bad power supplies:
We purchased 6 of these power supplies to power our laptops in our retail stores and of the 6 we purchased, two of the AC power supplies have gone bad so we were unable to charge the units. After 3 emails to the manufacturer, Xantrex, they shipped me one replacement AC power supply free of charge. However, when the second one went bad and I have now contacted them 4 times, I have not heard anything back. Have even tried contacting the manufacturer of the AC power supply, Speclin, to see about purchasing some directly from them and did not hear back from them either. So now I am stuck with one of these units and I am unable to re-charge the unit.

Good machine:
Well the first one of these that amazon sent to me died in two days. The charging light refused to go out until the unit was fully charge even if the unit was unplugged, also the reading on the digital readout of wattage was vastly incorrect. After receiving my second unit from amazon it works as described and I've found that this is mainly designed for light duty applications. Even though it sounds very powerful since it's able to run a device that is 600 watts and all. If you really desire to power something that powerful get a generator or something that holds more juice than this. For the most part I just use this to charge other batteries ie cell phones, laptop, and rechargeable batteries. I charge this machine on a solar panel about twice a week or so. 30 Watt Mono-crystalline Portable Briefcase Solar Panel 12V Charger - temper proof glass It takes 3 to 4 hours to charge through the DC input on a perfectly sunny day, which could easily give you to time to charge cell phones and laptops and not have to use this machine till the evening.

Handy item:
Pros - Well built and durable. Like the display that shows the wattage being used and amount of power left in battery. Also like the maintenance charge ability. I can keep the battery plugged in and then its ready to use when needed. Runs my 32 inch TV, DVD player and 100 watt stereo amp with surround sound for more than an hour. Cons - Wish it also came with an air compressor (I know, what about the kitchen sink!)

Great for camping:
Purchased this to camp with in our Vanagon. Lasts a long time, and there are plenty of outlets, including a 12V. The % charge remaining LED works just fine, and it charges quickly off of a battery or wall socket. Radio is OK, nothing special. Haven't tried to jump start a vehicle with it yet, but would anticipate that it works as advertised.
