Nunet 2-in-1 Multifunctional Adjustable Cellphone Holder, Wireless Charger Nucharger Snap200 Review






I have been wanting to get a wireless Charger for my Samsung Galaxy S7 for awhile now so when NuCharger approached me to test one of theirs I jumped at the chance.  What could be better than not having to connect your phone to a cable to charge it...right.



I already have a holder in my truck but was looking for something to charge my phone that would not leave my phone just sitting on my desk.  I decided to mount this on the wall next to my laptop at work.  I was pushing the base to help the stick adhere to the wall when I had a thought that this might actually be better in my truck.  I decided to try to pull it off before the sticky tape had a chance but I didn't know they used stuff that could hold up an elephant.  I was tugging on this thing and would not come off, so be sure of your decision when you finally place it.  Needless to say it is staying by my desk and I am ok with that, I will just order another one for the truck.



The unit itself is well made and seems very sturdy and I can tell that it was not just slapped together to try to sell a product.  Like I said above, the adhesive on the bottom of the mount is stronger than any other that I have dealt with.  The part that you set your phone on is a sticky surface and not magnetic.  This is the only issue that I have with the item because you will need to replace this part after it looses its stickiness.  The company was nice and gave you an extra of each of the top and bottom adhesive sections so you will have a spare.  I am not sure where to get them after that and not sure how long they last.



I charged my phone 20% to get it to 100% with this to test the charging and it took about 30 minutes to charge that 20%.  It is not a fast charger by any means but it gets the job done instead of just sitting on my desk not doing anything I can now have it maintain a full charge while I am at work and not have to worry about how much juice I use in the evening. 

Overall I am pleased with this item and would give it 4 out of 5 stars just for the fact that in the future where do I get extra replacement sticky parts.  Would recommend this for anyone looking for a good wireless charger.   


Product Description

Nanometer Suction Technology
Compared to the conventional magnets which might affect the wireless charging efficiency, the nanometer suction pad is made up of numerous invisible nanometer scale suction cups that take hold of your phone or cellphone case firmly like super glue. In case the sticky pad gets dirty, clean it up with water then it becomes usable again.

Safe Driving & Flexible Placement
360° rotatable pivot lets you adjust the charging pad to your optimal viewing angle and snap your phone onto the nano-suction pad easily. The base can also be adhered firmly to any position of your dashboard with the included 3M self adhesive sticker and alcohol pad.
WARNING: -Make sure the texture of your dash board is flat and works well with 3M tape.
-Use alcohol pad to clean the surface first. If not working, you might need to find another texture place to attach this product or apply adhesive activator etc.
-Check the back of your phone or your cellphone case to make sure it is smooth, flat and clean so that it can be secured to the suction surface.
- Please keep in mind that the sticky suction pad could be very strong. Leaving some area covered by the sticker will help reduce the suction strength.

SPECIFICATIONS:
1.Product Standard: WPC QI 1.1.2
2.TX Input: DC 5V/2.0A
3.RX Output: DC 5V/ 1.0A Max
4.Working Frequency: 110-205KHz
5. Color: Black
6.Large stick area: offering larger and wider charging area.

Solar Powered Security Floodlights - Motion Activated Lights- Wireless Outdoor Light- 80 Lumen Ultra Bright LEDs Review!



I have been a gatherer of anything solar for a few years now just for the fact that I like the peace of mind to be able to have light or power or anything else that is powered by the sun.  The light was a little smaller than I had thought it was going to be but puts out a fair amount of light for its size.  The light is made of a very light weight plastic but doesn't feel cheap at all.  I like the feature of the motion sensing that way you do not have to worry about it being on full bright at all times. It is also a nice feature that it is on a very dim setting all the time to make it as a sort of night light, would be great for a deck or on posts for a walkway. 

 I haven't decided if I am going to actually mount this or leave it charged in the house and use it as an indoor nightlight and just take it out to charge it when needed.  The feature to be able to shut it completely off with the supplied tool or a paperclip is nice, that way if you wanted to store it through winter or something you could do that with out having to worry if you where killing the battery.

Eternity Buttonless Flameless Lighter, USB Rechargeable Electric Battery Powered Review




I have been wanting to try out one of these lighters for a long time now.  I think it is a great idea that you can have a rechargeable lighter with you and always have a way to make fire.  With all of the Solar options for charging packs these days you can have limitless charges.  I was very pleased with the packaging on this item.  For those that have read some of my past posts you will know that I love it when companies put some effort into the packaging of their product.  It shows that they care about their product and actually want to show it off and not just throw it into some cheesy cardboard box.

The lighter itself is well made and is very well built and you can tell by holding it that it is a nice sold piece of equipment.  it has a nice smooth finish and the lid is easy to flip open and closed.  It even comes with a nice little felt bag for a carrying case.  



I decided to test this on some paper since I am not a smoker.  when you open the lid of the lighter a little green light comes on letting you know that you are good  to go.  once you stick something in between the points it emits a noise and starts to burn what ever is between the points.  If you have sensitive ears then it can be a little harsh.  It was able to start the paper on fire with in a few seconds.
I was pleased at how fast it worked and just the ingenuity of it all.

If interested you can buy it here and I might receive a few pennies.

Safety iQ - Saver Emergency Breath System Review



We have a bedroom in our basement that does't have windows large enough to escape from if we ever had a fire in our house.  That is not a fun thing to think about if you are sleeping in that room or have someone you love sleeping in that room.  It is on our list of things to do in our home renovations is to eventually add in the big windows to make it safe, but in the mean time what happens if there is ever a fire and the person in the basement has to escape.  I got offered to test this product a few weeks a go so I jumped at the chance to test it out and see what it or other products like it could do. 


