$.99 Cent Sterling Silver Band Ring @ #Amazon What A Deal~!





I was so skeptical when I first purchased this ring due to the price but not any more. It is what it says it is, 2MM .925 Sterling Silver Band Ring. It is polished to a nice shine. I have worn this for a week now and it looks just like the first day I put it on with no dullness or tarnish. The band is stamp with the .925 symbol and it has a nice curved bevel to the outside of the ring.



I have been looking for a thin thumb ring and this was the perfect size. I am very happy with this purchase. I just wish I had ordered two instead of one. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a Sterling Silver thin ring band. I have included a few pictures so you can actually see the thickness of this band while wearing it.


You can pick this up for $0.99 cents and $5.99 shipping on Amazon (sorry no prime) for a total of just $6.99 Just click on any hyperlink in this post and it will take you to the product on Amazon.

If you decided to buy one let me know in a comment. I love hearing form you.

Adult Storybook Coloring Book Deal On #Amazon



I bought this Coloring Book because I love wildlife and animals and this seemed to be exactly what I would enjoy coloring. I was surprised to find out it also told about each animal beneath the picture. For me this made it interesting too. This book is different from other coloring books I have purchased in the past. This has very shaded pictures not like traditional coloring books with thick heavy line and open spaces. It also has a story line beneath each coloring page. I found this to be challenging and fun but if your looking for big bold area coloring pages this isn't for you.





This has a picture on every page. The back page is not blank so if your using markers this will be a problem with bleeding onto the other page so for marker users I do not recommend at all. This was the reason I gave it four stars because where it is heavily shaded markers would of worked wonderful on these pictures. I wish they had left the back of each page blank and made the pages thicker for marker use.




This to me is a coloring storybook not just a coloring book. I have taken a few pictures so you can see some of the pages inside before I colored them.



I found this fun book on Amazon for only $2.86. What a deal right! Just click on any hyperlink and it will take you to the listing. 
Leave me a comment and let me know if you enjoy coloring and do you spend time coloring with friends and family or quietly by yourself?

Looking For A Fun Gift? This Is Awesome~!






I have had so much fun with this CX-10W RC Mini Quadcopter by oneCase. It's so simple to set up but to operate it is another thing. I don't know if it's because I'm all thumbs on the touch screen controls or what but I am horrible at steering it. I'll have to get a lot better before flying this in a small area or indoors. Sorry about the crash landing video but I can't seem to get by those trees without clipping a leaf or two. This thing goes real high and I can barely see it at times. I can't express how cool this thing is. Makes for a great adult toy! 

This is loaded with fun features. Such as video or still pictures. It comes with WiFi 0.3MP HD camera which can achieve real-time FPV by connecting a your cell phone. What I like is the video the CX-10W RC Mini Quadcopter takes while flying it automatically syncs and ends up on my phone without me having to do anything. No transferring with a memory card. I can view the video or pictures it take on my phone immediately. That is awesome.

First you have to charge the Quadcopter. It comes with a USB cable and the end of the USB cable will glow orange/red when charging. Once it is fully charged the light will go out. Once the Quadcopter is charged it is ready to pair to your phone. To do that you turn on the Quadcopter then go to settings and turn on and open your bluetooth option and “search for devices”. Once it is paired you will have to down load the CX-10W app on your phone. To connect with the Quadcopter you should not be near any other internet service such as your home internet because it may interfere connecting to the Quadcopter. You want the signal on the Quadcopter to be a stronger signal. Go to your internet options and connect with the CX-10W. Now you are set up to enjoy your Quadcopter by oneCase over and over. This is small enough to sit in the pom of your hand. How cool is that. This would make a great gift for that hard to buy for person in your life or maybe a nice stocking stuffer too!




Once you open the app you will see a screen that shows a picture of a Quadcopter and the word play. Just select play and another screen will open and show you all the controls. It has on phone controls for Right/Left, Forwards/Backwards, Up/Down. It has many feature buttons along the top such as the picture, video, photo & video playback, speed, Gravity sensor mode, 3D vision, calibrate the aircraft, Show/Hide control interface, reverse screen and VR mode.

