Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got this item for a long road trip and it performed perfectly until...
I plugged in my GPS and a portable DVD player. It shortly blew. When I say it blew I mean it got hot enough to melt the plastic inside the main male plug as well as the springs inside that hold the fuse was turned into a pool of melted metal. It was completely destroyed. Not to mention the smell of burning plastic lingering in the cabin of the car.
The lesson is that this unit can only handle a maximum load of 2.5 amps TOTAL. Before you buy check and make sure that the devices you are plugging into it do not exceed this rating. For me its the GPS thats the problem in drawing 2.1 amps by itself. I was ok at first because I was using it first with my GPS and the Scosche USB charger accessory which only draws .5 amps.
Overall I was satisfied with this product. I only wish they would have noted its maximum load rating in the product specs.
