Customer Reviews for 'Schumacher IPD-1800 Instant Power Jump-Starter with Docking Station'
More Garbage From China
Just sent back the second defective unit. Schumacher said they never recieved the first one I returned and I received the replacement a day later (their record keeping leaves a lot to be desired). The replacement was also defective! I bailed out and asked for a refund. Made in China-Beware.
Lots of power with convenience in mind
Sure, professional grade jumpers work the best, but aren't always the convenient. This Schumacher has the power to compete with the best, but easy enough for child to use.
Pros: lots of power (enough to jump big batteries), ease of use, docking station, charge seems to stay for a long period of time
Cons: a bit heavy
Conclusion: I think this is definitely worth getting, especially if you're driving a car that seems to die all the time. Its been a life saver on many occasions.
Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I received the Jump start for Christmas last year and have tried to use it twice with no luck. Can anyone tell me the proper way to hook it up. I can't find my booklet for it ? Thank you. "Frustrated."
Disappointing.
I purchased this unit based on all the positive reviews, but unfortunately, I cannot say the same. I guess I must have received a defective unit. The main battery would not charge through the dock and the LED's on the dock were not in synch, as it showed full charge whether the main unit was attached or not, even before charging. The battery charged fine on its own and I concluded that either the dock itself or the battery contacts must be faulty. I could have done without the dock, but the idea of unprotected contacts being bare makes no sense. What made me decide to return it however was the unpleasant experience with Schumacher. After 3 days of calling, each time I was given the run around and they had no records of my issue (Like I was calling for the first time). Finally they decided I had to ship the entire unit (at my cost) so they can "test it". So much for customer service and warranty on a brand new unit out of the box. I decided to return it to Wishlist247 and they paid for the return shipping. The 3 stars is a balance of 1-2 stars for the product, 0- star for Schumacher, and 5+ stars for Wishlist247.
Dependable Product!
I am very impressed with this product as far as it's dependability and ease of use. I had a problem with a battery drain on my vehicle in which the battery would be dead every morning when I would go to start it. I used this product every day for a few weeks to jump off the car until we could find the source of the drain. It worked flawlessly every time I needed it. I had always been scared to jump start a battery, but with this product, it is so easy I didn't have any worries. I could even throw it in the trunk and take it with me when I thought I might need it.
I have had it about 6 months now and I love it! The peace of mind is well worth it!
