Hitch Tray Cargo Bag Review

This is a very large capacity cargo bag. This is designed to go on one of the trays that lock into a receiver hitch. The bag is very durable in almost every aspect. This bag also has many anchor points for securing the cargo. Currently Ohuhu only offers this in a black colored bag. This bag also comes with a 12 month replacement warranty.


The bag is made from feels like a very thick canvas material. The material they claim it to be water proof and fire resistant. The stitching seems to be very well and solid. The tie down straps are made from a material much like back pack straps. Everything about this bag is very durable until you get to the zipper. Then you are to the cheap plastic zippers that break down very quickly. If you were to have this out in the sun light for a few days I am sure the zipper will begin to have issues quickly. As much durability that was built into this bag to fall short on a weak zipper is almost criminal.


Now the bag has 6 anchor buckles on it. This makes it a  much more secure cargo bag then a lot I have seen on the market. I have used this in 2 ways so far. First I used it on top of the SUV while I was traveling. The second was in the back of the SUV for a closed cargo bag. I did find that me making a few side panels to go inside the bag made it a standing bag. This made it so much easier to load/unload and cover my cargo in the back.


The cargo bag is very spacious. This bag holds a great deal of cargo with ease. I would not over load the bag with things that are going to stretch the zipper but filling it to max capacity is certainly not an issue. The material is strong enough that it can take some hits from sharp sided objects somewhat without breaking down. I do not advise putting 30 saws or something like that inside this because it is after all still a soft side cargo bag.


If you are in the market for a cargo bag for on top of your vehicle or a receiver hitch tray this is one that you may want to pick up. It has a thick canvas build, multiple anchor points, and can hold a lot of cargo. I would like to thank Red Puppet and affiliates for sending me this bag to try out and share my opinion.

Electronic Bug Zapper Review

Well this is an insect killing machine designed for indoor use. It is very light weight and a lot smaller then I had in my head for size. This is a stand alone unit or you can use the chain included for hanging.


Well to start with this is possibly the cheapest built bug zapper I have ever seen. The alloy this is made from is about as thick as a soda can. It feels very flimsy to touch and is really easy to bend. The wire screens are barely held in place with a couple of springs. However this unit does come with a 12 month replacement warranty so even if it is cheaply built it is covered for a year.


Next thing would be does the unit work. There is no simple answer to this. Yes it works on small insects that land directly on the light. If they buzz around the electrodes do nothing because they are to far apart from what I could see. If the insect is large like a moth it gets a nice tan and warmed up. If these bulbs are not the brightest in the area the bugs are not attracted to this zapper over a brighter light source. I did test this over night while the rest of the lights were off in the house. I did find a few bugs in the tray at the bottom in the morning.


This light zapper does not make a lot of noise while it is powered up. The zapper does not make the zapping noise a lot of bug zappers make. This zapper comes with 2 bulbs that are 10w so they do not use a ton of power while in use. The zapper is compact at 16x12x4 inches.


If you are looking for a bug zapper this one may be what you are after. It is light weight, compact, stand alone, and comes with a 12 month replacement warranty. I would like to thank Red Puppet for sending me this bug zapper to try out and share my opinion.

Mini Fan Review

This is a very small fan that does move a good amount of air. The fan is rechargeable and offers 3 fan speeds. Upon ordering this fan it comes with a USB to micro USB charging cable, and a indroction/instructions manual.


Well this is approximately a 4 inch fan. Even though this is a very small sized fan it does move a lot of air. On the highest setting I can feel the air moving at about 6 feet from the fan. There are 3 speed modes on the fan high, medium, and low. On low the air is only noticeable up to a couple of feet. The medium is meets about half the range of the other two.


This fan comes with a 2000Mah rechargeable battery. This is good for about 45 minutes on the highest setting on the fan before the charge is depleted. The battery does last longer the slower you run the fan speed. The thing that I like most about this fan is I can plug it into a powered USB port with the cable and it will run at any of the speeds available. Most of these fans will only run on the lowest possible speed while they are plugged in regardless of the battery strength.


On the front of the fan there is an off and on button. There are also 4 LED lights on the front panel. The top light is for when you are charging and labeled as CH that will show red as you are charging the fan. Now pushing the on button of course turns the fan on. Pressing the button will cycle through the different speeds of the fan and clicking the on button when in the lowest mode will turn the fan off. Pressing the off button will do the same for turning the fan off but leaves your fan set in your last speed setting. The only thing I find that I do not like with this fan is the amount of noise it makes while in use. It is very loud for this size of fan.


On the bottom of the fan there is a small flap that you can adjust to change the angle of the  air moving. This brace will work from 90 all the way to a flat position. This fan also offers a way to hang the fan at the top much like a picture mounting holder.


If you are looking for a compact fan this is one you may want to pick up. It is light weight, rechargeable, offers 3 fan speeds, and will run at any speed while charging. I would like to thank Accy and affiliates for sending me this fan to try out and share my opinion.

Power Bank Review

This is a portable power bank designed to recharge small devices like cell phones. This is a very slim and compact power bank. It is white in color with an off green colored connecting plug.