It recommends in the manual to calibrate the Quadcopter. This will help it fly properly.
I had the speed set on 30% and I thought that was fast but according to the manual that is the low setting for speed. It actually has three speed modes low, medium and high.

I liked that although they included a paper manual it's also on the app what all the controls mean and what they are used for. One the start page is a red ? Mark. If you click on that it shows a picture of all the controls and what they are used for. So it has an on board diaphragm short menu.

This is also capable of flying at night but I haven't mastered flying during the day yet. I think I might invest in a remote control transmitter with joy sticks. This would be easier to control and fly with that I think.

This has a very short charging time of 30 minutes but it also has a short flying time of only 4 minutes. I actually used it today for 6 minutes before the battery went dead. I would of liked to have seen a longer charge time and a longer fly time. I find I no more get having fun and it is dead so I have to stop and charge it. If you plan on using this away from home with no USB charging station I recommend that you take a portable power bank with you to recharge this.

I also wish they had added a beacon feature so it would sound so when it drops unexpectedly it would be easy to find. We lost it in a field and it took more than 30 minutes to find it and a beacon or a feature to make it sound would have been so helpful. The battery life span and the beacon are the only two improvements that I can think of to make the experience to fly the oneCase Quadcopter.

I like that they added an extra set of propellers because as bad as I am at flying it I'm sure I'll need them soon to replace the ones that came on it.

WiFi transmission distance is about 65 feet or 20 meters. It seems a lot further than that though. The size is 1.3 x 1.3 x .87 inches or 32 x 32 x 22mm. It weights 1.4 ounces.

The manual has lots of pictures and explains how to use this and care for the Quadcopter so I recommend reading it thoroughly.

Need A Great Pair of Headphones?







Music is a big part of my life with 2 musicians in the family. One family member plays guitar and sings and another plays drums and guitar. We have a music studio where they have band practice on a regular basis. That means we need a good quality set of headphones to use with the mixing board and while laying tracks. That's why I was super excited to try out the Sound Intone CX-05 Headphones.












The headband and earpad is made with memory foam which is covered with PU Leather on the inside plus a diamond stitched fabric on the outside. This not only looks awesome it feels awesome. Especially the ear pads. Usually after an hour of wearing a set of headphones they become uncomfortable but not this set. I spent four hours laying tracks yesterday and they were still comfortable. The earpads are also labeled with a big “R” and “L” on the inside of each earpad to distinguish Right or Left.








The headband has a stainless steel retractable adjustable slide so no matter who wears them they fit perfectly. This is great because we use them while mixing, laying tracks and for vocals so depending on what we are using them for depends on who's wearing them. That means they have to be adjusted to fit each individual person.


I like that these headphones are constructed with metal instead of cheap plastic because the plastic breaks easily and never last very long. Many companies manufacture great sounding headphones but then they skimp on the materials used in the making of them like using plastic headbands instead of a sturdy metal or they use cheap padding instead of memory foam. They followed through with this set which is awesome.









Even the detachable cables that came with this set are nice. They are wrapped fabric cables. That means the cables will also last longer and also help keep them from tangling. That is important because these will be used a lot and no one wants to waste time untangling cords. The plugs on these two cables are glod plated 3.5mm for static free without distortion connection. I like that they added an extra auxiliary cable too. One has a in-line remote with a built in microphone. That means I can use these to also answer phone calls if I want to. The microphone is a 360* degree highly sensitive omni directional microphone. Although I know these Sound Intone CX-05 won't be used for that I did make a call with them and the conversation was clear and the person I was speaking to said there was no static or echo on their end. Then I asked them to call me back to see if they worked the same way with an incoming call. I had the auxiliary cable plugged into my cell phone listening to music and when the call came in the music stopped automatically. I click the button on the in-line remote on the cord and it answers the phone. If they hang up first the phone disconnects and the music plays again automatically. If you want to hang up just click the in-line remote button again and it will disconnect the call. If your listening to music and make a call out the same thing happens, the music stops when the call is connected and reconnected when the call disconnects. The only thing I didn't like about these cables is the length. They measure 4 feet 9 inches or 1.5m. I would of liked to have seen 10 ft cords which would allow more movement when the band is using them. Most headphones come with a short cord. I would like to see a company include one longer cord. This I'm sure would come in handy in more ways than one. That would be a nice option but that's just my opinion.

