 Loud fan noise/too tight a fit/fan now broke July 17, 2010
T Becker (COLGATE, WI, US)
I'm coming up on the 6 month anniversay with this and the fan noise has now gone from obnoxious to really annoying - the fan must be dying - I can't imagine what trouble there will be if the fan stops working (do they really generate that much heat? I guess I'll find out). Even when the fan worked correctly I can't believe how much noise it made.
I agree with the others about how tight the fit is when inserted. I too am waiting to pull the whole ligher plug right out of the dash.
 Must Have !! April 2, 2010
K. Johnson (Grand Rapids, Mi)
I have had this one for 3 years and love it !! It works great everytime. The bendable arm is nice for tight spots. Someone "borrowed" mine, so now I need to replace it and I am buying another one of these. Great to have, must have. I only wish it had 2 plugs.
 Great! March 15, 2010
TnT's Mom (Fort Worth, TX United States)
Works great. A little loud when the radio is off but it gets the job done!!
 It won't fit my 06 Mercedes March 5, 2010
M. Hsu (San Jose, CA USA)
The adaptor won't fit my 06 Mercedes R350. Tried all 4 plug, can't push it in. It's too big. If you forced it in, it probably will damage your car and the adaptor.
Look into an alternative January 4, 2010

I had this same item (though I purchased it at Target) and enjoyed what it had to offer. It worked well with my laptop and portable DVD player. I completely agree with the other reviews that say it's a tight fit; I always seemed to remove the entire inner casing of the cigarette lighter/power outlet socket when I removed the converter. I also didn't like the smell it produced...kind of a burning copper wire smell. I used it less than a dozen times, and on the final use it let loose some mean sounding pops, produced an impressive spark, then began to smoke! It's now in a landfill somewhere. I suggest you try a different brand.
