UNBOXING: COSTCO DURACELL POWERBLOCK 500 – Gasless / Battery Generator

I was at Costco and bought this DURACELL PowerBlock 500. There are other similar sized 500Wh power stations online ( https://amzn.to/3EKdEQL ). This is an unboxing video of the Duracell Powerblock 500, a full review video will be coming up after I finish my testing, so like and subscribe!

This is the first time I seen a Duracell Power Block 500 in a Li-Ion format, as this one compact and only 10.6 lbs in weight. Before the Duracell PowerSource 660 ( https://amzn.to/3k7lZVm ) was sealed lead acid batteries and it was much heavier and larger.

One of the first things I noticed was the battery capacity rating. On the box it states 491Wh and on the Unit specs and User Manual it states MAX 478 Wh. Either way I will be running a real world load test on the Duracell Powerblock 500 in a few days to find out how useful this really is.

DURACELL PowerBlock 500 also has 110v/500W pure sine inverters with 3 outlets, USB A and C charging and a 12v power out. I got and reviewed a Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) in the past with a 240Wh Backup Lithium Battery power station with 110V/200W Pure Sine Wave AC inverter Outlet Solar Generator. This battery allows me to play my Xbox One S console game while traveling for up to 3.5 hours. I expect this Duracell 500 unit should last me about 6 hours or so.
In the video I got images of the stats for comparison and detailing.

REVIEW: Door Stop Alarm – Alerts & Stops Doors

If you work alone or travel alone and want to know if someone entered a door, then getting a Door Stop Alarm ( https://amzn.to/3Ka9VNq ) may be very useful. I got these to let me know if someone opened my door while I am working in the other part of the office or house. It also acts as a door stop to slow the opening of the door.

Door Stop Alarm ( https://amzn.to/3Ka9VNq ) runs on a 9V battery and has an ON/OFF switch, sensitivity switch (H M L – but only M and L works, H is too sensitive), and the wedge switch. It has rubber feet so it will work on tile or carpeted floors.

Overall, Door Stop Alarm ( https://amzn.to/3Ka9VNq ) will be useful daily or when I am traveling or staying late at the office. Or if you want to alerted when someone has come home.

REVIEW: Expanding Garden Hose 75ft – Easy to USE and HIDE!

I really really love this light weight convenient 75ft expanding garden hose ( https://amzn.to/3vi1zxS ). For years I have been using my heavy rigid garden hoses, which made me hate going out to water the plants and wash my car. This expandable garden hose is very easy to handle and can be put away very fast. No more reeling in heavy hoses!

This one is a 75 ft expanding garden hose ( https://amzn.to/3vi1zxS ) that can fit inside a small planter when not in use, or it can be stored in a bag. For people who have a condo and limited space this is good.

PROS:
Easy to handle and store.
Very long length – really compact when expanded or contracted.
Complete package has nozzle.
Shut off valve makes it easy to drain to contract and store.
No hose reel needed, just store in a small planter, container, or bag.

CONS:
-Light duty perfect for home use. Not sure how long it will last compared to heavy duty commercial grade hoses.
-Rubber hose protecting rubber shield slides off from time to time.
-Fiber housing may pickup dirt and get dirty – need to hose off before storage.

Overall, I will be using this 75 ft expanding garden hose ( https://amzn.to/3vi1zxS ) daily for gardening and around the home, as it is faster, flexible, and more convenient for 90% of all the outside water hose needs. Definitely good for folks who have trouble with lifting or handling heavy garden hoses. Its also very space saving.
