As a user of the VIPERTEK VTS-989 Stun Gun for self-defense, I have found it to be a reliable and practical tool. Here’s my detailed review based on my experience:### Design and BuildThe VIPERTEK VTS-989 has a sturdy and compact design, making it easy to carry and use. The non-slip rubber coating ensures a firm grip, which is crucial in a tense situation. The device feels solid in hand and seems durable enough to withstand regular use and some rough handling.### PerformanceThe stun gun delivers a powerful jolt, which is its main selling point. The electric charge is strong enough to deter potential threats effectively. The sound alone is intimidating and can act as a deterrent. During a test, the device produced a loud, crackling noise, which is reassuring in terms of its capability.### Safety FeaturesThe built-in safety switch and a red LED indicator light help prevent accidental discharge, which adds to the overall safety of the device. This feature is particularly important to ensure that the stun gun is only activated when intended.### FlashlightThe built-in LED flashlight is a useful addition. While it's not the brightest flashlight available, it provides adequate illumination for short distances and can be handy in dark or low-light situations. The flashlight's dual functionality adds value to the device, making it more versatile for everyday use.### RechargeabilityThe rechargeable battery is convenient, eliminating the need to constantly buy and replace batteries. The stun gun comes with a built-in plug for easy charging, and it holds a charge well. However, it’s important to keep it regularly charged to ensure it’s ready when needed.### Pros- **Powerful stun capability:** The electric charge is potent and effective.- **Compact and portable:** Easy to carry in a bag or on a belt with the provided holster.- **Safety features:** Prevents accidental discharge.- **Rechargeable:** Cost-effective and environmentally friendly.- **Flashlight function:** Adds practicality for everyday use.### Cons- **Flashlight brightness:** Could be brighter for more effective use in dark environments.- **Size:** While compact, it might still be a bit bulky for some users.- **Charging time:** Can take several hours to fully charge, so planning ahead is necessary.### ConclusionOverall, the VIPERTEK VTS-989 Stun Gun is a dependable self-defense tool that combines power and practicality. It’s well-suited for personal protection and comes with useful features that enhance its functionality. Despite some minor drawbacks, such as flashlight brightness and charging time, its performance and safety features make it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to enhance their personal security.

Taser sounds very powerful it's loud. Works great and the flashlight is useful I can imagine (haven't needed to use that.) Charged and bought this over a month ago and it's still ready to zap, battery hasn't drained or anything. Worth the purchase and relatively cheap.Edit; 5/17/2023; Taser still works great; I still have not needed to charge it since I bought it. I have used the flashlight on it many times it is very convenient. I also test the taser anytime I go for a late night walk, so I am very surprised that I have not needed to recharge the battery. I first bought this product on August 25, 2022. I highly recommend this taser after nearly a year of reliable use. This product was the first taser I've ever purchased and I feel as if I made the correct decision.Edit; 6/2/2023; Still haven't needed to charge it, amazing. For the first time since I've purchased it me and my brother tested it on ourselves. We both took a turn testing it on the left "cheek". We only did a very short burst/zap and goodness, you can tell if it had gone on for a second, even two it would have made me fall down/the legs go out. It felt as if I got a big prick on the cheek but a prick that makes you go forward like a cartoon saying "YOOOOUCH". it left a red spot the size of about 3 quarters put together which went away within the hour. I can personally say this would make a person think twice, even if they had a melee weapon. We took all safety precautions, and since I haven't charged it since I purchased the taser it most likely wasn't the full effect. And I had pants on, do not try this on yourself, and be safe fellas.Edit 7/17/2023; Finally have to charge it but I lost the charger It's been so long. Gonna have to find out what chord it uses to get a new one. Still a good product.Edit 6/22/2024; Got a charger a few months back, taser still working great.

Fits the hand like a glove, the safety features for this was made with perfection and this little guy is exactly what I expected it to be! The light is bright enough, especially since no one bought this to use as a flashlight, and there is a red light indicator that lights up so you know it is ready to "zap".I bought this simply because we are in an odd time as far as public safety goes. As a female living in California, I like to walk around and feel safe. I have experience in self defense tactics and have no problems using what I know if it ever should come to it. But there are times when you question just how good the things you have learned will be good enough. Especially if I'm alone. Shortly after I purchased this item, I had a little "issue" in a Walmart parking lot, and I actually forgot that I had this on me! I was able to get the man to back down and see that I was "not an easy target", and after making it home safely without incident (except some LOUD choice words from my end), it was only then that I realized I had weapons on me. (whoopsie).I am writing this review now because I recently took this out while I was watering my back pasture and accidentally forgot to turn the unit completely off. I used the flashlight to find the stupid nozzle that I dropped. Well I bent over & gave myself quite the UNPLEASANT zap. All I can say is this thing is tiny but MIGHTY powerful. I don't know if I will ever use this on someone, but God help THEM if the day ever does come!! I read the "instructions" on the manufacturers website & let's just say that I'll gladly follow instructions then quickly be back on my way! In today's day, a girl my size can never be over prepared, and I would rather have options than feel limited. (I wouldn't recommend trying this on yourself in advance!! I can promise the biggest man that even he would regret that decision!) As I'm writing this I am expecting 2 more to arrive tomorrow :)
