 Awesome inverter August 6, 2007

I would have given 4 stars but it wouldn't be fair. The reason i wanted to give 4 stars is that while placing this item between driver's and passenger seat, it is a little inconvenient to connect the inverter to the 12v DC. But other than it's an awesome product. One of the trips, I didn't have a car charger for the nintendo DS, and forgot to bring my car charger for my mobile. But i had the power adapters for both and plugged right into this inverter. This inverter charged both at the same time without any overload issue, and my mobile was always completed charged with this turned on. If you are on the road most of the time or like to do camping, go for the 400W rather than the lesser priced 200W.
Read the instructions! August 5, 2007

This unit, and the 700 watt unit, clearly state in the instructions that th only way to get those wattages from them is by connecting them directly to the battery. That's why they provide the clamps for when you're camping or such. The wires and fuse for the lighter socket cannot handle that kind of current. It's perfect for a laptop, but trying to do much more than that will blow your fuse and you'll probably blame the inverter. This is a great little unit, but I only wish that it had an aux lighter socket on it so I can use my radar detector (maybe I should just obey the speed limit, some of those radars out there are too good for even my highest rated detector).

I bought XPower because it was a good deal. We took a trip recently and plugged in our laptop, so the kids could watch a movie. The power would constantly cut off after only a couple minutes of use. We figured out that we could hold the XPower at a certain angle at it would work most of the time. Unfortunately we are past the 30 day period to return it. Maybe we just got a bad one? I would definitely recommend to try it out before the 30 day period.

I haven't used this on a long trip or anything just tested to see if it works and it does. i like how the fan only kicks on when u use power. so even if the inverter is on, the fan only turns on when u draw power. ill update once I've got more time using it.
A plus is that it comes with both battery clips and cig lighter plug.

Works great, low humming sound, went unnoticed when the vehicle was running. Too much power for the cell phones, that was disappointing, but otherwise did a fine job for the laptop.
