Good buy if you understand limitations

BEFORE you buy:

- You need 2 adjustable wrenches, in the least.
- The "no wobble bolt" uses a self tightening screw on the hitch. Unless you change it, the default hardware will mean you have to get on hands and knees and use 2 wrenches to get it off every time (so if your car is parked publicly in an area of theft risk like a city, it's a pain, gotta take it off)
- This, by default, is for a 2 inch trailer hookup. If you don't have that, you need some modifier for this kit.

AFTER you buy:

- The largest bolt is the no wobble bolt
- The three that are the same size length and shaft width, are for assembly.
- There's another bolt that's the same size as the other 3, but has a modified shaft, it's used for converting down for a no wobble pin

Bottom line: ok for the price, if you can afford more you may get better results.

Perfect for my limited use, great price compared with "professional" versions.

The price was right.  Shipping was fast.  But, the distance from the internal unit and the outside unit was much more limited than I expected... just a few feet.  The loudest volume was loud enough but might not be okay for a large home.  Since the range was very limited, this "problem" could not be resolved with multiple units.  We have a stucco exterior, so the adhesive approach did not work.  I had to drill holes in the plastic back (they were not pre-drilled) to use the alternate screw mounting.  I am satisfied, thus the 4 rating, but this might not work for everybody.

Decent value for the money, but the probes are too short to reach into a typical household receptacle.  Would have rated it five stars if the probes had been long enough to contact in the household receptacle.  Overall a good buy.

It's good enough to solve the problem of not enough outlets.  Only thing that I wasn't expecting is the limitation on the port usage.  One port is for charging Apple items, and the other is for charging everything else.  When I first connected the cables, I had them backwards and found charging/syncing challenges.  It was resolved easily enough - once I read the insert details, but I really wanted to run and iPhone on one port and a iPad on the other.  Oh well.  Truly, I don't think it's a big enough issue to fret over, but feel that it is a detail that should be clarified.
When/if I run into the outlet shortage again, I would order this item again.

very good optics, but you just have to know their limitations and what they could be used for, but all in all a very good purchase and I happy to have it in my camera case.

I had high expectations for this and for the most part, it works very well with one significant limitation and one major concern. Setup is pretty simple and once it's setup, it works great. I was originally very frustrated because it would regularly drop off of my network and I had to factory reset it and set it all up again. I found the cause was my router's self-healing (it basically reset itself every morning). Since I turned that off, the iReceiver has worked flawlessly. I had the same problem with AirFloat running on my jailbroken phone although I didn't have to go through the convoluted setup every time to get it working again...seems like something in the third-party Airplay implementations that are out there.

The significant limitation that I have with the iReceiver is that it can't be renamed...or at least I can't figure out how to do that. If I could rename it, I'd buy four more but this limitation means I can only have one of these on my network. The major concern I have is that this device stores your Wi-Fi password in clear text accessible through it's web control panel. That control panel is password protected but I have no idea how secure it is.

Good quality and performance.  Not possible for me to give 5 stars only because I'm not really putting it through the paces - it's a more ancillary scenario that was more about the form factor and meeting some low level requirements.  But, seems it would scale easily.

its LONG. longer than you probably need, but if you don't want to deal with "too short" than this is a solid buy

This is a pretty good product as long as you understand its limitation and don't abuse it too much. You get a total of 4 weight bags (each bag has 2 pouches) and according to the manufacturer, you can put a total of 30 lbs of sand between all the bags combined. Someone suggested in one of the reviews to not just dump sand into the pouches because the zippers aren't super watertight. I suggest filling quart freezer zip lock bags, fill them about 3/4 of the way, put some duct tape on the opening and insert 3 quart bags per pouch (you'll need a total of 24 quart bags); they fit perfectly into the pouches with some wiggle room. I purchased a 30lb bag of sand for $3 at Home Depot! By doing this, you're putting extra insurance in case the product rips open (because you'll know you'll be tossing around these weight bags into your vehicle when done). Or you can dump the sand directly into the pouch and hope it doesn't leak from the weak zippers (ever try vacuum sand from a carpet? yeah...not very fun).

THE GOOD:
-Neat concept, specifically made for canopies
-Nice velcro straps to hold them to the canopy legs
-OK for LIGHT winds (i'm talking 10-15mph max)

THE BAD:
-Doesn't quite hold the canopy down if Katrina is rolling around, not meant for medium to heavy winds. In fact, the box altogether says that this product isn't intended for wind purposes, ironic since this is why you probably want these...
-The material is 600D polyester, it's OK, but feels like it can rip open after some abuse (specially at the bottom, it would be nice if it was "double" reinforced
-The zipper isn't watertight so if your sand spills, there's a pretty good chance it will spill out

I thought about buying big 30lb canvas bags filled with sands and using tie downs to hold down the canopy, which would probably work better, but I'm not usually using this on anything other than light wind and the bags would be quite heavy to carry around. If your goal is maximum hold down power, the canvas bags is probably a good idea, though a tad more expensive.

