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

A little more expensive than what I expected for one of these, but it does what it says. Had trouble getting it to fit the cigarette outlet, but a little force on the slider mechanism and it was the right size. I've only tried running a cell phone charger on it. Need to try my laptop.



Whisper quiet cooling system and enough current for radios and other electronics. It works great. If you have small items that need an up-converter, this one will do the trick. I am amazed at how small this thing is. I love it. (I remember when they used to be about the size of a car battery).



Paid for expedited shipping for delivery in time for a long road trip. Reliability of delivery from Amazon seems to be slipping big time. Delivery was late and had to live without.



Otherwise, it is good. It is a good item to convert DC in the car to AC. This is a handy little utility that I bought after Ike, where we suffered 10 days of no electricity. We used it a few times, and it works well with charging notebook computer/ipod as well as for heating up the electric curling iron for my girlfriend to do her hair as we go from one Christmas party to another. Slightly noisy due to the fan inside. The only thing is that it is not too powerful to charge large items such as bigger TV or refrigerator.



worked great, and at a great price. I would not pass on this just because of a minor and barely noticeable fan noise. Other reviewers had commented about a noise that its fan motor makes. I hardly noticed the noise from the fan.
