Purchased this car top carrier to use for summer travel now that we have two kids and tons of stuff to take along - pack and plays, strollers, luggage. Just like the other reviewer, we drove through 7 hours of straight rain on our most recent trip and everything stayed completely dry. We were also happy to see how much this carrier would hold. We drive an Escape and it fit fine. Great product! see less

Used this carrier for our vacation. Seven people traveling in one van. Held all the big luggage and a few odds and ends. Left room to move inside. Drove through rain and everything stayed dry. Easy to load and strap down. see less

My daughter wanted a car emergency tool, and this one had everything imaginable. Good price, good quality, and something I hope she never needs. see less

Works great, has all the features we wanted. Smart, durable design and construction (and pretty heavy). Only 4 stars because the rubber straps included to clamp the bike frames onto the rack seem cheap and I'm not sure how long they will last or how strong they are. I suggest another method of attaching your bike to this rack as a backup to what's provided. see less

I use this on my Ford Focus. The trunk opens fully even when the rack is on. On other cars you can use the tilt feature to open the trunk. I can use a cable lock through the Rack and through the loop on the hitch to make sure it can't be removed from the car. The Rack is light enough to remove from the hitch and carry to my porch when not in use. The top part folds down when bikes are not present so the rods don't stick out in the rear.I do use a bungee strap to go around the bike frame and around the vertical bar of the Rack to keep the bike a little steadier on longer trips. Overall a good purchase. see less

It is easy to use and sturdy. The only minor dislike is that with two bikes on the rack it is a little tight and I have to use a bungy cord to keep the bikes from scratching each other up. I would buy again though as it is a good value. see less

Solid rack. Not sure how long velcro straps will last exposed to weather, bit of a pain to pull out pivot pin if SUV doesn't have separate window hatch. Otherwise, very good buy. Comparable models available locally were twice as much, so I'm happy to have saved a lot of $ with Target.com. see less

Excellent rack for the price, esp compared to the [$] racks. This is my 3rd hitch-mount rack and I've had a new brand name rack --and expensive, and a used one for [$]. This Advantage rack is right in the middle and it's not bad. It does the job esp when I only hook it up less than 10x per year. I need it to tilt, and I need it for 4 bikes. It's compact enough, sturdy enough, and overall a good buy. see less

I drove on interstate from Minnesota to Indiana and it worked perfectly. It was a great value, worked well on my small car, and was easy to install. I definitely recommend it. see less

I was really excited to receive this rack, but unfortunately it did not fit my car- latest model of mazda 3. If the company had a listing of compatible car makes/models it would save a lot of grief. Got another brand rack from a different retailer that I knew would fit, just from looking at the box. They should also put on the packaging or website that a women's bike will most likely need an adapter bar. Good to know for biking newbies like me. Despite the disappointing experience, the rack arrived super fast and looked like it was great quality for the price. Was able to return with no problems. see less

I was skeptical about getting a bike rack, whether it was really worth it and if I would ever use it, but then I saw this one. It was lightweight (I carried the box throughout the store) and very inexpensive compared to others I had seen. Even better, when I got it home and tried it out, it was soooo simple to use. And I didn't have to do anything to the car to get it on (like some of the others did). I leave it in the trunk until I'm ready to use it, and it only takes about 5 minutes to set up. Definitely a good buy! see less

This product is great!! I have two dogs and one of them wont go near it for some reason but my other one enjoys it. I like this product because it was affordable big and very easy to instal. it even matched my interior very well. It did have a musky rubbery smell at first but after i let it sit out over night smell went away.I would recommend this product to any one just wish they would make one for cars with no back headrest. see less

This is an as seen on tv product. It seems of very strong plastic when first opened. I let it air out overnight since it would give me a headache if I let it air out in the car. Two straps over the headrests. Has two slits for seat belts to slip through. Machine washable. Nice large size. see less

We needed a quick cover up for our two front seats. These were a great, inexpensive route! They don't look the highest quality or the most expensive, but they cover up the torn up seats that they are hiding underneath them. We used a steamer to get out some wrinkles they had to help them look a little nicer.Overall, very happy with the purchase for now. We'll likely get some nicer, more expensive car seat covers down the road. see less

Cargo tote keeps groceries from rolling around in trunk. I also like that it has velcro on bottom to hold tote in place and folds down flat when not in use. see less

Like the size of it and keep all my bags in there for going to the grocery store. But...... the picture is misleading as the sides don't stay up at all as there is nothing to support them. Gonna buy a Thule storage bag next time. see less

