I set this up in the mini-van in my driveway. Immediately upon attaching the phone, I became hopeful that this product would be great. My phone went from three bars to five. A great sign that this product does what it claims. Unfortunately, that's the most positive thing I can say about it.

The negative feelings started with the installation. With a Honda Odyssey, the ideal configuration is to have the antenna go out through the one of the rear windows. Unfortunately, the cable is not long enough to do that unless you want it hanging across the center of your cabin. Should work fine on a coupe, sedan or pickup truck, or if you run the cable out one of the forward windows. The magnet on the base of the antenna is pretty strong, though I do wonder how it would have stood up to the nine feet of snow we got in this vicinity over the past few months. Because I was not happy with some of the other factors, I didn't bother to mount it to the dashboard. I would have been hesitant to do so in any case since it mounts with a large adhesive pad. I would prefer a suction mount or a dashboard beanbag. Unless you have the ability, I would recommend professional installation.

All that said, if the performance were exceptional, it would be worth it for many who live on the edges of excellent cell coverage. As I mentioned, I was hopeful at first use, but alas, it didn't stand the test I set out for it. There is a five mile stretch near my home that has iffy coverage. When I was a Verizon customer, I never successfully transited that stretch without dropping a call. Upon joining Sprint recently, I have driven it twice without a drop. Today, the calls dropped quite readily while connected to the weBoost. I pulled my phone free while driving through that area, the bar level improved, and I was able to again connect a call. While doing this, I noted another troubling issue. The metal connector where the antenna attaches to the base was quite warm to the touch. I don't know if this is normal, but it wasn't something I'd expect.

I will say that I plugged my Galaxy S5 into the device with the Otterbox cover on it. Removing the case might improve the performance, but such a requirement would make the product unusable for my purposes. It might be suitable for a traveling business person who spends a lot of time on the road in mediocre coverage areas, but it isn't worth the trouble for me.

With high cost, an imperfect installation and iffy performance, I can't recommend this product.
