5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT, January 23, 2005

By	Bryan "Bryan" (Colorado Springs, CO USA) - See all my reviews

this inverter does wonders. On a road trip this past summer, we drove from colorado all the way out to new york city, with many stops in between. The whole time, we had the tv and ps2 hooked up thru the inverter, and never did we have any problems. played constantly, it was great. DEFINITELY BUY IT if you are looking for a way for your kids to have fun in the car, or wherever. WORTH EVERY LAST PENNY!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Value, August 23, 2007

By	L. Flier (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is quite a nice unit for the money. Mine came with two cords - the cigarette lighter cord shown in the picture and a cord with alligator clips for connecting directly to the battery. It has an automatic short circuit detector and shutdown, a low battery voltage alarm and low voltage shutdown so you won't wreck your car battery, and automatic overload detection and shutdown. It has two outlets, a power switch, and an automotive type fuse, and an attractive metal case. Fairly impressive for the price.

I've only had this for a week so I can't speak about its reliability. I can confirm the fan noise, but I looked around a bit and that seems to be a common complaint about all the small inverters. The outlets have a ground pin, but users should not be deceived -- unless the unit itself is grounded (to a ground stake) the only ground is the chassis of the car. That's true for all of these units.

3.0 out of 5 stars So far it was good, now it started giving noise., April 18, 2005

By	Suresh Vemuri (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this a year back. It worked great for 1 year. I always use this whenever I go for trips. It still works without any problem except it recently started giving some noise(probably because of the fan).You can definetely get irritated unless you have music on with good volume.
