Amazon.com Product Description
The Black & Decker Electromate 400 Portable Power Station/Jump-Starter/Compressor has 450 instant amps to start your car in the unlikely event that your battery goes dead. You can never count on finding someone to jump-start your car, even if you have a set of jumper cables. The Power Station/Jump-Starter/Compressor will alleviate this problem by giving you the power you need to do it yourself. 
Black & Decker's Electromate 400 is a powerful and compact tool to restart your vehicle. View larger. | 
The Electromate 400 comes equipped with an air compressor. | 
It also has two 120-volt AC outlets for powering small appliances. | Ideal for Roadside Emergencies
When your car loses power, the Electromate 400 has enough power to both jump-start your vehicle and run emergency appliances such as portable lights, radios, cell phones, and small tools. The Electromate 400 is also ideal for non-emergency situations like tailgating parties, camping, power outages, and any other situation where no wall outlet is available. The two built-in 120-volt AC outlets allow more than one appliance to be operated at once. Inflates Tires, Sports Equipment, and More
There's also a built-in air compressor that allows you to inflate bicycle tires, sports equipment, and pool toys, but this compressor is also powerful enough to pump up the tires on your vehicle. Other Features
The Electromate 400 also comes equipped with a built-in, ultra-bright LED work light for emergency roadside assistance and an exclusive, built-in 120-volt AC charger that plugs into any household outlet. Other features include a keyless on/off power safety switch, reverse hook-up warning alarm in case the jump-start cables are attached to the wrong terminals, vehicle alternator voltage check, and LED battery status indicator. Rechargeable
This unit recharges easily from any household AC outlet or DC automobile cigarette-plug style outlet, so that it will be ready the next time you need it. Warranty
Black & Decker offers a full 2-year warranty.
What's in the box
The Electromate 400 unit, a 12 volt charger, heavy-duty cables and clamps, and an adapter nozzle set.

 Not as pictured or described August 23, 2010
anonymous (Bedford, NH USA)
The B&D Electromate 400 is pictured and described as having 2 AC and 2 DC outlets. The device has been cheapened and actually only has 1 AC and 1 DC outlet. I am very disappointed in this misrepresentation. Additionally, the item can not be returned to Amazon as it is classified as "hazardous".
B&D Jump Start unit August 16, 2010
David M.
This unit works as advertised.
Have had the opportunity to use only the jump starter itself and cannot comment on the air compressor. But if also works as well, this is a terrific add on to your tool arsenal. Good value for the money.
Very Good Product August 9, 2010
Robert A. Green (Nashville, TN)
Just recevied this item a few weeks ago, therefore, I have only used it a couple of times so far. But, so far, so good. Everything seems to work well. I would have given it 5 stars, but, the one thing I don't like is the fact that there is no place to carry the jumper cables with the battery box - you have to carry them seperately, which is a little odd!
 Very useful. Has saved me on a few occassions. July 28, 2010
Michael S. Wolfson (Mile High City)
I have been very happy with this product (although the version I own is slightly different than the one pictured).
It is perfect for a quick jump start (for instance, if your very busy kid manages to turn something on that you didn't expect, the night before you are due to get to the airport early, and your wife has already left for work, and you are tired, and the dog won't stop barking...).
Sorry, where was I - oh, this thing works perfectly. It is extremely easy to bring this battery pack to the front of a car, and hook it up. Much easier then trying to maneuver 2 cars so they are close enough to string the cables between.
I did bring it camping, with a coffee maker (thinking I would be the hero with fresh coffee in the morning), and it didn't work. I suppose the amperage of my unit (which might be lower power than this one, I am not sure) - wasn't enough to run the coffee maker.
Otherwise this thing is great, and is a purchase I have been very pleased with.
4 year owner, great product July 10, 2010
D. Franciamone
I have owned this item for over 4 years. I have never owned a different model or brand so I can only cover how reliable and useful it has been....VERY. I initially bought this to recharge my car when my battery went dead. I have since used every function of this device. I have a slow leak in a tire that I pump up every week or two with this and I run my 95w laptop off of it every few weeks (it lasts for about 4 hours if I put the laptop on "powersaver mode").
The only problem I have ever had occured just this week. I had to pull out the battery as it wasn't being recharged correctly. I hooked the battery (it's a 19ah battery for those that care) to a proper recharging station and it is fully functional again. I have been very happy with this purchase.
