Cellet Retractable Car Charger for Samsung Focus

Cellet Retractable Car Charger for Samsung FocusThe product doesnt have a good finish. the retractable button stopped functioning after a while and now within 2 months, it doesnt even charge

I paid like $4 or $5 for this one and it's been in service for a while. Great product does what it was designed to do. I like the button feature just wish the cable was a little bigger.

AIMS PWRIC150012S 1500 Watt Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter with Battery Charger, 12 Volt

AIMS PWRIC150012S 1500 Watt Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter with Battery Charger, 12 Volt
  • USB Port and dual AC receptacles that can be used with any separate splitter for even more outlets
  • Rapid and automatic transfer switch for seamless power transfer
  • Built-in 10 Amp battery charge
  • Volt and Amp display
  • Includes port for optional remote switch

Purchased inverter from "The Inverter Store" which apparently is AIMS sales division same address. Original unit died after 4 or 5 uses but just out of warranty. Bought another of the exact same part number to match all the existing wiring and mounting points. New unit was completely different, even the amount of outlets was different; only one on this one. New unit arrived with a screw sticking 1" out the bottom. Service tech told me to screw it back in. Installed the 'new' one it did not work at all. So, AIMS no longer carries this unit it's still in warranty so they are refunding my money BUT NOT THE RETURN SHIPPING. I asked how they could expect customers to pay for returning a product that had manufacturing defects and they said: "That's our policy."

DO NOT WALK BUT RUN AWAY FROM AIMS INVERTERS. They are absolute junk.

Eton FR400 Hand Crank Radio and Power Generator (Black)

Eton FR400 Hand Crank Radio and Power GeneratorAfter noting some less than satisfactory reviews by others on similar Eaton products , I decided to go ahead and buy this product. I found that the FR400 meets all my criteria in a weather radio. First, the crank system covers our communications need should we have an extended power outage.This past week, over 100,000 people were without power in our area. The crank generating system works excellent. It actually works easier than I thought that it would. I also find the Alert function very important. You simple turn a Selector Knob to Alert, and when the National Weather Service issues an alert, the radio comes on automatically. This alert gives you advance warning of dangerous weather, and can save your life in case a tornado is about to happen near you.It also warns you of other bad weather conditions such as extreme straight line winds and hail. Flood Warnings are also covered in these alerts.

Yes we have tornado sirens for impending tornados. Since we have satellite TV reception, we usually lose our TV signal just as the bad storms get close to us. With the FR400, we easily can slide the selection bar and tune in any of several TV stations, and pick up the sound portion of the broadcast. We can also access our local FM and AM radio channels.The reception is excellent on both AM and FM bands. I have mine set to Channel ll the CBS TV affiliate in Dallas/Fort Worth. The tuning bar reads TV2. Channel 5, a lower number would be set on TV1. We consider this product an excellent value, and recommend this model due to the included AC Adapter. The included cell phone adapters fit both my wife's cell phone and my own. Hers is an ancient Motorola and mine is a recent LG. There are excellent set up instructions should you need them from the Eton website. It's actually very simple to set up. Lights, Sirens, Radio, Crank and Auto settings are clearly marked. Dialing is no problem, and the TV and Weather Service reception is excellent. This product has it all, and is a must for having a dependable weather warning or disaster communication radio.

This radio is reviewed on Amazon several times, but most are under the Red Cross version's listing, even though this is exactly the same radio. I read several negative reviews prior to buying this item. Well, as it turns out I think this is a nice little unit. I would describe the sound overall as good. Maybe I'll amend this review in the future, but I'm happy with the features, design & performance.

Opening the battery cover and connecting the battery was just that simple, and it has remained securely closed. Maybe the design has been modified because that procedure has gotten a lot of negative feedback, but I can't see any reason there would be a problem. The cellphone charging cord & several connectors (let's be honest...we're never going to use this) were included, and my Sanyo phone is covered.

