5.0 out of 5 stars Great Inverter, February 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Tripp Lite PV375 PV 375W 12V DC to AC Portable Inverter with DC Auto Power Outlet (Electronics)

This is probably one of the best out there. IT has a user replacable fuse, two outlets, overload & underload indicators and is fairly powerful.

My only complaint is its kind of noisy with the fan on, but you cant hear it anymore when the radio is on.

This review is from: Tripp Lite PV375 PV 375W 12V DC to AC Portable Inverter with DC Auto Power Outlet (Electronics)

I am a truck driver and purchased this three years ago. I have used it four or five days a week, six or eight hours per day, on average to use a heating pad on my back, run a large boom box to play cassette tapes, recharge cell phones and PDAs at various times. The fan noise that others mention was never a problem because the truck is quite loud, but I never had trouble with overheating or overloading like I did with smaller inverters with no fan. This is a real workhorse, one of the best gadgets I ever purchased for use at work.

Excellent design! After much research, I purchased this item and have used it extensively for the past couple months. So far, nothing negative to report. Many reviews commented on how loud the fan was but I barely heard it at all. Nor did it get too warm. It's pretty basic mechanically, so I assume it's as dependable as any other inverter. If you're not sure what size to get, always be on the safe side and GO LARGE! Tripp Lite makes them in various sizes.
