 Surprise - It Does Everything It Claims To Do! April 17, 2007

This is the Swiss army knife of car entertainment. On first encounter it seemed too good to be true - a power inverter, an FM transmitter with 15 presets, and a USB charger (charge your iPod) - all for such a low price? Skeptical to the max, I bought one anyway. And to my surprise, it works well!
We recently completed a 10 day road trip where the unit was used to power our laptop for watching DVD's and send the audio to the car stereo via the FM transmitter. On a few long hauls the kids watched 4 movies in a row and the laptop kept going, no problem. The sound is FM quality, and the many MR presets allow you to avoid interference. The fan does make a sound, but you notice it only when the car is stopped. Also, the shape is rather funky and too top heavey for supporting itself when plugged directly into a cigarette lighter - I suggest getting a cigarette lighter extension cord and resting the VR3 unit on the floor.
Followup a month later: After the glowing review above, we went to plug in the unit for another weekend trip and ... nothing. The unit had died in its sleep. No power out, no FM signal, no display. We had the unit for just under two months but the warranty is only for 30 days so looks like we're out of luck. Was nice while it lasted, but it didn't last too long. In retrospect, I'd give it only two stars.
Power Inverter with More! June 28, 2008

I wanted a device that I could carry in my laptop bag - this one is very light and I'm impressed at how tightly engineered it is... it's very thin and overall compact for an inverter. Maybe someone would complain that it doesn't feel sturdy - it's so light - but that's a big selling point compared to the brick I had before. The USB port is a great feature, too, allowing me to keep my phone charged when I'm using it in GPS mode. Or I can power my iPod - the FM transmitter performed well when I tried it. Pricewise, it's hard to beat this since it combines an FM transmitter for an MP3 player and power for both an AC device and a USB device - I've seen units that do just one of those for more!

Used in my RV for a week trip. Ran my Ipod, GPS, and FM transmitter with no trouble at all. Works as it should. Very happy

 Does what it says but noisy. December 7, 2006

This has a very noisy fan. I had to open it up and put oil on the fan bearings before i got it to become quiet. There is no rubber stop so i had to glue an oil cover in place. other than that this is a very good product. the fan should also have a temp limiter so it shuts off in cold weather.