This is a light, inexpensive case. The tuner seems fine. Here in NYC I've had no trouble tuning in the various AM & FM stations that I like. This is not a high-end indestructable radio. I think this is a good, relatively solidly built & designed radio that can be used every day. I charged it over night with the included adapter. It's brought me a few ballgames over the past few days without needing a charge (I'm just going to let it drain completely once to complete a battery cycle). I like this little radio very much.

Buy Eton FR400 Hand Crank Radio and Power Generator (Black) Now

I needed more info on this radio and others so I called Amazon tech support. I was given the Eton customer service number: 1-800-872-2228.

The Eton FR400 has TV capabilities that will become obsolete in 2009 as the signals will all be switched to digital for the TV portion of this radio. All other functions will work. The updated model, Eton FR405, is the same as this radio only without the TV signal capability. The FR405 is only available at Best Buy at this time. For my money, the FR400 with TV capabilities, while the TV signals last, is a better buy.

This radio is water resistant. A waterproof model would be perfect. We've lost a couple of cell phones in the river and water kills them fast. Sun dried cell phones are never the same if they even flicker with life at all. So, now I look for waterproof when buying anything that might get wet or fall overboard. An emergency radio is in that class.

Another newer model coming on the scene soon will be the Eton FR1000--no TV capability, but it will come with a walkie talkie. This is being tested now and should be the next model you will see on the market.

Eton does not make a GPS system combined with NOAA radio capabilities. They also do not have a unit with both shortwave and NOAA combined--apparently the circuitry on the two things are not compatable. No one has this.

I want something that will be equally useful on land, at sea or in a vehicle. I want an "emergency" unit that packages many of the things I may need for "survival" communication. Okay, I really meant everything I might need. :) I haven't found the perfect NOAA radio yet.

The other thing that is not available is an NOAA radio with digital TV. Apparently, the digital components are too expensive at this time to add this feature to these radios and maintain a decent price point. So, companies are simply deleting TV from the mix.

This model, Eton FR400, will charge a cell phone battery. None of the connections come with the unit. You send in for them. The first cell phone adapter connector is free, additional ones cost $5 each. Eton tries to keep a number of cell phone battery charger adaptors in stock, but you may want to see if they have your specific adaptor before making a purchase because they don't carry them all.

Amazon has inflated the retail price on this unit. It sells for $60 directly from Eton, plus $10 shipping.

The unit is larger than I expected. This is okay, but wouldn't a cell phone sized unit be wonderful! Waterproof of course.

UPDATE 2-7-2008: The Eton FR1000 has been released this month. I haven't seen it on Amazon yet, but it is available at some other retailers. Check online. The retail price is $150.

The radio has one very annoying feature. When set to receive NOAA Weather alerts it will receive them but then continue playing NOAA weather reports for a wide area. When I purchased this radio I did not know about SAME technology which limits the alerts to a much smaller area in your vacinity. If you live in an area with a lot of alerts as I do in Florida then getting a radio with SAME technology will keep you from being unnecessarily awakened in the night. Go to the NOAA web site for a description of SAME. All other functions of the radio seem to work as advertised.

Want Eton FR400 Hand Crank Radio and Power Generator (Black) Discount?

