Decent inverter, but ...,
By Running Man (Michigan) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Xantrex Technologies 813-0281 XPower 100 Watt Inverter (Lawn & Patio)
Pros: very compact and portable; able to usually power my HP laptop; long'ish power cord; easy to use.
Cons: 1) It has a little cooling fan that is slightly noisy and runs almost continuously. Highway road noise mostly masks the noise. 2) Sometimes the inverter would blink a red light and temporarily suspend power output. Maybe it was too hot powering my HP laptop. According to kill-o-watt, my laptop usually draws only about 25 watts, or about 40 watts when also recharging the battery. 3) It sometimes smells a little bit like burnt plastic. Overall, I am satisfied with this inverter for the money spent. If I had to buy another, I'd probably get something with a little more power. However, my Honda Civic has a limit of 120 watts for DC accessories. The 175 watt inverter I used to have blew the fuse. Check your auto owner's manual for the power limit before you buy.

Beware!!! What you see may not be what you get!,
By Bottom Dollar (Alaska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Xantrex Technologies 813-0281 XPower 100 Watt Inverter (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased a Xantrex Pocket Powerpack 100 which consisted of a battery pack and an inverter for $69.99 from Amazon in November 2006. You could also buy a Xantrex Pocket Inverter 100 which is probably the identical inverter with a cord and lighter plug. Amazon sells this now directly for $25.58. Looking at the picture above you can read Pocket Inverter 100. The base unit is the battery pack for the Pocket Powerpack 100. Looks like someone removed the power cord from the Pocket Inverter 100, plopped it down on the battery pack and took a picture. The description of the item under Technical Details is correct.
The inverter runs hot, but it works well. At least this is true using the battery pack (the one you may not get).

I plugged the inverter in to my cigaretter lighter and it did not provide any power to my laptop. I definitely don't recommend this product.
