Customer Review: It works - but it'll never leave my car - EVER
Summary: 1 Stars
Here's a story to tell my grandkids one day. I plugged it in, and it seemed just a bit tighter than other AC/DC tips, but it worked fine for my cell phone charger, so I left it in. The next day I came home after work, and my MDX's headlights were flickering like a SOS signal. What happened was my wife left the lights on, and because the inverter was plugged in and turned on, it bypassed the power-saving mode and the headlights were draining juice from the battery. I immediately went to unplug it and guessed what? IT'S STUCK! I gave it a hard pull, and the stupid plastic tip broke, leaving my battery bleeding out like a stabbing victim. I ended up cutting the inverter's cord to bypass the antitheft system, then after yelling with my wife for not know to how to use the auto headlight mode, I duct-taped it back so I can salvage my $25. So now the thing works, but it's stuck in there like a bullet fragment the doctor does not want to touch. By the way if you're wondering, the car's battery is fine. Without the anti-theft system, the battery would have been drained completely. So I have Acura to thank for that. This is what happened to me and me only, so buy this product at your own risk.Customer Review: nice while it lasted...

I own(ed) two of these (now 1). They are quiet, and while 1 is still working, the other worked for only about 1 year, and now will consistently blow the accessory plug fuse in both vehicles, and has also apparently permanently damaged the electrical system in one vehicle (even replacing the blown fuse does not restore power the the accessory plug). Even though one of the two still works fine, I would recommend choosing a different inverter.Customer Review: Bad Plug
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't rate this item well, as it broke the first time I used it. The plastic on the plug that goes into the car outlet is very thin and it broke as I tried to remove it. The broken plug was then stuck in the outlet and it became very difficult to remove because the plastic shattered into many, tiny pieces. I would reccomend another inverter.Customer Review: I highly recommend NOT TO BUY this stuff

As soon as I use it, It was broken.
I tried to change the fuse several times.
What it showed was beutiful spark every single time.
I just gave up to fix it. How can I believe that
they can fix it even though they are selling stuff like it?
I don't even know why it was broken.
Customer Review: Blew my Camry's Fuses
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this inverter after reading all the reviews. I used it just once with my 65W laptop (for my Microsoft Streets and Trips) on an hour's trip and blew off a bunch of my car's fuses. Headlight, sideview mirrors, clock,... everything went off. Luckily, the fog lights were working, otherwise I would not have made it back home.
