Customer Review: Works Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this product from Amazon and it arrived on time. This inverter plugs into the cigarette lighter and the insert is adjustable so it will fit any size lighter. When it is plugged in, the fan starts to run, which is almost silent.
The main reason I bought this product was to replace those expensive cell phone chargers that never work whenever you change phones. I also use it whenever I have my laptop with me. So far it works great for both and I would highly recommend this product. Works as advertised!
Customer Review: Buy at your own risk!
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't say about the durability because I can't get it to make anything work. I have tried using the suction machine with it~no power. It whirs and the little fan runs but what I needed it for didn't work. It might run a laptop or a video~I don't know I haven't tried that cause that wasn't what I bought it for. It is just layin in my back seat and I figure when I have my next yardsale it will be in it. But I'll have to make sure they try it on what they want to power first~cause I sure ain't giving them no guarantee.Customer Review: Convenience during travel...stay connected
Summary: 5 Stars
We used this inverter while traveling on vacation by car. We were able to power up and stay connected to our laptop computer. Great convenience to be able to check for hotels and area attractions without having to leave the car. I would highly recommend this Xantrex Micro 175w inverter. Never heated up. Noise was minimal. Not one complaint to report. We used it, literally, for hours and hours at a time. Even charged up our cell phone by plugging the wall charger into this inverter while in the car. I love it!Customer Review: Works great, but buzzes when used to power a device that's plugged into the car audio system
Summary: 4 Stars
Works great and behaves as advertised. Everyone seems to be complaining about the fan noise but it's honestly not too bad. You can hear it when the car is parked or moving slowly, but the moment you drive faster than 30 or so it'll fade into the background. One complaint I have is that when I plug an iPod, iPhone, or any other audio-outputting device into this thing and then hook the iPod up to my Jetta's audio system via a 1/8 mini jack, a buzzing sound is introduced to the audio. It's very irritating.Customer Review: I won't trust anything else
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought my first laptop 6 years ago. This is the inverter that came with it. This thing works great! I have run my laptop for 10 hours strait and never had a problem. There have been times I've forgotten my inverter and had to go buy one from a store. I've been through several different makes and models, spent up to $50.00, and none of them lasted a week. After six years, and hundreds if not thousands of hours of use, my coil finally went out on my $25.00 XPower. And I'm buying another one!
