Works for charging but disapointed

This converter is designed with a cooling fan. The fan makes too much noise. Plus if you wiggle it while the fan is running it makes ever more of a grinding noise. I don't recommend this product to anyone.

Loud fan noise/too tight a fit/fan now broke

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

I'm coming up on the 6 month anniversay with this and the fan noise has now gone from obnoxious to really annoying - the fan must be dying - I can't imagine what trouble there will be if the fan stops working (do they really generate that much heat? I guess I'll find out). Even when the fan worked correctly I can't believe how much noise it made.

I agree with the others about how tight the fit is when inserted. I too am waiting to pull the whole ligher plug right out of the dash.

Works as advertised but get a two port adapter.

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2009

Verified Purchase

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.

It won't fit my 06 Mercedes

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2010

The adaptor won't fit my 06 Mercedes R350. Tried all 4 plug, can't push it in. It's too big. If you forced it in, it probably will damage your car and the adaptor.

Works, but doesn't fit very well

Reviewed in the United States on 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.

perfect for my car

Sort of large and clunky looking, but I loved having this thing in my car and plugging all kinds of stuff into it. Eventually was stolen, but I haven't gotten around to getting another yet.
