2.0 out of 5 stars Not truly 140 watts..., August 16, 2003

This review is from: Sima SPV-1 140 Watt Power Inverter (Electronics)

I purchased this unit from a Radio Shack in town (for way too much money, might I add) and was very upset to discover that by "140watt" they mean "70 watts per plug" (the device has two AC outlets on it.) Plugging in my Dell laptop adapter (which pulls exactly 70 watts) caused the unit to overload, and it popped the fuse inside of the cigarette lighter itself. Furthermore Radio Shack wouldn't take it back because they claimed I damaged it. Anyhow, the unit feels sort of cheaply constructed, and when it was "on", it smelt like burning electronics. I wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it.

Go with another manufacturer, this company makes garbage.

This is a GREAT power inverter for the car! I use it for plugging my laptop in so I can charge it and play music while driving. High recommended, and I've never had a problem with it! *****
