Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Product Description:
The Xantrex Technologies XPower Plus 400-watt inverter provides portable power for trucks, RVs, boats, and minivans. By plugging the inverter directly into your vehicle's 12-volt cigarette lighter, you can turn your vehicle into a mobile office and operate devices such as a 27-inch TV or 20-inch TV/DVD combo, a camcorder, and a laptop computer. This compact, lightweight unit automatically senses low battery voltage so you never have to worry about a depleted battery. It's a quiet alternative to noisy, gas-powered generators; it will provide hours of emergency power during snowstorms or blackouts. The high-efficiency design transfers 90-percent of the battery's power to your equipment, providing 400 watts for 5 minutes, 600 watts surge for easy startups, and 300 watts continuous power for operating appliances. An automatic shutdown mechanism protects against overload, over-temperature and low battery conditions. The inverter is equipped with two 3-prong grounded AC outlets, a DC outlet and hardwire applications. The durable plastic unit is 5.9-by-4.1-by-2.2 inches in size and just 2.4 pounds in weight. It is covered by a 1-year warranty.

Rating: - The perfect car companion
I got the Xantrex for a family trip to Virginia, and it worked exactly as advertised. The kids ran two laptops off of it for the entire trip, and never had a problem. The cooling fan did come on once for a few minutes, and, as others have noted, the fan is audible if you listen for it, but no louder than the road noise and far from problematic. Besides, it only happened once in about 36 hours of use, and then only for about three minutes. The unit is really well made and well worth the money.

Rating: - Sufficient power works quietly
This 400 watter suits me well with its dual 3-prong AC outlets, fan equipped, aluminum body, and reasonable price.

Rating: - Great Product
I purchased this for an RV trip. We didn't want to run the loud generator while we were driving, but did want access to some electronics like TV and video games. The unit performed great. It has a toggle switch for on/off as well as an LED light to indicate its on. I don't understand the technical details of how this works, but every so often it would run h-o-t, so keep it somewhere well ventilated and away from hands/feet.

Rating: - Best kept secret
This little device can replace all of those specialty adapters for your portable game machines, cell phones, etc. When taking a trip recently my son was able to pacify himself with his laptop and gameboy while staying connected to this handly little device. With two connections you can have more than one device connected simultaneously.

It works exactly as advertised. This is a little know secret and if more widely know would replace all of those other mobile adapters that individually ... Read More

Rating: - Solid and reliable
Good, solid charger. Sometimes makes some fan noise, if my laptop starts pulling hard. No real complaints.
