Noise, Noise, Noise
I purchased this unit with the anticipation of powering my music to perform. The amount of noise coming from this unit's power was ridiculous. These guys have a long was to go in cleaning this up. I even went as far as buying a stage 2 power filter and it didn't even phase the noise. So...back it went. Beware!

Good Idea - badly manufactured...
I initially bought this product to use on a campsite at Rothbury Music Festival - mainly to keep our cell phones charged up and listen to a radio/cd player. It worked well, however, the face panel on the unit did not work correctly and would not display the wattage/battery percentage. I returned the item to amazon and they sent me another very fast. This unit, however, experienced the same issues as the first.

I can attest that the battery worked well, but I was unable to calculate how long it actually lasted because the digital panel on the front didn't work correctly.

Overall, not worth the money until they correctly manufacture this unit.

this thing DELIVERS
I had originally purchased Sears' version -- which was quickly returned. It had an air compressor that would overheat the unit, and to run DC source, the inverter needed to be turned on and was so loud i could not hear my radio.

I've used this Duracell600 a few times now and it is awesome. Ran my Bose Wave radio on the beach all day, 4 days in a row (would recharge at night) - and the day I left the beachhouse, my truck's battery was completely dead. Pulled this thing out and jumped it on the first try. This thing really is sweet.

Great item at a great price
This item is better then I thought. I think the best feature is the display that tells you how many watts a plugged in device is using so that you can estimte how much time it will last. Yes it is heavy, it is giant battery after all but for those of us that live in an apartment and cannout use a gas powered generator this is a great alternative. The price is great and you will kick your self the next time your power goes out and you say to yourself "Why didn't I get one of these when I had the chance and before the power had gone out ?". Get it before you are in a situation that you need it and you will not regret it, I am actually considering buying 2 more.

Only 1 out of 3 units worked
Had to try 3 units to get 1 that would hold a charge.
good luck...
