Would not use in even the most imaginary of emergencies

Chase did not even work.

I expect a certain quality with all things Paw Patrol, so I thought I would be the hero this Christmas after gifting these walkie talkies.  I sadly was not.  It may be unrealistic to expect a gift to earn the love of a child, but it is a fact that a gift can bring disappointment and tears.

This particular model got so hot that it burned my hand when unplugging. It had stopped functioning as well not charging our devices.

We were traveling cross-country and used it for an iPhone & an iPad mini. Threw it away when stopped for gas. I see they have a newer model that is labeled better so don't accidentally charge the wrong thing in the wrong outlet, but the trick is to have color coded cables, not 2 white or 2 black or no way to know which is plugged into the correct port.

Good for emergency, but not for everyday use. I have a miniature Schnauzer and the diaper is not big enough to contain more than 1 1/2 dog urine. Also fiber seems weak and sometimes urine permeates the diaper.

The little unreadable black sensitivity dial adjusts with the slightest degree of turn, often inadvertently, from beeping all the time in mid-air to not identifying a known hot wire that it's physically touching. Too finicky to have any idea what it's telling you. As a way to confirm that wire is not hot before working, which is why I use these things, it is downright dangerous. I'm baffled by the positive reviews that made me choose it. I should have trusted the negative ones that report the same experience I've now had. Might be good for finding wires hidden in a wall. You can calibrate it to a known hot wire with some screwing around, just be careful not to put it in a pocket or look at it funny or the dial will move and it will beep on wires with no current or not beep on ones with. I bought and I'm very pleased with the more expensive Fluke, which is far better than this one.

Im a security systems installer, i work in dark areas most the time. I was excited when i received the light. I put the batterues in and it worked fine. 1st time using it on a job for some reason it wouldn't work. Changed the batteties. Still nothing. Smacked it around a little and it worked... for a few seconds. The battety connection inside the light isn't on right. Had to fix it myself. Not what i expected from a light advertised as emergency use.

The concept of being alerted when a child moves or is removed from a protected area is very ingenius.  The failure of a system to achieve such a claim is extremely dangerous by producing only a false sense of security for the adult guardian or parent if the system falls short of those claims .  This is the case for the Child Guard Electronic Child Leash.  Although the system worked at times, it was extremely unreliable by giving false alerts or no alert at times when that alert would be needed the most.  Although the price was very reasonable, I feel that the the dangerous assumptions of reliability by the concerned adult for this product , could lead to a tragic situation if the product failed to alert that guardian or parent at the most critial time.  The product would command a much higher price if it performed the functions claimed in a much more reliable manner.

DO NOT PURCHASE - WITHIN 10 SECONDS OF PLUGGING IN TO ELECTRICAL OUTLET, I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING THEN HAD SPARKS AND TONS OF SMOKE. I am no electrician - but after unplugging and placing in the middle of the driveway where nothing could ignite, I looked at the construction - and it appears the wire connectors they use are those heat up tubes - one problem is that the wires are NOT secured in the tubing (so the heating temperature did NOT mold the tubes to the wires AT ALL) - perhaps I am wrong about the material used to 'secure' the various connections down the light string, but whatever was used did NOT hold the thin silver wires in place...  and apparently, although low voltage I would assume, a fire (or in more serious situations, electrocution) results when the positive and negative wires touch (there is a third wire - but I have a hard time believing that is a ground wire - if it is, well, it was not secured either)...  anyway, skip my whole lack of knowledge of electrical circuits - JUST KNOW THIS IS A HAZARD.

I planned to use this on vacation to make sure my mini-escape artist didn't disappear while everyone else slept.  The battery compartment is not secure at all and it would not be safe to use this around small children.  I ended up buying a difference brand with a secure battery compartment.

Living with the subzero winters here in Wisconsin, I purchased this for my 2007 Jeep Commander. I thought it was a great idea to get out of the cold faster.

