Meets expectations
I use this powerpack to run my pop-up camper. It is much quieter than a generator and costs a lot less too. I plug my campers AC right into the powerpack just like I would if it were a generator. I have yet to plug something in that trips the over current circuit. This summer I will be able to determine how long the battery will last while camping. Until then, I am satisfied with the peak power performance. This powerpack can handle pretty high draw without tripping.

Good product
I purchased the Duracell Powerpack 600 three months ago. Since then I have used it to jump started my van with a big 5.7L engine four times (I finally tracked down the short that was causing the van battery to discharge). I have also used the AC and DC outlets for various tasks like powering my laptop and running an electric drill. I read all of the negative comments before buying the Powerpack. For the most part I think they had unrealistic expectations about the Powerpack. Of course it is just a deep cycle AGM battery in a convenient shell. You'll be happier if, before buying this product, you Google "deep cycle battery" to learn what to expect and how to care for the battery. I think the price is right and I would recommend this product to a friend. Oh yes, the radio really is a joke.

Great Product!
The only reason I did not give this product a 5 star rating is because it doesn't have over charge protection while using the 12 volt charger.
So far I have used this product twice on my 350 cu in V8 and it has worked each time!

Nice power pack!
This thing does a great job. I use it on my boat to power lights, fans or the tv in the evenings after shutting down the generator. It works really well. My only complaint is the ear-shattering alarm that sounds when it's about out of juice. It went off at 4am one morning and scared the heck out of us! I wish there was a way to shut it off. Minor annoyance, though, for a really good product.
