I have used this product to inflate bicycle tires successfully on several occasions, used the DC outlet to recharge a GPS, and yesterday my car battery (2000 Honda Civic) went dead so i got a chance to try the jump starter. Worked fine and was able to jump start the car several times.

Downsides to the product: inverter is a little noisy, and the initial charge time to charge this product takes 34 hours from an AC outlet.

Also the inverter switch is not behind a panel the way the other switches are; this would have been useful to have because it means I need to keep the product in its box to prevent the inverter switch from accidentally turning on if the device rolls around in my trunk.

This thing is pretty amazing in what it can do for the low price. Sure, it has it's drawbacks, such as a relatively weak 500ma charger & noisy inverter, but all those things can be forgiven by the small price tag. I use the inverter to run my laptop when I am away from a power source and I can usually get a few hours worth of use out it. This thing was much cheaper than buying a new laptop battery and can do so much more. If it were any more expensive then I would say pass but for the price it is definitely worth it.

I received this product about a year and a half ago as a gift. Just last week the air compressor stopped working. It would still run, but would not inflate. Even though the 90 day warranty was over, I called 1-800-477-5847 to see what my options were. The representative from Old World Industries was willing to send me a new one even though the warranty had long expired. I find that type of customer service very rare today.
