    Have not used it yet, but thinking a blender on the beach for frozen drinks would be a great way to use it!

    Depending on the blender... mines 750W so it would not work.

    This, I really find it to be more of a gimmick than something useful. Air pumps can run off of your battery too. I have used it to charge the dog collars a few times but it charges very slow and seems to shut off after not too long of driving.

    Has anyone figured out a way to keep the 400w on all the time? Basically anytime you're rolling, clutch pressed in, or stick is anything but neutral, the AC shuts off. I saw an article for a second gen writeup, but I'd love it if someone figured out a 3rd gen so I could have something plugged in while I'm rollin!

    I never used it and never will, but I'd trade five outlets for one locking gas cap, locking tailgate, or thicker sheet metal on the roof so I could put a sunroof in, but that horse has been beaten into glue on here. I personally think it's just a sales gimmick.
