Brunton Solarport 4.4 Watt Foldable Solar Charger with Battery Charger
Poor results and no response from tech support
I am very disappointed in the Brunton Solarport 4.4. I wanted to charge my iPhone but was unable to charge it; even in full sunlight with the phone turned off. It did charge my Garmin Forerunner (a smaller device.) Not much bang for the buck; I wouldn't recommend it. No response from product support guy; won't return calls.

Perfect Pullup
WARNING handles broke
Yes the plastic handles broke. I bought this for my use and for the Marines that i work with to use also. It has received heavy use in 7 weeks. the young Marine who broke them weighs 185 pounds! Both handles broke and he fell on his knees. Somebody with bad knees would have been in the hospital. The idea is great. Quality really is poor. Read the other reviews they all talk about quality is

Dora the Explorer Three-Wheeled Scooter
Disappointed
We bought this for our 4-year old and are very disappointed. The scooter is inordinately annoying to put together and poorly designed. The ride is not smooth because the shape and material of the wheels make it stick in our regular asphalt driveway, it is impossible to get up any sort of speed on it, and it is not stable, always tilting to the right or left in the front part. It's been left out

SteriPEN Adventurer Handheld Water Purifier
Not reliable
I've giving it a single star for being unreliable.
I got this thing and tried it out a couple times and it seemed to work. Then I took it on a weeklong backpack trip and it failed from day one because it ran the rechargeable batteries down after less than 5 uses. I should have brought Iodine tabs as a backup.
Also, the LED lights used to indicate readiness are very diffi

Please don't even think about ordering this treadmill if you'll need to get it up even a few steps of stairs or into the house by yourself! Even one extra person helping won't be enough! This box is HUGE and HEAVY!
Very Important: This treadmill will be delivered only to your CURB! If you grease the delivery truck driver's palm, he might be real nice and put it in your driveway or

Polar IrDA USB 2.0 Adapter Interface
Unstable and intermittently functional
I received this as part of a bundle, not through Amazon, but because I use Amazon for a lot of purchases I feel compelled to register my concern over this component here. I run it with a Polar RS400 (which I really like) and use Windows XP SP2. I have to cross fingers, say a prayer, extract my running data and then quickly disconnect the IR device before I get a blue screen of death. Half the t

Schwinn Airdyne Evo Comp Exercise Bike
Great Bike - Poor Custermer Service @ Nautilus
My bike arrived with a broken monitor and missing parts. I called Nautilus which now owns Schwinn. The customer service # is understaffed and incompetent. I spent over a 1/2 hour to get to the right person and to communicate my problem. I then had to email the same person with confirmation information on my Amazon order. After another 2 emails and over a week later I finally received my parts. I w

DVD Xpress DX2 USBAV-709-EF
ADS USBAV 709
This product would not work on my HP dual core 1GZ with 2GZ RAM. The driver out of date error message popped up. When I downloaded the beta driver for VISTA, it was even more of a disappointment. The same error message appeared. My computer did not see the 709. I returned the product for a refund. I should have paid attention to the "What are you smoking" review.

Katadyn Hiker Water Microfilter
I dont know what everyone else is talking about .
After researching water filters for a few weeks i thought i found a real winner with this one. I bought it for a week long canoe trip to a pretty untouched place with very clear, clean water. There were 8 of us on the trip. After three days and only about 10 or 20 gallons pumped, the pump was getting very difficult to pump. After 4 days, it was completely impossible to use and we had to use iod

Coleman Rechargeable Quick Pump
I can't return this product to the Amazon.
I got King-sized air mattress and quick pump together yesterday by mail for my first camping tomorrow. However, the pump never worked. It seems just bad luck, however I can't return this product to the Amazon. I called to Coleman service center near my place but they only repair stove and lantern. If you don't have Coleman service center near your place, you need to pay for shipping for this heavy

Ninja Climbing Hand Claws Set
worthless
the shuko are worthless. they claim to be sharp and they are far from that. the straps that come with them are to short can't adjust them. if you want to climb anything you will have to do some filing on them to get a point. don't waste your money on these. the plastic ones are sharper.

CoPilot Limo Bicycle Child Seat
Not worth the money
CoPilot Limo Bicycle Child Seat
This seat was great... while it lasted. The rear security catch snapped off after just 18 months, which is not what I expected considering the cost. I don't think the design is great to have a flexible piece of plastic taking a lot of force. If I was buying again I'd look for something cheaper and simpler.

Bike Rack Rear Wald 215 Steel-Black
Not worth the shipping cost
Do not try to save a few dollars buying this rack. Shipping will cost you anyway and the rack is not worth the few dollars it cost. It would not mount on my bike due to not having the proper hardware included. My wife's bike has the single center hole this rack MUST have to be mounted, but the metal piece that connects the rack to the hole on the bike is not long enough so the rack can not be m

GRAMICCI Men's Original G Pant Straight Leg
great cloth, terrible cinch
I've been wearing "Original G" Grammicci's since long before they were called "Originals" and own more than twenty pair of shorts and long pants. They are the most comfortable pants money can buy and look better the longer you wear them (no dryer please). My wife's been buying them too.
The new generation share the attributes of good cloth, good fit, looks great. But unlike the rug

Dora the Explorer Jr. Skate Combo in Vinyl Bag (Size 6 - 12)
Cute but not tough and to size
I bought these for my two year and was so excited to give them to her when they were mailed. Within the first hour one of the straps broke. I had to use a clothes pin to connect it back. I figured I got what I paid for. The pads however are great. I will use them when I replace these. My daughter wears a size 9 shoe and I have these opened all the way so I am not sure the skate is true to size, wh

Razor Dirt Quad Electric Four-Wheeled Off-Road Vehicle (Red)

Ordered Razor ATV, and was sick with performance. Wouldn't run for more than 10 minutes. Then found that the 30 day return policy expired before grandkids returned from Guam and tried it out. Took to authorized repair facility, they said battery good (but I had called Razor who had said battery probably bad and sent new one.) Repair facilility claimed loose bolt was problem and that battery was

Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker (The Ice Cream Ball)
Faulty balls
I bought the ball last weekend and used it for the first time last night with friends... the seal between the outer container for the ice and the rock salt, and the inner container for the ice cream is faulty. After the 30 + minutes we spent rolling and tossing the ball around we ended up with incredibly salty Grass hopper ice cream. We live in a small town and I can't even return the thing to t

GoFit Chin-Up Bar
Not same as the old model
I bought one in 2006 and it was the one in the picture with the round mounting heads that nicely hides the screws, and the padding was thick and comfortable. The new one with the hexagon shape mount sucks, it now has thin padding that is wrapped on by velcrose. The mounting pieces on the new model isn't totally flat and doesn't flush against the door frame. The uncovered mount also doesn't hide

Perfect Pushup Power 10 Workout DVD
Bad Business
The Perfect Pushup product is pretty good, but the company's business practices are weaselly. Let's see, you have to buy the product for fifty bucks, then spend 10 bucks on the workout cards (No, they're not included) and then spend another 15 bucks for the DVD. This should all be in one package.
Decent product, but I can't support this company.

AquaShed Truck Camper Cover by Adco
Don't waste your money
The wind shredded this cover. The material is so paper thin that you have to be carfeful that when you pull gently on it that it doesn't tear in your hands. The second time I took the cover off it split in the middle of the back, midway between the side and the door. So I bought some special tape for it and taped it closed. After a 50mph wind it totally shredded, my tape joint held, but it ripp
