 Great little inverter October 17, 2005

This little inverter is perfect because there are no bulky boxes or wires running all over the floor of the car. Perfect for my laptop and for my cell phone charger. It has it's own little fan built in that keeps it from overheating. So far so good!

I am a traveling sales guy , and I use this thing everyday, I purchased this one after I recieved 2 broken Wagon tech ones from amazon, This brand is BY FAR the most well put together, built very solid, and works well. I usually never write reviews, but I had to for this one.

I fly American Airlines coast to coast. Most American planes have DC outlets under the seats. I was able to plug the converter in the DC socket, plug my computer into the AC outlet and work and use the internet service without running out of battery power....Highly recommend for this application. Just make sure you purchase the correct wattage rating. I use a Dell laptop and the 175Watt rating worked well.
Great little device! February 14, 2007

I am very pleased with this device. It allows me to use my laptop in the car. It is cheap to buy and small for travel. It does have a fan that makes noise, but I don't notice it when we are on the road, except when it is really cold outside (0F), when it whines for a bit, but then quiets down. It doesn't seem to interfere with the radio at all. It might not fit if your cigarette lighter is in a tight space, but it is fine on my car and a couple of rental cars that we used. It also worked in the plugs on American Airline's plane and was so easy to carry around! I have had other devices that were much bulkier and much more finicky about the power coming from our old car's battery. Bottom line: it is a price performer!
Great way to charge things on the road June 8, 2007

This thing is great. I used it to charge my laptop during my driving tour of D.C and Virginia. The fan noise is pretty low. When the music was on, it was very hard to hear the fan. Now I do not need carry different car chargers for different electronics any more.