Overall, I'm happy with them. Just keep in mind that they really only work for light wind situations (under 15mph).

EDIT:  Not sure why, but the pictures were taken down or failed to upload despite two attempts.  Oh well, they were just zip lock bags with 3/4 sand in them.

Not a bad unit - so far.  The only reasons I don't give it 5 stars is because I haven't had it long enough to comment on durability, and because there are limitations on how you can "rotate" or "clock" the USB receptacle due to the fact of how the face plate is molded.  I needed to mount my unit vertically in a race trailer.  However, all told, for the price I think so far it's a good value.

Worth the price. But look at the size. It maybe too small for most people

It's very important to read the other reviews here and read some online articles before buying. These DO NOT work in every home, and you'll have no way to tell if they'll work in yours until you try. But when they do work -- and they usually do -- they're great. The one thing I'd emphasize is that the speed you get in practice isn't EVEN CLOSE to what the manufacturers advertise. The manufacturers have devised a ratings loophole the size of a cruise ship that enables them to vastly exaggerate the speed you'll actually get. 500 Megabits per second? Not even. In practice, you'll get in the 30s or maybe low 40s maximum. That's fast enough for the vast majority of home users, and fast enough for a single Netflix UHD stream, but if you need higher speeds, you MUST hire an electrician and have her physically run an Ethernet cable through your walls, no way around it.

There is an error in description.  Only extends to 6.5' . Good buy if that's okay.

Beautiful looking unit. Design is good because it permits many USB flash drives to be connected to the hub simultaneously. Hubs which have the slots oriented like a dashed line - - - - tend to have the slots too close together. Even some of the larger plugs overcrowd these. Power supply is very heavy, obviously containing plenty of metal, which suggests heavy-duty construction and a high ampacity. Packaging was excellent and environmentally friendly (cardboard, with minimal plastic). Would have given it 5 stars, but I did discover that it has a limitation. I originally purchased this unit to expand the number of USB ports available on my Patriot PBO media player. The Hootoo unit did NOT work with this media player. A D-Link brand USB3 hub does indeed work with this media player. Nice little unit, aesthetically pleasing, and plenty of USB plugs for the money.

My level of satisfaction is greatly tempered by the limitations I expected to see based on the price I paid and the model I chose.  This was a good buy for me, but I didn't go into it blind, I read up about them and knew it couldn't do everything the ads make it look like it can do.

It does have all the feature listed in the advertising, probably including the range, under extremely ideal conditions, but if you really need to have it work as advertised at the longer ranges, you are bound to be disappointed.

165 feet is a pipe dream most of the time, but if you're indoors, measuring most rooms, (not auditoriums), and can reflect off of clean white walls, it will give you fast accurate measurements.  At half the distance, 80 feet, it's real easy to get good readings.

If you step outside at any time when the sun it out, it becomes almost useless.  First of all you can't see where it's pointed, the laser just isn't that bright, and second, it can't see the laser's reflection well enough to get a reading.  Ad dawn and dusk, it might work well, but otherwise, forget it.

It also has problems with many surfaces, so for instance, using against dark objects, frequently brings the range down so far that it's almost useless.

The literature does a poor job describing it's multilingual capabilities, it can be set to read out in feet and inches, 6'10" 15/16 inches, or 6.5645 inches, just inches, or metric, which helps a lot if you if you need one or another.

It does have more features than most other equivalently priced models, and seems to be pretty rugged.  It's menu is easy to figure out, even for guys like me who really don't like to read directions.

I measure up rooms and equipment a lot, and this does that very well.  I wish it worked better outdoors, but knew better before I bought it, and that doesn't stop me from enjoying it's speed and functionality.  There is nothing more satisfying than getting very fast accurate measurements across equipment you'd rather not hang a tape over, or up or down into places you'd rather not go.

It makes easy work out of jobs that were real challenges with tape measures because all it needs is enough room for the tiny laser dot to get from where you are to what you want to measure.  Problems like figuring out how far you are from the end of a filthy attic becomes child's play when you don't have to get a tape to the other side of the attic. The laser never bends and falls because you are over extending it, and the end of the laser never gets caught under something as you reel it back in.  In less time than you can wind your old tape back in, you can take your next reading.

I do wish it's record of readings was longer, and I do wish the laser had a higher setting, but then again, wasn't willing to pay more, so I'm happy with what I have.

Good Value. Expandable feature is very limited (expands by < 1/2") Don't order them tight in the waist expecting lots of stretch.
