Complete Auto Accessory!Jumper Plus Test Battery and Alternator too.July 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This Auto Jumper cost $100 plus tax at Wal Mart. I can't believe I can get the free shipping and only $80 at Amazon and this baby is about 25 lbs. Only false is it doesn't come with Extented cord for charging the Auto Jumper. I think Black & Decker is avoiding being sue or somewhat. However, this Jumper works (Please read the instruction before you jump start a Dead battery car. Otherwise you screw car's electronic system.) The best thing is this Jumper Not only Jump start your car instantly. It also able to Test your Alternator and Battery. So you will not be cheated by those lying dishonest auto repair guy. If tested alternator gone bad. You know you have to go to repair shop right away becauce even you are able to jump start the car it could gone dead any time. If battery gone dead. 1st thing you do is to check if the battery need to be fill up with "Distill Water"(regular water will damage the battery later). Don't over fill with Distill Water. Read instruction or call repair guy how much distill water should you pour in. If you over fill it with distill water. Acid will spill out from the battery. This strong Acid will start melting your car's metal body. If the Battery Manufactural indicate this battery can last for four years. It is usually truth. You job is checking if the battery have enough Distill Water inside the battery. You don't have to worry about POSITIVE or NEGATIVE connector. This Auto Jumper will let you know if you screw up POSITIVE connect to Negative.

The inverter worked once, then failed altogether. Radio is cheesy. Jump start power works but is relatively weak. Charge indicator lights are funky and innacurate. The price is cheap for a reason.

This product has come in very handy, tornados came through and we had the radio, as well as we went 500 miles from home and the battery went dead and this saved us. I would by this again!

Great product!A bit heavy, and I would have liked for the cables to be a little longer, but still I'm quite satisfied.

Black & Decker - What Happened???March 12, 2008 25 out of 28 found this review helpful
Black & Decker PS400JRB Electromate 400 Plus
This is a great looking "guy toy"! I was hoping to get a lot of use from it and really looked forward to testing it. Well, I've had it now for about two weeks and I really WISH this device would perform all the functions that the script writers at Black & Decker claim for it.
Let's start with the radio so that I can give you some helpful tips. The radio has on/off again static and the volume seems to have a mind of its own. To temporarily eliminate the radio static, just give the unit a "whack" at various locations until you find the sweet spot. The static will then generally stop until you move the unit or turn it off.
The volume adjustment knob on the radio has no tactile feel whatsoever and just spins in either direction with the volume increasing/decreasing at some point. Just like the static, a few whacks on the radio itself will easily adjust the volume for your listening pleasure.
The USB port does work (eventually) but the fit of any USB cable into the port is very sloppy. Here's a tip...If you find the USB port is not working well, simply get some duct-tape and try various "tape-ups" until you see that it's working. Of course, you'll have to remember the exact configuration or start over again next time you need to use the USB port. If you have a camera, you can just take a picture of how it looked when you finally got it to work and then just duplicate the tape-up each time.
The "area light" works great if all you're trying to do is illuminate the inside of an M&M bag to see if just possibly, there could be even a partial piece of an M&M remaining. Otherwise, get a real flashlight or even a candle.
Hey, how about those 120volt and DC plug-ins? Yeah, right. As you salivate, just dying to plug-in something, anything (hey, we're guys, we like to plug-in stuff) and show your buddies that you are truly the master of this device..... good luck! Even though the unit was fully charged, it would shut down with every low wattage device I plugged into it.
Am I starting to get just a little frustrated with this Black & Decker PS400JRB Electromate 400 Plus? Gosh Cletus...yuh think????? I called the 800 support number provided by Black & Decker and was transferred to a recording that said the number was no longer in use.
There was a time when the name Black & Decker stood for quality. But it appears that was a long, long time ago.
