 Works as advertised but get a two port adapter. November 21, 2009

Works great but i guarantee you that you're gonna need one with two ports. One port just doesn't cut it anymore. I have two phones, a portable boom box, and a laptop that travel with me all the time. Two ports i can work with but one isn't enough.
Also, the plastic plug cover wears out and comes off too easily.
I recommend getting a two port inverter, you'll be glad you did.
All in all, though, this unit served me very well for the two years i used it. Highly recommended.

This is a must have. I know someone has a laptop that only lasts an hour or less if it's not plugged into an outlet. Well, here's the solution. This adapter is a life saver.
 Works, but doesn't fit very well December 6, 2007

It does what it's supposed to do, I get plenty of power to charge my cell phone, laptop and other devices I use in the car. However, I had a similar problem as the other reviewer. It is a VERY tight fit in the 12v socket of my 2001 Honda Civic. Though I didn't pull the whole assembly out of my car like he did, I do have to pull with enough force that it warps the plastic around the socket, it makes me very nervous every time I pull it out. Luckily I never really have to take it out of the 12v socket but if you plan on removing this from the socket regularly I would definitely recommend against buying this item.

I had this same item (though I purchased it at Target) and enjoyed what it had to offer. It worked well with my laptop and portable DVD player. I completely agree with the other reviews that say it's a tight fit; I always seemed to remove the entire inner casing of the cigarette lighter/power outlet socket when I removed the converter. I also didn't like the smell it produced...kind of a burning copper wire smell. I used it less than a dozen times, and on the final use it let loose some mean sounding pops, produced an impressive spark, then began to smoke! It's now in a landfill somewhere. I suggest you try a different brand.
