 I should have listened to the other reviews... August 28, 2008
Pros: None. It did not work out of the box.
Cons: Fan is "way" too loud like other reviewers have stated (I thought the people reviewing it were being picky). It is always on, unlike the "Xantrex Technologies XPower Plus 400-Watt Inverter #851-0400" which only turns on at 100 Watt draw. Also it plain old just didn't work right out of the package. It would turn on until I plugged the test devices in (a EEE PC and a small jigsaw,again both plugged in one at a time, never at the same time) once plugged in the power started then cut out,then started,then cut out with only 1 second between each flux. The worst part is that I ordered a second one for my father because he saw mine and wanted one, unfortunately I did not test the one I received prior to ordering the second one. Now I need to deal with getting a refund for an open item and shipping an unopened inverter back. I tested it on 2 cars and one car is only 2 weeks old with 700 miles on it (can't be the wiring or battery). I am currently now in the process of returning this and possible picking up the Xantrex 400 Watt.
I had low expectations for this unit and they didn't even meet those. I would recommend to stay away from Jensen inverters.
 Excellent Power Inverter August 12, 2008
I've only been using this power inverter for a short while, but so far it's been great.
Just what I needed!! August 9, 2008
Road trip!!! Two adults plus four teenagers plus some pretty desolate terrain equals the desire for electronics in the van! This power inverter did a great job of powering my 17" laptop and a portable DVD player from Seattle to Detroit! At first I thought the cord might be too short but combined with the cord from the DVD player it reached to the back seat of our extended van with cord to spare. Other reviews I read said that this unit is rather loud but I didn't notice it at all. The unit stayed quiet and cool the whole time. I highly recommend it!
Not Much Use July 19, 2008

I had hopes of running outdoor tools down our road where no electrical cord can go. Found that even the little hedger at 2.7 volts won't run on this, so it's of no use to me. Before you buy be sure to do your math and figure out whether it can handle what you want to use it for!
 Works as others have reviewed, including the noisy fan July 12, 2008

This would have been a fine inverter if it wasn't for the fact that the fan started buzzing and making an awful racket after just three days on the road. That alone is why I gave this product a two star rating. There's no excuse on the manufactures part for using a cheap fan that goes kaput in just a matter of days. I'd shop around a bit more if I were you.
