I measured the noise level of this unit at 97dBA at arm’s length. That’s about as loud as a train going by a hundred feet away. If you pull into a campground at night and want to inflate something, you better have a bullet-proof vest on if you use this thing.

The hose is a convenient feature, especially for air mattresses. However, the unit does not come with any provision for stowing the hose, greatly increasing the likelihood that you will lose or damage it.

This unit uses a 6V sealed lead-acid battery. That means it feels heavy, thanks to the lead.

My unit arrived with a dead battery. If you’ve ever had a dead battery in your car, and then found that it never really was as good afterwards, you’ll understand why lead-acid batteries are usually shipped in a charged state (unless they are shipped dry).

In addition, after a full day of charging, the unit still did not work. A few seconds of charging corrected this, indicating that there is some other defect.

Despite these shortcomings, this is a useful unit, assuming you get one that is defect-free.

This works, but the nozzle doesn’t quite fit in one of our Coleman air mattresses, so I have to hold the nozzle in the valve with one hand while holding the pump with the other. It fits snugly in the valve of our other (older) Coleman air mattress.

The JBL On Stage Micro portable docking sound system is the perfect travel partner for your iPod. Imagine the convenience of taking the JBL On Stage Micro system on the road or enjoying the sound anywhere you happen to be. Connected to your iPod, MP3 player, computer, or other music source, it produces clean, powerful sound. It charges your iPod and also provides a USB pass-through to connect to your computer. With the JBL On Stage Micro system’s IR remote control, you have all the power with your digital music experience.

This speaker has surprisingly good sound (for its size) for most songs. However for some songs, there is an annoying bass resonance that heavily distorts the sound.

For most Rock songs, it will be fine, but don’t expect this to be good for classical, piano, or any other music that uses more of the spectrum. It will also sound bad for Rock songs that feature a bass guitar playing near the top of its range.

I like that JBL included the remote and a carrying case. It works great as an iPod dock. It sounds much better than my laptop’s built in speakers.

I needed some speakers for my Mac Pro. I just needed a boost so I could hear my audio books without pressing my ear to the CPU. I chose the JBLs for their price and size. I wasn’t expecting surround sound quality.

I was pleasantly surprised with the JBLs. The sound is good and, for their size, packs a much better wallop than I expected.

I have them sitting behind my monitor and have had no buzzing or humming as experience by others.

The adjustable volume knob is a nice feature, although I wish it wasn’t as slippery. I have to hold onto the speaker to get a good grip.

I’ve listened to classical, rock, audio books and jazz so far and I’m very happy with the performance. I’ve even edited sound effects and can hear everything I need to without putting on headphones. I am happy with my purchase.
