Just be careful what you plug into the cheap ones. SatNav and DVD players will be okay but coolboxes, compressors, vacuum cleaners etc. may result in disastrous consequences
Oh dear, disastrous how? We got a pound shop one (having previously broke an expensive one by pulling a wire too hard) and was hoping to plug the cold box into it tomorrow.

I'm sure there was a thread on here a few years back from someone who had melted a Halfords one and was taking it back to complain, can't remember what the outcome was. Are they not marked with a "Max watts" figure?

The cheap ones often have very thin wire that will overheat with heavier loads. If you use it keep a watch on the adapter and cable and if it's getting hot disconnect it.
