DEFEWAY 720P Video Surveillance System 4 Channel 1080N DVR With 4pcs Indoor/Outdoor Waterproof Security Camera
5 out of 5 star review
I have three copies of this camera and they seem to be of good quality, and have been reliable so far - with one exception: Six of the IR LEDs stopped working in the most recent one that I purchased - right at the 30-day mark. Even so, the illumination still is fairly strong. (I have seen this sort of failure with many other IR illuminators, either of the stand-alone type or integral in cameras. Apparently, there is some inherent design issue with this type of illuminators, that frequently leads to partial failures).
Some of this camera's notable characteristics and their pros/cons are:
* The most obvious characteristic is the overall silver color of the housing (where many cameras are finished in black). The silver color tends to make the camera quite conspicuous - especially if the sun or other spot light source glints off of it. This can be a pro or a con, depending on the intended use: Being conspicuous can help it serve as a deterrent to crime. On the other hand, if semi-covert surveillance is desired, this conspicuous camera probably isn't suitable (unless the surroundings of the mounting site happen to be silver-colored, or at least lighter colored).
* The IR illumination is quite strong, and easily illuminates an area of up to 75'-100' adequately for the camera to "see" well in the dark. This may be a disadvantage for some applications, though, because the intense illumination tends to "over-expose" areas that are closer than 50' or so from the camera, causing the nighttime image to be rather "washed-out". So, these cameras may be more suited for use in larger areas than for close quarters.
* The image from all of my cameras is somewhat out-of-focus in the 50'-100' range. It's not clear whether the focus can be adjusted (and I have not been able to reach the seller to inquire about this). This lack of sharpness is a bit annoying, although not a major problem in my application - but it could be a problem in applications that hope to identify criminals, read license plates, etc.
* The color rendition during daylight mode seems to be generally accurate.
* The top visor can be adjusted about 1-1/2" front to back, unless the top mounting hole is being used (which restricts the positioning of the visor). The visors on my cameras all fit somewhat loosely, which may allow them to shift a bit over time due to wind, vibrations, etc. It might be possible to snug them up by bending the sides towards each other a bit, but I didn't try it for fear of cracking the extrusion.
* As indicated above, the mounting stem can be inserted vertically either at the top or bottom rear of the camera, allowing some flexibility in mounting arrangements. However, many cameras (including other JOOAN models) have the "top" mounting hole in the back end of the camera rather than on top. Having the hole in the upper rear of the camera allows the camera to be mounted closer to any overhead obstruction (such as a ceiling, etc.) than would be the case with the top mounting hole on this camera, which needs 1" or more between the top of the camera and any overhead obstruction. This, combined with the large-diameter mounting plate, means that this camera has to be at least 2" or 2-1/2" below the overhead obstruction (rather than nearly tight to it). This can be an issue in some mounting circumstances, especially if the site does not allow use of the underside mounting hole instead.
* The somewhat unusual dual-ball mounting system allows extreme range-of-motion as far as adjusting the camera's orientation relative to the mounting surface. The downside is that it almost requires three hands to hold everything in alignment while installing the camera onto the mounting plate and tightening the two screws (whose heads are on opposite sides of the arm, which only adds to the difficulty of keeping things aligned while tightening (especially if you can't see both sides in order to insert the Allen wrench into the respective screw heads). Also, if the screws are not tightened quite securely, the position may "droop" over time - due to slippage under the weight of the camera from thermal expansion/contraction, vibrations, etc.
* The mounting baseplate is about 3" in diameter, which likely adds stability to the mount. On the con side, the large diameter prevents the base "stem" from being mounted closer than about 1-1/2" from any adjoining wall or ceiling. Also, it causes problems for mounting the baseplate to any curved surface (such as a light pole).
* The base "stem" is mounted to the baseplate through a single, slightly over-sized, hole in the center of the baseplate, and is secured by a hex nut on the front and another on the back of the baseplate. Before mounting the baseplate, be sure to securely tighten these nuts... in fact, it would be a good idea to add a pair of lock-washers, one between each nut and the baseplate, in order to ensure that the stem does not come loose when mounting, and adjusting the aiming of, the camera. (When mounting all three of my cameras, the base "stem" seemed secure when I mounted the baseplate, but then came loose easily when I attached the bracket/camera onto it, leaving the camera flopping around loose. It is virtually impossible to re-tighten the nuts while the baseplate is mounted because it requires a wrench or pliers on each side of the baseplate... so, if the stem comes loose, you basically have to dis-mount everything and start over. Ensuring that the stem is tightened *before* mounting it should avoid this needless horsing around).
Overall, I like these cameras for my particular application... and the only reason that I did not give them a five star rating is because of the mostly minor disadvantages mentioned above.
ILIFE A4s Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Powerful Suction and Remote Control, Super Quiet
5 OUT OF 5 STAR REVIEW.
We have a mixture of laminate floors, tile and carpet in our house, and we have 4 cats and 2 dogs that continuously shed so keeping the floors clean is a challenge. The first thing I would like to mention is that it doesn't kick back dust like traditional vacuums can. Great for people and pets with Allergies. It even works well on thicker carpet like bathroom rugs, very powerful.
I am so pleased with it. It is very quiet you can barely hear it so I can use it whenever I want and no one complains. It is so quiet you can even watch TV or listen to music while you vacuum the room. It does a great job picking up pet hair and other dirt that has gotten down in your carpet. The side sweepers ensure that the floor along your baseboards is also cleaned and due to it's small size it can go under beds and desk where upright vacuums can't reach. I love everything about it and would be hard pressed to pick a favorite aspect it's everything you could want in a vacuum quiet and efficient.
I use it about 3 times a week to clean the entire house and it keeps my floors super clean. I use the Spot Option every day to pick up the cardboard from the cat scratcher that my cat shreds, it's super easy to direct it to the spot I want cleaned and let it do it's thing. Very easy to empty and the trash bin holds a lot for such a tiny vacuum and the filters are easy to clean, it also has an option for cleaning corners of rooms only.
It has no problem transitioning from the laminate to the carpet or the tile and I am even able to leave my rugs out. It vacuums them nicely without any problems. It does a great job going around things and under the dining room chairs. You can control it with both the remote that comes with it, including setting a timer for a certain time each day for it to clean.
One small problem, the switch to send it automatically vacuuming is on the top and is very sensitive, my cat has stepped on it a time or two and turned it on. For most people this wouldn't be a problem, who wouldn't mind getting an extra floor cleaning, but I worry about cords being left out or the cat's toys getting stuck in it. I solved the problem by turning it off, it still charges but the cats can't step on it and sending it zooming around in automatic mode.
Door Stops Decorative Non-Slip Premium Rubber Door Stopper Wedges Heavy Duty Doors - Kid Pet Safety With Free Bonus Holders
5 out of 5 stars...
I use these stops for my outward swinging doors in my kitchen as my cat will try to open the pantry and make a huge mess trying to find food. I used to roll up rubber pot holders and they worked, but a hassle to roll up each time...but then found this door stop. It's a very sturdy Door Stopper, extremely well made and does hold it's grip on the bottom (doesn't slide like some other door stops). My cat has tried to open the doors without much success. My only complaint... is that I have a couple of doors that sit at nearly 1/2" above the door have found these stoppers are a bit too thin for any large gaps. I end up having to push the entire door stop to the large hump and it doesn't have quite the grip. I may have to glue a flat rubber piece onto the bottom to compensate. Hoping this company will come out with another size that's slightly thicker.

