Tripp Lite PV375 PV 375W 12V DC to AC Portable Inverter with DC Auto Power Outlet

A low-battery alarm with auto-shutoff preserves vehicle battery, while an equally handy overload alarm with auto-shutoff prevents wattage overload. A user-replaceable fuse further protects the inverter from overload. A lighted power switch signals status.

The PV375's power rating make sit ideal for not only laptop computers, but also portable electronics, battery chargers for cell phones, pagers, notepads, game systems, personal printers and battery rechargers for small battery-operated power tools, portable TV-VCR-stereo systems, camcorders, lighting, and other applications under 375 watts.

Product Description
Harness your vehicle's battery to efficiently power office equipment on the road. Continuously supplies up to 375 watts of 120V AC power to 2 AC outlets from any 12V battery or automotive DC source.

My only complaint is its kind of noisy with the fan on, but you cant hear it anymore when the radio is on.

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.

I am a truck driver and purchased this three years ago. I have used it four or five days a week, six or eight hours per day, on average to use a heating pad on my back, run a large boom box to play cassette tapes, recharge cell phones and PDAs at various times. The fan noise that others mention was never a problem because the truck is quite loud, but I never had trouble with overheating or overloading like I did with smaller inverters with no fan. This is a real workhorse, one of the best gadgets I ever purchased for use at work.

I've owned my Tripp Lite Power Inverter for over 5 years now and it still works like a charm. The fan is a bit noisy, but you normally won't hear it while traveling or simply by having the radio on. The low battery warning is crucial as it prevents you from draining the battery beyond the point of needing jumper cables. I've never tried any of the other power inverters, but there has been no need as this satisfies every need.

The Tripp Lite PV375 375-Watt Power Inverter is typical of a Tripp lite product. Good build quality, esthetically pleasing, and delivers as specified. I like the compact size in relationship to the power output.

Some reviewers complain about the cooling fan noise but I have not found it to be a problem. In fact hearing it lets me know my investment is being cooled and protected. I can see how it would be a problem if you wanted to sleep behind the wheel.
