its kinda pricey, but i wouldnt pay msrp for it cuz he works for best buy. he said it works fine. It's pretty slim and nice looking... and it matches my car

This is the one I use. Blows every other inverter I've seen in terms of output for the price.

Not to mention it's a clever design.

What are you using the power inverter for exactly? Every one should have a recommended load it can take so it all depends on what you plan on running and how you have it installed.

Bigger items obviously require something a little more powerful and requires proper installation (directly connecting it to the car battery for power or tapping into the ignition harness for 12v power and a good ground)