The inexpensive Eton FR400 is a nice little radio as well as a potential lifesaver. For its size it has a surprisingly good balanced tone (not adjustable), and very clear reception on NOAA, AM, FM, and TV bands alike. The power crank/dynamo doubles as an exercise machine...not the easiest thing to crank (especially if you follow the recommendation to crank at 2 revolutions per second for 90 seconds to acheive maximum power charge), but you get up to an hour and a half to rest up before you need to recharge. I wish the case had a compartment for the power and cell phone adapters though, to keep all parts in one place. I gave mine to my electronically picky and critical sattelite-TV field manager brother-in-law (to keep at his home in the US Virgin Islands for hurricane use), and immediately bought another for our own tornado, thunderstorm, icestorm and power vagary usage here in beautiful rural West Michigan. I'll take it camping and its light weight and weather resistant design may even cause it to join me in my treestands this deer season (I wish an earphone was included as well, but as I seem to be the last living man without an iPod I can't blame Eton for my not having my own headphones, I suppose...). By the way, the available metallic colors offered on these are "way cool"! You won't regret buying the FR400, regardless of the weather in your part of the world. BTW: after sending in the registration info I received cell phone power charger adapters for two (2) different phones within 10 days' time. Murphy's law being immutable, our cell plan replaced our phones with a new model in the interim. One call to the eton toll-free customer service line sent another adapter out the same day to accomodate our upgrade...free of charge!

Optima 8004-003-FFP RedTop Group 34/78 Starting Battery

Optima 8004-003-FFP RedTop Group 34/78 Starting BatteryBelow is a copy of the email I got from Optima regarding a battery purchased from Amazon.

So be aware the money you are thinking you are saving maybe costing you big time. You should also know that for marine batteries Otima is strongly reccomending the use of there $200 charger to keep them charged properly.

***********************************************************************************

Hello John,

Amazon.com is not an authorize online OPTIMA retailer, We do not know where they acquire the OPTIMA batteries nor does Amazon.com honor the OPTIMA warranty.

I have four of these batteries in service now and they all have performed better than I expected. One is in an old Ford diesel tractor which originally had a very large flooded cell battery in it. I put in a standard size Optima about six years ago and it still cranks it fine.

The last two I bought from Amazon had a rebate from Optima as well as a price I couldn't beat. I think they're well worth the high initial cost.

Great cranking amperage, durable. Have this mounted in a 1996 Ford Bronco, and i've put it through the paces. Preforms great!

I purchased this battery because of installing a winch on my Jeep. I needed something with 650CCA or higher rating, and this battery is an 800CCA.

It not only starts the Jeep much easier than a lead-acid battery, but it has a quick recovery time after winching. Highly reccomendable.

Comes with 4 different types of mounting bases, so it will virtually fit in any vehicle, and with the side terminals, it made attaching the winch cables an easy job.

Want Optima 8004-003-FFP RedTop Group 34/78 Starting Battery Discount?

This thing is TOUGH! Pretty stylish too, but maybe unnecessary since nobody is looking under the hood very often (hopefully)? It say hooked up to my car in hot, humid weather for over a month, stationary. I came back and the car rusted a lot more, it had low tire pressure so I thought the battery might be dead. It fired right up without even the slightest hint of a low charge! My car is old, and it has problems, but it sure is nice to know that the battery won't be one of them anymore! Love this thing. Pretty expensive, but if you want something reliable then GET THIS!!

Griffin PowerBlock Dual Universal Charger for MP3 Players and USB Devices (Black)

Griffin PowerBlock Dual Universal Charger for MP3 Players and USB Devices
  • Charge two USB devices at the same time from the same wall outlet
  • Charges Sansa, Creative, Zune, Samsung, iPod, iPhone, and most other MP3 players and devices that charge via USB
  • LED glows green to show PowerBlock is ready to charge
  • Non-polarized blades fold flat for storage
  • Works with AC outlets from 100V to 240V

Like most folks here, I am very happy with this charger, happy that it costs half as much as an apple-branded ipod charger yet has two USB jacks instead of one.

Some folks here have found this charger doesn't put out enough power for particular devices. Before purchasing this charger, it's a good idea to compare the power requirements for your device with the power this charger puts out.

The charger puts out 5.2 volts, and 500mA per USB port.

The charger also includes over-voltage protection and short circuit protection.

For more tech specs, see p.4 of the manual:

[Amazon deleted my link to the manual; I'll try to put it in a comment.]

