Review:“The pictures speak for themselves, pretty good product even with just a cloth.” -Adriano Rangel

Review:“I love the way that these LEDs add a soft (adjustable) lighting effect to the floor area of my cars. Installation was a breeze too!” -Wakefj
Review:“Fits great in a 2024 Toyota Sienna! The foam can both compress and expand so it conforms to the space. It also fully fills the odd-shaped gap around the seatbelt buckle. This will keep the gap completely covered. This is a much better product than the folder-type gap fillers I had with a previous car.” -Dahlia
Review:“I have this tissue holder in my car and it holds a pretty good amount. Super easy to just reach over to my visor and use. It looks very sleek and blends in nice.” -izzy weed
Review:“Man, these cubbies are handy. They hold a ton and help to keep things from moving around while driving. The Velcro on the bottom is awesome, too.” -Jessica
Review:“This windshield sun screen is very lightweight and works really well. I live in Arizona and the sun is brutal. The sun screen is a bit clumsy because it’s big when unfolded, but it does fold down to a nice compact size and can be stored in the bag that comes with it. Very happy with this item.” -Colleen
Review:“Perfect to meet our needs for a small car trash container that fits in a cup holder!” -RB

Review:“Absolutely love all the compartments. It’s bigger then the other ones and better quality.” -Maher
Review:“The quality is good; that’s flexible, durable and covers the entire circumference. I bought another set before this and had to return it because I could still see space. Color is great;” -Amazon Customer
Review:“I mounted these on the interior of my 5th gen Honda prelude so that I could manage the wires for my charger and aux cord. They aren’t too large so I was able to easily find a spot for them to go. They aren’t too noticeable or bulky, but they definitely could hold more than one wire, or even thicker wires. I opted to install two, one for each wire, just because of my personal preference. I was left with 4 extra in the event one somehow breaks, or I ever need one for anything else. I’d have to say it was great value for what I paid.” -Big Man
Review:“These things are a life saver, I have had them get me unstuck 3 times now. So nice so you don’t have to dig or pull the winch out I’m going to get a second set just to have them highly recommend good bang for your buck.” -Levi D.

Review:“Awesome cushion. I bought two. One for car and one for office desk. I drive a lot for work and this helps keep my butt and legs from falling asleep and my back pain is gone when I use it.” -J

Review:“I work security and will often need to help people jumpstart their vehicles, let me tell you this thing is fast and powerful. If I had a dollar for every time I helped someone with a dead battery, I could probably buy a new battery. This thing is cheap for the peace of mind it provides 👍👍” -Gerardo Campos

Review:“These are great! Very easy to slip on and easy to rotate when someone needs the passenger seat. My husband will hang his 2L water bottle from it, full of water, and it barely flinches. They match the seat colors pretty well, too! I was kind of concerned that adding weight to the hook would push the hook into the seat and may eventually “dent” the seat, but it doesn’t seem to be doing that at all. Getting more to use as stocking stuffers!” -Heather
Review:“I am not gonna lie. I wasn’t sure when I ordered these things but I decided to take a chance because it had some very decent product reviews. Wow what a great little piece of gear! The magnet is perfect. The color is great to go with just about anything it holds my glasses perfectly. Well worth every penny!” -Kindle Customer
Review:“Works well for my cell phone in the car. Holds it firmly and securely with magnetization.” -QUEEN NEPTUNE
Review:“I’ve installed in my Sprinter van. Heats up very quickly. So far so good.” -ShemR
Review:“First, this works great to carry a laptop or monitor. My 15.6 monitor fits comfortably in there and a separate zippered up pouch in the back can hold all the wires. In the backseat of a car, this operates similarly to an airline tray table but more comfortable. A slotted pouch fits over the steering wheel to allow a driver a comfortable means to park and eat, work, or play.” -Gary
Review:“It’s small but gives me a great view of the blind spot. I’m elderly and feel like a much safer driver now. This was easy to install and very easy to adjust.” -Steve
Review:“I own several of these. I’ve tried the smaller ones that don’t stick out as much, but they seem to be a weaker transmitter. I own mostly stock classic cars so these are a way to enjoy my music and podcasts without changing out the original radio. These have a nice strong transmitter, so they don’t get as much interference as the smaller ones.” -vaughn
Review:“This has been a purchase that I didn’t know I needed. I eat lunch in the car while working so this gets used pretty often! I use them both at the same time because I need sauce options haha! Best invention ever!” -Khris.C
