Tripp Lite PowerVerter 375-Watt Ultra-Compact Inverter (PV375)

Product works as advertised no problems at all. I carry this in my backpack when I travel by air for use in rental cars and I have had no problems.

Pros: Sturdy - dual outlet. 3' cord. ...Cons: Fan runs continously when powered on and is too noisy when installed in the vehicle cab. Even with the diesel engine…

Pros: Good construction handles the load indicated. However never use more then 300 watt with it. Also you can mount the thing under the hood and run an external connector to the inside like I did. Anything that will be used to operate over 175 watt should not be connected to the lighter outlet. This thing should be hard wired for max performance. I cut the plug off but not recommended for most people. It works okay for the average person.Cons: Noise from fan is a bit more then needed. You can put a different fan it but of course destroys the warranty. I put a low noise fan in that I had sitting around the office. Can hardly hear it and it actually out performs the original in air volume.Good construction handles the load indicated. However never use more then 300 watt with it.

Sometime if a battery you are charging is to low, you have to start your engine to get it to charge and leave it run for a long time.. I also have a 175 charger and i don't have a problem. It take longer to charge.

Not a perfect sine wave converter. fan is a bit noisy. other than that great product!

Pros: High power output without dedicated battery connectors. Attractive color. Two power plugs. Has it's own fuse.Cons: Fan is fairly loud (roughly equivalent to the level of highway road noise, but not enough to drown out a DVD playing or quiet talking).High power output without dedicated battery connectors. Attractive color. Two power plugs. Has it's own fuse. Fan is fairly loud (roughly equivalent to the level of highway road noise, but not enough to drown out a DVD playing or quiet talking). Note that it doesn't operate at full power (output) unless the engine is running. For example, could only power one laptop without the engine running; the minute I plugged in the second laptop, the inverter shut off until I started the car.

Pros: Good inverterCons: It works only if your car has fuses for 20Amp on the cigarette lighter. What happen with my Honda Accord - it blew up the fuses responsible for cigarette lighter 'coz in Accord they're 15Amp.
So, be careful and check your car fuses capacity first before using this one.Good inverter It works only if your car has fuses for 20Amp on the cigarette lighter. What happen with my Honda Accord - it blew up the fuses responsible for cigarette lighter 'coz in Accord they're 15Amp.

Thanks

This is a great product. We had a single outlet one and it has been misplaced so I bought this one for my husband for Christmas. I could recommend this product!

Pros: The cost was low, allows continuous output, compact, nice long cable for mounting in a vehicle, and has 2 inputs that can peak out at a high-voltage.Cons: None so farThe cost was low, allows continuous output, compact, nice long cable for mounting in a vehicle, and has 2 inputs that can peak out at a high-voltage. None so far I purchased a batch of these for employees at the company. They have laptop mounts and cellphones in their vans. This inverter mounted easily and so far have had 0 issues with it in all our vehicles.

Pros: Compact and power's many things, like my PS3, but only if you run new wire or hook it up directly to the battery.Cons: Pretty noisy. I am not sure if it's just the fan or not. I really haven't got that far with it. I bought this so I could use my PlayStation 3 in my car. Turns out that my car could not power something that high unless I run it directly from the battery. It also got pretty hot when I did that. Fan seems to be spinning at the same loud speed no matter what load it's under, if any.Compact and power's many things, like my PS3, but only if you run new wire or hook it up directly to the battery.

Right now, I haven't re-wired my vehicle to power my ps3 yet, but I will soon and I have tested it and seems to work fine.

Tripp-lite was quick to respond to my complaint and are sending a new one.

Pros: This particular inverter has some handy features, but I particularly like having two outlets.Cons: NoneThis particular inverter has some handy features, but I particularly like having two outlets. None I have not used mine extensively, just to keep my laptop going over long car trips. Therefore, I can't say anything about how well it will hold-up under heavy use.

Pros: Durable,Easy To Install,Easy To Use,VersatileThis unit is the only way to charge cell phones, run a laptop. It's not really designed to operate higher draw power tools (skil saws, drills, etc...). For that, you'll need a generator.

Pros: I bought two of these almost three years ago. I've never had any problems with them.Cons: None.I bought two of these almost three years ago. I've never had any problems with them. None.

Pros: A lil pricey but overall a great PSU.. Fired up 1st time and I cant even hear the fan running on it as I type this...Cons: Lots of cables to deal with.. Was a bit pricey..

Pros: Not sure yet.Cons: When first booted and checked with a circuit tester, the tester indicates that the unit has an open ground. Also package on arrival appeared to have been previously opened. Fan noise as reported elsewhere is loud even in my diesel sedan.Not sure yet. When first booted and checked with a circuit tester, the tester indicates that the unit has an open ground. Also package on arrival appeared to have been previously opened. Fan noise as reported elsewhere is loud even in my diesel sedan. Acceptance of unit is pending a response from TrippLite as to whether the open ground is standard operating condition.

Pros: Small, fairly quiet and stable. Powers my laptop and cell phone easily.Cons: Get's a little warm, but nothing to get worried about.Small, fairly quiet and stable. Powers my laptop and cell phone easily. Get's a little warm, but nothing to get worried about. This is the best bang for the buck. I highly reccomend it.

Pros: I recently bought this for use on a four hour roadtrip to power my laptop with GPS. And while the GPS got stuck twice, the power worked without a hitch and I never got lost.Cons: It introduced a slight speaker hum when used to power my cd player in addition to the laptop.I recently bought this for use on a four hour roadtrip to power my laptop with GPS. And while the GPS got stuck twice, the power worked without a hitch and I never got lost. It introduced a slight speaker hum when used to power my cd player in addition to the laptop. Many people mention that the cooling fan it uses is a bit loud, but you don't hear it once you get on the road, and it sounds cool when it spins down. You may also have to flip the inverter power off and back on if you only turned the car power on and not the engine.

Pros: Great brand, great price, great product. Power inverter works great. Powers my laptop with no problem. Power inverter shuts down automaticly when car battery is lowCons: Fan is a bit lound but i keep the inverter under my seat so it's not a problemGreat brand, great price, great product.

Pros: Excellent product! We finally found one that will run my laptop and charge it too. This is the fourth inverter we've had and 2 of the others were more expensive. But this is the only one that will do it and it does it well.Cons: NoneExcellent product! We finally found one that will run my laptop and charge it too.

Pros: Powerful. You can connect more than a laptop. Nice looking blue color. Wire connection to 12v doesn't interfere with essential car controls.Cons: Loud. Fans produce quite a lot of noise: louder than my 4 y.o. laptop.Powerful. You can connect more than a laptop. Nice looking blue color. Wire connection to 12v doesn't interfere with essential car controls. Loud. Fans produce quite a lot of noise: louder than my 4 y.o. laptop. 4 out of 5 for noise.

Don't waste your time with anything else. This thing charges and runs my 17" laptop without any problems. The inverters made especially for laptops are only good for about 100 watts and cost two or three times as much.

Runs my mp3 carputer great!