One of the features that come in handy is the ability of this set of headphones to fold for easy transportation. When traveling to a gig I can tuck these in a guitar case because the earpads fold into the headband. This not only makes them compact for easy transport but it also protects the earpads from damage.










Although the Sound Intone CX-05 Headphones has many great features the one that impressed me the most was the sound of this set. I am super impressed. I wanted you to be able to hear what I hear when wearing them. The closest I could come is to place a recorder inside a box between the earpads and record a relaxation sound track. Then upload the track to amazon but that means you are listening to the track in an box and the quality of the recorder plays a factor in clarity. Even so I think it came out pretty clear however it still doesn't do the sound quality of this headphone set justice. It's so crystal clear and sharp.

I will never need a Masseuse again!



I have to say the first time I wore the Naipo Shiatsu Kneading Neck Massager I was in love with this thing. It's the first massager that I have bought that actually is comfortable and works independently on it's own and WORKS! This thing is the bomb! It really massages those sore neck and shoulder muscles. I have wasted so much money on massagers over the years and they just caused more pain trying to hold the in weird or uncomfortable positions or didn't feel good at all. As you may know a Masseuse is expensive for even just one hour of pain relieving massage but did know the Naipo Neck Massager is about the same price as once session with a Masseuse or less!?! That's why I had to share this with you.



It is super easy to run with just three buttons which are Heat, ON/OFF button and Direction button. The 3D rotation kneading massage rollers go forward and backwards switching every few minutes. Each motion massaging a different set of muscles. You can select the direction by pressing the bottom button labeled DR for direction.


This also comes with a Heat option feature. The top button with the label HT and icon waves is the heat button option. Just press once to turn it on. I love the heat option. Have you ever slept wrong and woke up with a bad stiff neck? This works great for that. I have used this for that exact reason and although it hurt it felt so good at the same time.

This is the first massager that I have found that works great that I could afford and use every day.

ikris 4 Way #Garden Hose Splitter





Living on a farm you need lots of hoses for watering livestock and gardens. We run two hoses now but want to expand to four so we don't have to lug water to the upper barn and back fruit trees. This ikris 4-way Garden Hose Slitter is perfect. We have one hose running to our garden out back of the house and one to the raise beds and chicken coup out front. I now have a 3rd 100 foot hose that I just bought to run to the barn which I will hook up this weekend. I need to pick up one more for the garage. This will save us lots of work lugging water in 5 gallon buckets!

This is nicely made. Very heavy duty. The whole splitter is lead free metal with a rubber coating on most of it. The female end that we screwed our main hose into is metal not plastic and it has a thick rubber gasket to keep it from leaking. They covered it in a heavy rubber to protect your hands. It's much nicer to use that way. All four male ends are also metal. Each one can be turn on and off individually. They each have their own on/off valve. We have two shut off and two turned on in one of the pictures. All the threads worked correctly. This is made to last.

It is super easy to install. It can screw directly onto your outdoor spout by turning the plastic female handle. It's that simple. You can also relocate it to another place by using a garden leader hose extension. They sell them in all different sizes. We only needed a short 4' leader hose and found a cheap 4' washer hose that worked perfect for us. I wanted mine moved to a new location so we attached ours to the building using a hasp but normally you should use the 5 screw holes that are pre-drilled on the splitter to screw it right to the building. Three holes are between each male nozzle and one on each side of the female nozzle. I would recommend using spacers on the back side of the screws to sit the ikris 4 way Garden Hose Splitter out from the building. You would of course need longer screws to allow for the spacer. Doing this would allow you to screw and unscrew the hoses much easier. We just happened to use a hasp/bracket that I had on hand because I didn't have any spacers. It saved me a drive to the hardware store. If you want to just attach this to your existing outdoor nozzle no tools are required just twist it on and your done.

This works with no leaking at all. Water is a very important resource that should never be wasted so it's important to me this was made well and didn't leak at all.They have this at a great price on Amazon check it out today.

Glad I Owned One Today!







