Customer Reviews
Quality product.
I just completed a 4500 mile road trip, and we used this invertor many hours each day to power a laptop running DVD movies for the kids (and their parents!). Operation was flawless: The unit doesn't get too hot, it's quiet, and supplied plenty of power.
My only negative comment would be about the power button and power indicator light. The button could be more prominently marked and the light could be brighter; after all, this is made to be used in a car, where lighting is never ideal. Overall, though, the quality is excellent, especially compared to some other units that I looked at which appeared to have been made in someone's garage.

Not enough for most laptops
I bought the 175 W invertor thinking it would be sufficient for laptops but it did not work at all. after checking the specs on several laptops it appears that 175 Watts continous is a common standard, and this inverter only provides 130 watts continuous. Seems like misleading advertising. Check your laptop requirements before purchasing if that's your intended use.

performs as advertised
I bought this item a few months ago and I love it. Provides enough power to run my laptop and GPS at the same time (I have my GPS hooked up to the USB port and laptop hooked up to the AC port). I Have had no problem with it whatsoever. I would highly recommend it.
