Roadpro RPPI-100USB Review by James Jowdy (San Francisco, CA)

So far I've only used the USB port on this device to power my phone. The device does seem to work, but it also gets very hot (and also made my phone's battery rather hot). It smells like burning plastic while operating, which is probably not something you want to be breathing ever, let alone in the confined space of a car. I'm concerned about using the device for long periods of time and would also be concerned about how it performs when drawing AC power.


Roadpro RPPI-100USB Review by CynBio (Catonsville, MD United States)

This thing is silent, so the LED light makes sense. It charges my phone MUCH faster than the last inverter I had, which had an obnoxious whirring fan, and it barely gets warm while doing so. So I'm not sure what that stupid fan was all about. I haven't used it to charge larger devices, but will be next month. If it melts when I ask it to charge a laptop, I'll update this review. I don't think it's going to melt.

Oh, I'd guess that it measures roughly 6"x4"x1", about the size of a small hardcover book. Glance around your car and ask yourself where you'd permanently store a small hardcover book, and you'll see where it loses that single star.


Roadpro RPPI-100USB Review by J. Hudson (Southern California)

We recently took a road trip in our car and I wanted to be able to use our lap top, cell phone and other electronic devices that we have all come to depend on.

Instead of bringing the plethora of chargers and adapters, I decided to purchase this inverter and just bring the AC adapters that we normally use at home - no need to buy anything else.

While driving we used the inverter to power up our toys. Note, it did get hot, so make sure it is in a ventilated area. When we stopped for the night, we just took the ac adapters we had been using into the hotel room with us. Worked great
