Review on πŸ”Œ Wagan Smart AC 200W Inverter with 5V 2.1A USB Power Port by Clint Fick

Revainrating 3 out of 5

while it works fine. good for jump starters, chargers and portable power supplies

I've read a few other reviews here where people have complained that when they plug into the cigarette lighter they don't have enough power for their application and I just had to shake my head. Most cigarette lighter covers have a nice sticker on the inside that clearly states the maximum consumption of 120 watts. Use the included battery clips if you want to run something that uses more power. A 400W inverter can only run what is fed to it. So don't blame the product for not putting out 400W when plugged into a 120W outlet. As for the battery, this little thing started my blender, which used close to 800 watts on startup and worked great under load (ice cream and margaritas!). As others have said, the fan stays on and it's a little noisy, but whatever you're currently running will likely make the same noise, with the exception of the phone charger. All in all, so far so good, and a lot less than I expected.

Pros
  • Plenty of safety features
Cons
  • I'll write again later
