Review on πŸ”Œ Rally 200W Power Inverter with USB Port, Cup Holder-friendly Design, Dual USB Ports & 120VAC Outlets (7413) by Stephen Zimmer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am very happy with this converter!

I debated for a long time whether I should buy this converter or a simpler one that is $10 cheaper. I ended up choosing this one and I'm very glad I did! The converter has a fan that's audible when the power plugs are in use (with the power button on), but to be honest, unless you drive a super-quiet BMW, Mercedes or Cadillac, you probably won't notice that fan not. If you have air conditioning and/or a radio, this will likely drown out the fan noise. Even if your car's cigarette lighter stays on after you turn off your car, you will appreciate the fan as it reminds you to turn off the converter to prevent your car's battery from being drained. Space to use all outlets in most environments. I used this converter all weekend on a 1000+ mile trip and it worked great, powering all the devices we need along the way (GPS, cell phones, laptops, speed cameras, etc.). I'll update this review if I find anything negative to say about this converter, but I like it compared to the older one I have: Targus Mobile Power Converter PAPWR005U I like the Targus converter (and it's cheaper), but obviously is the rated power. The Targus converter is much lower and the DC plug is angled towards the AC plug, making it difficult to use both plugs at the same time (although it is possible). So compared to Targus (and after a lot of research before buying) I am very satisfied with this Rally converter and I highly recommend it.
