CyberPower CPS150CHI AC Mobile Power Inverter/Converter, 12VDC to 120VAC, 150W, Cup-Mount Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned this device for over a year and it's great. Use it for laptops and cell phone chargers with no problems. Stays much cooler than our previous inverter.
Update 6/2009: Bummer. It burned up. Plugged it in one day and within seconds smoke was pouring out. Had to throw it out of the car and let it cool off before sending it to the electronics recycler. Scary. Amazon won't let me change the rating, but generally I would give burning electronic devices no more than one star.

Tripp Lite PV-700HF Portable and Compact 12-Volt 700-Watt DC to AC Power Inverter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It comes without cables, luckily I had the ones from my old inverter (a Vector that died), but I would have been annoyed otherwise. They ask you to put a fuse in the line which is a good idea, but it's hard to find fuse holders of that size easily.
The cables are attached with Allen screws rather than ring and post connectors, so that is a downside as well. You really don't want to leave them attached lest they bump into something and break the connector and you have to have a wrench to attach them which is a bit of a bother if you lose the it.
And as others pointed out, it is noisy, but that's kind of the nature of these things. My Vectors were quieter, but both of them died after almost no use, so there you have that.

TRIPPLITE PowerVerter 375 DC to AC Power Inverter 230 Volts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Este producto es grandioso, genera muy poco calor, de hecho es imperceptible el calor y el ruido del ventilador. Lo puedes dejar sobre el asiento del automóvil y donde le de el sol, la unica recomendacion seria no cerrar la puerta del automovil. Es muy practico porque generalmente los picnic o las carnes asadas al aire libre se prolongan hasta la noche, es cuando puedes ir preparado con este inversor y extensiones con lamparas normales de 120 V, una grabadora con CD, licuadora, ventilador, lo que se te ocurra y pasar un dia o velada inolvidable con música, luz y todas las comodidades, alejado del bullicio...

CyberPower CPS150BI AC Mobile Power Inverter/Converter, 12VDC to 120VAC, 150W, Bottle Mount Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this product with the intention of using it for charging my laptop while on the road. According to the product's spec sheet, it is rated to supply 140-watts of continuous power (and 150-watts peak) and it is marketed as being a suitable power supply for laptops. Unfortunately, when I plugged my laptop (which uses a 90-watt charger) in to the unit it would overload and trip the surge protection after a few seconds. I was thoroughly unamused.
Additionally, I found this nugget from a review on Newegg:
"The problem with this unit is that neither the hot or the neutral plug on the unit are referenced to ground. In other words, the neutral actually has a potential of 60v above ground. This can lead to some shocking situations. The ground leg of the inverter is just a dummy hole -- there is no actual ground.
In layman's terms, the electrical design of this unit is very poor and would never achieve household electrical standards. I can't figure out how they are allowed to manufacture and sell this unit especially when they advertise it for use with laptops."
And upon further inspection, I can confirm that this is accurate, which could possibly be the reason why my laptop charger overloads the unit despite the fact that the unit is supposed to be able to supply 140-watts continuously.
This unit does seem to work well for small electronic devices, but I cannot recommend this unit for any electrical device that draws much power or uses a 3-prong connector.

Belkin F5C400-300W 2 Outlet Dc/Ac Inverter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This Belkin inverter is much louder than the 140 watt inverter (which is difficult to hear at all). You can easily drowned out the noise with your radio but the pitch was a little too high for me.
The 300 watt unit is only a little bigger with a second outlet than the 140 watt inverter. It comes with an automotive type fuse (30 amp) which does seem to be very useful if your car lighter fuse is 10 or 15 amp.

Thanks to the AC Anywhere Power Inverter from Belkin, running out of power is an event of the past. This unit simply plugs into any standard, 12-volt DC vehicle cigarette lighter socket to convert your vehicle's battery power to 110-volt AC (common household current). It also features two AC outlets, an automatic overheat shut-off at 150F, low-battery alarm at 10.6V and automatic shut-off feature at 10.6V. Now you can keep laptop computers, PDAs, and AC appliances powered and operational wherever you go.What's in the Box Power inverter and replaceable fuse.

Tripp Lite PV150 PV 150W 12V DC to AC Portable Inverter with DC Auto Power Outlet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Seems to work just fine -- have only used it for cell phone and small game units. The advantage of this smaller unit is no fan - quiet. Some devices will require the power of the larger (noisy fan) model. Low cost inverters such as this produce electric power that is an approximate sine wave as opposed the perfect sine wave that come out of a wall outlet -- as far I know this isn't a problem for typical consumer electronic equipment, laptops etc -- but it's probably worth checking the user manual of the device to be powered just to make sure there are no precautions about using it with an inverter. However, the AC motors in things like power tools and appliances may run a bit lest efficiently when connected to an (inexpensive) inverter.
*** Update ***
We've used this with a variety of cell phone/ipod/handheld game chargers and so far haven't experienced any problems.
