I like the product. It will power most small electric items which do not electrically produce heat -- iron, toaster, hair dryer, etc.
I keep it plugged in in my basement. I used it on two camping trips and also for a short power outage (less than 1 hour). I was able to run a 27" CRT television and a floor lamp during the power outage without any problem. The manual recommends a maximum 13" TV to not overload the unit, but I found that my 27" TV only used about 100 watts. The digital watt readout is very handy to insure that you keep below the unit's rating.
It won't provide continuous power like a generator, but it is portable, quiet, and easy to use. My 7 year old can lift it and knows how to turn it on -- you can't say that with a generator.
I liked this model because it did NOT have the bells and whistles of the other models and had a larger amp capacity. I already have an air compressor that plugs into the lighter socket in the car; I didn't want a unit with more attachments than necessary for it's main function -- a temporary power supply. I have not used the jumper cables, but they are a heavy duty quality.
If you want fail-safe back-up power for an outage then buy a generator.
But if you want a stop-gap power supply which is easy for the whole family to use (wife, kids), then this item is highly recommended. Keeps you in touch with weather and news during a short power outage, can be used on a camping trip, or as an A/C (inverter) power source in a car.Get more detail about Xantrex Powerpack 600 Watt Jumpstarter, Power Inverter and Backup Power Source.
