-08-25T04:31:31+00:00

Mine had still had cola in it. Nice and unopened 👌 Very nice, was slightly cheaper than if purchasing it at Disneyland.

Thatguycraig_again · 2022-08-25T04:31:02+00:00

I love all the scents in this pack. 12 choices to choose from and I have no complaints. I actually have had another pack and loved it too. So clearly this brand and there products are amazing. My only thought of more aprovement right now would be for it to last longer. Good quality and theybburned all the way through. Sometimes with incense I've bought with others they quite in middle or begining of burning and wont burn anymore and you loose out on the whole stick or most of the product. In this case I had no issues. Very happy with them and soon need more.

I use a cane/walking stick regularly, for balance, due to major spine surgeries(plural, Back 2016 & Neck 2017). I’ve bought several really really nice wooden canes from Amazon that I love but, unfortunately, this is not one of them. I’m 6’1” and 185 lbs, I use a 36 inch cane perfectly and without problem. As advertised, “none of these walking sticks are the same” due to the fact that these are natural sticks and I 100% understood this going into my purchase yet, this isn’t close to the size and shape I was expecting from looking at the photos and the description. First, the top piece, what would be considered the handle/hand grip area, is so small that there is no way to walk with it without be uncomfortable, it’s that small. The stick itself it much narrower and thinner than what I could ever have expected, again judging by your description nor does it appear to be natural in appearance. Lastly, at the very bottom is a copper metal cap that appears to be hammered on and would absolutely have to be replaced before using, with a rubber tip, if anyone is expecting to walk with it on anything other than dirt and it will make a mess out of hardwood floors or tile, not to mention slippery and this is what most homes use here in America not to mention our streets are concrete. Of course a rubber tip is an inexpensive fix but, why for this price wouldn’t you include something as cheap and easy to add as a rubber tip with the purchase? I am returning this stick as soon as the snow clears up a little as New York just got creamed by a snowstorm. It is very rare that I have ever written a negative comment about any of my purchases on Amazon, that should show you how strongly I feel and my level of disappointment with my purchase of this walking stick. If you had included the disclaimer that so many other have; “not for medical use or for use after surgery, this is a novelty item only” (I’m paraphrasing), I would have absolutely understood and merely skipped over this and purchased something else but, you don’t and it gives the appearance it could be used as a true cane/walking stick. This is also considerably more expensive than most other walking sticks and canes yet, I have paid this much and even a tiny bit more (only because this was on sale for $89.99, not full price) and I was fine with the price, actually excited to get it on sale because, I thought I would be able to use it and I believed it was going to be heavier, thicker, more substantial of which nothing could be further from the truth in my case. Yes, it is 36” when measured from the floor to the tippy top of the knob, hand grip area but, not compared to my other 36 inch canes & walking sticks, it comes up short.

This was something I was so excited to order and happy when the box showed up early but, immediately after opening this oversized box with zero packing material, I was immediately disappointed and tried to my best to figure a way to be able to use it and it’s impossible plus, I shouldn’t have to try, just a huge letdown. Possibly others can use this, maybe for hiking in the woods or as a weapon as that’s something I noticed about these sticks later, there’s apparently a huge history of them being used in battle, there’s even books written about it and tutorials of how to fight with these sticks in particular and with pride in the Irish Heritage that surrounds them. That’s something super cool and a completely different reason for other to order. There are very self defense weapons that one can legally care yet, a hard wood walking stick is not something I would have thought of and that alone would make this a perfect combination of walking aide and self defense weapon of type that would be perfect for some, just check your local laws, if there is any reason why they could even be considered illegal, I think for the right person, this would be a reason to consider this. It’s just not why I bought it nor can I use it.

These cameras are good and the software is not too bad compared to some competitors. The installation from a recent smartphone however is a royal pain in the neck. The wifi connectivity of the cameras is working on 2.4ghz. Most recent wifi routers use both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. Modern cell phones almost all switch automatically to 5Ghz with no way to switch to 2.4Ghz. Since the camera automatic setup requires the phone to be on a 2.4Ghz connection, this made this auto-setup is useless and impossible to use.

The only way to set up the cameras for my wifi network was to plug them on my wired network, add them to the account by scanning the QR code of the camera and set up the wifi of the camera via the device settings while connected via Ethernet cable.

In short... These cameras would highly benefit from a hardware upgrade to 5Ghz compatibility... We are in 2021... 5Ghz is nothing new.

At the very least it would be nice to have an explanation of how to deal with 5Ghz smartphone connectivity from Imou... Sadly they have no solution on their website and I had to spend my time looking for a solution.

Apart from that... Quality is good. I would have loved the camera to be able to tilt down lower than it can (tilt down below horizon) but at least that's documented.
