Are Vixen Horn manual crank sirens worth the money?

Wed Aug 05, 2020 8:02 pm

I was looking at this one to buy one day. https://www.amazon.com/Vixen-Horns-130d ... 075&sr=8-8 I just tried cranking a 30 dollar siren that my boss bought. He bought this one. https://www.amazon.com/Homend-Operated- ... 657&sr=8-4 That one has the not so good sound of ball bearings rattling when you start to wind up the siren. It make it sound very shoddy and cheap. Does the vixen horns siren have this issue?

No, they aren't worth 40/30 bucks. The gears wear very easily.
Otherwise, the chopper/stator assembly is very much worth the money, I would recommend running it with compressed air. It makes it much louder.

You mean the much cheaper Homend Base Mount Air Raid Siren is not worth it? I should buy the 213 dollar vixen horns siren instead?

I don't think you should buy either...
I think you should buy an MS-390. But if you want to take you're chances at a Homend, do it. I'm not stopping you.

I already have the Homend siren from amazon. You say the vixen horns siren gears wear easy? or you mean the Homend siren gears?

They are all basically the same model, so I wouldn't say its different for either.

अच्छी तरह से अमेज़ॅन की वेबसाइट को देखने वाला वह है जिसे यह लड़का देख रहा था। 214 $ के लिए जा रहा था दोनों उत्पादों पर छवियों की जांच मैंने कुछ प्रमुख अंतर देखे।
(Well looking at Amazon's website is what this guy was looking for. Was going for 214 $. Checking the images on both products I noticed some major differences.)

मैं 200 $ एक के साथ शुरू करूँगा, हेलिकॉप्टर के लिए आवास ऐसा दिखता है जैसे कि इसे स्टेनलेस स्टील के साथ बनाया गया था और इसमें अलग-अलग वातावरण के लिए बढ़ते हार्डवेयर हैं।
(I'll start with the 200$ one, the housing for the chopper looks like it was made with stainless steel and has mounting hardware for different environments.)

30 $ केवल बढ़ते हार्डवेयर नहीं है। और धातु ऐसा लग रहा है कि इसे साफ करना बहुत आसान है।
(The 30$ only does not have mounting hardware. and the metal looks like it is very easy to dent.)

कुल मिलाकर मुझे लगता है कि 200 $ एक स्पष्ट रूप से बेहतर विकल्प है, हालांकि यह चीजों के अतिरंजित पक्ष पर थोड़ा सा हो सकता है। मुझे लगता है कि यह किसी के लिए एक बेहतरीन स्टार्टर सायरन है जो एक जलपरी एंट्री होने के नाते है।
(overall i think the 200$ one is clearly the better choice although it may be a little bit on the overpriced side of things. I think this is a great starter siren for anyone getting into being a siren enthusiast :) .)

जैसे कि मैं एक सायरन उत्साही होने के लिए नया हूं और मेरे पास सायरन के लिए नीलामी करने के लिए पैसे नहीं हैं, इसलिए एक हाथ से क्रैंक सायरन खरीदना मेरी एकमात्र पसंद है और क्या मुझे लगता है कि यह लायक है।
(Such as Me I am new to being a Siren enthusiast and i don't have the money to auction for sirens so buying a hand crank siren is my only choice and a do think it is worth what it is.)
