"I used this to run my laptop to watch DVD's while traveling. The unit worked fine except for the nose of the fan, I had to put in under the seet so I could keep from being distracted while driving. Then after about 30 hours of use it just stopped working. Would not recommend this unit. "

"Bought it for an extended tenting trip out West and used it to recharge cell phones, laptop, and even make coffee. The only warning is to make sure that all the things you intent to run do not excede the wattage, in this case 400. I learned to read all those labels attached to the electric items. "
