fast charging

Charges a cell phone fast. But, because of it's size, just one charge for a phone is all you get.

Color buttons were incorrect and etched lettering was faded in several areas.

I gave this remote a 3 star because it is very mediocre, it is a super cheap knock off of a OEM version. The lettering is not very good. The lettering isn't crisp. Also, my biggest complaint is that the colors are off, where it says "yellow" there is a blue key and all the other color keys are off as well. This remote works but you have to press hard. Bottom line super cheap but it worked.

Over sized and charges power packs slowly

I bought this USB Power supply so that I could quickly charge up my battery power packs, hoping it had at least 2.4 amps of output current. It works, but it powers up my battery packs slow, so I am suspicious of the real output current that this very Large power delivery unit has. One of my battery packs was plugged into this unit over night and it still wasn't charged all the way. So, I took one of my older power supplies that came with my ASUS pad and it quickly finished off the last part of the charge. I almost sent this unit back, but it does work, it will charge what you plug into it. The other thing I don't like is that it is huge, way over sized and it only has 2 outputs and one is a USB-C which isn't a USB type that I use yet. I wonder why they made it to fold up the power plug but didn't try to make it smaller? Noubco is a much better option, smaller and both outputs have 2.4 amps.

You have to buy the 75mm half ball separately but this stand is very sturdy

The one question that I couldn't find the answer to was, did it come with the half ball. The answer is no, but it does come with the gadget that screws the half ball down. But, when you buy the half ball separate, it comes with the same gadget that screws the half ball down, so you end up with an extra one. Other than that, this little stand is really sturdy and well made. I love the little carry bag that comes with it, very high quality. Also, it comes with another style of rubber feet and spikes for putting it in the grass or dirt.

Best teakettle I have owned

Two good features for this teakettle are the ceramic interior and the gauge. Not sure why you need a gauge since it starts making noise (whistle) when it is time to shut down the water. You could try to get it hotter than the whistle but it is all relative as to when you pour the water into a cup and how quick the water can change in temperature once it leaves the flame.

The handle, you would think, would be cool to the touch when it is ready to pour, but just like every other teakettle, you need a towel between you and the handle or get a hot hand. Not sure how you could make a better handle though. Also, interesting observation was that it is painted all the around and onto the bottom, and it held up well to a gas flame, but over time it will show some discoloration on the bottom. Over all I think this is the best teakettle I have owned. Do not buy a teakettle that doesn't have a ceramic coating, or you'll be drinking rust, eventually. Also it is very attractive teakettle. I like it a lot.

Fun for ages higher than 4

This is an awesome mechanical bear. Very entertaining. I highly recommend it. Remember the teddy rupskin bear, this one is similar and fun for everybody. Your dog will think it is real.

Works well. New bracket is better then the old sensor location

All I needed was the two little orange wires. I probably could have used the existing flame sensor. I took the original out and installed the new one with the new bracket, it keeps the wires from being anywhere near the flame, the original flame sensor was right under the burner beginnings. It was hard to put the wires in the molex connector. I couldn't get that dang connector to come apart, I just got it half way apart and snapped the top wire in and snapped the bottom wire in and then closed the half opened molex. The rest was easy.

Chronograph works great and nice graphics

What I like about this watch is the quality and the tritium illumination. Another feature that stands out about this watch is the second hand is on a small dial. Not too many watches have the second hand like that. Also, the raptor graphic on the second hand dial is nice. The titanium gives it the strength to handle the day to day wear. Just an overall nice watch.

Fit on the bottom of my old microphone

I used this to convert my old microphone to xlr. My old microphone had a cable coming out of the bottom of it to a big sized phono plug. I installed this instead and it worked out great.
