Works well for the price July 23, 2010

Purchased this inverter to power an inexpensive (and discontinued) portable DVD player over AC since the lighter adapter was broken. Powers everything perfectly. The only issue with the product is that if the inverter is plugged in to the lighter jack and switched off when the car ignition is turned off, the radio will stay on, even with the keys removed from the ignition. Very strange. Happens in all of our cars. If the inverter power is on and it's plugged in, everything turns off as expected when the ignition is turned off. Simple solution is to unplug the inverter every time the car is turned off (probably a good idea anyhow).
Otherwise, great inexpensive inverter.
 Doesn't handle all that it is advertised for regarding AC July 9, 2010

We went through two of the Wagan EL2402s. The first arrived and a piece of solder fell out of one of the vents. May have been extraneous, but better to be safe than sorry, Amazon was great and overnighted a replacement. At best I can only give mixed reviews. The is supposed to be able to handle 200 Watts with a peak of 500 Watts.. Fairly substantial in print. In reality, things like battery chargers, cell phone chargers, etc., all seemed to be fine. Where the problems began were on more "specific" devices. We wanted the device for my wife to run a 35 Watt Chi hair straightener. It would not even turn on. The description says power tools, so I thought I'd given a try to a couple. First a sabre saw, again well under peak and normal wattage to be handled. Nothing, a blip when I pulled the trigger, then nothing. A Dewalt hand drill... well kinda sorta.. If you started out VERY slowly on revolutions and worked your way up, you could get to full speed. I didn't try that under a load, but I assume it would work to a point.
I called Wagan, and they assumed some of the failures cames from the fact that AC devices are used to and built for a sine wave output. The Wagan (and I assume some others) don't produce the exact same sine wave (calling it a modified sine wave). So, your own mileage may vary. Some Notebook AC Chargers may be more sensitive than others, so you probably can't be sure. Again, I don't know that Wattage alone is the delimiting factor. It may that your particular device just won't work.
My advice, read the reviews.. If you have a particular device or devices you are thinking about running, perhaps check with the manufacturers of these different inverters. Remember electronics are pretty sensitive devices when it comes to power. While I may be willing to try a Chi hair straightener, I may not be as comfortable with a notebook.. Best bet there is to see if your manufacturer has a DC supply (Car/Airplane) adapter.
 So far, so good! June 26, 2010

A little early for an in-depth review as we just recently purchased the inverter. At this point I can say that it has performed well. We have used it to charge cell phones as well as batteries for our camera and it functioned exactly as advertised. It is fan cooled and the fan operated well and there was no problem with noise. It was warm to the touch, but I believe it is normal for them to generate heat. The only way to make it run cooler would be to increase the fan size which in turn would increase the case size and make it less portable. Based on our initial experience, I would recommend it as an excellent purchase.
no problems so far June 8, 2010

I've had it for a couple of months, but there have been no problems so far. It does get a little on the warm side after a couple of hours of use, but maybe that is to be expected.
It's OK, but it won't charge some items... May 10, 2010

Like my Dell laptop, which is why I bought it. I had to take a road trip and had to complete work during and my Dell laptop won't hold a charge for more than 30 minutes anymore. Anyway, upon plugging it in, a crackling noise came from the AC adapter and it didn't start charging. My boyfriend's MacBook Pro charges just fine through it, so I'm uncertain if it's the charger or the laptop. It's really nice to have the USB port for charging my iPhone. On the whole, I'm glad I made the purchase, but had a bad first-use experience.
