Xantrex 802-1500 XPower 1,500 Watt Portable Powerpack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed a powerful but sealed power-pack (sealed battery + converter) for poolside use, to power a large 110-volt karaoke machine for five hours a day. The Xatrex 1500 is the only power-pack I've found that meets this requirement.
It was a pleasant surprise to find that the wheels have rubber rather than (noisy) plastic treads.
The first 1500 stopped working with a bang after two hours. When I phoned the Xantrex company, the technician I soon was talking to quickly concluded that my 1500 had malfunctioned and recommended that I return it. I was pleased with this candor. The second 1500 has worked for about a month now.
Not obvious is that the 1500 has a small storage cabinet, in which I store an extension cord.
Both 1500s arrived undamaged. A disclaimer is that I bought my 1500s from costo-dot-comm, which is relevant because perhaps Costco uses different packaging for shipping.
The "large karaoke machine" is a MegaStar CM-K1100, and its average draw has been 30-something watts.
9/18/06 Update: Around July the charge time dropped to under four hours. When I called Xantrex, the technician told me that battery life is about 200 charges.

P3 P0250 MIni Hygo-Thermometer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's small, it's simple and easy to use, and it feels well designed and made to last. I've spent a lot more on a hygrometer in the past that felt flimsy and acted flakey. This one is small and seems to be fairly accurate. I use it to monitor my large iguana's room for heat and humidity. It works perfectly and the min/max settings are very handy to monitor her environment with an eagle's eye. I'm getting one more of these for a meat locker I'm building for making smoked meats. Yay!
