 Must-Have for long trips July 21, 2010
Eric J. Gonzalez (MERIDEN, CT, US)
We purchased the Whistler PI-400W from Amazon and received it just in time for our vacation/road trip from CT to Florida (Round trip of over 48 hours on the road). The unit comes with a lighter adapter and also 3 ft cables to run to the battery. We opted to connect directly to the battery of our our 1999 Honda Civic in order to get the full power of the unit (lighter adapter has a max output of 180 watts - different for each vehicle). We were able to connect our laptop and charge our Digital Camera & Camcorder off this unit. The unit never ran hot or drained our vehicle's battery. Granted, we only used this unit while the car was running. But, at one point we had the laptop running for over 3 hours and had no problems at all. I highly recommend this for anyone needing regular home power on the road!

Just took a long trip and this is nice. You can definetely hear the fan, but it is solid and did a great job powering laptop and charging cell phone

WTF
Great product for plugging electronic devices into your car March 21, 2010
Bobby C. (Boston, MA)
I bought this so I could plug my laptops, phone chargers, portable shaver, etc. into a 3-prong receptacle in my 2010 Camry. The unit makes a little noise, but you can barely hear it if the heat/AC fan is on low or the radio is on. I've been using this on an as-needed basis for months now and have never had any issues. Excellent product for my purposes!!!
