This heavy box has a completely inadequate manual

a fuse blower with inadequate instructions

Upon the first test it blew the 15 amp lighter fuse in my otherwise indestructible Toyota 4WD truck, and I didn't even plug anything into the inverter itself! No amperage specs or warnings are included with it anywhere, and Amazon's website product description doesn't even describe what's included in the box when one buys the unit

I'm sure it will handle much more, but that was all I really needed it for

Purchased the unit to use in my minivan to power my laptop and to recharge camera and cell phone batteries

Did the Job

Worked well and did not generate any heat (but my current demand was relatively low)

Although the unit has 110 VAC outlets, they are close together and you won't be able to plug in two wall-wart type units at the same time without a short extension cord

I located the inverter in the back, so I was not aware of the noise which was noted by other reviewers
