Product Testing Program
Do you fancy helping us test our new products? The product testing program allows you to do just that (and no, it's not a scam like some of the ads that you see on FaceBook!).
Here's how it works:
- Sign up for our newsletter (see below) and select 'Product Testing' as an interest area.
- Approximately once a month we will notify you by email about the next new product to help us test.
- In the email, we'll provide a link to a survey site so that you can tell us what you think about the product (it's features, how useful you think it would be and how you rate the price.
- From everyone how completely the survey, we select one candidate to recieve a FREE product to test, write a review on and then keep.

Belkin "PocketTop" Laptop Workstation
This laptop workstation organizes and protects your laptop while keeping your lap cool while you work.
"The
Belkin Pocket Top is very comfortable to use on your lap and keeps the
heat from the computer off your legs. I like the bright green color as
it makes it very easy to find among jackets, etc. that usually end up
on my couch. I would definitely purchase this product for a gift."

Ecco Keychain GPS
The
Ecco is a tiny GPS that helps you find your way to anywhere - home, RV,
boat dock, car or trail head. It was very favourably reviewed, although
the price at $99.99 came in a little steep. Based on that feedback, we
currently sell the Ecco at a special sale price of $89.
"This
is a wonderful gadget for those who have trouble finding their way back
to their vehicle after going for a long hike or just trying to find
your vehicle in a large lot. The
GPS locator can be operated by anyone. There are only a few buttons
needed to get the unit up and running. You turn it on, press a button
to secure your current location then go off and have fun. When it is
time to return, you just press the return button and it will get you
close enough to your vehicle to see it. You can even keep one location
and add up to two others if you have multiple stops to remember.
A
couple of drawbacks to the unit is that it is strictly for outdoor use
and can only be used in locations that can easily see the sky. A
heavily wooded forest or a city with tall skyscrapers will make it
difficult to use. It will not work if your vehicle is parked in a
parking garage, but if you program your location once outside of the
ramp, you can get back to that location."

Emergency LED Light
Click on the photo for more details on this product testing. In summary, it did very well, but ultimately we didn't end up selling it (yet) due to product supply issues.