This is a great idea, to be able to have something that is light weight and easy to use in case of fire.  You basically pop out the orange cap in the back to activate the filter, put the nose plug on and then bite down on the mouth guard and breath through it.  Sounds like a great system if you can remember to do that when things get tense in an actual fire.  The major draw back to this system is that it only lasts for 5 min.  If it takes you longer than 5 min to get out of your house you could be in trouble.  I would think that having a longer or bigger unit that would give you more breathing time would be worth the added bulk.  



After researching this product and others like it I found that this is a great product if you don't need more than 5 min of air and like how compact it is.  If you do happen to think you will need more than 5 min and are not to concerned about extra bulk there are others on amazon for less money that look to be great products with good reviews on them as well.  I plan on putting this item in my basement bedroom to be used in case of fire along with some heat resistant gloves and googles that would protect eyes as well.  I received this item for free in exchange for my honest opinion and review. 

Smarson 6-LED Wireless Energy Saving Motion Sensor Light Review



I have installed motion sensing lights all throughout my house because no one in the hose knows how to shut lights off.  I like things that turn on and off by them selves and this does just that.  I can put it where ever I need it and then it turns on and off all on its own.  It takes 3 AAA batteries and comes with instructions on how to use the device.  It is very light weight and the heaviest part of it is the magnet and the batteries once they are installed. The 6 LED lights are bright enough to let you do what ever you need to do but not to blindingly bright that you cant see where you going when it turns on.



The product itself seems well made, the plastic is not to heavy duty but not really cheap as well.   I am wanting to get a few more so I don't have to keep moving it to different locations.  I find that it works great in the laundry room, that way when you come in and your hands are full it will turn itself on and you don't have to worry about setting the basket down in order to turn the lights on.  I received this item in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

Car Safety Hammer - All In One Emergency Tool / Seatbelt Cutter / Window Breaker / Built In Flashlight / Whistle / Magnet / Red Hazard Light Review




Over all I think this item or one similar should be in everyone's vehicle.  There are a lot of scary things in this world and one of them is the thought of being trapped in a car as it burns or sinks to the bottom of a river with no way to get out.  Granted these types of items are also good for other non life threatening emergence's as well.  The flash light and emergency flashing lights are also nice to have if you are broken down and need light to see what you are working on or to provide visibility to oncoming traffic to keep you safe while you are working.


The Item itself is well made and fits nicely into the palm of your hand.  It is well made and feels very durable.  I am looking at getting one of these for each of my vehicles.  I received this item for free in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

ChiroDoc - Breathable Mesh Cover and Ergonomic Orthopedic Memory Foam UltraCool Cushion Review





I work at a computer all day and my butt gets sore from sitting and have to get up every hour or so to help it so my butt doesn't fall asleep.  I have been wanting to try a seat cushion like this for awhile to see if it helped with my issue.  I have been using this for about a week now and it has helped me add a few hours on to when I have to get up and move to keep my butt awake.  You wouldn't think that would be a big deal but it ruins productivity if you have to get up every hour and interrupt what you are working on to go stretch so your butt doesn't fall asleep.


The memory foam is very responsive and bounces back after you get up from it.  The cover to the cushion comes with a zipper so you can wash it any time that you want to.  I have also noticed that it helps me be more aware of my posture when I am at my desk so that is also a plus.  The only draw back is that it slides forward a little when using it and has to be adjusted frequently.  It is not enough to be a deal breaker just a little minor annoyance.  I received this item for free in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

Luxury Bathtub Caddy Tray with Extending Sides review



I am giving this item 4 out of 5 stars because it doesn't work well with my tub.  The side of the tub that is up against the wall is not wide enough to have this sit with out having issues of it falling.  You would need 4-6 inches at least on both sides of the tub in order for it to sit and function properly.  The fact that it doesn't support mini tablets is a downside as well, you can get around that by putting something behind it that is sturdy but it would be nice if the brace was adjustable on the height.  Over all the quality of the unit is very nice, well built and sturdy.  

I wish I could use it in my tub because the idea of it is great and the fact that my tub is a little off is not there issue.  If you have  the space for it to fit on both sides I would defiantly get this.  I received this item for free in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

FreeLight Solar Powered Hanging Camping Light / Flash Light Review




I love anything solar and especially if it comes with its own battery backup to store the power it creates.  I am always looking for things that I can use to help in any event that might happen that would cause my family to loose power.  This is a great little unit because you can charge it up during the daytime and then use it at night.  Depending on the charge you can get 4-5 hours of straight usage out of it.



It is nice because it is not to bright that it will blind you but just enough light to let you see the things you need to see.  I love the fact that you can charge the battery pack without the light being attached, that way you don't have to worry about breaking the bulb or anything like that. The bulb comes with a loop you can use to hang it up or put around your wrist and use it like a lantern or flashlight.  I received this item for free in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

Small First Aid Kit Best for Hiking, Backpacking, Camping, Travel, Car & Cycling Review

This is a great little first aid kit that is great for your car or backpack. It is light weight but has everything you could think of needing for most small emergencies. The container is well made with nice strong zippers that will not crap out on you in an emergency. Nothing worse than needing to get medical supplies and have the cheap zippers break. The supplies that come in the First Aid kit are not cheap as well, they are good quality supplies that will do the things that you need them to do.



The best thing about this is they offer 100% Money back Guarantee, if for any reason you don't like it you can get your money back.  I love companies that have this Guarantee because you know that no matter what you will have a good product or you will be able to get your money back.
 I received this item for free in exchange for my honest opinion and review, but I will be ordering a few more of these for each of my vehicles.
