Works well - until you need new fuse

Cons:
Can't get parts easy
Best Uses:
Travel

Primary use:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The product worked well. Had no faults with it. One day it blew the fuse. Went back to store (franchise owned) to get replacement. They don't stock the fuse! Went to a corporate owned store. Guess what? They don't stock the fuse either! You can buy the item, but you have to have them order a replacement fuse. The clerk was gracious and offered to order it. Guess what? It's out of stock! Why sell a product if you can't make replacement parts available without having to order them? Especially a part so small.
I have no quarrel with the product itself, just the availability of replacement fuses.

After the first use, the jack (female, internal) that holds one prong of the ac cord fell out of the board. I took it apart, and had to solder it back in. Worked ok after that.

I bought it mainly for long trips and to listen to my ipod. When I used it with ipod (2nd gen.), you can hear the hissing/static noice through the music. It makes listening music painful.
