Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Jensen JP20 160-Watt DC-to-AC Power Inverter
Customer Review: Does the job nicely
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this unit for a few weeks to power a portable CD/MP3 player that already had an AC power adapter. It has performed flawlessly under that light load, and I am very satisfied. It is solidly made. It gets warm to the touch but not hot when plugged in. I followed the manual's recommendation to unplug it or turn it off when I start the engine; when I turn it on it emits a loud tone for half a second but is totally silent after that.
My old Saab has a slightly smaller cigarette lighter socket than most American cars so I was a little worried that the cigarette lighter plug might not fit, but it works just fine. The built-in fuse is a standard automobile fuse, which should be easy to replace should it ever fail.
Customer Review: This Power Inverter Gets Great Mileage.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've said to people that I may have gotten more out of this power inverter than any other purchase I've made.
I bought my Jensen in 2002 for a trip down to Florida from New York. It's been in my car ever since. I love gadgets and I always have something to plug in or charge. I never buy car chargers for anything.
This power inverter accompanied me on a 7.5 month road trip from 10/2002 - 06/2003. I used it to play movies on my laptop, charge phones, cameras etc.
It's funny to write a review for a power inverter, but trust me - this thing works! I've had it for 5 years now and it works great!
Customer Review: Two Thumbs Up
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product because I am always on the road with my job. This unlike other products I have seen does not make any noise and is reliable for the price you pay. I hook my laptop to it since my battery does not last long and my phone charger. If you are on the road often this is a good idea to have in your car. I find coffee shops with outlet to plug a laptop into hard to find. No I can sit in my car and surf the net with my network card. Don't buy the smaller versions thought they look better with out the cord I have experenced a continious buzzing sound while it is pluged in.Customer Review: GREAT FOR THE PRICE

This unit powers my 17" (power draining) laptop just fine. I use it in my travels with my "Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 with GPS Locator". I use this rather than one of the many small GPS devices, as I can't see them very well, and this unit has "Voice Prompt", so I rarely need to look at it anyway. I know that there are small "Voice Prompt" GPS units out there, but none under $80.00, that I can search the Web on. The unit gets warm to the touch, but not hot. A good value for the money!Customer Review: Works Great - Highly Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for various uses in our mini-van (DVD players, satellite radio, etc). It has performed flawlessly with no issues. It does not get hot (as others do) and operates quietly (as other products don't).
Another strong feature is the fact that the fuse is a standard auto fuse which is VERY easy to find. Other products contain fuses which cause you to do massive searches on the internet to find a replacement.
I highly recommend this product.
