Works like a charm 
2007-03-20
I haven't had any problems with this product. Worked great with my dell laptop for road trips.
More for less

After more research I found I could have gotten more for LESS.
Good cell phone recharger 2007-01-10
When we changed cell phones it bothered me that I'd have to buy yet another car phone recharger to fit the new phone. This power supply inverter will work with any phone (as long as you remember to bring along the home charging cord!). My plan is to also be able to use my battery-less laptop on trips, but I haven't tested it yet. The specs on the power supply appear to provide enough juice for that purpose. My son suggested the use of this type of power supply since it works well for him.
Power anything (with in reason) 
2006-03-12
I bought this power supply because the breastpump that I used did not have a car adapter. Instead of buying a new breastpump, this Linksys Car Cigarette Power Supply saved the day. It works wonderfully and has a safety mode that will disconnect the power if you are trying to power something out of reach of what the Power Supply can do. It would work wonderfully for laptops as well as other small electrical items that you need mobility with.
Dead after a few months

As with some of the other reviewers, mine stopped working and blew the fuse in my car for the cigarette lighter. I bought a Vector brand inverter at Wal-Mart and it is much better!

Another Fuse... 2005-07-17
It came with the stickers all peeling off. Used it for about a month and the item failed on me. Then the bad news, it blew the fuses in my car and all my electronics stopped working. Tried it on a friends car and I blew his fuses (car and person). Look for something else. Seems to be a common problem.
UPDATE: Linksys replaced this product instantly. Works but a little worried it will fail again.
UPDATE ON UPDATE: Died again...
Not a quality item 2005-07-08
This item worked for a while, but required fiddling (unplugging and replugging repeatedly) with the lighter socket each time I restarted my car. Eventually, however, it blew out the fuses in both my lighter sockets. Don't waste your money on this piece of crap.
The Linksys converter was pure junk! 2005-07-07
The product not only did not work but blew out fuses in my car. The mechanic who checked my car out said the device had a dead short in it. I have written to your customer service department and asked for money back but to no avail. I will not purchase another thing from Amazon until my money is refunded.
Never worked 2005-06-16
About a year ago I got one of these to allow me to play DVDs for my kids on my laptop while travelling. It has an alarm that sounds when your battery is getting too low -- well it sounded immediately . I figured that my car battery was not fully charged or on its last legs. I hadn't tried to use it since. Now that I'm taking another trip, I thought I'd try it out in other cars. No luck. The thing is dead -- doesn't do a thing when I plug it in.
