3in1 170°Car Visual Reversing Rear View Camera with Backup Radar Parking Sensor

Actual user review of this 3 in 1 camera
This camera is pretty decent quality, has an optional and loud backup alarm plus displays numerical distance and then... "STOP" when you get very close to an object.
The actual picture quality is stated in the ad. I can tell you while it is not bad, it is certainly not super crisp. It does not handle any direct light or sun into the lens well, and the image will white out (around any bright light) easily. But it does a pretty good job of getting a decent video image with guide lines, distance and backup warning sound (optional) to your existing display. It is also 2 small LED lights next to the camera but I do not know how effective they are and I'm not going to disable my backup lights just to check in total darkness.
Overall for $20 I am pleased with the quality and decided not to hookup the backup alarm.... it was too loud.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There are not any installations directions but rather an incomplete schematic. There is one vital wire that is not even described. This is the one wire that is inside the video cable and comes out near the RCA plug on each end of the video cable. This important non labeled wire is to be spliced into backup light in the back of the car, and attached to the appropriate wire coming out of your head unit in the front. Once connected when you put the car in reverse it send that signal to the head unit, and then the head unit switches and shows the backup camera image. If you do not connect this wire correctly, the image will not show. I finally just searched on the internet and found what this wire was for and were to located in my car. It took me 1.5 hours to figure this out and 1.5 hour to install and hide the wires.

Kitchen IQ Smart Sharp 50354 Electric Knife Sharpener

NON-chef, user review
This electric knife sharpener is one of the best I ever used. I paid $42 delivered and sharpened my whole set in about 30 minutes. I really like the ability to change the angle which is an important feature missing on almost all electric knife sharpeners.
It seems very well made, good weight and stays in place on my countertop. The instructions are very well written too.
Really great!!!
Solar Lights, LOZAYI IP65 Waterproof Outdoor Solar Light,Remote Control 16.4Ft

good, but not great
For the money it is an adequate solar powered light. We use outdoors over a little porch table, light intensity is perfect for a small area at night. I would not recommend for a large area or a security type application. The light fixture has a smaller diameter than ideal, only 6". The wire that connects the light to the solar panel is adequate, and the solar panel seems good.
The remote is very cheap and needs two AAA batteries. The remote range is not very good and it seems that it must be pointed at the bulb area. I have not been able to figure out how to have it come on each night at dusk, it seems to need to be turned on with the remote every use. Also it can only be turned on when "it" thinks it is dark enough, and the light sensor is in the solar panel, not the light. Sooo, it will only turn on when the solar panel determines it is dark, it does not matter where the light fixture is.
