Customer Reviews

if you want affordable power on the go, this product is good despite flaws4
I purchased the Targus 100 Watt Slim Line Mobile Inverter for international business travel. I was tired of carrying two laptop batteries for 7-9 hr flights.

The product works as designed and is pretty small compared to other similar devices. It can power up to two devices at one time (1 USB and 1 US-based female input). What more can you ask for at only $45ish dollars?

Some constraints:
1. the fan is very loud. on an airplane, people won't really notice since the cabin is loud anyway. the fan is loud in the car unless people converse loudly.
2. the device does give off an odd smell.
3. when using a powerful laptop and depending on the airplane yr, make, model, etc..., you might have to remove its battery. if you don't, the power source (at least on the airbus 330) will cut off every 5 secs.
