5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for powering 12 V appliances when out of your vehicle., June 22, 2010

This review is from: Black & Decker / Vector Travel Mate 6.0 Amp AC/DC Converter (Electronics)

This is a must have if traveling with a 12V Thermoelectric Cooler, or any 12 volt appliance that you will need when out of your vehicle. That could be for a overnight motel stay or for an extended stay without a direct 12V power source. All you need is a 110 volt wall outlet.

This converter is compatible with B&D cooler's, but will also work well with most other coolers and 12V appliances provided they don't have over a 6 amp power draw, " Most are under 6 amp ". This works well for pre cooling your cooler before putting it in your vehicle. It also has a green LED light to let you know it is on.

The Converter will get quite warm when in use this is normal, all converters do it. When you buy a converter make sure it is 6 Amp, much less than that probably won't work on some larger appliances.

I have used this converter for quite a few years now with my Black & Decker TC212B Travel Cooler & Warmer and my Koolatron Voyager Thermoelectric Cooler - P-27 which I also have with no problems whatsoever in all that time. After you hopefully give me a thumbs up on this review, check out my reviews on the two coolers listed here. Thanx.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful enough to power the Grip On Electric Scissor Jack from a 120V outlet, October 31, 2008

This product was just what I needed to power my Grip On Electric Scissor Jack (which I also bought on Amazon) from a 120V outlet. Since the jack didn't come with amperage specs I had to guess and I tried several other AC/DC converters that were not powerful enough. This 6.0 AMP device seems to do the job.

1.0 out of 5 stars Product failed after 1 week of use, September 14, 2007

I purchased the Vector run a 4-amp max rated thermoelectric cooler, and it worked well for 1 week. The Vector just quit on me. I am disappointed with the product not only for the obvious longevity issue, but the total lack of any serviceable reset or overload protection. My recommendation: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
