We purchased this unit specifically because we own a Lexus RX 400h, which we love, and the battery in the car goes dead if we go away for 3 or 4 weeks, which we do twice a year at the least. We haven’t had to use it yet, but we are confident it will do the job. We inspected it when it arrived, reviewed all the additional features it has for other situations, charged it up, and liked it a lot. We don’t need it if the car is left at home, but we would need it if we left the car in an airport parking lot. We actually don’t know exactly how many days the car’s battery is good for, but this unit will be kept in the car. Lexus has a PLUG IN unit they can install for long idle situations, but that would not have resolved the airport parking lot problem. We are very comfortable now knowing that we would not have to call roadside assistance. We would never have imagined this problem prior to owning a hybrid and of course, the fact is that we must be unusual hybrid owners, as the dealership had not encountered this problem.

I intended to take the Power Dome on my trail riding camping trips so I can run my electric blanket while I sleep.
I tried it at home first. Even on the lowest setting of my electric blanket, the Power Dome failed. I cannot imagine this thing starting-up my little F-150 battery. Yes, the stereo sucks, but that’s not its’ intended purpose.
With this product being so weak, I just don’t know what you CAN use it for.

I should have known it was made in China. It worked to jump start a car. The radio isn’t worth much, and the air compressor got hot real quick. I haven’t used its full power to know its maximum capability yet.

Same as advertised, have not used it yet, found a very similar product (w/o radio or light) for half the price at Sams’. If you need the radio or light is it worth $50. extra? I thought it had a battery charger, but it does not.
