I was worried this 750W Amazon Basics inverter wouldn’t work with my car’s cigarette lighter. But to my surprise, it’s perfect for powering smaller devices (under 100W) like phone chargers directly through the lighter! For anything stronger, it comes with heavy-duty cables to connect straight to the car battery. This was exactly what I needed for powering my laptop on road trips.
One minor thing – it took me a minute to realize it has an on/off button (silly me!). Other than that, it’s been really easy to use. The inverter seems to automatically sense if it’s plugged into the cigarette lighter or the battery, which is a nice touch. It even has a handy guide with estimated power consumption for different devices, although it’s a good idea to double-check the actual wattage of your appliance.
The quality feels great – the plastic casing is strong, and overall it seems well-made for the price. If you’re looking for a reliable way to power your electronics on the go, this Amazon Basics inverter is a definite winner! Read more…
