Customer Reviews:

fine product

I bought this for powering a laptop while on the road since it was cheaper than an OEM 12v power supply. It has worked without a hiccup for 20+ hours at this point with no odd smells obvious power fluctuations or problems. Honestly the fan noise isn't a problem.

So Far So Good

I bought the Micro Inverter for occasional use with my laptop while on the road to avoid the problem of running out of battery power. So far so good, it works pretty well and the complaint of it's fan being noisy which I read from other reviews hasn't really bothered me. It certainly seems a handy tool and can be recommended for anyone with similar needs.

Very satisfied, helped us throughout our Trip to Florida

I bought this product for our trip to Florida. Product worked great everytime we used it. It charged my kids Nintendo DS, our Laptop and Video Camera multiple times without any issue. I was little skeptical about its noise which I read in some reviews but honestly, I did not even notice it. Take my advice, buy it and enjoy the product, its worth it.

Effective product at a good price

I simply had to replace a similar product that has worn out. This is an inexpensive and useful way to keep various units playing or charged in a vehicle without having to purchase a separate car charger for each.
