Just What I Needed!
This product was just what I was looking for for my Subaru Crosstrek. We had downsized recently to a smaller SUV and needed a bit more storage for camping and trips to the cottage. The Pulse M has really done the trick and we were super pleased with the quality of the unit as well as how easy it was to install on our vehicle!

Nice ski-oriented roof compartment
Nice equipment. I had to buy the roof mounting bracket, crossbar mounting bracket and crossbars, in addition to the compartment. So a purchase that was about twice what I had thought I would spend. Equipment appears well-made and quite solid. Haven't used it yet but do not anticipate any issues. The only opportunity for improvement is the directions...that are not so good RE details, etc...and the QR code to additional direction did not work. I found a couple YouTube videos that helped.

Works but….
The mechanical mechanisms are clunky to use - closing the box and turning the nob for example. The hinges are wobbly and one broke recently as we prepped for a trip. They are overpriced for what you get.

You get what you pay for
The box holds a good amount for its size. Although the box itself is rather flimsy. The wind noise isn't the worst at highway speeds. Although at highway speeds, even with the clamps super tight, the box will rattle from the wind. For the price point, I think it could be better.

Easy to set up and use
If you need a bit of extra room on your trips, this box is perfect. Currently being used on my wife’s Impreza and she loves it! First use was on a 7 hour drive and basically forgot it was there, no noise and minimal wind resistance when set up properly.

The Thule Plus M is Great!
This is a great basic carrier. I didn't need all the features some of the more expensive models have like opening from both sides. It holds a lot, and it is pretty quiet on top of my Jeep Wrangler. Quality is just what you expect, "Top Notch"

Perfect
Bought this for a camping trip up at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The carrier performed perfectly. Installation on my 2019 Rav 4 Adventure with OEM roof rack was quick and easy. Carrier was secure the whole trip with no adjustments needed. No noticeable wind drag or drop in gas mileage. Loading and unloading was easy relatively speaking. So far I am a happy customer.

Very spacious
Ive used this a few times on car camping trips and wasn't expecting it to hold too much, since my car is on the smaller side(Subaru Impreza) but its amazing. Easily accessible and perfect for all weather. Went through snow, rain, and 100+ degrees with all my belongings safe. LOVE IT
