5.0 out of 5 stars Looks good so far ..., March 23, 2007

By	B. Style - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Seems to work just fine -- have only used it for cell phone and small game units. The advantage of this smaller unit is no fan - quiet. Some devices will require the power of the larger (noisy fan) model. Low cost inverters such as this produce electric power that is an approximate sine wave as opposed the perfect sine wave that come out of a wall outlet -- as far I know this isn't a problem for typical consumer electronic equipment, laptops etc -- but it's probably worth checking the user manual of the device to be powered just to make sure there are no precautions about using it with an inverter. However, the AC motors in things like power tools and appliances may run a bit lest efficiently when connected to an (inexpensive) inverter.

*** Update ***

We've used this with a variety of cell phone/ipod/handheld game chargers and so far haven't experienced any problems.

I have used it with lets' say 1) Think pad Laptop charger, 2) Ipod Charger 3) Cell phone charger and it has worked flawlessly. It's been more than a year and a half now. A very good feature is auto-shut off in case of overload or no-load.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small, inexpensive, reliable, October 4, 2005

I used the Tripp lite to charge my PowerBook and digital camera during a cross country trip to grad school. It worked great and I had no problems. The only thing I could have used was a second outlet.
