So buyer beware of what you need this for. It would work for a lower amp'd item, but that was not why I bought it. Amazon recommended this product for an air compressor that I was buying. It didn't work for the compressor.
No problems noted. Arrived in a timely fashion, works as advertized, used it on a two week vacation to florida this spring.
It is a perfect solution to not buying a house charger for every gadget you own. The unit is small enough to be out of the way.
My first impression was that it was definitely much heavier than the Sunforce 55520 and it seemed to cool the fridge effortlessly. I got no juice from the adapter at all. It seems like after reading some other reviews here, the amp rating of 5.8 may indeed be exaggerated, so I decided to go with another product (5 Amp AC to 12V DC Power Adapter). My conclusion.
I purchased this unit to power the Koolatron Compact Kooler, which uses 4.5 amps. If you need an AC/DC Power Converter that will power a device upto 5 amps, skip the Sunforce and go with the 5 Amp AC to 12V DC Power Adapter. *** UPDATE ***The 5 Amp AC to 12V DC Power Adapter worked great right out of the box. I figured since this adapter is rated at 5.8 amps there should be no problem.
the adapter is a dud. You won't regret the decision. Well there was a problem. At first I thought it was an issue with the cooler, but I quickly ruled that out when I was able to get the cooler running while plugged into a 12V outlet in my car.I then thought that maybe the amp rating of 5.8 was exaggerated, so I tried plugging in a standard car phone charger, which also did not work with the adapter.
Works great.Thank youSteve Arrived proptly and was in good condition. Unit is a little noisy but were I am using the converter it doesn't matter.
