Customer Review: Works Perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
Works as advertised and it's cheaper with more watts available than most units at most retailers. Be aware this unit it truly only a 150w model not 175w, it can only maintain 175w for short periods of time! Yes the fan makes noise I'd rather have a cool unit with a fan than a hot one without the fan! Yes you might notice the fan if you drive a luxury car and don't have the stereo on but I don't so the road nose drowns out most of the sounds from the fan.Customer Review: Works perfectly
Summary: 5 Stars
Have owned for over a year and this unit continues to function perfectly in my Honda Civic. I use it to power my laptop, which draws about 80 watts when under load, as well as power small items when on long road trips. Yes, this converter will make some fan noise (that can be easily drowned out by turning up the radio a bit), but honestly for the price and quality ... who cares. This is a great product, and I would recommend it to anyone.Customer Review: Zantrex inverter It works and costs little
Summary: 5 Stars
This nifty little converter is supplying power and charging both a macbook and toshiba satellite. I don't know why I am reading stories about needing a special inverter for mac when this inexpensive item works well. We are using it on board our boat. As we have soalr trickle power to keep the battery topped off, there is no problem (yet) of battery drainage. This was a cheap alternate to the $200 alternate offered elsewhere.Customer Review: Works exactly as it should!

I purchased this 175 watt inverter in early June to use in my car for powering my netbook while "on the road" over the summer. I have used it 3 times and it works perfectly. It is not very noisy and does not get very hot - fits my Honda's lighter fine. I think it is a worthwhile accessory if you need a way to power a notebook or somerthing similar. It is much cheaper than the car chargers sold for computers!Customer Review: Works great on plane!
Summary: 5 Stars
I fly American Airlines coast to coast. Most American planes have DC outlets under the seats. I was able to plug the converter in the DC socket, plug my computer into the AC outlet and work and use the internet service without running out of battery power....Highly recommend for this application. Just make sure you purchase the correct wattage rating. I use a Dell laptop and the 175Watt rating worked well.
