 Not worth it!! November 21, 2008
I bought this product in hopes of jump starting my lawn tractor as well as a vehicle (if the need came up). Well, the need did come up... three times.... and this product was NOT able to give me enough power to successfully jump start my Explorer. It made the lights come on, and the 'open door' bell sound, but that was it. Right out of the box, I charged it by following the directions precisely. I truly feel like I've wasted my money!! Worse, I didn't find out how bad it was until it was already out of warranty.
 Excellent value, compact- works as advertised October 18, 2008
Lightweight and compact, easy to use to jump start the car- best value for the money
It was great for a while! October 7, 2008

purchased this about two yrs ago, never had to use it to jumpstart any car. But last month my wife had a flat tire, used the fix-a-flat stuff for a partial inflation repair, then tried using the compressor (was just charged the prior evening). Compressor ran at full bore for less then 10 seconds, then barely ran at all. br /br /recharged it again, while it was at full charge turned on compressor without any tire connected and same thing.br /br /if you want this as an all purpose unit, only depend on it as a power source but not as a emergency air compressor

I had a similar item because I've always had a bad habit of leaving my lights on, and sometimes play the good Samaritan when I see someone who needs a jump. I forget the brand, but it lasted 5 years and was always ready when I needed it. I rarely had to re-charge the thing. br /br /When that one finally died, I purchased the Black Decker Start It. I charged it up and a few months later when I needed it, the unit was was near dead and didn't have enough power to start my car. I foolishly purchased another for my wife's car because it was the only brand sold in that store. That one never accepts a full charge (the green light never comes on no matter how long it has been on the charger) and loses its charge just as quickly as the first one I bought. br /br /I find I have recharge both every month so they will be ready when I need them. If I forget, I'm out of luck. br /br /An emergency car starter that won't hold a charge is useless.
