as good as can be expected 
2007-09-22
I bought the Kensington inverter for a trip to Europe. Flew Continental which has power in certain rows. The Kensington worked really well, kept my laptop charged the whole time. Was worried about the fan noise because of other reviews I had read, but this proved to be a non-issue. If you keep the Kensington on the floor, you can't even hear it. A couple of times I had to power the unit off & on to get the green light to come on, but otherwise it worked as expected. The only thing I would have done differently (in retrospect) is buy one that had a USB port for charging USB devices like our iPods. Good value for the money in any case.
The fan is just too loud 
2007-08-18
The product is a nice size and weight, is well designed, and works as advertised. But the cooling fan is just too loud. It was audible in my car at freeway speeds, I would hate to sit next to me on an airplane and have to listen to it for a transcon flight. I'll have to research another one.
Great on the plane and in the car

I own another older power inverter that is heavy, bulky, and has a metal outer casing. This inverter from Kensington blows it away for a number of reasons:
1. It comes with an adapter for airplanes that fits into a standard cigarette lighter opening, or a smaller one that has become much more common. I didn't even know about the smaller connection until I bought this and had to use the smaller connector on my first flight.
2. It is exceptionally light and small. If you've ever owned an inverter, you'll pick this one up and be amazed at how light and small it is compared to older technology.
3. The cord from the connector to the base unit is a perfect length. It doesn't hang or dangle from the lighter like some other adapters I've used.
If you're debating getting something like this over the iGo, then I would recommend this. I've been through this internal debate before, and although I love to spend money on new technology, I just couldn't justify buying the iGo because of all the uncertainty about compatibility, tons of adapters, and price. I can handle the few power packs that I need to take on a trip... and this inverter works like a charm with anything that normally plugs into a wall socket.
I've used it on a 14 hour international flight (China) and a 4 hour domestic flight, as well as in the car and I couldn't be happier with the performance. I basically just use it for my laptop, but have also used it to charge my phone. I highly recommend it!
Great Product! 2007-07-05
This is a great product for power consuming laptops on long drives or flights. The adapter sometimes doesn't connect the first time so you have to shake the plug but it always works in the end. Good Product!

I am very happy with the purchase of the Kensington 33362 Ultra Portable Power Inverter 150. What a great help the Kensington Inverter was on a recent cross-country trip. It enabled me to use my computer in the car, keeping the computer batteries fully charged. I was also able to recharge my cell phone and digital camera batteries while we traveled. It is easy to use and is not in the way when in use.

I purchased this power inverter to use for business and pleasure while in my car. Works great with my Dell computer and Sony DVD player. It is compact and fits right between the seats in my car out of sight. I highly recommend this one, I got fast delivery from the vendor and it worked perfectly when I plugged it in.
Terrific Gadget 2008-05-02
Worked like a charm on several long flights on different plane types. Very simple design, can't go wrong. Definitely the right purchase. Only wish would be to add a USB charge connection, but can work around that.
This cannot seem to support a 65W laptop power suppy 2008-02-11
We purchased this Kensington power inverter just before we drove from Oregon to Québec. It worked for the first hour with an Apple 65W power supply (for iBook) and then the red warning light came on and power was cut. Our cell phone charger worked just fine so I will assume the inverter could not handle the load from the laptop power supply.
Later on our trip we purchased a Jensen 160-watt inverter and that works just fine with our laptop.
A shame because the Kensington had a sleek profile which was easy to store and fit well under the bucket seat with plenty of room for adequate ventilation.
Works great! 2008-01-25
I've only used this in the car so far, and not on an airplane. I actually bought it for when on long family car trips or on the road for business. It even charges my computer battery when plugged into the car, so I'm very pleased. FYI, the loud fan some have complained about is not a big deal at all. The fan portion sits on the floor, and I can't even hear it over the car. I can't imagine how anyone can hear it on an airplane unless they're not putting the fan portion on the floor; the cord is long enough to put it on the floor, so problem solved.
not enough power 
2007-11-01
I own a Dell M90 which takes a 130W power supply. The inverter shuts off if i connect it to my computer while running. I have to power down and shut off the computer to recharge it. not exactly what i wanted. should work okay for lower power consuming computers.
