Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this vent mount just to see if it would be sufficient and since the windshield mount would not remain attached, not to mention the theft-inviting attribute of the windshield mount.
The unit is very good once attached.
Attaching and removing the unit is difficult since the pressure points where the clips are opened are very difficult to operate. This difficulty is enhanced by the fear that the unit could be broken fairly easily. Once attached, it is very good overall--enough adjustment is provided for angle and rotation, and on my 2 vehicles, the unit is stable without excess movement or vibration. This has been born-out with a 3200 mile trip to Mexico on rough roads, especially in the Mexican interior--possibly due to the tight clamping that is unfortunately part of the hassle factor of removing/attaching to vents--while mounted in a 2004 4X4 Supercrew on round AC vents (which is recommended against by the mount manufacturer).
Depending on the vehicle, leaving the unit on the mount is much less inviting to thievery vs. dash or windshield mount. Removing the GPS unit that I have (see my review of Magellan Maestro 3220 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Text-to-Speech) leaves an even decreased theft-attraction, and again even less when removing the GPS backplate attached to the vent mount.
4 stars due to overall effectiveness but be forewarned per removing and attaching hassles to AC vents.
