||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife and I needed to stay online during a cross-country drive. This inverter worked fine for a couple days. Then, halfway through day three, it died. Running a single laptop should be ok, right? Wrong. If you buy this thing, keep the receipt.

Buy only if you enjoy wasting money
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolute garbage, blew all my fuses to each spot I plugged it in my car. I would have returned it but I purchased it right before a trip and lost the receipt. Super disappointed, what a waste of money.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchase this to use it to charge my drone and use a airpump and it didnt work even thought it says it could generate the vtl i need it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from TechSupport
Posted .This power inverter can provide a continuous 120 Watts, with a Peak wattage of 175. An airpump will typically require more wattage than this, and is likely why it did not work as expected for you. Thank you for your review!
