Black & Decker PSS100B Power Station 100 Watt Portable Power Supply Inverter with Digital Radio

After reseaching this type of product at a store I found this particular model was to small for my needs. It did not have enough power to last long enough for my needs

i bought this because of price and figured i could use it for a small light and radio if power went out-charged like it says the small lights on front work for a good long time but if you try anything else forget it battery is too weak-i gave it a 2 but that is probably one to high.

I've owned this item for 9 months now. This docking port for the ipod is enclosed to prevent dust and damage to your ipod. Simply hook up your ipod to the usb port on the boombox and listen to your ipod's music library. The ipod storage compartment could've been an inch longer for a little more room for the ipod, but other than that, I have nothing to complain about this item. The boombox's speakers give out decent sound for it's size, and is nice to take on fishing/camping/outdoor expeditions. Until companies manufacture a REAL boombox or home stereo system that has a built in ipod that one can load their mp3's directly from their pc, this is the best item your currently going to find. Other products out there are fragile and the ports don't protect your ipod. Apple's current product line of boomboxes are junk and fragile, don't waste your time. I'm very satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone.

The product is great but keep the manual handy. It's not exactly what I had in mind, but it does the job for what it's intended. It should have a seperate battery (small watch type or triple A) for the radio pre-sets and clock. When the power goes out for the 'power supply' for the outlets or mp3 hook-up, it's out. If you turn off the internal switch, you lose all memory. Should be splash resistant too considering it's marketed towards work stations.

I got this product at a good price.Unfortunately,you get what you pay for.
Cheap plastic,pressure sensative back door that does not function,poor reception,and a battery that lasts for about one hour even when its continuously charged as the directions state to do. Also it's claim to be a 100W converter source is laughable--the circut breaker trips on anything more than 60W!! One star only because it doesn't accept 0 stars.
