The battery life has been amazing. I do not regret spending the extra money. I have 70 bottles of spices so I supplemented with some little rectangular acrylic containers that I put on top and to the side of the rack. I bought 1 pack of these command hooks because I liked the idea of reusing hooks and a way to minimize nail holes. I dont know what I should do with another pair of these hopeless shoes! Think I have to use these sparingly, at least they weren?t too expensive A secondary connection for my phone. They would get a -1 star. When paired with a play and charge kit you can charge easily with USB-C. Just got it.