This only a 2000MaH power bank. It will work for a charge or two maybe for a cell phone or maybe some ear buds. Since it is one of the lower MaH power bank on the market it makes it easy to be compact. This is small enough to fit into a shirt pocket, front pocket, a small zipper slot in a bag to mention a few places.


The description does say it can charge Iphones and Andriods. This is very turn as long as you have the adapter for an Iphone lightning cable to a micro USB plug. If you do not this will only work on phones that offer the micro USB port.


It only takes 30 to 45 minutes to charge this battery pack. I was able to charge it from my laptop, 110w adapter, and from my lighter plug adapter in my car. All it requires is a micro USB to USB cable to begin charging this unit. You plug the micro use cable into the slot underneath the green silicone tab and then plug the USB end into a powered USB port.
If you are looking for a back up power bank this is one that will get th
e job done. It offers a slim design, a couple charges for a cell phone, and easy to recharge. I would like to thank Tapsi llc and affiliates for sending me this back up power bank to try out and share my opinion.

BX-550 USB Bike Light Review

This is another remarkable light from Stupidbright.com It is designed to mount on a bicycle or something about the same size as the handle bars of a bike. I have mounted this to a walker for my friend so he can see to get around the house at night much easier. Upon ordering this light it comes with a rechargeable battery, mounting clip, USB to micro USB cable, and an instructions manual.


Okay to start with this light is very bright. I am able to light up hundreds of feet in front of me on the brightest setting. There are 4 light settings of high, medium, light, and strobe. There is a power button on the top of the light that you press to go through the different levels of light. It starts out on bright when you press to turn the light on for the first time. Pressing the button a second time will take you to medium setting. Pressing the the button a thrid time put the light on low level setting. Pressing the button one last time will put it on the strobe setting. To turn the light off you have to press and hold the button for 3 seconds to power the light down.


The mounting of this light is by far the easiest I have seen from this type of mount. It is a click type round strap. This is the one thing I do not like about this light because to me this looks like it is made with out a lot of thought to durability. Once you have this clamp in place there is a black pad that the light slides on and can look to the clamp. That is all there is to mounting this light.


This light also comes wiht an IP65 rating. This means: Protected from total dust ingress and Protected from low pressure water jets from any direction. The rating makes it safe to use in the rain incase you are caught in a rain storm on your bike. Being air tight also prevents a lot of damage some lights like this do not offer. With the build of this light there comes a 2 year warranty on normal wear and tear of the light. This does not cover you running over the light with your truck and claiming it as a faulty item.


For recharing the light you will need to use a micro USB cable and plug it into a powered USB port. I was able to charge this light from my laptop, desktop, back up battery pack, 110w adapter, and my lighter plug adapter in my vehicle. It takes any where from 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on the USB port you are charging from. 110W adapater was the fastest and the lighter plug in my vehicle was the slowest. Depending on the level of light you are using will determine the battery length. On the high setting and strobe it will last about 3 hours. On medium and low it will last 4 to 7 hours.


If you are looking for a very bright light that mounts really easy this is one you may want to consider. This light is stupid bright on the high settings, made to be durable, water resistant, and rechargeable. I would like to thank stupidbright.com for sending me this light try out and share my opinion.

Men's Quartz Watch Review

The company that makes this watch call it a business casual watch. I find it more of a sports type of watch since most business casual watches have some form of metal band typically where this one has a leather band. This is a large face watch with an interesting design. This watch is black with red high lights throug out the watch.


The face of the watch has most of the letters in the red high lights. The 6 and 12 are hollow with a red pad underneath fo the high lights. The 3 and 9 have no numbers or high lights to them and are only a slot on each side. On the face there are displays for the day of the week and the day of the month. The hands of the watch also include all 3 hour, minute, and second hands. The tips of the hour and minute hands are high lighted with a dab of red as well.


The band of this watch is leather and stitched in red thread. I was very impressed with the thickness of the band. The band is a good 1/4 inch thick about twice what I am used to seeing out of these budget watches in thickness. The buckle of the watch is also metal unlike most budget watches being plastic.


When it comes to features this watch does not have many though. It is water resistant to 30 meters. This is not a watch for swimming or showering as described on the web page. This kind of makes me leary on the water resistance they claim. Since most people do now swim and shower below 30 meters. The watch offers a stainless steel back and an alloy housing for more durability.


If you are looking for a decent watch at a budget price this is one you may want to consider. It offers a thick band, good build for durability, and has an interesting design. I would like to thank The Revolt Electric City and affiliates for sending me this watch to try out and share my opinion.

Travel Umbrella Review

This is a compact design and very lightweight for an umbrellas. The umbrella is also very well built it seems for great durability. This umbrella has a curved handle making it really easy to hang almost anywhere. Currently the umbrella is only available in black with white stitching on the handle.


The umbrella is very light at a little less than a pound. Making it very easy to carry and store. The total length of the umbrella when it is about a foot when it is in storage mode. I am able to place this umbrella in my glove box for easy access as I am leaving the vehicle. The handle of the umbrella is very nice because I can hang it on a door handle, coat rack, in a closet, or any thing else that is a couple of inches in diameter. Also with the umbrella handle I can hang it on my wrist if I am in need of both of my hands.


