User Reviews about Power Line 0900-56 12-Volt DC-AC 1000 mA Power Socket with Enhanced Digital Power

This item is a neccesity for anyone who travels and doesn't want to lug around all the A/C adaptors for all thier battery powered electronics. Just about anything you have a power adaptor for your car for can be used on 115 VAC with this adaptor. This is a TRUE 1000 mA adaptor which makes it more useful than some of the less powerful adaptors available here and elsewhere. Remember the more(or higher) the mA (Mili-Amph) rating the better it is to run electronic devices. The "enhanced digital power" is also another good feature. -- Very Handy for any 12 VDC needs

I needed an adapter to power a car based unit in my office, and this did the job. -- Works like is says

After reading reviews of similar products it appears that some just don't have much mA output.
I am using this power socket to simultaneously charge a remote camera and separate monitor. It works fine. -- does the job

The item itself and the packaging it arrives in is clearly high quality. I was reading other reviews and quickly realized that quality in 12 volt converters did matter. These things are basically all made in China, but I believe there are some other inferior quality converters that appear to have been both designed and manufactured in China by some of those "second tier" junk manufacturers.

I was reading the review on another one of these adapters from another manufacturer (selling for a two cents + $2.97 shipping) and there were many comments about the unit overheating and simply being made very cheaply. Think about it, adapters create heat... so do you want some extremely shoddy adapter overheating in your wall and have it providing power to your expensive GPS, Cell Phone, or other chargeable device? Not me... that's why I spent the extra money and bought this one. -- Good Quality 12 volt (car cig lighter) Power Converter

This does exactly what it is supposed to do, convert 115v AC to 12 volt DC, to power low-amp devices that are designed to be plugged into the power port (aka cigarette lighter) of an automobile. Note the reference to low-amp devices; it is great for cell phone chargers, most GPS units, etc. I use mine to power an inexpensive FM transmitter that I use in the car to listen to internet radio and mp3s from my Blackberry, through my car's stereo. I bought this device and an additional FM transmitter, so I can tranmsit music from my Blackberry or computer to my home theater system, clock radio, boom box, etc., while I'm at home. -- Great Little Device!
