Customer Review: Perfect for what we needed
Summary: 5 Stars
The wife and I needed to plug in our laptop computer for the long ride to CO. This item worked perfectly. You can hear the fan, but it is not distracting or annoying. Locate the power outlet in your car to make sure this product will fit (the power outlet in our car is at a weird angle, tucked in the console and so this product barley fit, but we made it work!). I would recommend!Customer Review: good buy

Bought this little thing for my Sequoia trip. Worked like it's designed for: recharged phone, played my daughter's portable DVD player. The noise is there but not bad at all.
2010 Dec update:
after 3 years of heavy usage, the cooling fan started to make more noise and it's making a funny chemical burning smell. Maybe it's time to get a new one :D!
Customer Review: Not so good Xantrex product
Summary: 2 Stars
A good price is just not good enough if it doesnt last. The transformer thinngy had broken loose from the circuit board for some reason. YOu can hear it rattle around. I dont suggest that you buy this product. This item is poorly put together. It failed after using it occasionally for 5 months. When I took it apart to look inside, it didnt look like it was made very well.Customer Review: Great product, expect fan noise

I've been using my inverter, problem-free, for several weeks. I keep it in my work bag, and use it to power a laptop when I'm on the go. I bought this after reading the reviews, so I knew to expect fan noise. It's sort of like having your car A/C on. Other than that, I can't think of anything negative to say about it. You plug it in and it works. Pretty simple.Customer Review: No complaints here!

I received this about a month ago, and it has been a life saver. I have chronic pain in my back, and car rides are awful for me. This last weekend I went to Kansas City, MO (from South Dakota) and had very little trouble on the car ride. I know it is because I was able to use my heating pad in the car! I love this produce and would recommend it to anyone.
