Digital camera reviews of Sima STP-325 325-Watt Power Inverter
Digital camera Review: Simple and reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
This inverter has ridden around in my family van for about two years now. We originally got it for a New York to Florida family road trip. Our van has an auxiliary video input for the rear-seat DVD screen, so with AC power available on the inverter, the kids could use their game console as well, and that was a big hit with them. The inverter had no trouble powering any combination of two devices in the two outlets: Game cube and laptop... game cube and cell phone charger... cell phone and laptop... I still use it occasionally for my laptop when in the passenger seat.
The inverter will trip off -- requiring a reset by turning the power switch off and on -- if it thinks there is an overload, and also every time the car is started, which is annoying but predictable. (Only a few rare times has the unit clicked off with a normal load that it is really capable of handling, but this never happened enough times to become an issue.) It also has an audible alarm if the input voltage from your car battery dips too low, to prevent draining it. This feature saved me once when I was waiting in a parking lot one night, working on my laptop, and I had forgotten my headlights were still on.
The only real con I could mention is that the cooling fan is quite loud, even noticeable over road noise. I usually stuff the unit under a seat, or under some other items in the car (while keeping the fan ports unblocked, important!) to minimize the annoyance.
The inverter comes with battery cables and a lighter plug, but I have never used the battery cables. Overall, I would recommend this unit to others.
