4.0 out of 5 stars Great little inverter, good for laptop, February 25, 2007

I bought one of these at Walmart for around $15 when I couldn't find my no-name inverters. This one has worked great, I take it on every plane trip I go on. Normally I use this to power my laptop ($15 for an inverter is better than 50-100 for a laptop-specific DC power adapter, if you can even find one). One time when the battery was low, the inverter kept shutting itself off. It would work for a few seconds, then quit until I unplugged + plugged it back in. My theory is that when the laptop battery was extremely low, the power adapter was drawing more wattage than this little inverter could handle. Other than that one time, I've had no problems. Has a little fan noise, normally not noticeable. Definitely recommended, nicer (better built) than the no-name inverters I've tried.

I believe that if everyone would put one of these in their car they would wonder how they did without. Many uses including laptop charge, cell phone, and cordless drills. The noise that the other reviewer refers to is from the fan keeping the unit cool.

Excellent product as it is small, light and without an unnecessary power cord. The bending head is ideal for getting the connected power cord out of the way in a vehicle. Replaces a big & bulky unit that I used to use.
