 Don't Buy... Worked once and then stopped working August 12, 2010
E. Levy
I bought the Duracell inverter a couple of weeks ago. I used it once on a sales trip and it worked great. I liked the small compact form and it worked for charging my laptop and my USB phone at the same time.
I went to use it again for the second time on my most recent sales trip two weeks later and the unit shows no signs of life. It won't power on and doesn't work. I tried it in multiple vehicles and it seems to be a lemon. Unfortunately, you have to give one star, otherwise I would give it zero stars!
 Compact but not quiet July 25, 2010

Pros:
- Compact
- Lightweight
- USB port
- Auto powers off
Cons:
- Noisy, annoying fan
- Did I mention the fan was loud and annoying?
An almost great inverter. I purchased this to power a Macbook Pro in my vehicle. Prior reviewers said it was quiet which is a priority for me. This is any thing but quiet. We use it in a 2006 Mazda minivan which isn't particularly quiet. At highway speed the noise from the cooling fan on the unit out does the wind and tire noise of the car. To my ear it is particularly whining and annoying which leads me to unplug it if at all possible.
On the upside it is lightweight and very compact. You could easily take it with you with your carryon bag on airlines. It also has an electronic switch which "turns off" when ever the car is turned off which means that it doesn't automatically power on when you turn the car on again. For me this is a plus. The USB power port work fine for my ipod and for our GPS unit which had a faulty cord for while. If the fan weren't such a liability it would be the perfect inverter.
Good product for the money. May 26, 2010

I recently purchased this product to use with my laptop on long flights. I have used this product on 3 flights now and it does provide enough power output for both my laptop and iPhone (charging both devices at the same time).
Product size is great. It is about as compact as can be made.
I give the product a 4 star rating, rather than a 5 star, because storing the product is somewhat cumbersome in your briefcase. No efforts were put into the design to wrap/store cord when not in use. This is rather irritating if you are constantly storing it while boarding/leaving a plane. In all other aspects it is a 5 star product.
Since I just received the product, I cannot comment on its durability at this time, but the case seems very sturdy and well constructed.

Awesome little device which I use to recharge my blue-tooth in my car. Great idea!!

The unit is well made and the long cord adds to its flexibility. The cord is actually 35" long.
It powered my Dell Studio Laptop with Earthmate GPS unit flawlessly on a recent 1000 mile trip. It didn't get overly warm and it is quiet.
The laptop is rated at 75 watts.
On/off button means you don't have to unplug when you stop.
With this unit you only need an AC charger for your cell phone.
I am very happy with this unit.
