great price. Shame I paid £10 less for the 300w version. This would power so many more items.

This is good, Ive seen them in Maplin before but decided against it as you have to direct wire it to the car. Its not portable like others that have lighter plugs.

These were £29.99 in maplin the month before last
Last month they increased the price to £69.99
It appears maplin could be playing the Woolworths trick of artificially inflating prices so that they can claim a huge reduction at a later date
By the way, as the 600W inverter does not come with a cigar plug (like the 300w and 150w versions do) I'm not sure how exactly you use this "on the move". It needs to be connected directly to the battery via crocodile clips. Not many cars have access to the battery from inside the vehicle - the only one that springs to my mind is an old mini traveller where the battery is located under the rear seat.

If you couple this with a car battery charger you can charge your car battery from your car battery.

This is another recurring offer - and sometimes has been 30 quid.

The 300W version is sometimes 20 quid on the same offer.
