Jensen JP30 300 Watt Power Inverter

I've only been using this power inverter for a short while, but so far it's been great.

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!

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!

This would have been a fine inverter if it wasn't for the fact that the fan started buzzing and making an awful racket after just three days on the road. That alone is why I gave this product a two star rating. There's no excuse on the manufactures part for using a cheap fan that goes kaput in just a matter of days. I'd shop around a bit more if I were you.

The power inverter is great, my family used on our summer road trip with my laptop and speakers for watching video's. The only downfall was a little noise from the cooling fan. Buy it you'll like it.