Coverage of the umbrella is great for an individual user. When it is expanded it is about 3 1/2 feet across. The umbrella also dome has also been sprayed with a water repellant. This works much like hunting jackets with the coating. It keeps the umbrella from soaking in water unless you leave in a tub of water for a few weeks. This makes the water bead and run off the top of the dome.


The umbrella has a click button for opening and closing the umbrella. To expand the umbrella make sure you have the dome strap released. Then you press the silver button that says open/close. This will expand the rod and open the dome in one motion. Now to put the umbrella away you hit the close button again. This will release the dome rods. However it does not bring in the upright rod. You will still have to grab and pull the rod into position. From there attach the dome strap around the umbrella dome. Now to the only part of this umbrella I do not get, why this strap is a bright blue? I think it would have been much better as a black strap to match the dome better.


If you are looking for a really good umbrella this is one to consider for sure. It offers quick easy opening, water repellant, a curved handle, and is built to last for a long time. I would like to thank AOG Design and affiliates for sending me this umbrella to try out and share my opinion.

Coccyx Cushion Review

To start with these cushions are awesome. They are designed to remove pressure from your Coccyx and spine while setting. This one also comes with an added feature over most of the others on the market with a heated cushion option. The cover for this cushion only comes in blue for now from what I can see.


The entire object of this cushion is to make it easier on people who have to sit for extended periods of time. This is accomplished with the design of the cushion. The cushion is shaped like a U. Now how this works is you place the U side of the cushion to the back of the chair. Now you have a seat making sure that your tailbone is lined up with the U area of the cushion where there is actually no cushion. This now makes your body weight sit on the back of your legs.


Now this cushion has an added feature. This is a heating option. The heater works from a USB cable. This can be powered from a USB port on your laptop, desktop, 110w adapter, and it did work from my back up battery pack. The heat of the seat is for the most part only warm. This does work well if your legs are sore from exercise or if you are like a friend of mine "always cold" it does help. Now if you are using the heating option it is very simple to make sure the cord is out of the way. All you have to do is unzip the cover a bit and stuff the cord inside the cover. Then you zip the cover closed and the cord is up, away, and safe from snag damage.


This style of cushion is made from memory foam. This means after you have finished sitting on the cushion it will return to its normal form. The foam will also form to the curves of your body for a more comfortable sit for long durations.


If you are a person that has back issues, headaches, tailbone issues, or sit for extended periods of time this is a great cushion to consider picking up. It provides reduced pressure from along the spine, made from memory foam, and this one has the added ability of heating. I would like to thank SYNC Services and affiliates for sending me this Coccyx cushion to try out and share my opinion.

Ice Bag Review

This is a 9 inch reusable bag. The bag is a soft side bag that transfers the contents to the users surface very nicely. The bag comes blue in color with a white twist off lid.


The bag is capable of being used as a hot or cold pack. To use it as a cold pack I put in a good amount of ice in the bag. Once I get the bag packed about 1/2 full of ice I then add tap water to the bag to about 85% capacity. This makes it the bag still soft enough to wrap around the injured/sore areas. Now for hot I typically put a couple cups of water in the microwave and heat it up. Once it is heated up I pour it into the bag and it becomes a great hot pack.


When I have finished using my ice bag I take care of my bag in a manner I found to work. I drain the bag by twisting off the cap/lid. Then I make sure to stand it up on end with the opening facing down in my dish rack. I then pull the bag up to a cone shape so it can drain and dry out all the way. Then once it is dry I put the cap back on the bag and store it for the next use.


If you are looking for a great ice bag this is one to consider. They are reuseable, easy to take care, and works for a hot or cold pack. I would like to thank Red puppet and affiliates for sending me this ice bag to try out and share my opinion.

Lucky Buddha Statue Review

This is a set of 6 figures of laughing Buddha's. Each are in different poses in this set. The set I have is the small gold Buddha figures. This set is the lowest price set that are offered on this Amazon page. There are other sets that are larger and different colors. There are golden, red, brass gold, mini red, and small reds to choose from.


I have another larger set that I picked up at a store about 6 months ago that are the red color and the large size. Each of those had a sticker on the bottom saying what each pose was to help with. For instance your love, peace, or your journey. This set does not come with that kind of a description but you can find out what each pose is supposed to enhance.


I have my little Buddha setting out on the table while I play bingo. The other players I go to bingo with have gotten a Buddha as well to have on their table to hopefully increase out group's luck while playing bingo.


This cheap set of Buddha's are exactly that. They are constructed cheaply and made from a cheap material as well. The molding for these Buddha's are not detailed. For instance there are eyelet holes on the back of these mini Buddha's and most of them are partially or completely full where the casting has failed. The material the Buddha's are made from is very cheap and does chip and break if you drop them. If you take care and maintain them there is no issues though.


If you are looking for some lucky Buddha figures these are nice little trinkets to pick up. They are funny/cute looking little fat guys laughing. I would like to thank Brass Statu and affiliates for sending me this set of Buddha's to try out and share my opinion.
