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

I have not had a chance to use item very much, but I will comment on the service.Very fast and well packaged. Very pleased.



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. It certainly seems a handy tool and can be recommended for anyone with similar needs. 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.



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



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.



Not sure what caused it to happen suddenly, but we notice she's not getting power anymore and all of the power outlets in the car won't work. My wife was thrilled to be able to surf the web while I drove on a recent road trip. Like a lot of folks, you assume the best when a product is as highly rated as this one. She was on her 13" Macbook and plugged into the power outlet of a 2009 Audi Q5. I can only assume it was drawing too much power.I'd still love to be able to power our Macs in the car if anyone has a suggestion. Everything worked great for maybe 5 minutes.