It was a gift for my friend. When I first received this knife, I was really impressed by how beautiful this knife was. I don't really cook and rarely use my kitchen knives but this one was definitely something. When I took it out, I noticed that it felt a little heavier than my chef knife. But I knew this heaviness came from the blade, VG10 metal. Compared to my cheap stainless steel knife, the heavy feeling to the knife was absolutely satisfying and assuring that this knife is worth the money. When I tested on cutting the paper, I did not just cut it straight or just diagonally. I kept changing the direction to see when this knife fails to slice through the paper and starts to fold it. However, with this razor sharp, I couldn't fold the paper no matter what I tried to do. When I grabbed the handle, it felt really comfortable. The ergonomic shape of the handle is one of the huge plus to this knife. The smooth diagonal bolster feels really easy on the pinch-grip style users.
Pro
1) The knife comes in a nice box. It can be a great gift for birthday, Christmas, etc
2) The knife is beautiful. I can stare at it all day. I can even use it as a decorator.
3) Razor sharp. Extremely sharp. It can be dangerous for people with poor knife skills like me.
4) The handle is really comfortable. I can see using this knife all day and still feel strong.
5) The price is relatively cheap compared to other famous brands like Shun.

5 out of 5 stars
I've learned that "microfiber towel" can mean a lot of different things. The first ones we got were plush and they just moved the water around, but there was no real drying. When we tried these very thin ones that feel almost like chamois cloth, we were astonished to find that we got dry and the towels seem to stay dry. We still haven't figured out where the water goes, but I suppose it doesn't matter.
These are great microfiber towels at a great price. You get two large (30" x 60") towels for the price that most sellers charge for one. And you get the nice carrying bags. The colors are true to the pictures - one is navy and the other is light grey. The stitching around the edges is tight and even. There's a ribbon loop on one end for hanging. I'm not skinny and one of them wraps all the way around me with plenty of overlap.
As I said, they never really seem to get wet, but whatever slight dampness they acquire dries in no time. Then you fold them in the middle and again and once more and roll them up. They fit into the sturdy 8" drawstring mesh/nylon carrying bags and take up almost no space in your pack or suitcase. They're perfect for gym or travel, but some of us now use them at home instead of more traditional towels.
They can be washed (we use cold water and gentle cycle) and dried on very low heat for 5 - 10 minutes. No matter how damp your bathrooms are, they never sour or smell stale. And the savings on your electric bill will warm your heart.
Tattu Ni-MH Battery 8.4V 1600mAh Battery Pack with Mini Tamiya Connector for Airsoft Gun
5 OUT OF 5 STARS
I ordered this battery to use with my airsoft gun because my previous battery was only an 8.4 volt and was super loud. I could not take how bad it made my gun sound and decided to upgrade. This battery is perfect. It was way more quiet compared to my other one and fits in my gun perfectly. After 8 hours of play time on a Saturday, my battery finally started to give out. It sure did last quite a long time. The charger it comes with is a smart charger and stops charging the battery when full which is a nice feature to keep the battery life longer than if I were to keep it charging after being full. It does not get very hot after nonstop use either. The product shipped in about 3 days and I was very satisfied!
T-wilker Multifunction 2 Point Hunting Rifle Sling Adjustable Belt
5 OUT OF 5 STARS
I put together a custom rifle. It has four different places to hook a strap so that it can be carried on your back, barrel up, barrel down, in front, up close, and ready. There are dozens of different ways to wear a strap, a lot of different rigs and positions for different types of weapons. There are so many, that I really didn't know what I wanted exactly. BUT, I knew that when I found it, I would know because it would feel right. Does that make since? Long story short, the rifle turned out a little on the heavy side. I tried a padded leather (expensive) sling, it was nice but made to stay in one position. I tried a straight (and uncomfortable) military strap, I put a couple of heavy brass squeeze rings on the end. It did okay, but looked cheap and the brass rattled, can't have that. I do a lot of this kind of thing