5.0 out of 5 stars Compact and useful, March 4, 2010

I bought this inverter because of its compact size. Since my car only has one power point (cig lighter), it's like a 3-way adapter.

I've used it for awhile now and works well for me. I mainly use the household outlet for keeping my laptop topped off on the road and sometimes the USB port to recharge my iPod after a long day. If I had to, I can also plug in my cell phone charger into the second household outlet.

Most other inverters were much larger and would have been messier.

mmm. I definitely was expecting something a little different. It works okay. They haven't perfected a way for what you plug in to actually stay in. It's not the greatest compatibility. You have to maybe turn it side ways so it doesn't fall out. I get a little annoyed with things like that. You pay good money for something to deliver convenience or some sort of gratification and you still wind up settling a little. I had to turn it a few times. Push it back in a few times. If you hit a bump it might move. It is quiet though. My friend has one from another company that is noisy as hell. That would definitely annoy me more so I guess it's the lesser of evils. I'm sure with a little research there is a better version that we can totally feel confident in. So in closing if you don't mind a few things a little off and you can work around them then try it. I'm sure I'll get another type to compare because I put them in different vehicles and I'm always on the road.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cheap in more ways than one, August 3, 2010

Bought this items primarily because of price and dual outlets, but wish now I had bought another. It works, but is frustrating. My primary complaint is getting this thing to stay in and connected. The metal contacts on the side are too thick and without sufficient "spring" to make good contact and hold it in place. The end contact has no spring at all, so if the unit wiggles out a fraction of an inch it loses contact and goes off. The plastic locking switch is so inaccessible and hard to move that it is effectively useless. The AC outlet contacts are so cheap that they don't hold plugs at all...they just slide in and out. Finally, when it rolled off the seat and out the door one day (maybe a one-foot drop), the cheap plastic clip that holds the unit together broke (easily remedied with some glue). If you're only concerned about price...well, I would still look at other options.