At 20000 mAh this HyperGear Dual USB Power Bank has enough power to charge my Motorola cell phone 10 times. It couldn't have come at a better time. Today while writing review I had to shut down after the first sentence due to severe thunder storms and tornadoes. With the power out I had to rely on this power bank to keep my phone charged so I could check on family members and elderly neighbors. It worked super great. I was so glad I had it when this happened. This is the perfect power bank to have in an emergency because it can charge your cell phone up to 10 times depending on the type of cell phone you have. If you have a good battery in your cell phone that last two days that means it could keep your cell phone charged twenty days! My battery has deteriorated over time and goes dead much faster but if I didn't spend a lot of time on it playing games or just chatting mine would last twelve hours. That means I could keep mine charged for ten days. That is amazing.

Sounds Beautiful & ECO Friendly







I originally planned to put this Brooklyn Basix Freedom Chime next to the Bleeding Heart plant by my PaPa's headstone in the cemetery because he loved the sound of a good quality tuned wind chime. However the hanger I had purchased to use wasn't tall enough. This chime is 15.7 inches long and it even looks longer when hanging. The bottom just barely missed the ground. I did a short video so you could hear how nice this chime sounds while I was at the cemetery before I relocated it to my garden until I can find a longer hanger. Now I get to enjoy the wonderful sound this Chime produces for a short time.Check out my video to hear what they sound like and read my complete review on Amazon by clicking on any highlighted hyperlink in this post.If you like my review of this product give my review a "Yes" vote please.

We have used the Big Boss Xhose Extra Large Aqua Water Jet Power Washer every day since it arrived on our door step.

Add A BIT OF COLOR TO YOUR LIFE JUST FOR FUN!




This is a great Crafts 4 All Permanent Fabric Markers starter pack from E. I Trading LTD for anyone who wants to do some fabric projects. I had a plain white Calvin Klein fabric tote that I wanted to jazz up a bit with some color so I traced out a flower design in the black marker to color in with bright colors. This set was perfect for this craft project.



I had several colors to choose from in this set of twelve permanent fabric markers. The colors are Black, Grey, Brown, Brilliant Blue, Sky Blue, Vivid Red,Grass Green, Forest Green, Orange, Lemon Yellow, Purple, and Pale Purple.
One of the features I liked about these Crafts 4 All Fabric Markers is the double tip. It has a wide tip for large areas you want to cover and a fine tip for writing and fine lines. You don't need to press down when using these markers and they cover easily and work fantastic. The colors showed bright and vivid.






If you follow the directions on the box you shouldn't have any bleeding problems and get the results your looking for in your project. Keep in mind the harder you press the more marker ink you will receive and depending on what type of fabric your using will depend on how much or how fast it will absorb into the material. With this project I was using a really thin cloth and the fabric soaked up a lot of the marker ink quickly. I also noticed it draws the ink easily which could cause bleeding. Knowing this I kept it just a little bit from the fine black outline that I had drawn and it worked great to keep the black outline from bleeding. I also stuck a piece of cardboard in between so the color would not go through to the other side.These permanent markers are Non Toxic making them safe for me to use with my Grandchildren. That's a must because children love markers.This keeps them safe and they can spend quality time crafting too. Keep in mind these being permanent you might want to save these for the older children to use. The fabric markers are also machine washable and fade resistant. I would use cold water because the company recommended not to use water over 30C/86F to prevent bleeding. It's better to be safe than sorry.One thing I would of done different if I was to do this project again with this type of material would be to apply the black fine line design then allow it to dry overnight before coloring it. Although I didn't experience a lot of bleeding I would not have had to be so careful about how close I came to the black design to avoid the black from bleeding. This is just my personal preference for this particular material. I can't wait to try them on jean material that I have for another project.I'm no artist but the colors did add a bit of fun to this drab tote. I added photos to give you an idea of what the colors looked like and to show how vivid the colors are on fabric. It applies so easy and quickly with no bearing down hard or going over several times.I really liked how well the Crafts 4 All Permanent Markers from E.I. Trading LTD worked. My only regret is not owning the 36 package because now I want even more color choices for a bigger project.

It's gets pretty steamy but not this mirror!





