Level Up! Spring Gadget Guide Part 2

Level Up!


Level Up's Quarterly Look




The Juicebox takes just over 3 hours to fully charge and I found I could get a couple of charges to my Samsung S4 (was at about 10 - 10% when I charged it) before the Juicebox needed to be recharged again. No bad for a 3600mAh charger. A bank of 4 LED Lights shows you the current charge level of the battery pack. This is one that is really a complementary charger to larger, more powerful chargers like the PowerPak Ultra. You can carry this on you and not really know it's there because it is so small and light.



I had no problem taking my phone into another room, down in the basement, and even out on the back patio without dropping my connection. Granted all of those ranges have been within 40 - 50 feet but it's still nice as I have had many Bluetooth speakers that will drop when in the same room. Did I have the occasional drop? Yes but very rarely and it didn't seem to be an excessive range thing more I think just a hiccup. One thing I noticed from other consumer reviews at Amazons is that when customers did have issues someone from Amped Wireless immediately followed up with a comment to apologize for the issue and solve it or provide the tech support # to call. While I did not have any need to call from the comments I read the Tech Support group seems to be extremely helpful and responsive. There appears to have been some issues with drivers on certain smart phones but these have been easily fixed. My only qualm might be at $70 it seems a little pricey. At $50 - $60 I'd be more comfortable.
