We bought this item so that we could use our laptop in the car and also to be able to plug in more items in our RV. I like that it has two outlets.
Some people have said it was "loud" but I didn't understand that at all. Yes, there is a quiet "whirring" sound from the fan, but if you're driving down a highway or have the radio on low, you'd never hear the fan.
I think it was a good purchase. Worth the money and I'd recommend it to a friend.

This Belkin inverter is much louder than the 140 watt inverter (which is difficult to hear at all). You can easily drowned out the noise with your radio but the pitch was a little too high for me.
The 300 watt unit is only a little bigger with a second outlet than the 140 watt inverter. It comes with an automotive type fuse (30 amp) which does seem to be very useful if your car lighter fuse is 10 or 15 amp.

I purchased the Belkin AC power converter for my cross country trip from california to virginia. I am half way done with the trip and the power converter has worked extremely well. I am able to work on my laptop while my wife drives and the kids watch their portable dvd player in the back. This was a great purchase and I am also able to save by not having to purchase separate car chargers for my cell phones, they just plug into the power converter.

I have had this unit for over a year and am very pleased. I use it for my laptop and Direct TV while we travel. I must be getting deaf because I do not notice any loud noise. You have to darn near have your ear close to it just to hear the fan running. This inverter has not given me any problems what so ever. I would have to guess that I have between 250 and 300 hours on this unit using both receptacles at the same time. I like it.

Worked great for me on a recent trip to Florida. Only used one of the two outlets to recharge my laptop computer battery. Fast and efficient recharge--way cheaper than buying an extra battery and performed flawlessly. Some reviewers thought it was loud, but I could barely hear any noise at all, just a very low fan noise, which is necessary to cool the inverter. Excellent supplier through Amazon--received fast and in perfect condition. Product does everything it's supposed to.

Bought Belkin F5C400-300W 2 Outlet Dc/Ac Inverter and it was the best buy. I have used it on road trips for my kids computers, hand held games, my Curling iron (no I wasn't driving)but was great when I was running out of time and needed to do my hair on the way), a crock pot for potlucks (we wanted to keep the food hot on the way to the party), Cell Phone charging (my son does not have a car charger), etc. The thing as you can tell has come in handy for many things as you can see. It has been such a great item I am purchasing another for my Mom. There are some reviews that say it is noisy but I am not sure which one they are referring to. The one I have listed above is very quiet. It is hard to hear the slight hum of the fan which keeps it cool. I have had it on with no radio on and you can hardly hear it. It is a wonderful inexpensive product, a great gift for the person hard to buy for. I am quite certain they will love it.

vibrates and hums a bit, but isn't obnoxious. Powers my MacBook Pro4 with no problems whatsoever. We intend to ocassionally use it with 2 laptops, but haven't tested that yet.

Make sure you realize it has an on and off switch for the power. Our old one didn't have an off switch, and it took me a good 15 minutes of stupidity to figure out why it wasn't working.

feels and looks sturdy and solid.

This is a useful product fro travel in the car and the airplane. Please note that it will not work with two laptops attached to the sockets. i guess they suck too much power.

Has handled every ounce of wattage i've thrown at it, fan is a little noisy but tolerable given the solid performance.

Having two outlets is very nice. In this age of USB equipment, it would have been nice to have that option. A little noisy, but not noticeable if you are playing a movie.
