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

By A Customer

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too noisy, November 29, 2004

By	Matt Smith (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews

I got this inverter because it is compact, has a good power rating, and has two outlets. Unfortunately, I had to stop using it, because it is just too noisy to use in my car.

I preferred the APC Air/Auto DC to AC Power Inverter, which is fanless and silent. That one only has a single outlet and only supplies 75w, but it's enough to run my laptop.

In a different environment, I could see this being an excellent choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small, well-built and extremely quiet., August 2, 2006

By	S. Chase (Qatar) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
