Very nice! October 24, 2008
The quality of this item is excellent. We charged it up and plugged in a lamp that we would use if the power had gone out and also plugged in both our cell phones. We turned the light on and went to bed. It was still on and still had over 20% charge left in the morning. Phones were fully charged. Radio tuner could be better if it had a fine tuning knob like our weather radio has. Overall, great product.

I used one star because the system won't let you select anything lower. Maybe I got the lemon, but the unit would not charge. I first tried the AC charger, but after one week of charging the battery was still dead. Thinking it may be the AC charging unit, I trying using the DC power cable. I hooked the unit up in my car for a week of my daily commute (about an hour a day). The battery pack never moved from a zero charge. I finaly shipped the unit back for a refund.

Overall, this seems like a durable and decently sized portable power source with a few nice bells and whistles, but for the price I think it could be better. Here's what I found lacking:
1) The included jumper cable set would not plug in to the socket on the unit. I had to jam a screwdriver into the socket and actually snap a bit of plastic to make enough space. This indicates a lack of quality control and/or testing at the factory.
2) The radio tuning control is extremely finicky. Barely tap it and the radio tunes too far up or down. It takes a while to get it tuned where you want it.
3) The included light source is a dim, inefficient incandescent flashlight bulb.
 Does what it says it does.... October 6, 2008
Works as advertised.....no, it is not a generator but if you need to run a
few 40-60 watt lights, a small TV, charge your cell phone or listen to the
radio this item is great. And if you need a jump start for your car battery, it will do that, too. I particulary liked the idea of being able to hook up to the car battery and use it for extending the life of the internal battery on this unit....so far it has gotten us through 2 power failures of about 4 hours each with lights and TV....keep in mind that after February 2009 it will also have to power the digital converter box along with the TV.....that is another reason I got it.....
Excellent Item September 16, 2008
This has already proven to be a useful item. We lost power with Tropical Storm Fay, and we ran a few items easily, including a small hairdryer for my wife. Bought it at $100 and feel that was a good deal. The radio is not the best (obviously), but would be handy in a prolonged emergency. Neat side note: this item can be charged via solar panels with a little side work (explained in the user's manual).
One con: the peak wattage is 600, normal running is at 480 watts.
