Does it have a blade on it? Then it would be the perfect device. Wait, it can play the Blade soundtrack, that counts, right? Does it put out UV light? THIS IS A VAMPIRE SLAYING MACHINE IN MY HEAD NOW!
I’m having a real hard time not buying this. But I know I’ll use it once and forget about it. But it’s cool. But so is a bunch of other crap I’ve forgotten about, lost, or given away. But…
It looks like one of those random objects at a goodwill store, shoved in a tote with ac adapters and home phone cradles from the 90’s. It’s got 5 layers of price tags on it, currently is only 50 cents, and will be there until the store closes.

@werekong In the review video that @JohnMorris posted, the FM radio played static, or static with a radio station in the background. He didn’t try Bluetooth.
I would assume that the Bluetooth sound quality is less bad than the FM radio.
The solar panels are probably large enough to keep the batteries charged when not in use if they get some sunshine on a regular basis. So they will work as a battery maintainer.
A full charge will probably take 3 days or more of full sun in Arizona. Here in Michigan, it could take weeks of typical weather.
@hamjudo I’m looking at the Amazon listing now and will post it. I’m looking to find the solar re-charging speed. But a charge is supposed hold for 7 years.
@hamjudo According to the manual: “Typically charges full in 10 hours depending on brightness and intensity of light source, if the speaker is completely drained”.
@ircon96 Oops, I was trying to find a specific gif for my order number, eternal-relished-soldier, & ran out of editing time. At least it stopped on a cute one
Tempting, but the last Bluetooth speaker I got from Meh stopped charging after the second time despite trying three different cables. I guess it was more of a bargain than I expected since I got an extra helping of disappointment at no extra charge.
My order arrived yesterday, it’s pretty neat and does what it says on the tin.
One thing I can’t figure out: can you see the current charge level of the battery? There’s an LED if it’s actively charging (red) or fully charged (green), but nothing that lets me know if it’s at 50% or whatever.

@Fodder650 true. But it does seem to make money.
@Fodder650 @Zott I was hoping for espresso.

I know but that’s a selling point!
I’ll wait for the purple tooth one.

@acarmack @mediocrebot That is literally my favorite flavored coffee. Going to make some now!
@acarmack @mediocrebot @omegamonkey I’ve never tasted a manatee. What does the flavor compare to?
@acarmack @mediocrebot Lots of manatee here.

Chicken… of the sea.
My next solar device will be waterproof, this one is not.
Neither was my last one, which is why I need a new one
I’ll let you know how it goes
Seems like it’s a Swiss Army light.
No hdmi no deal
Ah, a Jack of the overcrowded trades, and a master of none.

A review:
@JohnMorris thanks for posting but I just wasted a few minutes of my life watching it.
Looking at the amazon listing now and will post it.
It’s my birthday, so let’s treat myself to this as a gift! Also, let’s try this for the first time, and see if it works…

Happy birthday, @PooltoyWolf!
@Kyeh Awwwww thank you
@narfcake Thank you
Wow! All the Meh crap in one thing!
@radi0j0hn Yes! Though needs a knife for the throwback crowd.
It’s the Charge of the Light Bluetooth! How did that go again?
@hchavers
Ours is not to question, or wonder why.
Ours is but to do… or buy.
Definitely a mediocre gift for your dad for the person who doesn’t keep up with what his hobbies are. #yousuckatgifts

@aperfecttool72 It worked! Your order number is: perceptive-perforated-robin

@aperfecttool72 @mediocrebot I don’t see perceptive, perforated, or robin.
If it also worked like a Roomba, I would consider it. Otherwise, meh.
A device for outdoor use with no IPX rating? Seems odd. Better buy 2 in case 1 gets rained on

@jimmyd103 thank you for the coupon!
How many years does it take to charge with that oversized calculator solar panel???
@commonhero Exactly what I’d like to know.
@commonhero I just found the user manual on line. 3 hours via USB, 10 hours via Solar. But then again the capacity is only 2200mAh.
@commonhero @irenegade
and will it charge via solar while it is playing music?
can you land your drone on it?
@dan325c Nevermind that, can you land a rocket on it?
@blaineg Sure. Once.
@blaineg @Doooood
reminds me of the loadmaster maxim

They forgot to add the candy corn dispenser.

will my Alexa get jealous?
But, how does it sound?
@werekong Probably like it looks.
@werekong In the review video that @JohnMorris posted, the FM radio played static, or static with a radio station in the background. He didn’t try Bluetooth.
I would assume that the Bluetooth sound quality is less bad than the FM radio.
@werekong From Amazon reviews:
“Sound quality wasn’t spectacular but pretty good & loud for the size and capabilities.”
“The speaker gets a very nice volume for something that fits in the palm of your hand.”
“Volume can get pretty loud if needed”
@bmeola @werekong
Will Meh throw in 50 KN-95 masks?
@mattig88 Maybe 50 Trakrs.
Randall Peltzer FTW!!
@Bumplepimp I guess it’s been to long since I’ve watched Gremlins, I don’t remember the Bathroom Buddy at all.
Does it come with Stroopwafels?
@Sweetbabyjames even better does it gently heat stroopwafels? It has the right shape
@oldmantick @Sweetbabyjames Depends on whether the battery catches fire or not.
@blaineg @oldmantick @Sweetbabyjames
tasting notes… caramel with a hint of melted plastic…

@hamjudo In Washington, that would be a few months, maybe a year. State that is. In DC, the darkness is just too oppressive.
@hamjudo I’m looking at the Amazon listing now and will post it. I’m looking to find the solar re-charging speed. But a charge is supposed hold for 7 years.

@hamjudo @orphum
so, buy 2, charge on via USB, then charge the other off the light of the first…
These comments are hysterical! What a hoot!
Still looking at this to find the solar and plug-in charging speeds. But here’s the Amazon listing FWIW!

here’s the link to the user manual…

To charge this device I would suggest turning it around to the other side facing the sun than the one in the picture illustrated.

Is this a 1a or 2.1a charger? 1a cell phone chargers are a waste of time nowadays…unless you’re still rocking an Iphone 3gs.
Tempting, but the last Bluetooth speaker I got from Meh stopped charging after the second time despite trying three different cables. I guess it was more of a bargain than I expected since I got an extra helping of disappointment at no extra charge.
No knife blade? So very, very close to perfection.
I shouldn’t shop when I’m hungry
@msenn I don’t think this is edible though…
