Fi-Shock SS-440 Solar-Powered Low Impedance Medium-Duty Electric Fence Energizer 5-Mile Range Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this charger and it was delivered as advertised. Placed it in the daylight for three days as directed and set it up on our corral fence. Unfortunately, from the very first time it was turned on the charger did not work correctly. A call to the company yielded two solutions. (1) Place it in the sun for three more days or (2) Send it in for repair. Instead, I chose option (3) Send it back to Amazon.com (which was done in fine fashion, thank you) and purchase a Zareba LIS3B which has worked and is still working perfectly. I would not recommend the Fi-Shock SS-440.

The heart of any electric fence system is the energizer. You can rely on the quality and convenience of the Fi-Shock Solar-Powered Low-Impedance Electric Fence Energizer. Perfect for when you need a fence to remain "hot" constantly without a nearby power source, the battery provides enough power for 5 miles of fencing and holds a charge for up to two weeks, even in overcast conditions. The low impedance energizer maintains maximum energy levels, making sure that your fence stays charged even in weedy areas.
Easy-to-Install Fencing for Animal ContainmentThe Fi-Shock Fence Controller is ideal for use with all livestock, including cows, sheep, goats, horses, and pigs. A short, safe pulse of electricity elicits a psychological response, training animals to avoid the fence. This energizer makes an ideal power source for areas up to 10 acres with no more than 5 miles of fencing. It works with any type of fence wire, including polywire and polytape.
Low Impedance Technology Maintains Maximum Energy LevelsAll Fi-Shock solar fence controllers use low impedance technology to maintain maximum energy levels. This allows for less resistance in the charger, so more power can be pushed through the wire. What this means for you is that there's 1/3 less drain on the battery.
Low impedance energizers compensate for loss of energy caused by contact with vegetation, enabling them to power long fences in moderately weedy areas.
Solar-Charging Power Source Needs No ElectricitySave energy and money by charging your fence with solar power. This Fi-Shock Energizer is perfect for fences that are not near a power source and need to remain constantly "hot." The solar fence controller includes a 6-volt gel cell battery that is matched to the fence's circuitry and solar panel.
Once fully charged, batteries can maintain their power up to two weeks, even in cloudy or rainy weather, making them ideal for remote locations. Before installation, the sun should fully charge the battery for three days to ensure optimal battery life.
Durable DesignThe energizer features compartmental, damage-resistant construction designed to protect the solar panels, internal batteries, and internal electrical components from regular wear to the unit.
Fi-Shock solar energizers are covered by a manufacturer's limited one-year warranty.

Hamilton Beach 32229 22-Quart Roaster Oven, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought my roaster for Thanksgiving. I usually do a lot of cooking and baking for Thanksgiving and this year I made 6 baked desserts alone. I started looking for something to help me with the lack of oven space for this year and found out about the turkey roaster, I had never heard of one before. I started reading a ton of reviews on several different sites to educate myself prior to buying one. I also asked around and called a few people I knew cooked a lot for thier opinions. I got good overall feedback, so I bought this one. Maybe I shouldn't have tried a new method for the first time on such a big day as Thanksgiving... but this has a happy ending. I had a 23.22lb turkey this year. Typically I will cook a bird that big on 300-325 degrees for about 4.5 to 5.5 hours. All the reviews and the instructions stated to cook anything you are making in the roaster at the exact same temperature and time as you would a regular oven. The only two things I saw were about not opening the lid because of how much more of a loss of heat you have on a roaster vs. a regular oven. Also the complaints about a crisp outside which can be easily solved by placing your bird in the oven for just the last 20 minutes of cooking time.
So I got my turkey in the preheated turkey roaster at just below 325 degrees and decided I would cook it for about five hours. I knew I didn't want to keep checking on it because of the notation about heat loss so I decided on that time from the get go since it always worked for me in the past. I got a little nervous and about 3 hours and 45 minutes into the cooking time, I decided to take a peak. A turkey is done and still tender in the thigh at 175 and more like 165 degrees in the breast, and since the turkey will continue to cook 5-10 degrees after you take it out of the oven, I usually take my bird out at 155-160 degrees when taking the temp from the breast. I freaked out when the thermometer read 215 degrees after only about 3.5 hours. I turned the roaster off and took the inside pan out and set it out in the cold to cool down as fast as possible. I admit, I started to cry at the disaster and couldn't help but think about how much that turkey cost that I worried would be a waste of money. And what would my family eat as far as meat went. But let me tell you something... I have never had a juicer turkey in my entire life. I have NO CLUE how at 215 degrees, but I went to grab the leg and the bone just came out completely clean. I guess because it is more of a steam cooking process that it stayed so juicy, or maybe because I wrapped it in bacon, but it was so good! I read someone said it took an extra hour and half, perhaps you didn't preheat the oven or thought you had it at the right temperature but it wasn't... or maybe you opened the lid too many times or didn't secure the lid to begin with, because I had the exact opposite problem. I guess I would just say to check whatever you are making just one time, half way through the originally cooking time to see how it is doing. Otherwise, I love my turkey roaster!

With its large 22-quart capacity, this roaster oven offers an energy-efficient alternative to the full-size oven. Or, use it simply for extra cooking space during the busy holiday season. Just like a traditional oven, the versatile appliance works great for roasting a whole turkey, baking a casserole, or cooking up a batch of soup or stew--it can even be used to steam, slow-cook, or keep foods warm at a buffet table. The roaster oven provides a simple control knob with adjustable heat up to 450 degrees F. It also comes equipped with a lid that helps keep in heat and moisture, a removable insert pan, a lift-out wire rack for low-fat roasting, and cool-touch side handles for safe transport. Not sure where to start? Hamilton Beach throws in a user manual with recipes for meatballs, chili, roasted turkey, cheesecake, and much more. Beautifully housed in stainless-steel, the roaster oven measures approximately 18 by 25-2/7 by 11 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
