Cheap Inverter
Its not going to run a tree mulcher but for the price it looks good for charging kids stuff up. Looks like it'll sit nicley in third row cup holder and plug into 12v socket in boot.
Get one while you can. What if the "Hokey Cokey" really is what it's all about?

Probably a waste of money and not capable of powering anything of use. It may charge a mobile phone, but you can get a 12v cigar charger anyway. The rating of 150w will be 'peak', and it probably wont even allow a 75w electrical item to 'start-up'. I recently threw a similar item in the bin as it was a liability.........

I have a 150W inverter that I have had for 8 years and cost a good bit more but I find this power level is very useful.
I recharge my Sony Vaio, my camcorder and my various cameras with it whilst caravanning. I also run my caravans LCD 15" TV using it either from the van or the Disco.
If its low powered equipment, thats being used for reasonably long periods, it makes much more sense to only use a small inverter as its parasitic load will be smaller and hence the battery drain.

I'll take a gamble.
Horses for courses, I only want a back up for charging laptops etc... if its crap I'll put it on ebay for same price What if the "Hokey Cokey" really is what it's all about?
