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

I tried using this inverter on both a sedan and a mini-van. This inverter is simply useless. It cannot even provide the needed power for a single laptop. I must have the engine running in order to use it.



It has not let me down.Operation is nice and simple. It powered my laptop without any issues on a recent 2000 mile trip. Very happy with this unit. Also came in handy for a few other little things. The fan kicks on as needed and is pretty quiet, I can't hear it when I'm driving.No complaints at all. It now lives in the vehicle as it has proven itself useful.



Product runs quiet. Works as advertised. The first unit blew fuses, replacement product shipped immediately (Thanks AMAZON).



Disappointed in the results. Worked great for powering one laptop but could not handle two laptops at one time. Handy product to have for long car trips. Alarm keep sounding when we tried, so had to limit the use. For light usage, no problems at all. We bought it assuming that it was strong enough for both laptops.



This product comes very handy when you are on vacation. We use it quite a bit and arrive in excellent condition and faster than expected.
