 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.
Convenience during travel...stay connected April 27, 2008
We used this inverter while traveling on vacation by car. We were able to power up and stay connected to our laptop computer. Great convenience to be able to check for hotels and area attractions without having to leave the car. I would highly recommend this Xantrex Micro 175w inverter. Never heated up. Noise was minimal. Not one complaint to report. We used it, literally, for hours and hours at a time. Even charged up our cell phone by plugging the wall charger into this inverter while in the car. I love it!
amazing product March 18, 2008
I bought this item for emergency purposes. I dont check my cellphone if it is fully charged or not and I fell confident that I can use my cellphone ( including my laptop or portable DVD player) anywhere, everywhere I want it.
