 Check the Specs - Will not work for most cars August 31, 2008

I was about to leave on a long road-trip. I liked the fact it had 2 plugs. But when it arrived and I opened it to check the manual, I discovered it requires a special connection to the car battery and was not recommended for most cars. I checked my car manual and discovered it could only handle 100 WATTS, so the purchase was totally useless. Please check your car manual before you purchase such an item. In fact, on the road trip, we burned out the car adapter by overloading it with 3 devices with standard car charger adapters. We also found that another AC adapter overheated, and would not supply sufficient power, unless the other devices were unplugged.
I should have listened to the other reviews... August 28, 2008

Pros: None. It did not work out of the box.
Cons: Fan is "way" too loud like other reviewers have stated (I thought the people reviewing it were being picky). It is always on, unlike the "Xantrex Technologies XPower Plus 400-Watt Inverter #851-0400" which only turns on at 100 Watt draw. Also it plain old just didn't work right out of the package. It would turn on until I plugged the test devices in (a EEE PC and a small jigsaw,again both plugged in one at a time, never at the same time) once plugged in the power started then cut out,then started,then cut out with only 1 second between each flux. The worst part is that I ordered a second one for my father because he saw mine and wanted one, unfortunately I did not test the one I received prior to ordering the second one. Now I need to deal with getting a refund for an open item and shipping an unopened inverter back. I tested it on 2 cars and one car is only 2 weeks old with 700 miles on it (can't be the wiring or battery). I am currently now in the process of returning this and possible picking up the Xantrex 400 Watt.
I had low expectations for this unit and they didn't even meet those. I would recommend to stay away from Jensen inverters.
 Excellent Power Inverter August 12, 2008
I've only been using this power inverter for a short while, but so far it's been great.
Just what I needed!! August 9, 2008
Road trip!!! Two adults plus four teenagers plus some pretty desolate terrain equals the desire for electronics in the van! This power inverter did a great job of powering my 17" laptop and a portable DVD player from Seattle to Detroit! At first I thought the cord might be too short but combined with the cord from the DVD player it reached to the back seat of our extended van with cord to spare. Other reviews I read said that this unit is rather loud but I didn't notice it at all. The unit stayed quiet and cool the whole time. I highly recommend it!
Not Much Use July 19, 2008

I had hopes of running outdoor tools down our road where no electrical cord can go. Found that even the little hedger at 2.7 volts won't run on this, so it's of no use to me. Before you buy be sure to do your math and figure out whether it can handle what you want to use it for!
