Nice...
Bought this from Home Depot for $99, plan on using it camping. I inflated two aero beds, a football and let a small fan run continously for 6 hours until it died. Great little unit however just a little heavy for a long hike in camp spot.

Short Battery Life
I received this model as a gift for Christmas 07. It did in fact save me one morning from a dead battery. That was the first and only time I used it for that purpose. The next time I tried using it, the battery was totally dead.. So dead it wouldn't power the LED lights on the front. It sat in the garage plugged in the whole time. Whether this was a bad idea or not, I don't know.

The compressor worked decently for topping off tires. I just (today) purchased a replacement internal battery from zbattery dot com for over $70 after shipping. I was half tempted to just replace this, but thirty bucks is thirty bucks. And if you do have to replace the battery, the innards of this thing are a booger to get to. More screws and wires than I expected.

Super handy, never let us down
We recieved this for x-mas '07. We use it all the time. We have a boat and have loaned it out to other boat owners at the lake many many times to jump start their boat. We've used it on a truck twice when we left the interior light on all night. We also use it to air up bike tires. During bad weather (we live in OK) we have used it to power our cable and tv during storms when they knocked out the power to the rest of the house (tornado season). Very useful. I would recommend everyone have one of these. We will probably buy more one for each one of our vehicles.

Does the job....
This works very easily and does its job. Haven't tried the tire pump yet. Hope not to have to use it. Just remember to recharge this every 60 days so it will still work.

Reliable jump starter
I got this for Christmas and keep it in my car at all times. As a female I like to be safe and know I can easily and independently jump my car if my battery dies any time- day or night. I have a bad habit of leaving my lights on when I park on rainy days. I have been stranded and needed to use this device several times so far and it came through every time. It even jumped my car several times without being recharged which was amazing! Needless to say I had to replace my car battery (which was overdue anyway). But the minute it takes to hook this up and put it back in the trunk sure beats the hour waiting for AAA. You do need an extension cord to recharge it though- a minor sacrifice. I also know I'll have this handy device for when the power goes out in my apartment so I can charge my cell phone or keep my food from spoiling.
