iRULU X1S 7" Google Android 4.4 KitKat Tablet Review

This iRulu budget based tablet packs a lot of features into this very affordable tablet package. Not only do you get the tablet, you also get a USB based keyboard case! Do Not Buy This Tablet If You Are Expecting An iPad Experience!!!

PRICE: $51.99



I need to put this first... this is a very, very affordable tablet package (tablet and keyboard). It's less than $52 for both! Knowing this, also understand this is not an iPad!!! So please do not expect the same level of performance! My review is based on what you get for your money.



This iRulu 7" tablet does come with all the core Google apps pre-installed for you out of the box... Google Play Store, Google, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Hangouts, etc. This is really awesome! Many other budget tablets in this category do not include these apps out of the box.



It packs 16GB of internal memory. This is usually enough for most users, especially at this price point. It has a Quad core processor. It is not lightning fast... but it gets the job done. It only has 512MB of RAM... so do not expect crazy multitasking.



The tablet experience itself is good.... going from app to app. Its not fast, its not slow. But again, it works.



The display is kind of dim, even with the display brightness cranked all the way up.



The built in cameras are really very weak. They work, just not great. Do not get this tablet to take photos.



The bottom line is that there is a LOT to really like in this tablet. This is a great device to give someone in grade school who will likely damage a more expensive device. There are a few short comings, but I do not count them as short comings because of the price of the tablet. I truly believe you are getting a LOT for your money with this device.



PROS:

- PRICE!!!

- Includes Google Core Apps (Play Store, Gmail, Google Maps, Hangouts, etc).

- Keyboard performs well.

- Nice case included.



CONS:

- 2MP Camera is pretty weak.

- .3MP fron camera is really weak.

- Plastic screen (not glass) smudges easily

- Dim display.

Magic Cube Speaker Review

The Magic Cube is a really capable. Little speaker that puts
out a nice sound via its Bluetooth 4.0 technology.

PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1L2t40L

PRICE:

The Magic Cube pairs very easily. It also has nice voice
prompts to guide you through the setup process.

The package includes a MICRO USB charging cable, and a 3.5mm
audio cable if you should choose to use this speaker hardwired without
Bluetooth.

This speaker contains a 3W 1.6 inch driver that really
cranks out the sound. It is fairly lightweight at 5 ounces. I saw about four
and a half hours of play time with the speaker at a moderate sound level.

The speaker is solid in the hand, and has a great look. it
will compliment any environment. The controls on the speaker are easy to use.
You can also use this speaker for hand free calls (I did not test this
feature).

Neon Portable Remote Control Plug-in Wireless Doorbell Review

The Neon Portable Remote Control Plug-in Wireless Doorbell is a pretty good product. It works as advertised, with not a lot of hassle involved in getting it setup. 



PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1DAJ9Lp

PRICE: $20.00 Prime Eligible



Setup is straight forward... just put in the batteries to the transmitter. It includes the necessary mounting hardware. The package claims that the transmitter is waterproof, put i saw little in the way of weather protection. You can place the receiver about up to 1000 feet from the remote.



You then plug in the receiver in a AC wall outlet. And that's pretty much all that's necessary to get this door bell running. You then can set one of about fifty different "chime tones".



You can adjust the volume on the receiver as well. This thing can be pretty loud...and you will most likely hear it from anywhere in the house.



I like this setup because it's much easier to install this if your doorbell is not working, than to troubleshoot and repair your old one.

DBPOWER 400A Peak 12000mAh Portable Car Jump Starter Review

Never get stuck with a dead battery again with this 12,000mAh 400Amp battery jump starter set from DB Power.



PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1Pf4DOX

PRICE: $69.99 Prime Eligible



Being stuck in a dark parking lot at night with a dead car battery, waiting over an hour for roadside assistance is a scary prospect. That is why having the security of the DB Power jump start external battery is worth its weight in gold!



This battery is solidly built. Fit and finish is top notch. The kit comes with a set of jump starter cables that you attach to your dead battery. The red light on the jumper cables will turn green, and you start your car. Super easy. This device is rated at 400 amps peak power, and at 12,000mAh, you should get multiple jump starts from one charge. I set a calendar reminder in my phone to make sure I check the charge of this every two months.



There is also two 2amp outputs built into this device that provides charging power for your phone or tablet. There is also a built in LED light that is very handy, as well as a compass. Moreover, this Jump starter with built-in AI technology can deliver the power intelligently once you connect the power cord and clamps on to the car, so you can directly trigger the engine button to jump start the car without pressing the ON/OFF button.



This DBPower product is super solid, and works great. I have also communicated with the manufacturer, and they truly listen to the feedback of their users, and I was told they are working hard to include the accessories I mentioned above.

Wasserstein Bamboo Qi Wireless Charging Pad

This stylish bamboo Qi wireless charger is a classy addition to any environment that you need to recharge your Qi enabled device.



PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1ThmPrR

PRICE: $19.99 Prime Eligible



Wasserstein makes a really nice product. This Qi bamboo wireless charger looks more like a wooden coaster than an electronic device. The charger is powered by MicroUSB cable. The cable is included in the box. But there is no AC charger.



You set your Qi enabled device onto the charging pad, and the light turns green indicating your device is sitting properly and is charging. You should get a notification on your device. The output is 1A, so this is definitely not a fast charger. But it gets the job done.



The charging pad itself is very well made, and last you a long time.

Snore Vents Review

I was really skeptical when I received these to test out. I have tried other devices similar to these, and not have work well, or have actually caused me considerable pain after wearing. 



PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1HztdE0

PRICE: $18.49 Prime Eligible



These Snore Vents worked great. I had no discomfort. And I was able to breathe well. It took a few tries on my part testing out the different sizes supplied before I found the one that fit perfect, and did not cause me discomfort while sleeping.



There are 4 supplied sizes in the package as well as a carrying case. I used the 2nd largest pair, and they worked well. They manage to do what they are supposed to, and that is to keep open your nasal passageways while you are sleeping. I suffer from bad allergies, and have difficulties breathing in the evening. I have been using Breath Right strips every night up until now. But, at $13 bucks a box, it starts to get expensive, and I did not like the adhesive it left on my nose every morning.



These Snore Vents are very reusable, all you need to do is rinse them in soapy water, and let dry.



They stay in my nose, and after a day or two using them I forgot they were there.