This is a pretty handy cargo tote for SUVs because things do tend to roll around the back. However, the two longer sides are always falling down. Kind of annoying but overall a decent product for what it does. I do through all the smaller knick knacks in there. see less

This item seems to be fine, a little hard to connect the front tubing together during assembly. Works well with 3 bikes, will hold 4 with extra maneuvering due to the handle bars all hitting each other. Use a long thick cable through the bike frames and through the bike rack with a heavy duty lock and that would make it difficult for anyone to steel them. It works well in the truck bed as well as in the garage. see less

woke up to a flat tire, got lazy to put the spare on so i went to Target and picked this up. Not the fastest, i cant speak on how durable it is as i've only used it once but glad i bought it and will keep it in my car for emergencies. i wasnt sure how to read the numbers, so i just filled it up and used my manual reader. once i got it to 30psi i turned it off. decent for the price. see less

I purchased this last night to air up the tires in my car and my wife's car. It was not the fastest inflator in the world, but for the price it is great. In about 30 minutes I had 8 tires aired up from 20PSI to about 40 PSI. Beats having to go the gas stations and find an air machine that works. Going to go back to grab a second one to leave in the car for road trips. see less

Purchased this as an inexpensive stopgap for a leaky tire on my car. Would need to reinflate the tire about once a week. This worked fine - if 15-20 minutes to refill a tire from very low but not flat is fine in your book - for about 2 months, so I got around a dozen or so uses out of it, but it has completely stopped working. All I can say is I'm glad this died on me now, at home, instead of if I were in a situation where I absolutely needed it. Poor quality, wish I hadn't wasted the money on this and would have just bought a good one that would last. see less

Had the same issue and ev ... see more

Had the same issue and even exchanged mine only to discover that the reason it didn't work was because this model has a special feature in the dial to set it at the pressure you want to inflate to. Roll that dial on top all the way over and you will no longer have the problem of it not working. Does keep it from over-inflating! see less

Read other reviews and selected this inflator to help with my lawn tractor. Found we still had to jack up tractor to inflate tire - but then tire inflated quickly and shut off at exactly the correct amount. This had been easily set using the dial gauge.Worth the investment. see less

One of my snow blower tir ... see more

One of my snow blower tires went flat today, of course after 18" of snow, my 12VDC car tire inflator did not have enough volume to seal the bead and inflate the tire, went out and picked this up and was impressed that it got the job done and only took about 5 minutes to bring to 20 psi, which is what the tire called for.Why a 4 and not a 5, well as commented on already, the air hose is very short and it is clear that on a car tire the valve stem would have to be near the ground to reach it and the AC (house) power cord is equally as short begging for an extension cord which is not the safest thing in my situation with snow, the 12VDC car power cord is plenty long and not an issue. On pure function, will it blow up a tire, I have to give it a 5. Even if a car tire is likely to take a long time, it will get there.Seeing the review about it turning off and CB about turning the dial all the way (BTW - Thanks CB for that) I was a little worried it might not work well. I found that once it hits pressure and turns off, you need to turn it off and back on again with the power switch, this is a safety device so you don't accidently leave it on. You can use the trick CB suggested going to max pressure, the only thing is you really need to keep your eye in the pressure as that more or less defeats the over-inflation protection. Personally I would suggest putting it no more than 5 psi over the pressure you need and turn it off manually once you get the pressure you want, the issue with going to max pressure is if you go way over the right pressure for the tire there is a major risk of it or item being inflated exploding. Don't be fooled by its small size, pressure is pressure, if you have a tire blow and you are near it you can easily get hurt.Another tip -- as long as it is attached to whatever is being inflated, it will show the current pressure, if that is the same as the dial it will not turn on again, the safety will not allow as you are already at your dialed in pressure. To start it again just turn up the pressure dial or remove it from the thing you are inflating, cycle the power off then on and you are good to go.Last tip, I would go at least 2-5 psi over your real target pressure, you lose a little taking it off, then use a pressure guage to see where you are and let the air out yourself until it comes down to where you want it.All in all I am pretty happy with it, having AC and DC power is a real plus, I did not have 12VDC around my snowblower, just house power 120VAC.I also like how everything neatly packs away, my other little one has cords and the hose all over the place and no way to store it well. see less

For that little bit of extra space for camping gear, it's the perfect solution. We no longer have to fold the back seat down in my Mitsubishi Outlander, so we can even have my son bring a friend along. Easy to install, (after getting a trailer hitch) and remove when arriving at our campsite, and Target's price is right. Came very quickly too! We did have to purchase the lift kit to give the extra clearance I felt was a must. We are very pleased and will use it for many camping trips to come, and I can't wait to see how else we will use this very ingenious item! Would have given five stars if I didn't need the lift kit too. see less

