    Reliable power inverter

    Works as expected. I can run my laptop while I'm in the car. It doesn't lag or drops in power. Fan is a little loud and bothers over time. Plug is tight so you need to apply more force if comparing with plugging into a house plug.

    In car AC power

    This power adapter works great on long trips! My wife needed to use her laptop while on a 7 hour car trip and this did the trick. The only drawback if any is a slight humming noise, but it's usually drown out by road noise and the radio.

    Excellent adapter

    I cannot use with my Apple iOS laptop but otherwise this is a great compact adapter. You can hear the fan running quietly when it's turned on but I don't find this annoying. It's just there

    Good Peformance

    Powered laptop well! My only reasons for not giving 5 stars include: 1) It was noisy. 2) it seemed to get very hot fast.

    The PowerTrip IS a power trip.

    The PowerTrip 240 is aptly named. It is compact and puts the power in your hands. Easy to store should you wish to to do so. Price was reasonable, too.

We suggest looking into power banks or power stations, these may better serve your needs. Thank you.

  • Good morning! I have sleep apnea and I’m trying to find a portable electronic/battery powered outlet i can bring on a plane, so i can plug up my machine. Is this the device? Thank you!

    Its probably going to be difficult to find a battery powered device you can carry on to a plane. Most airlines won’t allow it. The device you are asking about (PowerTrip 240) is a power inverter. It only converts power from 12V DC to 120V AC. There is no battery backup with it.

  • I recently purchased a 2021 Hyundai Kona Electric Ultimate. Can I use this in the 12v socket to power my Dell laptop? The dell laptop power power supply cord says 65w. Thank you!

    Hello, Yes! Although for ease of use in the car I recommend the CPS160PBURC1 which can be found at the following link. This will also be able to charge the laptop from the the 12v outlet. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpower-160w-power-inverter-black/9037029.p?skuId=9037029 Thank you for submitting your question!

  • Hi will this be sufficient to plug the cord to the built in pump on the air mattress? I have one of the Intex elevated mattresses.

    Hello, Yes this device will be able to provide air mattress pumps with power. Power consumption varies but generally are within 10-50 watts continuous when in use. If this pump is over that, I would not recommend use. Thank you for the great question!
