Used it once on my wife's car-- she very seldom drives it in general and one day the dome light was left on and so the battery was totally depleted. With one lengthy slow-charge, her battery seems fully charged even after sitting for another week. You absolutely need an electrical outlet close by though!

Ive used it to wash two cars and clean red sidewalk chalk from a cinderblock wall. The red chalk came off clean. The newer car had pollen stuck all over the paint. A car detailer told my wife her paint was ruinned and she would need a new paint job. The pollen came right off. The older vehicle has peeling clearcoat that was looking ragged because i hadn't pressure washed it in years. The flaking paint came off and I was able to rub a good wax layer over everything. I was surprized when much of the paint discoloration was also removed. After only a couple uses, the machine has paid for itself.

I only used it once, and it did a fine job.

Only used it once so far.. but it worked as it is supposed to!

Like I said in the headline, it played one time on my house CD player. After that I got "error" messages, never did work in the car. As I recall, 'twas good blues (the one time I got to hear it).

I bought it but only used it once on someone else's vehicle - so I feel pretty lucky.  Still, better safe than sorry and I'm happy with my purchase.

I have used this product only once on an old leather coat.  It worked wonders, but I do need another application to some areas that I didn't cover adequately.  I plan to use this on the leather seats in our SUV and Truck as soon as the weather cooperates and we have spring clean up.

Yea it seems to be built well. It has some heft to it. I upon opening the package was trying to see exactly how to work it. Not everyone has used one in the past, we all have our 1st times with a tool. And while "playing" with it I did work out how to use it. Just wish it came with a quick user guide.

I have used it on one car rear passenger window at work and did the trick just fine. (keys in car, dog inside.) I used it once on a thin piece of tin to get a metal screw started, again worked fine.

I don't know how much use or life this item has but I don't believe I'd use it daily and expect it to last. Once in a while though it's fine.

I've only used it for one thing so far and it was to attach a custom badge to the steering wheel. It worked surprisingly well. When I first put on my badge with the usual 3m sticky glue that comes pre-attached, it was wobbly. But now by using a small strip of this double tape, it sticks on solid with minimal wobbliness (only wobbles a little when you try hard). So for now, I don't have experience using this on heavy items or exterior of the car, but I can say it'll work well for interior stuff.

I bought two of these for holiday gifts but my husband and I ended up using them in our cars-something I hadn't thought of-if you have a newer car with a touchscreen stereo or navigation system-you can't really use this in the CD slot because it hangs down a bit and blocks the screen.
I use it in my car with a normal stereo system so it works well-you have to be careful tightening it-it can slip out of the the CD slot.  However, barring slippage with a lot of use(I just reinsert and tighten again) -I do LOVE the handiness of my phone in this holder for talking hands free and following directions and such.  All in all, worth it if you have the right kind of car!

Let me first say that i am not a "car guy" I don't spend weekends, days or even idle time hanging out in my garage.  I just wanted a quality product that i could check my air pressure with occasionally.  I have used this product perhaps 5 times over the last year; 4 tires per car simple math tells me that this product failed after less than 50 uses. Granted it has been over a year but i did not see a sell by date on the package!  I would not buy this again

I use this only after my car is completely clean.

If you do a lousy job cleaning your car don't expect this to be a good purchase.

One day I just rinsed off my car without properly washing. The water blade caught some dirt on the back bumper and very tiny, minuscule scratches on the top coat.  Next time I washed and waxed properly and they went away but I learned my lesson because my laziness could have caused a less desirable situation.

This is a great product if used correctly!  I use a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Meguiar-s-Water-Magnet-Drying-Towel/dp/B0009IQZFM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Meguiar's Water Magnet Drying Towel</a>&nbsp;after I lift off all the heavy beads of water with the water blade.

I have been using this for my Accord, Odyssey, and PWC's (jet ski's) for about two years.  I noticed that on all three, it tends to dry out any black plastic trim pieces on your vehicles, making them look white/oxidized.  I thought Meguiar's would make a good product but I would not recommend this to anyone.  Anyone else have a recommendation for a car wash that will not do this?

These work great until they come apart and fly off your car while driving! Very startling. So glad it didn't hit anyone behind me and I had enough presence of mind to turn the wipers off as soon as I realized what was happening so the part it clips onto didn't scratch my window. Once is a fluke, right? Except that this brand also did this on my husband's truck, so two times. Won't be buying this brand again.

When I first tried this in my car, I was excited to find it working fine. After the first use though, it stopped. I opened the device and had to bend a piece back into place to get it working again. (It's working now; well see how long)

We have been using it in California and often find it most helpful.  On the other hand, it often becomes inert and in the middle of a trip cannot provide further instructions.  After unplugging the unit, it comes back to life.  Also it led us to a road that was marked "EMERGENCY VEHICLES ONLY; Do not enter."  That is not helpful.  We needed to backtrack several miles and could not use the  255W for many miles after that.  It was determined to have us make a U turn to take the road that was not meant for private cars.

Product works great. However only one car seems to care.
