BESTEK 150W Power Inverter 12V to 110V Voltage Converter Car Charger Power Adapter with 3.1A Dual USB Charging Ports, Rotatable Plug & Safety Protection for Road Trip, Camping, Laptop

This is a rewrite of my original review. I have had this product since 2015-2016 and I do not know where I would be without it. I efficiently charges my portable electronics like my smartphone and like the Energizer bunny it just keeps on going. I use it every day night and day several hours a day and it works year after year. At times it can make a few strange noises but most of the time it is pretty quite and sometimes it will work completely silently. It works and it is durable without needing kid-gloves or speacial attention. It was $19.99 when I bought it. I just throw it on the counsel of my truck and plug it in every morning. The one caveat is that you want to avoid starting your vehicle with this device connected because it will draw down your battery power and if you do not have a good battery that might get you in trouble. Beside that there is nothing negative to say about this thing. It does what it is supposed to, does it well, and does it without having to worry about treating it gently after three years of daily use for several hours every day.

Still working good after 7 years

PROs: 1) This does work, and it outputs proper AC voltage to charge a jumper box 2) Single compact unit and no nonsense, no wires etc. CONs: 1) A cheap clip doesn't hold it securely inside the cigarette lighter port, and it comes off all the time 2) Somewhat cheap looking, so, not sure how long it would last

I recommend this product. I bought this to keep in the car on the occasion i need to charge a laptop or other non USB device. I already have a great USB car charger that provides a 2.1A charge. One thing you should know that you can't get more then 150w out of a car charger. Anything more and you would need to plug directly to the battery. Using this I plugged in a small power strip and charged the following devices. Kindle fire, camera battery and my laptop. My laptop was not on at the time of charging. It worked like a charm. The device is a little bulky and there is a fan that can be heard if you don't have the radio on. I would expect as much considering the amount it would can charge and that it packs a regular plug plus 2 USB ports into it. Make sure that your DC port will fit this guy. They do make extension cables for DC ports if you need it. They also make cables that you can plug directly to the battery for something heavier then 150w.

This thing is a piece of junk. I’m glad I waited to write a review, because I really liked it at first. It started out really solid, and did a great job of supplying power to my Hot Logic. However, after about a month of sporadic use, the noise of the fan became obnoxious as it never stopped. I put up with it because of the convience, but I should have realized it was a precursor to problems. Now, when I plug it in, not only does it make the awful grinding noise, the charging light immediately turns red, and power is no longer supplied. This is after only TWO months of use. Tonight, I REALLY needed it to work, and it has let me down. It’s too late for me to get my money back, but hopefully this review will prevent others from making the mistake I did. To add insult to injury, this product came suggested as an add on to my Hot Logic order. Shame on you, Amazon, for promoting useless junk.

Purchased for my 2000 Toyota 4Runner with 3 120W 12V outlets for use on long trips etc., based on positive reviews here. The 120V AC output of the charger works well for my Lenovo t61p and a friend's Toshiba Satellite laptops. I've used it for about 2 hrs since my purchase so far. Construction is of decent quality plastic and the product feels solid. However, there are a few quirks you should be aware of. Minor, but nuisances nonetheless, and enough to subtract two stars from the rating. 1) The click-angle head of the product is weak. It cannot support the weight of the product outlet head and a plug at an upwards angle -it will creep downwards as you drive with your car's driving vibrations. The click head more or less holds its place when used horizontally. 2) The click-angle head's rotational range is narrow. The range or motion shown on the product picture is its maximum range of motion. Due to the adapter's large size, it may not fit your vehicle if the 12V outlet is right behind your shifter, etc. 3) The cooling fan is loud during operation, even when only using the USB outlets. The noise is bearable on the highway amongst highway vehicle noise (and my truck's on the loud side by today's standards), but the constant whine is unpleasant during street driving. You should purchase a separate adapter for dedicated use with USB devices. I think the noise is about equivalent to a vacuum cleaner behind a thick door or 2. I would consider a corded inverter instead of this product for space use flexibility and placement muffling -the noise will be far less obnoxious say, under your legs than on the dash console; even if the other product is equivalently loud.

Was a bit noisy but you won't notice if you have the radio on.

it works great

Excelente producto cumple con todo lo que se requiere.

The BESTEK 150W Power Inverter Car Charger is working really well. I used it for a two weeks trip in Iceland and everything was fine. With this two USB ports it really usefull, you can charge differents things in the same time and the the converter to a 110V is really usefull too. During the trip I was capable to charge all my battery for my camera even if my charger didn't have any special outlet for car.
