User Reviews about Xantrex Technologies 851-0178 XPower 175-Watt Micro Inverter

I bought the Micro Inverter for occasional use with my laptop while on the road to avoid the problem of running out of battery power. So far so good, it works pretty well and the complaint of it's fan being noisy which I read from other reviews hasn't really bothered me. It certainly seems a handy tool and can be recommended for anyone with similar needs. -- So Far So Good

I bought this product for our trip to Florida. Product worked great everytime we used it. It charged my kids Nintendo DS, our Laptop and Video Camera multiple times without any issue. I was little skeptical about its noise which I read in some reviews but honestly, I did not even notice it. Take my advice, buy it and enjoy the product, its worth it. -- Very satisfied, helped us throughout our Trip to Florida

I simply had to replace a similar product that has worn out. This is an inexpensive and useful way to keep various units playing or charged in a vehicle without having to purchase a separate car charger for each. -- Effective product at a good price

Works as described with my laptop. The fan is audible but not really noticeable if watching movies, listening to music, and/or driving. To me this was the best option for a power inverter because it small enough to pack around or store in the glove box, no wires, no need to hook up to car battery. Its plug n play and very convenient for me. -- Works