The Fogless Shower Mirror from Appealic comes in so handy for doing my home made facial sugar scrub I wish I had one of these years ago. I apply the sugar scrub using the mirror in the shower then rinse with warm water right in the shower. What a great way to start my shower and no more mess or wrapping a towel around my neck to protect my shirt while leaning over the sink. I like my shower fairly hot and so far it has not fogged up once. The bathroom gets pretty steamy and my big mirror over the sink gets foggy but this Appealic Fogless Shower Mirror doesn't.







The mirror has a suction cup that holds it secure to the wall of the shower. To lock it you turn it clockwise and to unlock it you turn it counter clockwise. It's that simple to attach it to your shower wall. It has a very strong hold. I like that it can be removed for easy cleaning of the shower wall or to reposition the mirror itself in a different location. I don't like to clean around objects and found it much easier to remove the mirror while cleaning the shower and then put it back when I'm finished. I like that it's not a permanent fixture for this reason. Plus if you remodel or move you still have it available to use in your new shower.
It has a 360 degree knuckle that the mirror is attached to so you can move it to any position for better visibility. This comes in handy especially when shaving sideburns and under the neck line. You can move the mirror so you can see much better. He really liked this feature.
Another feature this fogless mirror has is a place to hang your razor. I hate them lying on the side of the shower. With this it hangs neatly and safely on the mirror where it should be.
It's so convenient and what faster easier way to shave than in the shower. You don't have to worry about making a mess or cleaning the sink. When it comes to getting ready the easier and the faster the better. Am I right!?!


  

Enclosed was the Fogless Mirror, a pair of Tweezers, a small pair of Scissors in a black drawstring pouch and a small manual of how to install the Appealic Fogless Mirror in your shower. I am super happy with the performance of the mirror and the functionality of it as well.

It meets all my charging needs., May 31, 2016



Universal 3 Port USB Car Charger by TripleBooster [7.2A/36W] for cell phones, Tablets, PSP, iPhone, iPod, Camera, Etc - Comes with 3 USB-to-USB Cables, Cloth Bag, Manual, & Gift Box - All in one set! (Wireless Phone Accessory)



I have so many items that need charging in my vehicle that it was time for a bigger and better car charger. With cell phones, tablets, a GPS unit plus a FM Transmitter Universal Car Radio with Phone Holder that I use to play Pandora, iHeart Radio, and iTunes it was time for a 3 Port USB Car Charger. This Universal 3 Port USB Car Charger by Krispin Electronics is perfect for all my needs. Where it is universal I can use it for a multitude of products that I currently own such as my iPad, Camera, Car GPS, Handheld GPS, Cell Phones, FM Transmitter/Phone and more. I have at least two or three items charging all the time.
I took a video just to show you the components that I had charging today. Sorry about the sound quality I had the air conditioner running and the microphone was picking up the noise from my AC. I didn't realize it until i listened to it later.
The first item I was charging is a Garmin GPS that I use all the time. The second was my Motorola G Cell Phone. The third was an FM Transmitter/Phone Holder. I wanted to listen to iHeart Radio through my car stereo speakers while on a road trip which runs my phone down so I like to keep it charging while listening to music and use my GPS while charging that at the same time. No one wants their GPS battery to go dead while using it to navigate. This worked great for all three components. I plugged all three units in and off I went. It was so nice to be able to charge them all and not have to worry about a dead battery on any of the three units.
I like that they included 3 USB cables all with different ends. One Micro for androids such as my Motorola G Cell Phone, one 30 pin and one 8 pin both used for Apple products such as the iPhones and iPads.
This unit also came with a draw string bag to carry it all in. I put all the cables in the draw string bag and leave it in my console. That way while on the go no matter what needs charging chances are I have a USB Cable to fit it. That's real handy. It's also a nice way to store and keep them neat. 





This Universal 3 Port USB Car Charger by Krispin Electronics comes with a 100% Warranty for 18 months and a lifetime support where you can contact them with any issues you may have. I have used this product every day since the day I received it and I am thrilled at how well it charges all my devices.

