5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!, August 13, 2005

This review is from: Xantrex Technologies 851-0175 XPower Plus 175-Watt Inverter (Lawn & Patio)

The 175 Power Inverter works great. I used it on a recent car trip and it powered my electronics without any problems. The description is incorrect, however, in that it only has one AC outlet (as in the photo), not two.

This review is from: Xantrex Technologies 851-0175 XPower Plus 175-Watt Inverter (Lawn & Patio)

I bought one of these on Amazon about 5 years ago and it continues to perform.

In the summer I use in on my boat to power a laptop charting application. During the rest of the year it lives in my car where I use it to power cell phone chargers, laptops, etc...

It has never failed me.

Nice unit. Small, has on-off switch, which is very useful and beats plugging and unplugging if you're charging while driving. Nice green light to show when you're charging. Sturdily made. High Watts for a good price at Amazon.
