Overall this was a Good buy for $15. I bought this to charge my iPhone and my camera batteries while camping. I had already purchased the Starter set for about $50 (Black & Decker VPX903X1 Li-Ion VPX Starter Set with Power Screwdriver, Cut Saw, Flashlight, and VPX Battery with Charger) so this made the most sense as a portable charging option. I need to do some more testing but it seems to work well enough and I don't have to set up solar cells or use a hand crank. Had this come with the starter set I would be much happier. The quality on these products seem pretty low, but at the discount prices it gets the job done.

Good product and it's great to have on hand on the road or in a power outage.

This little VPX Inverter will operate most ELECTRIC RAZORS and I found it WILL recharge the iphone if you plug the iphone charger into the 115 volt port and forget about using the USB port.

Two thumbs up !

Works well for its purpose. Have used to charge cell phone and iPod touch. Found out that cannot charge iPod from USB port because power draw is too high. May be able to use USB for charging smaller items. Works well for price.

I love this little power supply. I read the other opinions and got the feeling Some of the people didn't give this device a good try. One must also keep in perspective what the device is offering to do. If you want more power (to run a lap top) then get a device that is rated to do so. I myself don't care to carry around a generator or a thirty pound car battery. It works perfect for what it is advertised to do. Plus the batteries are not dedicated. You can operate many devices with the same battery. If you want to cry about the thing I would suggest reading the information carefully and with a modicum of knowledge on the English language.
