Strong and durable product

I've had the same product in my car for over 10 years and have used it to charge my walker, phone and watch so I bought one for my wife. You can charge 2 things at the same time and even connect Christmas lights if you want.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

Already dead when arrived. Do not buy

Ordered for a trip and after trying 3 different sockets in one car and again in another car it didn't turn on. The green power indicator is not lit. I will definitely return it. I ended up buying one at a retail store for $10 but was very disappointed that it didn't work at all.

Pros
  • Continuous test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Does the job well. good for inverter

Works great. I'm not sure if it has a fan or not, but either way it's very quiet, if not completely silent. Works well to power my laptop. By the way, before buying an inverter, it's a good idea to check the power rating of whatever you plan to power. Locate the numbers on your device's power adapter. If it shows you amps instead of watts, you need to multiply amps by voltage to find the number of watts. For example, a "5V 10A" power supply would have an output of 50W.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Has limitations, some of which are unacceptable

Good: Compact No switch Moderately quiet fan Bad: Standby current consumption 230mA, slightly higher as the fan runs up to 5V, meaning it's on battery power better keep an eye on it or it will destroy your battery. Output proportional to input, zero regulation. At 12V input I get about 110V output, at 14.3V (which my machine measures) I get close to 140V. This inverter will work for AC devices that use a SMPS or equivalent power supply, but forget about this at any linear power accessory, itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