Sadly, I have encountered many of the issues others talk about.

Within the first two weeks of using it, I began seeing "vacuum leak" warnings. Even so, I continued to work with it for a few more months.

I finally had to get rid of it when while washing my windows I heard gas pouring out the filler door. After examining the the cap I found that the flapper door had broken and created a situation where fuel was diverted from the gas tank and out to the ground.

Very disappointing and extremely dangerous!

A/C adapter constantly popped out of the socket. The Bluetooth connection was very inconsistent, even with barely a foot of distance between the phone and the adapter. The device speaks annoyingly whenever anything happens (connection, disconnection, power on). This device could be useful in some super specific situation, but it's apparent that a simple male to male 3.5mm cable is the simpler solution.

You would think this radio would be great for emergencies but think again! Its a power hog and burns up energy real fast. I placed some regular batteries in it and it ate them up in 3 days while not even being turned on! I've learned that if I want to use reg alk batteries then I need to only put them in it while in use and take them out after because if not it eats them up quickly! They really should redesign this model so it doesn't consume so much juice! The old model FR-200 I think was its number burned for 4 days back in June after a horrible storm that left us powerless for four days! Light seems decent and I like the design but I hate the way it burns up energy fast...I'm betting you'd have to constantly crank it during an emergency which basically makes it useless compared to a unit I  used 4 days [radio & light] & burned strong!

unfortunately my fr 200 died on me and had to be replaced [something happened to the power switch] by the comp. the one they sent in its place holds up energy wise  but fails in conparason speaker wise and the fact it doesn't have shortwave only weather band/am/fm!

I have never actually had to use these in an emergency situation. They are cheap and very easy to store in a hiking pack or bug out bag. I strongly suggest having a few on hand just in case. They can also be used to insulate a shelter or keep a heating source to one room

For your safety, PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS SIREN!! I recently purchased this siren for my POV Jeep Wrangler. I was going to pair it up with the Abrams 100 watt slim speaker included in this bundle. After installing everything, double checking all of my wiring, grounds, etc. I plugged the recommended 10 amp fuse into the back of the unit. Just as I was about to test the speaker, the control unit caught on fire. Luckily for me, I did not have everything bolted into place and was able to quickly remove it before my vehicle was damaged. Although this siren bundle has a majority of good reviews. I truly hope most of you read this and take this review to heart. For your own safety, and the safety of those you aim to help when using this siren, DO NOT BUY. I do not blame the seller for a faulty unit, but hopefully they will make the refund process hassle-free. You have been warned.

The seller advises that 5 minutes of cranking should provide enough power for an emergency phone call of 1-2 minutes.  Perhaps seeing "American Red Cross" in the name I should have realized this product was for emergency use only, but I was expecting more than to be able to charge a phone for a one minute call.

I ordered this for my Prius thinking that it would be perfect for emergency jump starts if my 12V battery ran down again.  However, when I took it out and plugged in the adapter cable, I could see smoke immediately starting coming out from the adapter cable - a clear sign of a short circuit.  I unplugged it and tried it a few minutes later - no smoke this time but after a few minutes the jump battery unit got very hot and the top of the case started to melt.  I unscrewed it and found that it contains 20 AA non-rechargeable alkaline batteries.  I would definitely avoid this product because it appears to have poor quality control and recharging it according to instructions could be dangerous since alkaline batteries are not designed to be recharged.

We purchased this for my son at Christmas. After three days the servo stripped so we ordered a new one and he installed it. Then when he was charging the battery, it caught fire.  Luckily he was sitting there working on it when it happened and the battery was on the tile floor, so no damage or harm was done, but it was very close to a very BAD situation.  If he had not been in the room to unplug it and put out the fire, I don't want to think about what might have happened.

Once I read that some other people had the same experience, I realized our situation was not isolated so I decided to also write about our experience.  I can't recommend this product it. . .

I'll ask my son to take some picture of the burned battery and I'll try to get them uploaded.
