An incredible power station. – Ocean Technology’s UNITEK 10-Port(with 1 Port QC 2.0) USB Charger Charging Station for Multiple Device with SmartIC Tech.

If you have a family of electronics, you need this charging station. It is powerful, and oh so handy to have and use! There are a total of 10 USB ports on this charging station from Unitek, sold by Ocean Technologies. Each port can deliver a charge up to 2.4A, and 1 port is a QC 2.0A port. This is a 60W unit. This port has a different color inside of it, so easy to see. It is the port all the way on the right. All the ports offer a nice snug fit. The power cord comes in 2 pieces and attaches into the left side of this stand. This is the coolest stand too. It comes with 10 plastic dividers, that push into the grooves on top of the unit. You can set them up any way you want, or leave the off all together. With them on, you can stand your charging items between those dividers. I put several on, in a wider configuration, and was able to stand my power banks up between them, while charging them. I love how organized that is. It takes up so much less space this way as well. Since each port delivers so much power, you can actually charge a lot of items at one time. Most of my items require the larger amps, so this is perfect for me. I can charge phones, tablets, batteries, and power banks, all at one time. This is what they said about the QC port: “The 1 charging port with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0, which allow certain Qualcomm Snapdragon based devices charge up to 75% faster than devices that use conventional charging methods.” I think that’s pretty impressive, myself. This unit is larger, but does not have a built in fan. Even so, it only gets a little warm to the touch while charging. It comes with a US plug, but can accept voltage worldwide: 100-240V input. So, if you do a lot of traveling, just bring a plug adapter with you, and you are good. This charging station is even energy efficient. It received the highest rating from the U.S. Department of Energy of DOE 6. I like knowing that. It’s a smart charger, and supplies what you need to your unit, as well as, it won’t over charge your item. That is an important feature as well. So far so good for me with this charger. It is performing perfectly, and I am loving it.

Increase the value of your home, and make your life better at the same time, with Topgreener’s 24W Ultra-High Speed Dual USB Smart Charging Receptacle, 15A TR.

We are ruled by our electronics nowadays. Ok, it might not be that bad, but our home wiring does need to be updated to meet our modern day needs. I hate looking for adapters. That, and they tend to be bulky, and easily knocked out of the socket. It’s been more than once, where I thought my tablet or phone was charging, to find out that the adapter, had been pulled slightly out of the socket. No charging had taken place. We have other Topgreener outlets, and we love them. I was thrilled to be able to review their 24W high speed dual USB charging receptacle. It is a tamper resistant outlet as well, which is great if you have little kids. They won’t be able to put tiny things into the outlet, shocking themselves. There are 2 high speed USB outlets as well as 1 3-prong plug, in this unit. The 2 USB ports were done well. Your USBs will have a nice, snug fit, with perfect charging. They are 4.8A total output between the 2. These ports are smart ports as well. They recognize your device, and deliver the power it needs to charge it, and nothing more. For example, an IPhone uses around 1A to charge, whereas my Note 5 likes 2A. It installs easily. You do need to provide your own wall plate. The USB modules are even replaceable. The top of the unit lifts off if you use a flat head screw driver to pry it up from the side of it. The instruction sheet that comes with this unit is really easy to understand and follow. With the wires the white is the neutral, the black is the hot, and the green is the ground. Like I said, easy to install. Lol, make sure you turn the power off before switching out your outlet. They even provide a 2 year warranty with this product.

It’s so nice to not have to use adapters. It makes for a cleaner look as well. Outlets like this one just make it better. Especially if you have a counter top area where you always charge your items. Or bedside, at each side of the bed, for the two of you to charge your phones and tablets, while you sleep. You really can’t get more convenient. With a little investment, you really do up the value of your home as well.

Time to be louder! – Pyle Voice Amplifier PA MP3 Bluetooth Speaker.

Sometimes you just need to be a little louder. This new toy from Pyle will definitely let you do that to. It is a small, and lightweight personal amplifier, Bluetooth player, recorder, and FM radio. You will get 1 charging cable, 1 unit, and 1 headset in your package. Do not lose the charging cable, it is not a micro USB cable. Once it’s charged up, it’s fairly easy to use. It pairs very quickly as Pyle Audio and no code is needed to pair. It gets really loud, lol. Be careful not to get the microphone close to the amplifier. You will get this deafening high pitched squeal sound; it’s horrible! This unit has a belt clip on it for easy carry. So, you can walk around with the headset on, and have the freedom of your hands. If you are using this as an amplifier to give a class, or a presentation, you can still use your hands to show displays or go over charts and graphs. The Bluetooth mode plays your music, or audio books quite well. There are buttons to go back or forth through your playlist. The volume control is the on/off turning knob on the top of the unit. The mode button is the multipurpose button. Press and hold it to change the mode. It does tell you what mode, plus it displays the mode on the LCD screen, on the front of it. You can also save your radio stations to designated buttons, on the front of the unit. If you supply your own micro SD card, you can record and playback on it too. You can also play your own music from your micro SD card. My husband loves to sing, so he is definitely using it for Karaoke as well. The FM radio is by far my least favorite feature on this unit. The volume control isn’t great on this machine. It’s easy to get it very loud, and almost off, lol, but in-between is not that doable. Especially with the radio. There is an antenna to pull out which does help with the FM reception. As a PA system, I think it works great. It’s loud and clear. The headset is lightweight and comfortable on. It is also very adjustable too. They have an FCC disclaimer on their ad, and let’s just say, I’m not happy about all the control there is on everything nowadays, lol. So, Here is their disclaimer:

“ Consumer Alert: Most users do not need a license to operate this wireless microphone system. Nevertheless, operating this microphone system without a license is subject to certain restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection from interference received from any other device. Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules are subject to change. For more information, call the FCC at 1-888- CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCC’s wireless microphone website at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones.”

