4.0 out of 5 stars Linksys L03040 Power Inverter, March 28, 2001

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys L03040 Power 2GO Inverter - Car Cigarette Lighter Power Supply (Personal Computers)

Like all Linksys merchandise, this power inverter is well made and sold at fraction of the cost of comparable brands. I use this power inverter to run a small printer that I take with me and use inconjunction with my laptop. It powers this fine, but this is not a DC to AC inverter designed for large appliances. If you want to run something small like a laptop, lamp, small microwave, small refridgerator, it's great.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another Fuse..., July 16, 2005

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys L03040 Power 2GO Inverter - Car Cigarette Lighter Power Supply (Personal Computers)

It came with the stickers all peeling off. Used it for about a month and the item failed on me. Then the bad news, it blew the fuses in my car and all my electronics stopped working. Tried it on a friends car and I blew his fuses (car and person). Look for something else. Seems to be a common problem.

UPDATE: Linksys replaced this product instantly. Works but a little worried it will fail again.

UPDATE ON UPDATE: Died again...

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys L03040 Power 2GO Inverter - Car Cigarette Lighter Power Supply (Personal Computers)

This product works great as we have used it a good few times
for operating a laptop in the car.
However, it gets very-very hot very quickly. Not sure if this
is normal.
