The ice maker works while plugged into the AC power, or on battery while plugged into 12DC. I was unable to test using solar. Since I was testing the battery life for the cooler I chose not to include that information since you can not run it on just the battery.

Spigen tough armor mag safe. I also have a review for that.

It depends how much they are turning on and off. Our original batteries were a heavy duty NiCad and lasted 8-9 months. We put lithium in there now and it's been 2 months and are showing 90%

As long as you put it on flat level ground and it's not very windy it shouldn't tip over. Battery life has been good, haven't had to change batteries since we got it. Range has been good too, haven't tested it but we are never more than 20ft when we use it.

@@UncleFabReviews Cool, thanks. How long have you been using it for?

@fennec7906 we got it right after new years, so 5 to 6 months

We have had no problems with it collapsing or being unstable. We have used it with gopro, insta360, and phones without problems. We have forgotten to tighten the round nut to secure the feet in place a few times and have encountered instability, but only due to operator error. When fully extended up, it is a little top-heavy, so in windy conditions, it could get unstable, but it is not a tripod and that is a problem of this genre of selfie stick tripod things, not gut this one. Our shoots are mostly indoors and with light equipment, so we do not have problems. It's been a few months and we think it was worth the money for what it does.

Thanks! I live in southeast Texas along the coast and understand humidity, sweaty runs, showers mid run to cool off, and running in the rain! It is not any kind of water-resistant, sorry. My phones for the last few years have all been some kind of waterproof, and have never had any problems with sweat or water. You can it in a zip lock or a waterproof case if your phone is not waterproof, I used to do that a few years ago before the newer phones came out that are waterproof. Most of the recent Samsungs and iPhones (3ish years old) are waterproof enough to not have problems. Double check with your manufacturer first.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGGtaGV_lN-mkLs I am using the IQ Shield protector I reviewed in another video. I've had it on for about 5 months now and had no fitment problem or pealing up, it has been working perfectly. In the review, I mentioned in past years it is a tight fit with Spigen cases and recommend trimming the protector for a better fit, but not the s24u case this year, works perfectly.

@@UncleFabReviews great tip. Thank you. I'd buy this one but it's not available in my country. Sorry, would love to support your channel by using your affiliate links but Amazon is not a good choice in this part of the world.

That stinks! Sorry to hear

The phone fits in the case super snug. The case is pretty thin for the protection it offers too. Where you looking for a specific answer to the fit?

@UncleFabReviews I guess just if it's loose on the top or bottom or around d the buttons

I would not say it is loose, the phone does not move any inside of the case. Out of the dozen or more times I have dropped it, it has never come out. The main piece of the case that wraps around the phone is a rubbery plastic material that you almost have to stretch around the phone to get it set on.

@@UncleFabReviews thanks so much

I have had no problems with heat. We have been able to play call of duty and pubg for hours without it getting too hot to hold. It does warm up, yes, but never been too hot to hold. Not exactly sure what stressful situation means.

@UncleFabReviews thanks for the reply. Indeed, I was referring to more demanding tasks like cpu/GPU intensive tasks so games will do. Was just curious how good the case was at dissipating heat with all the foam protection. I am planning on using a magnetic cooler while driving with Android Auto. Thanks !

I did not have a problem, and I have an Asus triband mesh network.

@UncleFabReviews Sweet, I had the RainPoint one, and jt took a crap a year later. It started to leak and wouldn't connect back to my same network. I bought a new one and still wouldn't connect, so I returned it. I am ordering the Rachio from Amazon. Hopefully, the power plug issue is fixed on these, people online saying it won't power on or stay plugged in, and Rachio is aware of the issue.

I just got one of these last year to try out after having issues with the b-hyve ones over and over. Glad to say it is very stable and I will be replacing my other two with these because of how good they are (had the single unit all year last year, so I’ve had time to test it). I only had one connection issue and Rachio emailed that there was an issue before I even knew it (same day notification from them). They had it resolved in a decent timeframe and notifying customers of a known issue is monumental compared to being left to hope that a bug will be fixed someday. THAT is the real selling point compared to others, I think. They also are continually adding features and enhancing the experience, which is quite nice as well. I have not regretted converting my regular irrigation controller or my hose timer to Rachio. Hands down, they are best I’ve tried over the years.

​@@shanew7361I have not had a plug issue, and have not been aware of one. Almost a year old and have not and ANY probs. Knock on wood

Awesome! Glad to help! If you are going to purchase through Amazon please use my link.

I am not used to the magnet and some times it sticks to the surfaces I set it on. Not really a disadvantage. Also if you have paperclips or hairpins or something small and metal, it will attach to you phone in you pocket. Not a disadvantage either, just need to get used to it. Never had a magnet case. No disadvantages over all in my opinion

@@UncleFabReviews appreciate it bro, good to know

Weight and size.

We do not use Alexa, sorry we have not.

Weird how that works! Thanks for tuning in.

Nice! Thanks!

Thanks for tuning in. Just offering some content about the battery as I couldn't find any at the time I bought mine.

I have had problems with a few brands of screen protectors not fitting well with the tough armor cases, but SheildIQ is the best fit I can find. I have actually had ZERO problems with the SheildIQ I reviewed (link below) and this magsafe case, they work together perfect. I can not say anything about other screen protectors. I used the SheildIQ and in the 2 months I have had both, they have saved my phone half a dozen times already. I just noticed you said camera protector, I would not know anything about that, sorry. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGGtaGV_lN-mkLs

It sure does. At the 43 second mark you can see my screenshot. I tested it with my s24 ultra and it works. Thanks for watching! If you'd like to help me out, click the link in my description to buy it.

Thanks for the question. I would think the remote is compatible with all/most android, as it works with my Galaxy s23 ultra. I have found you have to pair with the remote every time before opening the camera app for it to work correctly. Not a pain, just about 3 extra seconds of setup time.

Thanks. I have slowed down these days and don't use this nearly as much or hard core as my dometics. Thought about doing a second battery, but just don't have the budget, or stray to far away from a 12v outlet to need any other batteries.

Thanks for watching!

CONFIRMED IT WORKS!!! Tested on an IPhone 14 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Set your timer and click the button when you are ready to start the timer.

Thank you@@UncleFabReviews

Thank you for watching!

Just tried it out and it does!

@UncleFabReviews thank you 😊

I have not done any gaming on this new phone, but I did with my 22 ultra and 23 ultra, and it was never a problem. As for my 24 ultra I have done some video editing and watching movies at full brightness and have had no probs.

Is it metal or plastic?

Plastic

This should work it any lead acid setup. Is a smart charger and works with your computer to charge your batteries according to what ur computer says. If you have an older set up with just batteries, it works like a normal charger and will keep a trickle after they are fully charged.