Overall, this is a great personal PA system. It’s fun to sing on, especially since you can record. You can’t go wrong with Bluetooth either. You can’t beat it for the price.

Modernize your home with Topgreener’s TU21548A 4.8A Duplex USB Charger Outlet Ultra High Speed, Smart USB Ports, 24W, 15A.

I am not new to Topgreener Electrical outlets. We have a few, and are quite happy with them. Not only is the company easy to work with, but their products are also well made. This particular outlet is a 24W, 15A outlet. It has 2, three prong outlets, as well as 2 USB high speed charging ports. These charging ports have a combined 4.8W output. Our outlet has been working like a charm. Since it is a go to outlet, we have it fully loaded, just like in the video, lol. It is well used, and it works like a charm. I can tell you that my son, who is a commercial electrician, installed it for me. He stated that the unit was very well made. He was impressed by it. He showed me side by side, the old, regular outlet we changed out, and the new outlet. The new outlet is much more substantial. It goes into the wall much deeper than the regular one. We did not have to modify our opening to fit it in any way, phew. The wires on the outlet are green (ground), blue (hot), and brown (neutral). The USB ports are smart ports too. It will read what your device needs, and gives it to them. My items normally need the higher power like 2 to 2.4, so these ports are perfect for us. So, you won’t have to worry about your electronics being overcharged. The USB ports compatibility is: 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0 devices. So, you could do an IPhone in one port, and a larger item in the other port. Let’s say you have a larger pad that requires 3.0A, and the IPhone charges on 1, so you’ll still be good to go. Our outlet never gets hot to the touch, even when fully loaded. We have never had it trip our breaker. It has been working wonderfully! When it arrives it has three interchangeable outlet plates: white, light almond, and black. You will, however, have to provide your own wall plate. Since my son is an electrician, he had one on his truck for me. I’m spoiled, lol. We have nothing negative to say about this product. It has been nothing but perfect for us in every aspect. It’s such an easy way to modernize your home. To top it off, if you have little kids, this unit is also tamper resistant. Your little ones won’t be able to just shove little things in it. It’s a safer plug to have around.

Strong Bluetooth Speaker. – Apie’s portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker.

My husband loves Bluetooth speakers. We go through a lot of them, lol. Needless to say, I was so happy to be able to review this Apie 10W portable Bluetooth speaker. Aesthetically, it’s quite sporty too. Bluetooth speakers are great, because they can go anywhere with you, as long as you remember to charge it up. My older son also uses one all of the time in his van. He is a commercial electrician, and has a new van. It has a stock radio, with no ports. He doesn’t even have a 12V outlet. So, he listens to audio books a lot on a Bluetooth speaker. It needs to be small, but loud. This one fits the bill. It only measures at approx.. 8 ¾’s inches long by 2 ¾” deep and wide. So, it is highly portable. It is also a 10W speaker, so it can get pretty loud. This is a very user friendly speaker as well. It has separate buttons for pretty much everything, as well as so many functions. On the back of this speaker you will find your aux port, USB in port, micro USB in port, on/off switch, and micro SD card slot. On the top of the speaker you will find a pause/phone button, mode button, fast forward and rewind buttons, as well as volume up and volume down buttons. With the mode button you can choose between Bluetooth, micro SD, FM radio, and Aux in. There is a little blue LED that moves to your selection. This speaker talks to you in regards to saying where you are: Bluetooth, Bluetooth Disconnected, Radio, and the like. It does not state the telephone call coming in, it rings. It does have a mic, so you can accept calls through the speaker as well. It does not have an LCD screen, so you just move the back and forth buttons to scroll through stations, and choose. The music quality on this speaker is great. It is loud and clear. It doesn’t matter what I play, be it Italian music to rap, to country, I enjoyed it all. The bass and instrumental are clear, and steady. You can get the typical 10 meters away from the speaker, but it needs to be in room. If you go around corners, or behind walls, the signal will drop. The internal battery is large at 2200mAh. It can go for about 8 – 10 hours. The louder you play the music, the less battery time. Also, the louder the music, the clarity is down a little. I find that very normal wit Bluetooth speakers, and this is better than a lot of them. I had a hard time finding FM stations as well. This is more common for me. I live near a Military base, and I need a strong antenna to get a radio signal. It comes up as DY22 to pair, and no code is needed. All the ports worked well. I had no operational issues with my speaker at all. It’s a great overall speaker, especially at its size, and it’s being 10W.