Buy Griffin PowerBlock Dual Universal Charger for MP3 Players and USB Devices (Black) Now

Works as advertised for low-end devices. If your device charges _normally_ off of a computer's USB port (without a special driver), it should charge off of this. USB spec is up to 500mA per port (see wikipedia) so this product seems to be built to USB specs. However, newer and power hungry devices require more. In the case of the iPad (1st generation), it does charge off the computer, but very slowly. The iPad works best when using a 2100mA (2.1A) or greater charger.

(this only charged my motorola W376G tracfone when used with a special charge-only cable, which was included with the Belkin Dual USB and AC Wall Charger)

This thing DOES work with the ipod touch 2G,

which isn't true about all chargers.

But it doesn't charge my Motorola cell phone.

Go figure...

Want Griffin PowerBlock Dual Universal Charger for MP3 Players and USB Devices (Black) Discount?

So far this has been an excellent charger. For those who care, essentially no power is consumed when the charger is plugged in but not charging. I tested it against my amp meter: 0.000 amps when not charging but green light showing, and around 0.0650 amps when charging my iPod. So you can leave this plugged in and not worry about consuming power when idling.

My PowerBlock was used infrequently (once a month or so) and lasted just over a year. The plastic holding the metal prongs/plugs cracked and one of the metal plugs no longer stays in... Griffen indicated that they could not help as the product was outside the warranty period. I can understand that, but I expected more from a lightly used product.

iPhone 5 USB Cable, Car Charger 5V 1A White with AC Wall Charger Adapter for iPhone 5

iPhone 5 USB Cable, Car Charger 5V 1A White with AC Wall Charger Adapter for iPhone 5I wasted my money.....please don;t wasted yours.....The charging cable will not fit iphone 5 at all...soit's basically useless...please don't waste your money...Hope this helps others

You get what you pay for....

The car charger gets too hot when in use and the smell of burnt or burning wire permeates the air. I can't use this. I have to assume that something is seriously wrong with the car charger portion of this device. The other concern is that the other items (USB Cable, Wall Charger) might be of such inferior quality that they are going to short out my new phone.

I'm worried to use the products and at $11.55 total cost including shipping I can't afford to return it because the cost of shipping it back to China would be more than the entire purchase price.

I guess I'm stuck with a lemon.

PS~ The wire shorts out my phone when I use it. It also sparked today in an outlet at work. When others saw that I couldn't even give it away. So I threw it away.

I'm buying apple products. But no more cheap knock offs.

Cobra XRS 9945 Voice Alert 15-Band Radar/Laser Detector with Full-Color DataGrafix Display, Digital

Cobra XRS 9945 Voice Alert 15-Band Radar/Laser Detector with Full-Color DataGrafix Display, Digital Compass, and Upgradeable Features
  • 15-Band detection--detects 7 radar, 6 laser and 2 safety signals
  • 1.0-inch OLED display provides enhanced data display in easy-to-read vivid colors
  • Provides complete immunity to VG-2 and alerts for Spectre I/IV radar detector-detectors
  • Add optional GPS Locator with AURA Database to alert you to Verified Speed and Red Light Camera locations and dangerous intersection locations
  • One-year limited warranty
  • Cobra full color data, dig comp
  • Energy certified
  • Portable design

Saved a tone of money with this. I'll be honest and I am sorry for this, but I do speed on freeways in America. Sorry, but in my opinion speed limits are way too low here. It's hard to drive on Autobahns with no speed limits one day, and then the next thing you know, you live in America and you have to live with 55/65 mph. So to cut the chase, I've purchased this unit to avoid tickets and to replace my previous lower end Cobra that had a lot of false alarms.

Summary:

Fake alarms reduced by 90% (besides funny moments such as warning me of Train and Railroad when going to Safeway)

Voice warning comes handy

Detects highway patrol/cops from far far away, including their most advanced guns, thus saving you a fortune.

Beware some officers know their job well: Will not protect you from those smart officers, who know how to ticket you by tailgating you. No detector will help you against that one. Trust me I got ticket that way.

