Editorial Reviews:

The Xantrex Technologies XPower Plus 400-watt inverter provides portable power for trucks, RVs, boats, and minivans. By plugging the inverter directly into your vehicle’s 12-volt cigarette lighter, you can turn your vehicle into a mobile office and operate devices such as a 27-inch TV or 20-inch TV/DVD combo, a camcorder, and a laptop computer. This compact, lightweight unit automatically senses low battery voltage so you never have to worry about a depleted battery. It's a quiet alternative to noisy, gas-powered generators; it will provide hours of emergency power during snowstorms or blackouts. The high-efficiency design transfers 90-percent of the battery's power to your equipment, providing 400 watts for 5 minutes, 600 watts surge for easy startups, and 300 watts continuous power for operating appliances. An automatic shutdown mechanism protects against overload, over-temperature and low battery conditions. The inverter is equipped with two 3-prong grounded AC outlets, a DC outlet and hardwire applications. The durable plastic unit is 5.9-by-4.1-by-2.2 inches in size and just 2.4 pounds in weight. It is covered by a 1-year warranty.


User Comments about the Xantrex Technologies 851-0400 XPower Plus 400-Watt Inverter

The xantrex trampled over both of them. Working smooth so far.I bought a black decker, and a duracell before this to try out. 2 things to note: The fan's noise is "noticeable" but not loud; and you have to clamp directly to the battery if you wanna run anything bigger than an ordinary laptop (gaming laptops require higher wattages ,70w+). but 10$ more expensive, doesn't worth it.Highly recommended. Not much to say, been using this for a month or 2 to use my laptop at work (in my car). (The duracell's is actually made by Xantrex, check their website and u will see). So anything over 70w, the cigarette lighter plug can't handle it, doesn't matter what inverter/battery/car you have, end of story. The Duracell's has a led indicator to show wattz, amp, etc.



I use it to charge my cell phone to and from work, but have not used it in an emergency situation, yet.



But when I contacted Amazon and reported this problem, they quickly apologized and had a replacement sent out in 2 days. I was a bit dismayed when I first opened the product and tried it out. It was dead on arrival. The replacement works fine, and I was very pleased with the overall process. No power whatsoever.



This inverter worked as advertised. Unit is very quite inspite of the built-in fan. We used it on a long trip from Maryland to Toronto Canada. It kept all the laptops used by my kids powered up which kept them entertained on the trip to Canada and on the way back.



The inverter works as advertised and the priced is fair. I would recommend this product to a friend. I use it to run a laptop computer on my boat. The only negative is the noise produced by the fans.
