We used this inverter on a 24 hour car trip to power a laptop, cell phones, a DS and a DVD player. It worked perfectly. I worried that it would get hot or be loud - it was neither hot nor loud. I am really happy with this inverter. My only complaint is that it is hard to tell if the inverter is turned on or off- the light did not light up (I am not sure if it is supposed to). The unit is larget than some of the single outlet inverters, but the size is worth it if you want two outlets. Nice product.

I keep this inverter in my car.. just in case.. im thinkin i might need it to charge my laptop or my cell when im traveling.. its been there for a while in my car.. i didn't use it yet.. but i tried it and it works and its there so when i need it i know i can use it :)

The box came with two cables.. one that goes into the cig lighter and one with clippers that can be connected directly to the battery when u need more power. The quality is good and assembly for the wires needs nothing.. the screws can be done by hand..

Before I bought this unit I had read all the 5 stars rating but reality beats anything. I use this unit for a laptop and this cobra bites its own tail instead of charging my laptop. Plus the programm I use--Microsoft office 2007 starts behaving so strangely its not possible to do anything.
Avoid.

Bought this recently and it works wonderfully in my car to power a number of small AC equipment. Nice carrying case too.

Received promptly in great shape - is attractive, compact, works as described - and was competitively priced. Well satisfied with this purchase so far.
