Rating: - Very Handy for any 12 VDC needs
This item is a neccesity for anyone who travels and doesn't want to lug around all the A/C adaptors for all thier battery powered electronics. Just about anything you have a power adaptor for your car for can be used on 115 VAC with this adaptor. This is a TRUE 1000 mA adaptor which makes it more useful than some of the less powerful adaptors available here and elsewhere. Remember the more(or higher) the mA (Mili-Amph) rating the better it is to run electronic devices. The "enhanced digital power" is also another good feature.
Rating: - Works like is says
I needed an adapter to power a car based unit in my office, and this did the job.
Rating: - does the job
After reading reviews of similar products it appears that some just don't have much mA output.
I am using this power socket to simultaneously charge a remote camera and separate monitor. It works fine.
Rating: - Good Quality 12 volt (car cig lighter) Power Converter
The item itself and the packaging it arrives in is clearly high quality. I was reading other reviews and quickly realized that quality in 12 volt converters did matter. These things are basically all made in China, but I believe there are some other inferior quality converters that appear to have been both designed and manufactured in China by some of those "second tier" junk manufacturers.
I was reading the review on another one of these adapters from another manufacturer (selling for a two cents + $2.97 shipping) and there were many comments about the unit overheating and simply being made very cheaply. Think about it, adapters create heat... so do you want some extremely shoddy adapter overheating in your wall and have it providing power to your expensive GPS, Cell Phone, or other chargeable device? Not me... that's why I spent the extra money and bought this one.
