Schumacher XI14 DC to AC Power Inverter

Bought this as a 120 volt back up for my laptop plug in charger when I was on the road. Just planned on using it if no other choice was available. I have practically used it non stop for 7 months with it never even leaving the cigarette lighter port. It stays plugged in and on 24/7 and has never acted up once. I even ran a string of Christmas lights off it at a party for 6 hours and my car battery was fine. This little thing has suprised me and I bought a 400 watt Schumacher for our pickup just on this experience, its working great too.

*UPDATE 9-23-2012 Still working at least 5 to 6 hours a day. Updating because the little micro cooling fan in it started to chirp as if the bearings in it are about to fail. Looks easy to repair, fan for it is $2 and likely a hour of my time. The unit itself puts out over 200 watts for quiet a while running 3 laptops for sometimes 2 to 3 hours straight. I am still impressed it has handled 3 full drops from a semi truck seat to concrete and has cracked the plastic but in almost 2 years worked great.

Be sure there is enough room around the vehicle 12v outlet or it might not fit. It works well for me but it is a tight squeeze. The product works as advertised.

That's all, maybe the first thing is a toolbox, the second one is this converter. This is the only one with 140W, enough to power up a laptop, for instace. (others are not able to supply enough energy).

Cons:

-the female adapter is just for US plug. A multi-shape female adapter (Latin America, Europe, Australia, etc) will be definitely a great plus going from 9 points to 10!!.

Pros:

All you can imagine with an electrical outlet inside you car.

This thing works very well and is nice to have an indicator as well as that its position can be adjusted to suit the space.

Want Schumacher XI14 DC to AC Power Inverter Discount?

I purchased this product from a brick and mortar retailer while on a road trip. I needed something to charge my laptop in a pinch and it seemed like it would suffice.

The product advertises that it can handle a load of 140 watts and my laptop charger required 65 watts, so the inverter should have provided ample charge.

When I plugged my laptop in, however, it would charge briefly (5 to 10 seconds) and then stop charging. I tried it in three separate accessory power ports and it didn't work in any of them. I'll be returning this item and purchasing an alternative for future use.
