 Bad Experience August 13, 2008
The cooling fan was making noise on initial use. After a few hours of use the cooling fan stopped working causing the unit to overheat. It could have been an isolated occurance. I sent it in for exchange. Otherwise it's a nice design.
 Great on a trip August 8, 2008
I used this product on a long road trip to charge a laptop, digital camera, electric toothbrush, cell phones. Only drawback is the fan - not real noisy on the highway but will be loud parked. But, it is very convenient.
Works Great July 15, 2008
This item works great. I used it to power my laptop on long distance drive and I had no problems with it. Some people complain about fan noise. It blends in with the road noise from driving just fine. If you listen for it, you'll definitely hear it, but you eventually forget it's there.
Xantrex Technologies XPower Micro 175-Watt Inverter #851-0178 June 28, 2008
We purchased this so we could use our laptops on the trip to Disney and back. It worked just fine- cord was long enough that it even reached the back seat of the mini-van. Had no trouble at all. Part that sticks out from your lighter space a little bulky, but other than that wouldn't change anything.
 Great product, expect fan noise June 5, 2008
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.