Checked legality with friend of mine who is an Officer and found out that these are not illegal in California. BUT:Keep on mind that seeing one in your car will certainly NOT make Officer happy, and it WILL put you in A bad light.

To conclude: Well paid off investment. I was supposed to be ticketed dozen of times w/out this. At least I am honest and hope that helps. But don't be me. I still don't encourage you to you to speed and drive unsafely. Be smart, at the end of the day all that speeding, will save you only 2-3 minutes. I promise to change, too.

:)

P.S. If in need for speed: Go to the race track.

Buy Cobra XRS 9945 Voice Alert 15-Band Radar/Laser Detector with Full-Color DataGrafix Display, Digital Now

I can't justify paying more than $100 dollars for a RADAR detector. This one does the job fine. All RADAR detectors will give false alarms for door openers, etc., since they use the same frequencies. Also, officers have to have their RADAR on for your detector to work. Some of the reviews on here whined about police officers being right next to them and it not going off.

For a cheap RADAR/LIDAR detector, the Cobras work just like they should. They cannot do magic, and neither can the $400 ones. The only advantage to the more expensive ones are if they come with remote mounted (front and rear) sensors. Otherwise, it's the same technology for 4x times the price.

I recently took a 400 mile round trip with my Cobra and I was very pleased in fact it saved me twice from getting a $180 ticket so it more than paid for it self two times over. False alerts are very rare and it's very obvious by the strength that it's from a store. On a straight run on the highway I get about a two mile or more warning. On hills and curves that is cut down quite a bit but still enough time to slow down. I love the extra features like the compass and intellimute. The usb port for the gps module is great to have if I ever want red light camera capability. The size is a little longer that other radar detectors but the suction cup mount seems stronger that the $350 Escort I had and the unit does not shake like the Escort did. The coiled cord is nice and is a perfect length for my car. A long straight cord is available if anyone needs that.

Overall I'm very happy with the Cobra. It looks great and works great. What more can you ask for? Buy it. You'll like it.

(Update)

After enjoying the XRS 9945 for a couple of weeks I decided to get the red light gps module. Although I haven't taken any trips yet that encounter red light cameras, I really like being able to put in my own user alerts (up to 1000) and having my speed and more accurate compass available. I feel I have the complete package now.

(Second Update)

I don't know why people are bashing Cobra radar detectors. The XRS 9945 has worked as well as an Escort 8500 I had a while back plus it has tons of useful features. I read about a $500 Bell and how it knows the difference between non police signals and police radar (different freq's). My Cobra does that at one quarter the price. I had a low end Cobra from Walmart and a mid range Whistler and they were both junk. The only time they would alert to a police radar is when you were withing 100 ft. However they alerted to everything else. The Cobra XRS 9945 is not in that class at all. It is so quiet sometimes I think it's not working. It seems the way I have it configured, the only time it alerts is when it's a cop. Isn't that what we want from a detector? It is a quality, reliable product with tons of features for a great price.

I have been using this product for well over 3 months already n at first it was not senstive bit when I started to play around with the setting I found it to be very senstive... When I first got it had a hard time picking up the ka band. But since now I have set it up the right way. I usually pick up the ka band from 2 to 3 miles away. And the laser from a cop about a mile away. It's a really good radar detector and I recommend you to get it but I will say you have to play with the settings before you use it. If anyone has any questions just as me I'll glady help you out...

I got this radar detector after doing research on them for a few days. It was the best value out there for a radar that picks up so many different bands of radar. Thing thing has already saved me a few times from Sergeant D-bag. If you are looking for a good radar, then pick this bad boy up.

Note: Automatic doors may set off your radar. I get false alerts on city mode maybe 2 to 3 times a day in extremely busy areas with lots of stores that have automatic doors.

