Autocare 150W Inverter AC697 review

If all you need to do is power or charge electronic equipment, then this keenly priced inverter from Autocare will happily do the job

Autocare 150W Inverter AC697
Overall Auto Express rating

3.0

Best price: £25.99 | Continuous output: 150W

If all you need to do is power or charge electronic equipment, then this keenly priced inverter from Autocare will happily do the job. It uses the cigar lighter socket – which is just as well, as the lead is rather short. We found the power output to be relatively weak and it couldn’t sustain our five test devices, while users with electronic kit would find a USB socket helpful.
