 Great Item October 22, 2009
laksh
Item looks as given in amazon site. It works fine with notebook charging and other of general appliances. I tried charging two types of laptops - Compaq Pesario and Thinkpad T61. Only problem I see (rather hear) is sound of cooling fan inside this inverter which is high and even dominates your car AC fan at max. Point to tell here is I used in my 2007 Accord v6.
Hint: Check your car power system specs before you buy this product. Checking this helps you to buy a right product.
Zantrex inverter It works and costs little October 11, 2009
G. Oslapas (Newport Harbor)
This nifty little converter is supplying power and charging both a macbook and toshiba satellite. I don't know why I am reading stories about needing a special inverter for mac when this inexpensive item works well. We are using it on board our boat. As we have soalr trickle power to keep the battery topped off, there is no problem (yet) of battery drainage. This was a cheap alternate to the $200 alternate offered elsewhere.

I bought this product to safe money in car charger. The only disavantage is that this product is a little noisy.
Perfect for what we needed October 4, 2009

The wife and I needed to plug in our laptop computer for the long ride to CO. This item worked perfectly. You can hear the fan, but it is not distracting or annoying. Locate the power outlet in your car to make sure this product will fit (the power outlet in our car is at a weird angle, tucked in the console and so this product barley fit, but we made it work!). I would recommend!
 did not last Xantrex Technologies 851-0178 XPower 175-Watt Micro Inverter September 29, 2009
Silvia M. Artavia (Bethesda, MD USA)
The two or three times I used this in the car to charge a cell phone, it worked very good. It was noisy but I did not think that the noise was a problem. The problem was that the third or fourth time I plugged the cell phone charger in it, a fuse of the car burned and the Xantrex Technologies 851-0178 XPower 175-Watt Micro Inverter did not work any more, in that car, or in any other car. It just burned too.