We were on vacation in Williamsburg, VA and needed more room inside the van we were driving. We saw this product online and checked to see if it was available in the local store, which is was, although it cost about [$]. It was easy to attach to the roof rack, even though the van we were using has the stow n go cross bars. After driving more than 300 miles home the carrier was easy to refold and put back into the storage bag. It appears to be of good quality and we have no doubt it would be rainproof, but we didn't drive through any rain. We would definately recommend this product to a friend. see less

We drove from San Diego to Seattle for Christmas, and we bought one of these for our trip. It held up great! It was very quiet and easy to use. I was also able to FIT IT BACK IN THE BAG after I used it!! It was waterproof and overall we were completely satisfied. see less

We purchased this item at our local Target store. We own a smaller SUV now and have less room inside for our baggage when travelling. The inside of the carrier had a coating that cracked and peeled off onto everything inside of it. I assume that the coating was the rainproof part. It rained during our trip home and everything inside the carrier became wet. I'm giving it 2 stars because it did hold our baggage securely and out of the way. Perhaps it was just this one model that was defective, but I'm not sure I would chance purchasing another one. see less

Once you get the hang of it, this rack can be very quickly installed on either a Sedan or an SUV (less than 5-minutes). We have owned ours for a few years and it has never let us down. We only ever carry two bikes, but I choose this carrier because it had the two extra straps. If you mount one bike facing one direction and the next facing the opposite direction, and align the pedals correctly (as common sense would tell you), there is easily space for a third bike. We usually also incorporate a bungie or two and a couple of rags to prevent the bikes vibrating against each other or the car and ruining the paintwork. We've taken 300+ mile road trips with the bikes on the back, freeway and mountain roads. I'm a very spirited driver and we've never had any issues with the rack not being secure. I think the extra harness points make all the difference. see less

This bicycle rack is a very good deal - I had no problem attaching it to the vehicle, though the directions could be a little more detailed. So far I've only carried one heavy beach cruiser on it, approx. 10 miles round trip, several times with no problems. I'm not finding it necessary to use any extra help (bungie cords, etc) though I do tie the excess strap footage around the frame of the bicycle simply b/c its there and it would fly around while driving; it seemed like a no-brainer. It would be better if I could lock the bicycle to it, and there are bike racks in the marketplace that do, but I couldn't find any locally. The only other foreseeable problem is that the actual bicycle rack can easily be lifted off the trunk of your car and stolen, so take heed. see less

I just washed my car and noticed 1000's of small rust spots -on top of the paint- on the paint and black specs all over even after washing. Its a white 2011 Jeep fyi. Tried scraping off with my fingernail but wound not work and if it did would take hours. I Googled 'small rust spots on paint' and found this product. It works better than I would have thought. Spray the liquid on, rub it with the wax, and wipe off. It's amazing how dirty the car still was after washing it. It's hard work rubbing it in but worth it. Took an hour and some sweat. Cost [$] at Target and was actually the cheapest price I could find and was in stock. Won't let me paste a pic but trust me it works awesome! see less

I work near a foundry that spews out a metallic dust in the air, which lands on our cars and causes the paint to begin rusting. I thought my paint job was screwed when my white car became pitted with these rust spots. A local body shop told me to try Meguiar's Clay Kit and I am very impressed with it's effectiveness. I could actually see the rust in the clay as it removed it from my car's paint. It did not harm my car in the slightest and after a post-clay waxing, my car looked brand new. I will be doing this on a yearly basis to ensure the life of the paint on all of my vehicles. see less

My son bought his first at an Ohio Target, and I then bought mine at one in MA. It works GREAT. I use mine with my iPhone 4 and the Mophie Juice Pack attached, and it fits perfectly. I use the TeleNav GPS program in the vertical mode, which I think gives the best perspective view. It also positions the phone perfectly for hands free phone speaking with the speakerphone in the iPhone. No complaints, except for a rising price. My GF just bought one, and it cost about 5 dollars more than a year ago. see less

After reading the previous 2 reviews, decided to take a chance on this mount. It has the features I was looking for and it just the right size. I have had it for over a month now and its worked great. One thing I have not done is try to remove it from the windshield, but I took care to twist the mounting screw until it was snug and stop there. The plastic arms that hold the phone seem a little fragile, but after a month of securing and releasing my phone whenever I enter and leave the car, I have not had any issues. I like this mount.
