Tools and Hardware Reviews of Duracell 813-0400-07 400 Watt DC to AC Digital Power Inverter

Customer Review: Power Output Display Doesn't Work Properly
Summary: 2 Stars

I am not happy with this power inverter. The only reason I chose this over other power inverters was because it had the digital display for monitoring the power output (which I thought would be really useful so I could monitor the power output and not overload the cigarette receptacles in the car). In short, the power output display doesn't work properly after trying it with several devices and testing the power inverter in two different cars. The power output sometimes shows 40 watts when nothing is plugged in! It will also display 40, 50, or 60 watts for devices I know don't use that much power (e.g. phone charger). Other times it will show 0 watts for devices that I know use 20-30 watts. Also, the only output values it shows are in 10 watt increments which is really disappointing as well...nothing like you would see on a real watt meter. I exchanged mine for a different unit thinking it was just defective, but even the replacement showed the same behaviour...it is just a crappy product. In fact, it is just a re-branded power inverter from a Chinese company called Xantrex. Even the warranty is provided by Xantrex, not Duracell. I don't suggest buying this product.

In summary, the power inverter may work fine but the non-working power output display doesn't warrant spending the extra money over other power inverters. I will be returning this unit. I wish I knew of another consumer-level power inverter with a digital display since I would really like that feature...does anyone know of one besides the Duracell/Xantrex brand?
