 Good but what the description doesn't say August 15, 2009
John St Germain (Texas USA)

What the description does not say (and why I give it only 3 stars) is that it has a maximum continuous output of 560 watts. This is right below the limit of what I need. So don't buy this is 560 isn't enough. Other than that it works just fine and it gives a nice annoying alarm when the source battery charge drops--either that or it was a thermal alarm.
I now get to do more research and find an inverter that actually will put out 700 watts continuous. (Looking at the Black-Decker-750-Watt-Inverter which says it handles 750w continuous and peaks at 1500 or maybe the Coleman 800w Power Inverter which peeks at 1600w.)
 700 watt inverter sucsess July 26, 2009
Truth betold
This product works very well and I have no complaints. It will run a 32" TV computer and DVD player all at the same time with no problem. It will however not run very many power tools as they require just a bit more juice than what this unit can provide. I have no doubt though, that if I were to buy a more powerful inverter of the same brand name, it too would do an outstanding job. Although with a bigger inverter you may need to get a better battery and alternator for you vehicle. If you don't want to do all the upgrading then you could probably get away with using this 700 Watt inverter with no problem.
Easily the quietest unit I've ever owned. July 21, 2009

I've owned upwards of 10 power inverters and none even come close to the reliability. Easily the quietest unit I've ever owned. The only down side is there isn't any mounting brackets or holes to mount it. Had to use some Velcro strips, they worked quite well. Something else to keep in mind is that the 700-Watt model can't be hooked up via cigarette lighter nor would you want to do that even if you could. Inverters work much better hardwired and for this model it is a must. Great Product Great Price - 5 Stars
 GOOD PRODUCT July 13, 2009
Robert Calvert (San Diego, Ca USA)
We are using this 700 watt to replace an inadequet 400 watt inverter that was installed in the vehicles and keeps on failing. We have had no problems with this 700 watt inverter once it has been installed. I have had one deffective inverter out the approximately 16 that I have purchased and installed.
This is a good product July 9, 2009

This inverter works very well for me after several months of intermittent use. I use it while traveling and camping. It keeps my cell phone, laptop, rechargeable batteries, and 18v tool charger fully operational.
Warning: Longer cable runs require larger cabling to handle amperage. I installed this inverter under my passenger seat using a 4-gauge wire amplifier kit. You can find calculators online.
