Whistler Pro-200w 200 Watt Power Inverter
200-Watts Of Continuous Power. Overload Protection Automatically Shuts Down Inverter If Load Exceeds Inverter Rating. Smart Surge Control Loads Inverter Above The Continuous Rating For Up To 10 Seconds. Automatically Shuts Down Until Short Circuit Is Removed. Automatically Shuts Down If Internal Temperature Exceeds Safe Design Parameters. One Ac Outlet And One Usb Port. 5-Point Adjustable Power Plug And Ground Fault SensingThis inverter provides a "Modified sine wave," not a true sine wave (if you hook this up to an oscilloscope, the waveform will be boxy instead of smooth). This isn't advertised on Amazon's page, nor on other websites. It is in the user manual. Some applications may be very finicky, so do some research on your particular device before you buy.Also in the manual was that this inverter will automatically shut off if the load is too much. It will source more than 200 watts for 10 seconds for start up applications (e.g. motors). The manual said it will draw <.7 Amps when turned on with no load, so your best bet is to turn it off when you're not using it.I used this to charge my MacBook Pro without any problems, and used the USB charger to charge my iPod touch. Overall if you're in the market for a power inverter, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this one.

Amazon offered much better price so I went for it. I have used it once in the camping trip last week and it performed great, we used it to power up the laptop computer and the drop light with 20Wat neon light in the tent. It is surprisingly well made for 20 bucks, solid aluminum convenient size casing, fan is quiet and it comes on and off intermittently as needed, it gives you a signal if your battery is getting low so you not drain it completely.I would reccomend this nice piece of equipment for a friend. I have no I idea how long it will last but for now it made my wife and kids happy :)Thanks For Reading. | 40 | |

| Author: Bernie "Bernie O." (Virg.. | I bought this with two things in mind. The required power availability to charge/operate both my laptop and smartphone and noise level of the fan. My laptop is not a new, power-hungry machine, but it's no slouch either. It's required wattage is 85 Watts for charging, and operating. The smart phone is being charged/operated by the USB port from the laptop so I suspect that the USB ports are included in the allotted 85 Watts.The noise level is quieter than I expected and only turns on due to a temperature sensor, I presume. A little music on the radio and you'll never notice the fan. | 38 | |
