 Excellent Power Inverter, Tight Fit.Jun 22, 2010
By AmazonShopper
I bought this unit because there is no cooling fan, and rated 100W continuous. It makes no sound at all. Instruction book states it creates a modified sine wave for AC power, not the standard square wave which can lead to excessive heating. Modified sine wave was exactly what I wanted.
I have powered a GPS unit through the USB charging port together with a laptop PC, with the PC operating and battery charging, no problems. Unit did not get hot. I'm thinking I should get another.
Caution, the inverter plugs into the dashboard 12V car adapter quite tightly. Take care when removing the inverter from the dashboard by holding the dashboard 12V car adapter in place while rocking the inverter back-and-forth to remove, so as to not pullout the 12V car adapter from the dash.
The fit needs to be snug so the inverter does not work loose from the dash, but I think it is a bit too tight. I give it a Good (4) rating because of the tight fit, otherwise it would be Excellent(5).

 Works as advertised, good idea for hurricane preparedness.Jul 01, 2010
By JA
To try out this unit I put our two-bulb desk lamp in the car, put brand new 60 and 40 Watt incandescent bulbs in it (to load it to the rated 100 Watts) and ran it on the way to work and back. It performed wonderfully. The adjustable neck let it fit into either of the cigarette lighter jacks. Power held true even while idling for a train slowly leaving the Container Port and for a traffic accident to clear on the way home. The unit was warm to the touch but certainly not hot at the end of each commute, even after running constantly at its rated full load. For reference, the unit performed this well in a VW "New Beetle".
Popular Mechanics magazine had recommended the purchase of a Black & Decker PI100AB 100-Watt Power Inverter for hurricane preparedness. When I looked at these on Amazon.com, it was clear ordinary consumers were not as thrilled as Popular Mechanics with that unit. But the inverter was still a good idea and Amazon.com also offered this model from Stanley which showed a much higher customer satisfaction rating. Clearly I share the high opinion of those previous reviewers and hope that this review will, in turn, benefit someone else.

Excellent product. Super quiet!Aug 28, 2009
By A. Yacavone
I highly recommend this inverter. I have used numerous inverters and I can say without a doubt, this is the most compact and quietest one I have come across. Construction is very good and I really like the fact that it cuts out if the car battery gets too low. The USB port is very handly for charging my iPods, iPhone, and GPS. Must have for travelling!

Silent, Cool and inexpensive.Nov 19, 2010
By M. Paganini
Dead silent, runs cool, charges almost anything. A friend's EEE PC refused to charge, but there are all sorts of warnings on the manual about certain products that dislike the "regenerated sine wave" this inverter generates. Please note that it plugs very tightly into the cigarette adapter. This is by design. You don't want poor electrical contact on something designed to draw more than the usual amount of current. Make sure you hold your socket in place with the other hand when unplugging this unit and you'll be OK.

nice pieceOct 07, 2010
By M. Dulin
Just replaced my previous inverter with this one...previous one worked fine for 3 years but had a fan and the fan just died so was looking for one without and this one so far works great. I use this a lot...constantly charging my computer in my work van so I need reliability so far this one works great...love how it makes no sound and utilizes technology so a cooling fan is not needed...so far so good after 2 weeks. Only one thing that they could improve is the fittment...it is really a tight squeeze getting it into the charging port...need to be careful putting it in and taking out so nothing gets damaged, other than that no complaints.
