4 out of 5 stars So Far So Good   February 14, 2010
Adedamola Ifaturoti (plainsboro, NJ USA)
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.


5 out of 5 stars Very satisfied, helped us throughout our Trip to Florida   February 7, 2010
Naveed A. Khan (MI, USA)
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.


5 out of 5 stars Effective product at a good price   February 5, 2010
G. Targee
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.


1 out of 5 stars Beware, Burned the Fuse in my Late Model Vehicle   January 26, 2010
heel5man (Greenville, SC)
Like a lot of folks, you assume the best when a product is as highly rated as this one. My wife was thrilled to be able to surf the web while I drove on a recent road trip.

She was on her 13" Macbook and plugged into the power outlet of a 2009 Audi Q5. Everything worked great for maybe 5 minutes. Not sure what caused it to happen suddenly, but we notice she's not getting power anymore and all of the power outlets in the car won't work. I can only assume it was drawing too much power.

I'd still love to be able to power our Macs in the car if anyone has a suggestion.



5 out of 5 stars Works   January 15, 2010
Z. Fletcher (253, WA)
Works as described with my laptop. The fan is audible but not really noticeable if watching movies, listening to music, and/or driving. To me this was the best option for a power inverter because it small enough to pack around or store in the glove box, no wires, no need to hook up to car battery. Its plug n play and very convenient for me.
