Rating  - Great little pack, above average quality and usability
I consider a jump start pack a required piece of equipment for every car. I keep one in every car I own, and make sure all of my loved ones do the same. Relying on the kindness of others when you have a dead battery is a losing proposition these days.
This is a better than average jump start pack, with a small size, good power, and a neat charging platform. Keeping track of the AC adapters for these things is a hassle, and this one has a simple charging deck that you can leave plugged into a wall outlet in the garage and dock in the battery when it needs to be charged.
I've found Schumacher to be a decent brand for items like this (jump start packs, battery chargers, etc) and this is one of the nicest units I've seen.
The price seems to vary quite a bit - I was very happy with the price and value, but have seen the price go up quite a bit since I bought a few last year for holiday gifts.
Rating - Simply awesome.
Let me begin by saying that this is a sturdy, well-built piece of machinery. It also clearly can get the job done, period. My V6 Toyota Land Cruiser had a _completely_ flat battery, with a totally crudded-over positive terminal. I hooked this puppy up, and my engine ROARED back to life within 10 seconds of the connection being made. I haven't ever heard my engine start like that before, even when jumped from other jumper packs. Now, to comment on some other aspects of this equipment: It comes with a charging cradle, but you don't need to use it, because the AC adapter that plugs in to the cradle can also be plugged directly in to the jumper pack itself. So you can just stash the AC adapter in the car with the jumper pack, for mobile use. Also, this _can_ be used to power small appliances, but you'll need a cigarette-lighter adapter, because this doesn't have a regular outlet, only a cigarette-lighter outlet. Anyway, this is a heck of a deal for the price. I did a lot of comparison shopping to get the best value, and I'm very, very pleased.
Rating - Lifesaver
Works as advertised no more needing another car with jumper cables to do it. Great for emergencies. Real user friendly too.
Rating - Perfect holiday gift
I gave this as a holiday gift and they loved it. Instant battery boost without compromising your friend's vehicle. Beats booster cables any day.
