Why no reviews For a product that's number 5 seller, why hasn't anyone reviewed it? I am thinking about getting a couple as presents but need personal opinions and reviews first.

Apparently it's small enough to fit in the glove box, and jumping a car is one of it's main functions but so far no reviews so I will not buy it. And I was thinking of buying four too. It's #2 today. Well at least they are honest by not having the manufacture not post fake comments decorating their product.

Yeah, I saw where it said "drained" battery, but while researching these types of rechargers I saw another one that said "recharges drained batteries" but a few sentences later says, "don't use on discharged batteries" which I'm assuming means don't use this on dead batteries. Why can't they just SAY this works on completely drained batteries or not? Or am I just being too cautious? I'd hate to get this and have someone I love depend on it getting them out of a jam only to find out that welllll, it's not QUITE that good, yanno?

I was wanting to buy 3 of these units, for daughter, S.O. and mom, but I know some of them you can't use on a drained battery (say you leave your lights on in a parking lot for hours) and that's more what I'm looking for. Nothing like coming out to a dark, deserted lot and your car won't start even when you have AAA you have to wait...all alone ::shiver:: I guess I'll also wait and see if more feedback might come in. At the worst I can always go to a "store" and buy it :(

"Give your car battery a boost from inside the comfort of your car with Simple Start new from Black & Decker. Being stranded with a drained car battery can cause anyone to panic!"Anyway we got our first review, now is it genuine or someone from B&D;?

I agree with what's been posted. I'd like to get it for a gift for someone, but have several unanswered questions. How long does it retain it's charge? How many times can it be used before being recharged (ie, can it jump start your car twice on the same day)? Does it have to be recharged by plugging it into a wall outlet, or can it be recharged though the car's cigarette lighter when the car is running normally (ie, the reverse of what it does to jump start the car)? Anyone know this stuff? :)

It may be a one time use product. Did not mention anything about rechargeing the unit.
1274035
Yep, I was hoping to see reviews on it too. ALSO, I'm wondering if you charge it up and leave it in your trunk, how long does it retain the charge. I.E., sit for a year and still be able to be used to 'jump' a car?

Actually it did mention that it is rechargeable. I too was looking for comments. Was hoping to maybe purchase 2 for my daughters. It says takes several minutes to charge car bettery. I would like to know how long it actually takes. Probably just going to purchase the charger that they connect to their battery.

No, your question came to me because I was "a person who has purchased this product in the past." Contact the seller!. I was just stating how my order came. I have nothing to do with the selling of this item!

You'd be hard pressed to find objective reviews...all of these products are relatively decent, so the main considerations are going to be the price, and how they sound to your ears. Honestly you should try to find a store that lets you compare them.

I'm the purchaser, not the advertiser/seller, so I'm not sure why I also received the question (which I see has been answered). Unless there's a second one for sale, I guess you may be too late. :o)

Sorry, I bought it as a gift for someone outside my household. I will try to contact her and get back to you....Ah, No need, I see the comments of others. Community posts CAN be a good thing like this. Thank you, ladies!

Check the listings very carefully, also email the seller prior to purchase. It's an AWESOME AWESOME yo yo☺. Well worth it.

Just go over the reviews and you'll get an idea. I looked into it before I purchased this. Waiting for mine to get here in 2 days! yay! lol

I wonder that too, looks like many of the reviews could be fake or people from the company. They only have 1 review and it happens to be this product....

I personally don't think Amazon should let people review a product unless they bought it from them. The fake reviews can really skew a product's ratings. To second what Matt said, look for a trend in the ratings from verified purchasers vs. ratings from random people. :-)

dang it, my delivery date just got moved from the 29th to the 30th.... Still not shipped... Oh well, waited 21 days so far, what's another one. Anyone who received it able to post any pictures and reviews of it on amazon? Would like to see real pictures of it being used instead of just stock photos.

i've been eyeing the ZeroShock III due to some kind folks on this thread recommending it, and i've emailed them twice (!) and still no reply.may i ask if anyone knows what that site is all about? it seems as though they only have 3 items on that site!! 3 items. that must be the smallest offering of any site i've ever visited, but no worries, if the item is great, i'd like to buy it. yet, not if they won't return my emails though...look forward to hearing from you guys. thx in advance.

The only reviews I pay attention to are 1) Verified buyers or 2) Those who very obviously have bought the product and are reviewing it here for benefit of other users. If there is a questionable review, just check the "reviewer ranking" to see how often they review on Amazon. I usually tend to pay more attention to the top 10k reviewers (if someone is in the 15 million area and their review fishy... you can probably ignore them for the time being.) ; )

Here is your answer regarding whether to buy this product as well as other Electronics sold by multiple 3rd party vendors. ========================================================================== Excerpt from my review from July, 2010: "I myself could really use such a device, HOWEVER !!! I bought a new iPod Touch 32GB 3G as well as some other electronic devices like a camera and have been buying accessories like mad on Amazon. Something I have noticed is that when the product has reviews like this one: 50% 5 star reviews, 16% 4 star reviews, and 26% 3 stars or less reviews(very mixed review); something is screwed up with the product. If you notice, there is no brand name for the product. It says (By HandHeldItems) but that is actually a store. This means different sellers will send you different brand USB/AC adapters, whatever they have. They don't get them from the HandHeldItems store. If you call up this item multiple times you will notice that the "SHIPS FROM AND SOLD BY" seller often changes from, for example, SF Planet to ElectroshopUSA to Ultimate Web Sales to importer520 or eForcity. So, my conclusion and advice to you is if you are intent on buying this product(or any very mixed review product) keep calling it up until it comes from a reliable supplier, which, I am convinced sends the products that get the 5 star ratings. I have had very good luck with SF Planet and eForcity, but that is just my personal experience. I hope this helps someone make a wiser purchase. I have learned the hard way" :(

Quit asking me ! I was a buyer And I am not the seller. You are asking the seller in the wrong place! This is reviews only!

This seems to be a forum to ask questions of the folks who bought the product, not the vendors. You may want to ask the sellers this question.

@Derek Always look at the reviews. Hopefully more people will mention specifics. Look at the reviews for it for the last 6 months on this and other sites to see. Look at what they say so you know what issues some people may be having.
