Saved our sanity during travel December 2, 2008 George A. Wood 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
We bought this to power our laptop and cell chargers while on a road trip to the Grand Canyon. This unit was compact and easily packed in with the laptop. It worked flawlessly and saved our sanity by giving the kids power to "entertain" for some of the less senic drive times. The only minor complaint is the cooling fan, it just added a little white noise noticable at less than cruising speeds. On the plus side it also reminded us that it was sucking power when we would shut down the car. Overall we are very pleased with this purchase.
does the job November 30, 2008 zozo 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I've had other inverters before and this one isn't louder than any of the other ones i've had. It does it's job and is cheap. It's nice to be able to charge my iphone and laptop at the same time.
Happy with mine. January 12, 2010 T. Cupp (Virginia) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I got this inverter elsewhere. I'm very happy with it, and I was very amused to see other reviews complaining about how noisy it is. This inverter will power my laptop just fine, as well as charge my blackberry via USB. The noise is acceptable to me. I'm a guy, and I like things that plug into power and make a whirring noise. It makes a whirring noise, so I know it's on, and the green light comes on when it's plugged in to let me know it's providing power to whatever I have plugged into it.
If you have a medium or larger laptop, heed my warning: If you're looking to charge your laptop from a dead battery, this will do it, provided you don't do something stupid like turn the laptop on while it's charging. You have a choice: You can keep the laptop powered by this inverter while your battery is at full power, or you can charge your dead laptop while it's powered off. You will probably ruin the inverter or pop its fuse if you try to charge your dead laptop AND power it at the same time.

I was planning to buy Car charger for my two cell phones, Ipod, Digital Camera Charger,video camera charger; but cost for each of them was a big factor, then i got to know about black and decker inverter; It solved all of my problem. The price is quite reasonalble.
Charges all of the device quite efficiently.
Advise, it has low hissing sound; so if you are listening to soft music with your ipod connected, it might spoil the mood. Incase of Ipod first charge it
Noise level January 17, 2010 V. Sanders (Kansas) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had this unit for a year and love it. It is noisy when it starts and stops but it levels out. We often run two of them in my van since it has a back cigarette lighter also. I've found the reliability of this unit to be exceptional. I also love the USB slot on it.
