What our customer's say!

"Parade Duty", This small inverter worked perfectly for adding strings of LED lights to my motorcycle for a local Christmas parade. It did get a bit hot (it has an internal cooling fan), but that was because it was inside a nylon pouch mounted on the bike. It would probably have run cooler if more air circulation were provided.

"impressive little inverter", Charges my Thinkpad T60 with 9-cell battery without a problem. Very small, perhaps a little larger than a deck of playing cards. Will easily fit in a glove compartment. Whisper quiet. I can only hear its fan if I hold the inverter up to my ear. The membrane on/off switch with dual-color LEDs is a nice touch. The shiny plastic case is a fingerprint magnet. Construction is light but durable. The side panel with AC and USB plugs is robust metal. Mine is well put together. I think I'm going to buy several more, one for each car. Overall excellent product.

"Disappointed by product.", I too bought the unit based on the vendors reputation. It is small and powered my Dell D600 laptop without a problem using the battery adapter, but it got pleasantly warm. But there were some issues.

1. You must press a button to power it on and the small blue LED is very hard to see. If the power is interrupted, you've got to press the button to turn it on again. I'd prefer a slide or rocker switch for always on if powered.

2. The cigarette adapter didn't stay securely plugged into either receptacle on my Dodge 2500 truck. The slightest touch interrupted power and the unit shut off. Other adapters, (which have a shorter nose) worked fine. Attempted to contact the vendor using their contact WWW page to see if there was an alternate adapter.

No response. I've since returned the product.

"Accessible power on the road", Finally purchased an inverter to power a laptop and to recharge various battery powered devices on the road. The Xantrex was a nice small unit with enough oomph to charge batteries and run my laptop. This device fits easily in my glove box when not in use.

I have already used the device several times and have been quite happy with it.

My only complaint, I wish the cord that connects the unit to the lighter port was longer so the device could sit on the floor. Other than that minor issue, great product.

"bad item, it crapped out", Xantrex Technologies XPower Pocket Mobile Power Source 175-Watt Inverter #813-0291

I used this product for about 10 days and then it stopped working, it would overheat and making a high pitched beeping noise with no power output. I would invest in a higher quality inverter, I wish I never wasted my money.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"warning about motorola phones", The product has a USB port but it is not compatible with my Motorola phone, the phone says unauthorized power supply and disconnects.
Works with ipods but I think the Motorola expects a "smart" usb port it can talk to and this must not be one.

"Works as expected", Got this for a road trip from San Diego to LA to charge up my cellphone. It worked great at the beginning.
After one hour into driving, my cellphone started making noise indicating the power was connected/disconnected. Unplugging and replugging the charger made the symptom went away for just a brief moment. It seems like the power went on and off repeatedly. I am not sure if this was caused by the inverter or the cellphone charger, but I've never had any problem when the charger was connected to the wall directly.
As noted in other reviews, the power indicator is not bright enough to tell if the unit is on. This is especially true when driving under the hot sun. And it gets really hot when operating.


"No Airplane Adapter", Be aware that Xantrex has changed the design of the product and is a lot smaller and is not as picture. It also DOES NOT have the airline adapter as stated in the description. It now only includes a cigarette plug and a car battery clamp. So if you need this product for in airplane use, the redsigned product will not meet your needs. I was able to scavenge an airline adapter from a Xantrex inverter I had.

"Amazing product", This is a cool product, so far I don't have any problems with this. It charges my Iphone, and any other small units. I haven't tried this in a long drive yet but I'll give you guys an update when I drive from NY to TX this summer. Well, so far so good!
Cons: The only thing I notice is that you can't really tell if it's "on" since the "ON" button's light is unnoticeable, it is just useless unless you try to wrap your hands around it to dim the area. BUt I still would recommend it to anyone I know!

"Not what we expected.", The power inverter we received was labeled with the name and model number of the one in the picture but did not look like the one in the picture (which is one we had before, loved, and used until it wore out over several years of much use). This must be a newer, updated model that we received but it is not very powerful, and the power cuts in and out, it gets hot to the touch in just a few minutes of (proper) use and is not worth the money. Keep shopping!!