Great for camping & yard work

SHVIRO Folding Hand Saw - Ideal Tree Pruning Tool for Your garden - High Carbon Steel Blade with Heat Treated Rugged Teeth - Durable and Easy to Use - 7 inch





I have so many trees that need to be pruned and the branches cut back that this SHVIRO Folding Hand Saw will come in handy all spring summer and fall. I live in the country and winter is harsh on the trees breaking tons of branches. I like to do a major clean up in the spring with lots of raking and even more pruning. I don't like using Loppers because they don't flush with the tree and most of the time it tears or rips the branch leaving stubs sticking out of the trees. I like the that the SHVIRO saws the branches flush to the tree leaving no nubs sticking out.



Most of the branches that this saw has been used for so far is approximately 1 inch in diameter. About the size of a quarter in comparison. It saws them quickly and easily. I wanted this SHVIRO Folding Hand Saw to cut branches low to the ground or to small to use a chainsaw to prune them without damaging the tree and this hand saw worked great for this.
It has a strong 7 inch steel blade with teeth that cut in both direction. This makes sawing much faster. The blade folds into its plastic handle which makes it light weight for carrying and sawing. It's also easy to stick in your back pocket or a backpack. It has a black button that releases the blade to open it. The plastic handle has 5 rubber circles down both sides to make holding onto the handle easier with less slippage.



The SHVIRO Folding Hand Saw will also make a great addition to my camping gear. I plan on storing mine in my camping gear that way I'll always have it when I'm off camping somewhere. It will come in real handy when making a small fire pit to cook hot dogs or to roast marshmallows to make smores.
It also comes with a 100% risk free guarantee with no questions asked.





It has worked wonderful for pruning small limbs and trees on my property and I'm happy with it's performance. You can purchase this item on Amazon.com.

Some Unique Wonderful Products For My Son & Daughter In-Law's Baby Shower



These Bandana Bibs by uBaby are just adorable. I'm about to be a Grandmother in just a few short weeks and I thought these Bandana Bibs by uBaby would make great bibs for my new Grandson. I just love the new style and the fun patterns they offered. The feather pattern is my favorite although I like them all.One feature that I liked most is the uBaby Bandana's fit for a very long time because they are adjustable. They have snaps in the back so you can adjust these bigger as the baby grows. Depending on the size of the baby I think these would fit up to size 24 months.
They are very soft to the touch which is important for babies sensitive skin. I was really pleased with how these were made.
This set also came with a bonus pacifier clip which is so handy and saves you from hunting for it and washing it on and off all day. It has a sturdy clip to hold it tight. This was a nice added bonus for sure.
I gave these to the parents to be at their baby shower and they were a big hit. Everyone had to check them out. They all wanted to know where I got them. I took a picture of my son showing off these adorable bids.

Another item that will come in real handy when there new bundle doesn't feel so well is the Non-Contact Forehead Digital Thermometer. I love the idea of being able to take the babies temperature and not having to disturb the baby while sleeping. Just aim the Non-Contact Forehead Digital Thermometer at the childs forehead and it will give you a read out. It also lights up so you can do this in the dark. Another feature I liked about this product. I always hated to turn on the light in order to read the temperature. I can quietly enter the nursery without turning on the light. Aim it at the forehead or below and behind the ear lobe if child is sleeping on their side. Make sure the hair is not in the way or that the child is sweaty in that area or you may not get an accurate reading. You want a dry exposed skin area with nothing between the scanner and the skin. I've tried this thermometer several times on family members to make sure it was working properly. It worked great every time and I'm super happy with this product.

The theme for my Son's baby shower was the Woodland/Camouflage. It came out wonderful and I love this Fox Storage bin for them to put the babies toy's in.The Fox matched perfect for the theme and will come in real handy for all the small hand toys and little stuffed animals. It's just the right size. It actually holds more than you would think. I used this also as the gift bag for all their other items I got them for their baby shower. I made 4 small baby blankets and put them in there along with the items above plus a Monitor set and a large baby book. It still had a little room left too.

Lolliz Colored Pencil Review


This set of LolliZ Colored pencils are wonderful. They come in a pack of 50 colors which with so many colors your bound to find just the right shade. This is what I liked a lot about this set. They also color adult coloring books without having to bare down hard which leaves indents and destroys the art work not to mention makes your hands hurt from pressing so hard.






My Niece is quiet the coloring artist for her age and loves to use these colored pencils to do her adult coloring books. She spends a lot of time on detail and picking out the colors to make her pictures pop.