Fosmon Premium Quality Retractable Car Auto Charger for BlackBerry Torch 9800 / Bold Slider Smartph

Fosmon Premium Quality Retractable Car Auto Charger for BlackBerry Torch 9800 / Bold Slider SmartphoneEven though it says this is for the 9800 Blackberry torch when connected I got and error message saying it could damage phone because it was not compatible. I sent this item back..

It's been two months, and it's no longer "retractable." It also is very particular so if I move the blackberry in any way, it stops charging. In my mind, it's only for emergencies. I would still try my best to make sure that my phone is fully charged before getting in the car. I only use this if my blackebrry is close to draining after a day of meetings.

I thought this thing was great! It didn't get tangled up with other cords. I loved that it was retractable. However, after the first week it would no longer charge my Blackberry Torch. Probably because it's not an "official" charger. So, now it's totally useless to me.

Was skeptical at first because it had the description of a charger for the BB torch and motorola, so I was afraid it would mess up the hole for the charger on my phone, but it fits well and works great charging my phone in my car! I like the retractable too that way it keeps it close to where it's being charged.

The charger does its job. I'm a careful person but the wire is so thin that I'm always afraid I'm going to pull it out

USB Sync & Charge Cradle (with AC Charger) (w/ 2nd battery support) for Sprint HTC Touch Pro

USB Sync & Charge Cradle for Sprint HTC Touch ProIf you are looking for a cradle for your Sprint HTC Pro look no further this is the perfect charger and cradle. I selected this because of the 2nd battery charger. The Pro does not have the best battery life so I love that I can have a battery on back up and ready to go at all times. I am upgrading from the Mogul and I also purchased a cradle for that phone. The cradle for me is like having your phone on display and it is a very simplistic way of being able to charge the phone without having to connect the usb cables or a charger you just dock it and it is ready to go. The phone fits nice and snug in the dock. I keep a dock at home with my desktop and a dock at work. I have the Think Outside Stowaway keyboard which allows me to text and IM easily without having to remove the phone from the cradle. The only drawback that I find for this cradle is the fact that if there is not a battery in the 2nd battery charger the light flashes red and green when it is connected to the AC adapter. Which brings me to another point the cradle I previously owned the USB cord was connected permanently onto the cradle this has a usb cord and ac adapter that it comes with if you are going to be using the dock cradle only for syncing with your computer you can just connect the USB cable. If you turn off your system you would want to keep both connected because it does not charge the phone when the computer is off if you use only a usb cable because there is no power. But I digress. The flashing light does not bother me since the phone is docked at night in my living room with my desktop. But that does seem odd that it would flash when there is nothing in the battery slot. Previous docks I have owned eons ago when they came with your phone only lit up if there was an extra battery in the 2nd battery slot. I know this is a lot to say over a very inexpensive charger but I am happy with my purchase and with the camera being in the very center of my phone I hate to have to lie it on a surface so this keeps my phone and camera as scratch free as possible.

I really like having the backup battery on hand. Job requires hours of talk time. Nice to "dock" safely when not in use. Looks nice on the desk rather than cords everywhere!

Hey dummies, why don't you pay attention to what you're buying before you give something a bad review just because you couldn't take 30secs to read the damn description... really? you ought to be slapped, this works perfect for WHAT IT IS INTENDED... why WOULDN'T this come up in a search for "Touch Pro 2" (most likely the 2 gets ignored because it's not a "word" or "high priority" to the search engine... seriously people, PAY ATTENTION!!!

This thing is awesome. If you have a 2nd battery it will charge it and it doesn't need a usb cable to charge both the phone and battery. Just plug it into the wall.

Sirius radio 5v cigarette lighter car power cord adapter 5v

Sirius radio 5v cigarette lighter car power cord adapter 5vThere isn't enough information in the description. It just says fits "newer" Sirius models. Well, the SDST5V1 Starmate 5 is a newer Sirius model and this power cord does not fit the SDST5V1's power dock.

