cheap...
This product is horrible. It is feels really cheap and isn't that all necessary to the wii. The wireless sensor bar is ok, but big, bulgy, and is hard to put it where you want it to go. The wii air cooler was a peice of junk, it was making a very loud squeking noise and eventually broke. I have no hard feelings for the charge station. Overall, not a pleasant experience. If you can afford better, please stay away from this product.
Charging The Wii, While It Cools Down?
When it comes to great products for the Nintendo Wii, a lot of third-party companies do a average, but not recommended job at making products that are of use for a game system. Although there are some that work, not all are great at the end of the day. This Wii Pro Starter Kit is a package containing 3 products for use with the Wii that includes a rechargable kit, for when you need to charge up a specialized battery pack, that is plugged in to charge up the Wii-Remote, a wireless sensor bar which at times tends to malfunction, unlike the actual wired one Nintendo made for the system, and the cooling fan that you plug in to the 2 USB ports to keep the system from overheating, especially when you're using Wiiconnect 24/7. While the cooling fan is the one item I absolutely think is the must buy, because it doesn't malfunction and does the job right, the other 2 products aren't really worth paying for from Intec.

Good, not great...
This pack is just as described. The wireless sensor and charger make it worth the money. The fan's value is questionable, but it seems fine. It does take up both usb ports and only has one pass-through usb, so you end up losing one port. The overall build of these is fine, nothing spectacular, but good for the price. I would buy again.
One final comment, the glowing blue light on the charger is a little annoying.