Lolliiz pencils didn't seem to break easy and the color is centered perfectly in the pencil. These are of high quality and will bring her joy for a very long time to come. Although she used them to color adult coloring book pictures I think these would be good for lots of arts and crafts.
My Niece did an excellent job on her picture! I'm sure she will get a lot of enjoyment from these Lolliz Colored Pencils.

The Lumsing Harmonica 10400mAh Portable Power Bank Review & Giveaway

Welcome to exotic1, If you have followed my blog you know that translates to "Unique One". I love finding unique products to try and share with my family and friends. Today I'm excited to introduce you to Lumsing's Harmonica 10400mAh Portable Power Bank. 




For those that have never heard of a portable power bank battery it is a power source to charge electronics devices such as android phones, tablets, iPods, iPads and more during power outages or on the go. Living in the country when we lose power it can be days before our power is restored. It's important to have a nice power bank to keep our cell phones charged for emergencies. The Lumsing Harmonica 10400mAh Portable Power Bank came nicely packaged and included a USB cable and a protective carrying case with instructions. I immediately thought what a great gift this would make someone on my holiday list.



We do a lot of geocaching and nine times out of ten there is no power where we set up camp. That's when the power banks come in real handy. I like to have not just one but several power banks to take camping. This way I don't have to worry about my handheld GPS going dead. I can keep it charged so we don't get lost and we can continue to have fun geocaching. I can keep my android phone charged to keep in touch on Facebook and Twitter while sitting around the camp fire at night too. At bedtime I like to read on my kindle app on my iPad 2 to help me fall asleep and the power bank keeps it charged so although I'm enjoying nature by day I can also enjoy the tech life by night. 




The Lumsing Harmonica 10400mAh Portable Power Bank features two outputs. One output is 1.A the second is 2.1A that's a total of 3.1A which means it can charge two electronic devices at the same time too. That is fantastic because I was able to charge my iPad 2 and my cell phone at the same time. It also has an on/off switch. When you turn it on it shows 4 led lights. Each light indicates 25% of power available. If one light is on that means you have 25% , two lights on mean 50%, three lights on means 75%  and four lights mean fully charge at 100%. The lights blinks when charging so you know the unit is working. 





I wanted to make sure this power bank could fully charge both my devices so I put the Lumsing Harmonica 10400mAh Portable Power Bank to the test. I plugged in both devices. I checked it 4 hours later and my Motorola Moto G Phone was fully charged and the iPad 2 was at 58% charged (keep in mind an iPad 2 requires a lot of power). I checked it again 3 hours later and the iPad was fully charged. The battery life indicator light on the Lumsing Harmonica showed only 1 light lite which means it had less than 25% left. I knew at this point it would also charge my android phone several times   



One of the features I liked is the size and weight of this device. It was approximately the same width as my cell phone just longer which made it easy to hold onto. It also has a slight curve to it that also makes it easier to hold. It's called a Harmonica and it's shape actually reminds me of a Harmonica instrument.  To give you a better idea of the size I took a picture of it with a regular size playing card. The actual device measures 5.4" long by 2.3" wide by 0.8" thick. 





When I discovered Lumsing offered a "Portable Battery Combo 3 Haromonica 10400mAh Power Bank Series Package" I was thrilled because if your like me and need to take your tech gadgets with you no matter where you are and have family members that do to this combo pack is great for you. Buying the Combo 3 can save you money. It comes with 3 colors Black, White and the Champagne Gold. You can purchase the Combo 3 pk on Amazon right now for $45.99 with FREE SHIPPNG~!  Now that's a deal. If you only need one you can order just one on their web site here at Lumsing.
This also comes with a worry free 18 month warranty. I found working with Lumsing representatives to be prompt, courteous and such a pleasure to work with. 
The only thing that I can think of that would of made this product any better is if it had included a wall charger. I have one that is compatible that I can use but not everyone does. I like being able to recharge the power bank using my home outlet plug-in. Not many companies include them but in my opinion it would be nice and convenient if they did. 
I feel fortunate to have received one to review for my honest opinion and the good news is Lumsing is also going to give one away. You can enter using the Gleam widget below.
