Was taking a trip to Hawaii and flew a 767 which required this adapter in order to use electronic devices. I read the reviews and was skeptical, concerned the unit would melt on me. Got it the day before we left (had to paid the over priced shipping charges) and didn't open it until we got on the plane.
It worked great. I couldn't believe something so small could be so powerful. Our DVD player's battery died and the kids were watching their movie again in no time. The unit was easy to set up and the blue "on" indicator light is definitely a plus. The unit was running for at least 3 hours and it worked great. It was not noisy and although it did get warm it was never excessively hot. Certainly not any hotter than my laptop after it is running for 2 hours.
It had two great bonus features, a cigarette lighter adapter so it can be used in your car (thought its only use was for the airplane) and a nifty compact carry bag for all the parts.
I'll admit that I have only used it once but so far I give it five stars. It really lived up to its billing.

Product failed the first day. Cheaply made. Uses a fan for a heat sink which makes a lot of noise. Not great for the car when listening to music. Did not filter out electric line noise. Still had some noise over my iPhone. Don't buy! Plus side, adapter cord is long and the USB port for charging a mobile device is nice.

As soon as I plugged this inverter in it started smoking and sparks where shooting out it while I was holding it. Very dangerous. I returned it for a full refund........Wagan Smart AC 120 Watt USB Power Inverter

I've had my 120W Wagan a few weeks and have used it twice. It is quite small, feels solid and seems decently made. Today I ran it for an hour with a pretty good load. I had intentionally depleted the battery in my Fujitsu P1610 notebook and then ran the computer while charging from the inverter. AC current measured 0.42A which is about 50 Watts, a bit under half the unit's capacity. I figured this would be a worst case scenario for me when working in the field. The fan ran slowly at first and sped up as the unit heated up. Within 10 minutes its temperature seemed to stabilize and it never got hotter. It got quite warm to the touch but not hot, and the tiny fan was running fast, blowing heat out the end vents as intended. I ran it this way for an hour. Clearly there is at least some continuous duty capacity over the 50W I tested it at. It may very well be that it won't produce the claimed 120W continuously, but it meets my 50W needs and it is tiny. I'm happy, and will stay happy as long as this thing doesn't carp out.

This product is falsely advertised as a unit you can plug into the armrest on an airplane. I recently flew on American Airlines and found no such plug available for this device! Do not waste your money on this product!

This power inverter is great for air travel and even if you are travelling on the road. It comes with a neat acrry case, is light weight, great to throw in your travel case or computer bag. The inverter has a fan which helps keep the device cool especially useful if you're using it to power your laptop!
