OK but not great
(3 out of 5) by N. Kaufman on Feb 22, 2008 (New York)This unit charges my two ipods and my camera as I expected it would. It would not charge my friend's iPhone through the USB port although it would charge through the iPhone AC adapter. It extended my laptop by 30 to 45 minutes -- I had expected more. One thing I didn't like is that when the device itself is plugged into AC, it will not charge anything.

Hours of power...
(4 out of 5) by Billy Shakespeare on Feb 26, 2008 (Seattle, WA)I have a DS and a PSP and both worked fine with it. I had a little bit of trouble trying to charge my iRiver Clix via the USB port, but I think it might just be the software with the Clix. When my Clix has power and I plug it in, it just says USB connected but it won't charge. However, if I drain all the power from the Clix then it will charge because it never goes into the Clix OS. It is what it is; portable power. It does tend to get a bit toasty when it's being used, so hopefully you have a little leg room where you use it. It is actually smaller than I thought it would be: 5.5 x 3.25 x 1.5 (approximately).

Much more expensive than Black & Decker CPI100B
(1 out of 5) by John B. Mudd on Sep 18, 2008 (Orlando, FL)I like that this product uses lithium cells instead of NiMH but, for the price, the Black & Decker CPI100B is better choice, as low as $38.
UPDATE: Price for Duracell dropped to $42 so I bought one. Big disappointment... shipped from from NY company which scared me and... sure enough, it just arrived and it's USED, not new as advertised. This is the second time amazon has led me to do business with cheats from NY state.

Power on the go
(5 out of 5) by L. DeLosh on Jan 2, 2008The Duracell DC to AC inverter works great. It gives me about 40 minutes of power for my laptop that lets me run my laptop and charge the battery simultaneously. The end result is that it actually gives you about an additional 70 minutes of run time for a laptop. The package is a compact, low heat rejection device that is well designed with may vents. The 2 USB power ports come in very handy too. I can't wait to try it on a plane.

pretty good, and convenient
(4 out of 5) by Timothy Johnson on Dec 18, 2007 (Harrisonburg, VA)I think the only thing wrong with this device is that it didn't live up to the extra 2 hours of battery life for my laptop that I expected, maybe around an hour or so. It also doesn't charge my iPhone via the USB ports, but I don't know whos fault that is (apple or duracell) Otherwise it has proven to be a very useful inverter and power supply. I am so glad they came out with this.
