Black & Decker PS400JRB |
The Black & Decker PS400JRB is a good fit for those that need a little juice in the great outdoors or anywhere away from available AC power. My wife and I compete with our dogs on weekends, and most of the showsites are without electricity. The Electromate has 12v outlets for small appliances like RV fans when it's hot, and portable DVD players for the downtime between runs. There are also 120V inverter outlets for light equipment such as fans that need 120v and laptops or portable TV's. A few clubs in the area use one to power electronic timers and P.A. horns for the trial all day. It has a built in radio, and works great with the iPod car transmitter plugged into the 12v outlet and plays music at our set-up all day.
The only negative I have is the recharge time. It seems to be real-time. If the unit takes 8 hours to run down, it needs 8 hours to charge back to full capacity. |

Very disappointed |
|
Not at all what I expected. Wanted to power 3 or 4 strings of 50-light Christmas mini lights for a couple hours with this, but didn't even keep them lit for an hour. Huge disappointment; if it can't keep little lights going for a couple hours, how would it possibly jump start a vehicle?????? Can't imagine THAT ever happening. |

BACKUP BATTERY |
Limited power for running any household items.
Takes forever to charge and doesnt hold a charge well. |

Black & Decker PS400JRB Review |
|
I purchased this product as a replacement for the other Electromate 400 that has the air compressor that I like a lot. I thought the radio was in addition to that feature. I found that the radio replaces the compressor and for me that was not a good trade off. I will be keeping the Electromate 400 with the air compressor and giving this one away as a christmas gift. |

We took it camping, my partner has to use a sleep machine and it was perfect for the tent. |
