    Hey ,having a car with all the safety features sounds like a plus. Having this around to air up a tire sounds like it is worth the money. Having to drive on a low tire can mess it up and cost more than 100 dollars .It is kind of like insurance, you hope you never have to use it but are glad to have it if you need it

    I have that exact same model. I was filming Saturday, and my phone battery was almost dead. I never thought to use this with the usb plug. Duh! I'll try to remember next time. :) I was at a campground a couple weeks ago, and someone needed a jump. I let him use my jump starter, and it worked great! I had a tire with a slow leak, and I used this often to air up the tire.

    Bought one, charged it and the first time I really needed it, it did not work. So mad I spent money on it. Tow truck had to come and use his Booster Pac Brand and it started immediately. Dissapointed, tried calling the company and hung up after holding on 50 minutes. Being in Real Estate, a female and often out in odd places, this was supposed to give me peace of mind. DOES NOT WORK!!

      I too ultimately had to try and jump my car with it, it failed... I was able to return it to Walmart and exchange it for a new one (same model) and so far it has worked pretty well... It sucks that they obviously don't have any quality standards.

    I purchased an Everstart Maxx 1200 8 months ago used it twice, the battery won't hold a charge. Look at the online complaints from users, these units are garbage. Walmart will no do a warranty exchange and it's virtually impossible to contact Everstart.

      I bought one this March along with an Everstart 400 watt inverter for recharging the jumper. Used all the features for 7 months without any problems before the jump start mode stopped working. I can hook up the cables then press START only to get the battery charge level and bars but no cable icons. The icons will appear if I set the cables wrong or after the motor is running. The Walmart store said it only had a 30 day warranty with them so contact the distributor/importer in Florida. They were closed so read reviews about them. Turned out they sell the same stuff with different brands names (Everstart, CAT, Stanley) and make their customers pay the cost of shipping both ways for warranty work. Those that had this top of line jumper had to pay $45 each way for repairs or replacement. Many complained about sending in their brand new jumper only to get one back that was beat up from prolonged use. A good number said they never got it back with the importer ignoring their calls about it. I did get a hold of their customer service to talk with an obnoxious older white woman. Told her that the jump start feature stopped working and everything else. She then said I screwed up the battery by using the inverter to recharge the battery since it puts out a different charge than an 110v wall outlet. Told her that's nonsense since the battery is taking a full charge of 14 volts between use as a jumper. She replied that's too high so the battery is ruined. Told her I had it down to 6 volts once and watched it charge up to 12 volts to 13 volts and on until it quit charging according to the bars at 14 volts. That made her say that I ruined the battery by draining the battery by using a USB port. All they would do would be to test the battery since it has a 2 year warranty and 90 days on everything else. They couldn't provide me with a wiring schematic that showed the various circuits so I thanked her for her assistance and hung up. I've been trying to keep it fully charged for 40 hours by using the inverter before trying it out on my old car battery. I was getting others to jump it off since I keep cables in the car but got tired of waiting so bought a new battery from Wally. I'd like to bypass the START switch and have the jumper cables powered all the time to make the jump feature usable again.

      I've had a Schumacher before and loved it my dad ended up getting the same one, but a certain family barrowed it without asking and never returned she said said she didn't know what happened to it..... So yeah hints why I ended up with the Neverstart junk. I bought what I thought was the best they had in stock, wanted another Schumacher like I had before. We used them everyday for a couple years.
