Crocodile Dentist Travel - Game Review

I bought this game about 4 years ago for my son, who was about 4 years old at the time. When the box is opened you will immediately fall in love, for so many reason. This toy does not have any does not need to be put together, it comes fully assembled in the box. Even better there are absolutely no parts to lose. The game is one piece and stays that way the whole time. As if that isn't enough to sell the game it also uses NO batteries. That's right parents, no assembly, no parts or missing pieces, and no batteries!

This game is so easy to play. Each person one by one will press on the crocodile`s teeth, one of those teeth will be the sore one and when you press it down the crocodile`s mouth will snap shut.

It keeps children of all ages entertained because they never know which tooth will cause the crocodile`s mouth to snap shut, and the suspense it exciting. When the crocodile`s mouth snaps there is still a big gap between the top of his mouth and his teeth, so there is no worry about fingers getting pinched.

Crocodile dentist is a great game, with a great price. It is well made and at 4 years old, still looks and works like it is brand new. I would recommend this toy to everyone young and old!

Duracell 15 minute Battery Charger Review

I bought this battery charger over 2 years ago now. It was around Christmas time, I had a new digital camera and couldn't resist the convenience on having batteries that would be charged in only 15 minutes. I also loved how it came with and charged both AA and AAA batteries

We brought the charger home, first thing I noticed was the batteries were pre-charged. I love being able to buy more batteries for my charger and using them as soon as I open the package. I took the  batteries from the package and put them right into my camera. They lasted a good 4-5 hours of my camera being on, or about 500 pictures.

Once it came time to charge my batteries I plugged in the charger, and put the batteries in place. The charger light came on and so did this very loud sound of the powerful fan in the charger. The batteries charge so quickly that they become very hot, so Duracell places this powerful fan inside to charger to cool down the batteries as they are charging.

The batteries take 15 minutes to charge, cool off and be ready for use. However the battery charger keeps the fan going for an additional 10 minutes cooling down the charger itself. The noise is loud and can become annoying. However this can be solved by plugging in the charger in a different room.

I have bought so many batteries and currently use them for everything in my home. They are great for remotes, and video game controllers, they charge faster then the nintendo wii charging station. Great for kids toys that use lots of batteries,digital cameras and so much more.

I would give the Duracell 15 minute charger and batteries a rating of 9 out of 10. The only downfall is the noise that is made while your batteries are charging and well the charger is cooling off. In my opinion the noise is well worth the long life, and quick charge of the Duracell charger.
