 works well for the casual user October 19, 2009
J. Elker (NJ)
I bought this to plug in a 19 inch LCD HDTV with my SUV while tailgaiting at football games. So far, it works like a charm. I plugged this into the vehicle's cig lighter, hooked up the tv, and attached the tv to an unamplified HD Antenna. I was able to watch 2+ hours of early NFL games with the car's engine off.
I'm a casual user, I will likely only use this product once a week for tailgaiting. So far so good!
 Won't charge my phone. September 20, 2009
slagment (USA)
I have a HTC 6800, and it charges for a second, then acts as if it isn't plugged in. The charging indicator even turns off. Phone charges just find from ac adapter and house wall outlet.
 Worked Perfectly September 3, 2009

We used the inverter on a multi week road trip, where I needed to keep both my Macbook and HP notebook charged. It worked perfectly just using the regular power outlet in the car.
Great Inverter September 2, 2009

*This item was received a day or two before we left on an extended trip to Canada in our GMC 4500 Truck with trailer -- intended to use it to power a small 1.5 amp. refrigerator. (1.5 x 110V =165 watts and this is a 400 watt unit. Hooked directly to the batteries, this unit would not start or run the refrig., so we had to leave the unit and the refrig. home.
Well, I just get home Aug. 5 and now find Amazon does not want to process the defective item at it is past the July 27 deadline. Of all the site Amazon makes for contact, NOT One have I found that can deal with this situation. I sent hardcopy to the Returns Center in Lexington and received no response.
So much for quality customer service. I know there are folks who will cheat on anyone, but what about us legit people who are just dealing with the everyday realities of life. You had better make sure not to buy from AMAZON again if you are going to be away from home for any period of time.
Life is too short to spend time on issues and sellers like this!!!*
