Most helpful customer reviews 105 of 111 people found the following review helpful. Short life of Holly C. Shelley sounds as promising as this product based on our experience that short-lived. Here are some facts about the product Ion Audio and business practices (from 21Dec09) that you should know before buying: 1. 90 days warranty - it's about how long it took for our product to systematic errors. Our teens and we used a device less than 10 times and never outside. One could say that it was spoiled. And yet, it will not hold a charge and now makes no sound at all (regardless of the input device, in our case, an iPod (Nano G4, iPod G1 and / or G2 iPod video), microphone and electric bass). 2nd Battery - oddly enough by Ion's own technical support staff (contact was very difficult to find) you can not overcharge the battery or allow it to drain completely, otherwise the battery can be revived! Honestly, whoever they built most of the batteries out or integrated into consumer electronics? We can not from a single device that we do not regulate the the car that the man is so boring, always able to think to monitor the battery life with this expertise? Frankly, unless the device came with a meter, you never know how close overcharging or under-estimate, it really is. And it is a leaf, and blown the device? This is an old technology at best. 3rd Repairability - Finally, if you have a battery or other item of this type, which probably is not within 90 days, the design and manufacture of the unit, a user-friendly repair (eg, easy access to compartments and components are hot-swappable). This device requires 22 wood screws for diagnostic purposes alone, and almost everything inside was like the speaker soldered to ever forget they are removed without destroying the cabinet. You must disassemble the entire unit. We advise you to stay away from this product until the company addresses these three fundamental questions. We still love the concept, but this product is poorly executed. (Note: Unless we can say that: (1) Ion Audio iPA03 portable PA system, (2) Alesis Trans Active Mobile / Portable PA system and (3) Pyle PCMX240I battery operated portable PA system is similar and probably produced by the same company, so beware of a lemon by any other name is still a lemon) Disappointed, Shelley D & H PS: .. When Ion Audio LLC will always contact us and do everything right, we would like to withdraw this complaint ... and can even create a fan club instead. Until then, it's just a great idea, poorly executed and frustrating for the consumer. 67 of 70 people found the following review helpful iPA03 Portable PA Helo To Geek I was looking for a portable speaker for iPod my record is high enough to be heard in an open shed. I read a review of the Seattle Times 15/09/07 iPA03 and it seemed it would work. I searched online and found listed Best Buy. I was hoping to try to pick it up and go. But it had been placed outside of the material from a little 'with no idea when they could get. I tried Amazon and immediately found in the warehouse and in order. It 'also arrived in 2 days and delivered more than I expected. * It 'was cheaper then Best Buy. * Offers a rich and complete for the iPod. I also tried an RCA portable CD play and looks great. * It also charges your iPod when powered by alternating current. (It also runs on a battery that contains itself.) * The karaoke function is the prize, adding that a lot of fun to play with. Just tune down the volume on the iPod input crank up the volume and sing with the stars * are quite strong, more than 40 pounds on wheels with an airport-style pop wheelies melted driving. * Also has a connector for use as a guitar amp. * The microphone can be used as a PA for meetings, plays the harmonica with music or a speaker system anywhere.
