Xantrex Technologies 851-0178 XPower 175-Watt Micro Inverter

in our family, everyone has a different style cell phone, so every two years when we got new phones, it meant buying a new car charger for each phone... well, no more! we decided to just buy an inverter for each car, and that way we can just plug in the charger that is included with each phone, we'll never buy another cell phone car charger again!! and we'll be all set to plug in laptops and digital camera batteries also when we go on trips! great little item, no dangling wires, only drawback is the fan noise, which is easily overcome by radio/cd playing in the car.

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.

This converter is a little bulky at the tip. The device works great and has been very helpful when using my laptop and handheld GPS device.

This inverter worked very well for an 11 hour journey while powering a laptop for music enjoyment. The fan in the unit was a little loud, but it was drowned out by the music of course. I would recommend this product to others.

The device is very good for notebooks and other small divices. For me, I am using for buffering(waxing the car) and it is working super. It is totally worth it.
