Good product and it's great to have on hand on the road or in a power outage.
This little VPX Inverter will operate most ELECTRIC RAZORS and I found it WILL recharge the iphone if you plug the iphone charger into the 115 volt port and forget about using the USB port.Two thumbs up.
May be able to use USB for charging smaller items. Found out that cannot charge iPod from USB port because power draw is too high. Works well for price. Works well for its purpose. Have used to charge cell phone and iPod touch.
If you want to cry about the thing I would suggest reading the information carefully and with a modicum of knowledge on the English language. You can operate many devices with the same battery. Plus the batteries are not dedicated.
I read the other opinions and got the feeling Some of the people didn't give this device a good try. I myself don't care to carry around a generator or a thirty pound car battery. I love this little power supply.
It works perfect for what it is advertised to do. (-: x 16k One must also keep in perspective what the device is offering to do.
If you want more power (to run a lap top) then get a device that is rated to do so.
The problem with the VPX inverter is that the charger is quite bulky. They are much smaller -- and more importantly, they recharge off USB. This was on clearance at the home center, so I bought it along with the VPX sawzall. The inverter would be worth its weight in gold if it was also a charger -- off AC or USB.If I needed a USB port on the go to charge my iPod or phone, I'd rather use one of my dedicated rechargeable battery packs with USB ports. I bought it on a "why-not" whim, but doubt I would pay anywhere near what is the normal asking price -- and might not even pay the clearance price if given the chance again.The AC jack is very low power, it can feed a cell-phone charger, PDA charger, or toy charger but that's about it. It dies with anything needing more wattage such as a laptop.The USB port is very low power, only 350ma compared the 500ma that most computer USB ports give.
