Only used it once, and it worked fine. Like how the cords can be put away inside... but it is a little complicated to use. Never needed the instructions for a battery charger in my 50 years till this one. Bought it cuz i lost my old one I've had for 20 years... and all the reviews said they liked this one.

Purchased as a gift for Dad to replace his aging Schumacher charger. Double the amps of his old one with many features it didn't have for the same money. Can't go wrong with this unit. Dad was happy and hopefully this charger serves him as long as the old one did, it should.

Device is great, Home Depot did sell me a used one but not worth the effort to exchange. Left message for store manager with no response. Product excellent, Hone Depot poor.

Easy to use with a nice, intuitive design. Relatively inexpensive, but with great features and value for a home garage. My only issue was trying to get a good connection with my hybrid's recharging points (tight fit with the red clamp on the positive terminal post), but the display let me know when I finally made the proper contact. Got my Highlander back in business (but still had to visit the dealer to reset the check engine light!).

good enough
wish it was portable but for 60 bones it does the job .a really long hard job.but I eventually Gor my gmc jimmy jumpstarted .after 1 and a half hours I was on the road . the trick for me was to let it mentally break me down and admit defeat then and after letting it do the 90 sec charge booster fail and start the 3 minute booster charge build up 2 times boom it kicked over and started .

    I am not very pleased with this unit. It is very finicky about what batteries it will charge. I really need a charger that I can hook up and it will just do its job. So if you are looking for a charger that will serve all your charging needs, this isn’t the charger for you. If you are someone that just wants a simple charger that will do some light charging for you, then this is it.

    I had to charge a dead battery when I first got it and later used the jumper function for a '12 Odyssey... Worked both times and it stores away nice and neat, no complaints at all

    I decided that the charger would not work for my situation due to the long length of an extension cord that would be needed. I should have done more research prior to purchasing. However, the return/refund process was seamless (other than having to go through In-person customer service at a nearby store).
