Nobody wants this crap.. oh the irony

I've got one, they do come in handy.

what can I run on this? looks too small for anything worthwhile.

This won't work for me, my truck is a manual shift and would tear this apart everytime I went to 3rd gear

Cool, now women can blow dry their hair while driving.

Can never have enough of these, especially when you have kids.

Awesome idea. I'm in for one.

I want a big Basket of Crawfish but I really want crap in it.

Got one a while ago.

We take it camping with us so we can blow up the air mattress.

I'm willing to "rough it" but I can only take so much "rough"

It does flex after the outlet. Perhaps you could point it downward after plugging into it?

These are great if you're overseas and renting a car. Easier and safer than many (cheap) wall-outlet converters I've tried. I use this while at home for sure, but it's main function is charging stuff while in England.

Utilizing my time wisely by hot ironing my hair on the way to the office in the morning? Win!!

Can you really trust this if it's a refurb? That worries me. I am not confident it won't blow up whatever item I have plugged in.

It's limited to 150 watts, so no hair drying. I got one of these in the last Woot-off. Although not mentioned or pictured anywhere on the box, there's a USB outlet next to the 120v outlet.

toast

Keep in mind that this thing is only rated for 140W. I don't think that I've seen a hair dryer under several hundred watts.

Also, from a few reviews for this product, it seems that the ground prong isn't actually grounded. This is a problem with some devices. Mainly high power devices, and laptop computers.

my car is manual also and the tilt function allows it to fit ok.

Are you sure? Mine doesn't have a USB.

I try..

Oh these things are awesome. You can run a whole 150w light bulb off of one! Buy Buy Buy so we can get to the next item!

I'm looking at it right now. Maybe they've got ones with and without mixed in the refurbs.

In for three. I camp a lot, and my class B is set up for 12 volt solar. These allow me the ability to charge up any 110 v AC goodies. Good price, too.

Thanks, Woot!

I took that into consideration, but hit the big yellow button anyway. I won't be using it for anything too intensive, though. Mainly got it as an emergency back up.

Remember when woot-offs were fun?

What the heck is this and why would I prefer it to a lava lamp?

Refurb could be for things as simple as someone blew the fuse and returned it to the store instead of replacing the fuse. Should be factory tested and work like a new one.

It tastes better than a lava lamp, and the you can smell the colors.

Wait, what's more fun than sitting on my lazyboy watching the Olympic trials while mashing the crap out of the F5 button on my craptop?

Who refurbs a $6 item !

No one fixes these things. It would cost more to fix one than they sell for. Most of these are probably new, but sold as refurbs because of blemishes or just so they won't hurt the resellers who were nice enough to stock them and sell them.

Hardly any small electronics sold as refurbished are actually refurbished. Repackaged, cosmetic damage, or just plain new but sold as refurbed to get rid of stock.

Okay. Now I'm ready for the Woot-off.

My back went out yesterday and I just got my muscle relaxers, Hrydo and have a few beers in the fridge. I'm feeling good and ready to buy.

Just hope my fingers work. Happy Wooting, all!!

Are you watching me?!

I am single, but that doesn't mean I don't cook. But this is not powerful enough to operate a microwave or hotplate in my car. Still, I persist and often dream of finding a man. This inverter can help though, and I like that it can angle. The square shape also makes it easier to hold. I would like to take cooking lessons too, but I would recommend this inverter regardless.

Not unless you're a hot chick in a hot pink bathing suit :o)

No, that's not me. She is doing well in the breast stroke right now though.

I SO much SO want to buy something, to take good use of my free shipping, but these people are making it Sooooooooooo difficult!

In for three. They're cheap, 140w is plenty for most small devices, and when I inevitably blow one to bits, I'll have more in reserve.
Notice I say "when". This is gunna be good.

Picked one of these up from this woot. Works quite well. I have it powering a Vornado fan in my van. Does the job (but it is a little noisy)
