Customer Rating:
Summary: Still working
Comment: Still powers up the portable DVD player after using it during a two day road trip. No complains yet. The fan noise was expected and not overpowering.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Works, but noisy
Comment: The product works fine, but I find the fan to be too noisy. I can accept some fan noise, but this is too much. I rarely use it because of the noise.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Decent for the price
Comment: I've only just started using this converter and I haven't tried using all my devices on it. So far, it does what it's suppose to do, but the unit is very noisy. Also the plastic by the fuse on this was a bit damaged upon arrival. For the price it has been a good investment so far.

Summary: Check the Specs - Will not work for most cars
Comment: 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.

Summary: I should have listened to the other reviews...
Comment: 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.
