    These tiny invertors are crude junk. Don't trust your 120 watts worth of gear to it, buy a regular full sized invertor (even if rated wattage isn't much higher) as they aren't that much more expensive and handle higher load better.

    Shitty wall wart form factor.. Not all of these inverters are created equal. Cheap ones put out a square wave form vs the better sinusoidal one and some electronics may not run with it. 120W is pretty wimpy too. Notice there is no peak output rating just continuous. It screams crap!

    Size not relevant - design and execution matters most. This series (I have an older model) does supply rated Watts BUT when the car's engine is OFF, the regulation falls with the battery voltage. What this means effectively is that my laptop flip-flops between "charging" and "on battery"... which is disturbing. Keep that in mind. Otherwise, it's handy and fits in glove compartment.
