Peak PKC0BO 400 Watt Tailgate Power Inverter

Used the inverter to pump up a large air bed; the truck had to be running to ensure enough power, but otherwise NO problems. Ran large laptop on the road, very quiet. Price verses watts I am very happy with the product.

I bought this inverter back at the end of October and have used it for work almost every weekday. I used it to charge my Cell phone, Bluetooth headset and/or my laptop while driving. The fan is a bit loud but not really noticeable with the radio on or while highway driving. The inverter went on me yesterday. It kept on blowing my power socket fuses in my car. The fuses on the inverter are all fine. I've already contacted Peak about this problem and I am waiting to hear back from them. At this point I can't recommend this product.

Worked great for 90 days. Able to power all types of devices with plenty of plugs. Fan does turn on frequently and is annoyingly loud and high in pitch. On the 91st day of ownership (Murphy's Law) and the 1st day the manufacturer's limited warranty expired, the fan failed and my car began to smell like burning plastic. Could be mine had a defective fan, but I never pulled more than 100W. 90 day life span for a 400W inverter under minimal use conditions... I'd look elsewhere if I were doing it again.

This thing is big and clunky (simulates heavy duty?) with a fan that exhausts heat every 1 minute. Mine had a defective fan that vibrates the unit and creates an unusually loud hum every minute when fan turns on. The blue lighted "Peak" logo is so bright I could notice it in the backseat when I was driving in the dark. I was surprised the logo stays on even when you turn off the unit and serves no purpose except to advertise the logo. I wish it had a on/off switch. The USB is stated to be rated at 500ma each for anyone interested.

Although I did not purchase this on Amazon, I felt it prudent to to post a review here. I have owned this product for approximately 2 months. I use it mainly to charge my cell phones via the USB port. About 5 minutes into my drive home the other day, I noticed smoke inside my vehicle. I pulled off to the side of the road, popped the hood and checked the engine compartment for the source. Realizing the smoke was not coming from the engine, I checked the inverter and sure enough , it was the source.

I took it apart today for giggles and found a black wire which connects to one of the USB ports was fried. The scary part is neither of the 2 fuses popped. Aside from that, the rest looks to be intact.

Now you might be thinking possibly the unit was overloaded at some point. Negative. The biggest item charged on the unit was an IPad.
