Customer Reviews for 'Xantrex Technologies 851-0178 XPower 175-Watt Micro Inverter'
In my 1992 Honda, the fan noise isn't even audible.
I bought this product for a 2,137 mile road trip. It powered my iPod dock (since the car's ancient stereo doesn't really work). The thing is sort of big and ugly, but here's the bottom line--it worked without any trouble. It didn't even get warm. If I had it to do over, I would definitely buy this gadget again.
Buy at your own risk!
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.
Works great, but buzzes when used to power a device that's plugged into the car audio system
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.
Great product
Have used it several times for different purposes and it works flawlessly. After looking at other inverters, I started to buy a cheaper one, but glad I spent the extra five bucks for this one.
Works perfectly
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.
