Good product for generators and portable power supplies

Very good product at a reasonable price, they also included plans and construction information for the static turf unit. I would recommend them to anyone looking to build a static weed device

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Mostly good but...

Works, the applicator is easy to assemble, my static weed is

Good instructions included, although I would like more information about a suitable power supply unit. It's available online, so it's not a big deal. I compared what others were using, chose one of my old wall warts with a 12V 2000mA output, which worked fine at 12.2V + -0.1 with a multimeter.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • A few little things

Bought two, one worked, one didn't

Nicely packaged, nice case with screw holes. Good that there is an additional ground wire. First thing I did was follow the instructions to test my 12VDC power supply and it was 12.25V, the limit said 12.5 so I was clear. I soldered the DC connector and quickly tested the first unit and it was excellent. Many ions flew and I could hear and feel the air escaping from the tip. The second brought nothing. Grilling. The same power.

Pros
  • High test results for grip and durability
Cons
  • Only available in black

Thought I needed a new one

I bought a Static Grass Applicator Kit that included one of these blocks. After four different power supplies burned out, I figured the ion generator might have failed, so I ordered a new one. After speaking to the kit manufacturer he suggested I use a 9 volt battery. When I plugged in 8 AA (12V) batteries, the static weed kit worked fine. So I didn't really have to buy this one, I think I have a spare in case I need to replace the original.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • 0

Yay, it works! Suitable for generators

Instructions were clear and simple. I was disappointed on my first try as I had power as indicated by the light on the switch but nothing came out the back. I asked to have the unit replaced and when I plugged it in I found it wasn't the alternator that was faulty it was the switch I bought from Autozone. After the repair, my herb applicator now works like a charm. Thank you Gary for giving this novice electrician the leap of faith. =

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Protection

Mixed review of generators and portable power supplies

If I review customer service it would be 5 stars. But I'm not like I got my first one and it ran 3 power supplies to boot them back up then the unit died. I ran it on a 9V battery but it sparked on the negative terminal before eventually dying completely. I contacted the seller and he was very nice and said he had to contact his manufacturer. After a few months of very pleasant communication, he sent me a new device but said not to plug it in until he got a reply from the manufacturer. So now I

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • The list will be long.
