 Great ProductJun 21, 2010
By Leigha
I read both positive and negative reviews and decided to take a chance. We took it on a LONG car trip this summer and it worked flawlessly the whole trip for our COBY Portable DVD Player. I didn't have any issues with a fuse shorting out. I recommend that if you get this product, check your DVD player (or other electronic device you want to use) on the specific DC voltage it requires and then choose the appropriate setting on your car adapter. If you randomly choose a setting, it will blow a fuse. My DVD player had a voltage requirement listed directly above the power input, but it should also say on the fine print on the back of just about any product - look for "DC In" followed by 9V for example.

 This product is really greatJun 26, 2011
By B. Milne
This product performs exactly as expected. If the expectation that within 10 seconds of plugging it in to your car or boat's 12v outlet it is to melt and burst into flames forcing you to put said fire out with the nearest cup of coffee.
The good news is that the plastic is so cheap you can scrape it off of your dashboard with your thumbnail.
If you need an insurance claim I heartly recommend this item.
If you need something to power one of your devices without spontaneously com0busting then I hardly recommend this item.

 works but a little flimsyJun 21, 2008
By Eugene J. Osso

This is a good product but a little on the flimsy side. The button to switch voltage moves easily and you can accidentally move it while in operation and potentially damage whatever electronic device you're using it for. It does come with a nice selection of interface plugs and variations of voltage settings. If it stops working, unscrew the plug-in section to reveal the fuse. You can change the fuse if it blows and it will work again.

burns instead of chargesOct 12, 2010
By ar
Unfortunately, this converter burns rather than charges the dvd. the coby dvd that links you to this product doesn't charge from this converter at all. after a while, the converter heats up and releases burning plastic odors. although it did charge a different device (electric razor), it is unusable for the specific DVD.

A unique and handy universal car cordAug 16, 2011
By BillH
This is the first car cord I've seen with selectable voltage outputs. The included array of connectors make this a must-have for anyone using multiple electronic devices in the car. And cheap, too. Just be sure to set the voltage and polarity correctly. Recommended.