Item broke after about 3 months, the cord is made out of cheap plastic and it ripped right at the point where the cord meats the adapter for the cigarette lighter. FYI I thought that this thing might actually light up or something, because of the plastic see through top there, it doesn't. Just in case any of you were wondering about that.

I wasn't getting power to my Sirius sat radio. I determined it was the charger. After going to numerous radio shacks to be told they don't have one but they would be willing to sell me a new radio with all the accessories I went to the Amazon site and boom there it was.It works as expected and was inexpensive.

Shipped fast. Worked, which is always good. Learned that plugging and unplugging from power port is probably the action that ruined my power cord in the first place. So, leave the power cord plugged in if you know that it won't drain your battery...probably wont on newer models.

Its nice to know that you can order online and get exactly what you paid for. This made my week and now I can listen to my XM Radio in the car I just purchased.

Retractable Car Charger for LG Vu Plus

Retractable Car Charger for LG Vu PlusThis charger does just what I want it to. It charges my phone in the car and with the push of a button the cord retracts effortlessly. It's small enough to carry in my purse. Somewhere along the way I lost mine after having it for two years, so I ordered two more: one to keep in my car and one to keep in my purse. Plus I wanted to have an extra one in case I lost another one and they didn't make them anymore, because I really like this charger and I don't trade out phones often. I've had NO problems with any of them. Absolutely no complaints!

Dead on arrival. did not charge phone at all not even on first try. Buyer be ware. Unsure if it is really made for LG Vu use. But I'm disapointed.

Go Power! GP-3000HD 3000-Watt Heavy Duty Modified Sine Wave Inverter

Go Power! GP-3000HD 3000-Watt Heavy Duty Modified Sine Wave InverterI bought the GP3000HD because I have a Go Power solar kit and it is great so I know that they generally have high quality products. This is a low cost 3000 watt inverter but it works, and it works quite well. It has 4 outlets on the front of the inverter to plug into, and it has a hardwire option as well. I saw a complaint on one of the reviews that someone could not get wiring for this inverter. I don't know if they thought that the inverter comes with cables but it does not. Go Power makes an install kit for this inverter and it is called the GPDC-Kit5 and it is on amazon.com and it is $250. This cable kit has a set of the largest cables I have ever seen. on the spec sheet it says they are 10 foot 4/0 welding cables with a special slow blow inverter fuse. I don't truly know if the cables need to be this large but I know 3000 watts is a lot of power. I have 4 batteries on my RV and I was able to start the Air conditioner and then my microwave so both were running at the same time. Obviously this drained my batteries quite but that is alot of power for a $350 inverter! Most of the time I am using the inverter for my cofee maker and the microwave but it is cool to know that I can throw on the AC if I felt like it. I would definitely recommend this inverter and I definitely recommend GO Power. I have called them before to get help on my solar kit install and they were very helpful.

3000HD unit malfunctioned after 3 weeks. Tech support was helpful but couldn't determine malfunction over phone. I was impressed they would just REPLACE the the unit before I even sent the problem one back! No questions asked! Now Thats customer service!!

My wife purchased the GP-3000 HD as a gift for me. At that time the information/fact sheet was misleading, it has since been changed. I have tried for about 6 weeks to purchase the wiring kit for this but just kept getting the run around, even from Carmanah Co. In the end they would not return calls or e mails regarding this matter.

I did find a company that would make me the "KIT", this took about ten days and another 400.00 plus dollars. Then I still had to make adjustments to hook it up and spend another $25.00 for parts. At this time I have not even turn the inverter on and have spent more for the wiring and parts then for the inverter and still the CARMANAH Co. is not returning calls !

So if SUPPORT is something that may concern you, I would look for a different product !

At the tiny price, I bought 2, but didn't expect much. The items arrived fast--within 2 days-and worked fine. I would buy from this retailer again.

This is the real deal. Original OE Samsung Rapid Car Charger with IC Chip.

Don't use non OE when these are available at such an affordable price.