myself, but this was one thing that needed to be right. Next I ordered a two point strap and it worked well but the main strap was a stretchable material. Some people like that, but I found out that I didn't. So, I found out that I need something two point, with lots of easy adjustment built in so I can hook quickly to any point I wanted. And this is finally the one that worked best for me. It actually had a couple of pluses that I hadn't thought about; it has a slip pull adjustment, so not only did I find a strap that worked in all positions, but it took only a quick snap and pull, and your ready. And the quick disconnect was a great idea and it solved my problem of a need for speed to move from one carry to another in just a few seconds. It's top grade material, stitching is strong, and the quick disconnects are really beefy. The snaps are like something that you would put on a very big camping backpack. I am sure that they won't grow weak any time soon. With VERY heavy use, I'd say it would last at least a couple of years. But with civilian use (going camping, hunting and to the range) I'd guess it would last like ten years. Not kidding. It's going to take a while just to get it broke in. I like this s
URXTRAL Waterproof Roll Top Dry Bag Floating Dry Compression Sack Keeps Gear Dry for Kayaking, Canoeing, Beach, Rafting, Boating, Snowboarding, Hiking, Camping and Fishing - 10 Liter

This waterproof bag will be perfect for our family trip to the beach in several months. We bought it so that our daughters could put their phones, beach towels, hats and other items in it and they wont have to worry about the things getting wet. The material is very durable, yet lightweight. It comes with two detachable shoulder straps so that you can carry it as a backpack. Both shoulder straps are adjustable. What I really liked about the shoulder straps is that they are made of soft material, instead of the scratchy polyester that shoulder straps are usually made from. There's nothing worse than going to the beach, being covered in sand, and then having scratchy straps on your shoulders, especially if they are sunburned . These almost feel like silk! It also has a zipper in front which will be perfect for putting our room key or any other items we want to keep separate from the rest of the bag. It has instructions on the bag itself on how to roll it and buckle it in order to keep it waterproof. We put several things in it and then rolled it three times and buckled it. It has a round circular bottom so that the bag will be able to stand up on its own, which will make it easy to find whatever we put in the bag. It's a very stylish bag, even our teenage daughters don't mind using it.

7 inch Chrome Harley Daymaker LED Headlight with 4.5 inch Matching Chrome Passing Lamps for Harley Davidson Motoryclys with Mounting Bracket and Wire Adapter

5 out of 5 stars
Extremely simple (and I'm no mechanic). Very bright, very WHITE light. Was concerned when my bike died 10 miles after installing!! Turned out to just be a loose battery cable (LOL). Bad coincidence! Had the mechanic check them out anyway and he was impressed that the lights were so inexpensive yet worked so well.
For headlight just remove stock bucket install ring and simply plug in light with your stock light plug.On my Road King I just got the light kit without ring and cut my stock bucket, I got them installed but would not do that again and recommend everyone to get the ring.
Kit was equipped with a 3-prong (single) plug. 2 prongs for hi/low beam (hot) plus single ground. My RK has separate 2-prong plugs which attach to the 2 OEM bulbs in the factory lamp. Hence I had to fab an adapter. Not a huge deal; an hour or so of fettling and all was right with the world.
The internal prong spacing was perfect thus it works; the retainer clips are functional. I ran a zip tie at 90* to the plugs as a retainer to prevent vibration (...after all, it IS a Harley) from loosening the plugs.
Compared to H-D Daymakers this is a perfect clone for a bargain price. I haven't tested the beam pattern at night yet. I rarely ride at night as FL is spawning ground for rats-on-stilts (aka whitetail deer). My primary goal is daytime visibility. These will answer that need.

Perfect for housing lots of watches and keeping up with small pieces of jewelry. I have a large watch collection and this is perfect for keeping them clean, along with making visible the watches that need winding. Nice clasp/lock for the top and the bottom drawer slides out smoothly. Only recommendation is that the bottom ring holders seem to be too tight for big rings. Still a great piece to have.
