I purchased this 12 months ago, and I have just watched my second one die a similar death to the first. For some unknown reason, the inverter alarm would go off (and never ever stop until you remove the fuse) after inlfating the tires. It was under warranty, but returning it requires shipping the heavy thing at your own cost.

It just happened again to the replacement unit, and I'm not planning to return it. My advice would be to buy it from a local dealer so you can hand return it when it dies on you.

It was perfect for our tailgates when it worked.

First I did read everyone elses review so I new what I was getting into. Yes the radio could have a better sound, but it works. Compressor works good, jumper box, light...all good. The big reason I bought it was for the power inverter. It says to 14 amps and I have a recipocating saw and a circular saw that are both 13 amps and it won't operate them. I'm a handyman and sometimes for a short period need to have something like this for little remote jobs and it wont do it. I did you it with some hedge clippers and it worked great. Note the accessories that you plan to use it for and there amperages. Apperance wise I like it, it seems very sturdy and durable, noting the black sides on it are rubber so it can take some bumping around.

Got the unit. Charged as directed. Put it in my car and needed to use it a couple weeks later. Connected it to my battery and it did not have enough of a charge to start the car.

Fully charged it again and put it back in my car. Checked a week or so later with a meter and the voltage had already dropped below 12V (believe around 10-11V). Fully charged again and then left it in my garage to see if the hot car was the issue. Even inside the garage, after a week or so the unit was dropping in voltage.

Contacted the company and they sent me a RMA, no questions asked. Now I have to pay to ship the unit back to them for replacement . . .

Received two of these. One for each vehicle. One would not charge right out of the box. Called Amazon expecting a fight. I was wrong, a new one was sent immediately at no additional charge and no need to return the defective unit.

Have used both units to inflate bike tires, balls and to power 12VDC items. Unit works exactly as advertised. Do not use it to inflate an air mattress. It's not designed for that type of work - ask me how I know ;)

This will be the standard gift to relatives, especially those living in the North where a dead car battery makes for a really bad day.

Unit has most of the options one needs but came cracked and broken due to minimal packing material. The product box is thin and the shipping box had only one piece of bunched up brown paper. So of course this heavy item was damaged in shipping. Amazon will replace, lets see if that one is packed to survive shipping. By contrast an Energizer All in One came well packed in sturdy boxes and arrived alive.
