Rated 5 out of 5 bySean from It works!Love it! Was looking for an affordable charging option for my laptop. I came across this unit at an industrial supply store in Hope, BC. I have a 1500W pure sine inverter for an induction cooktop I also want to install.Ideally, I would just have a direct DC-DC converter for my laptop.

Rated 5 out of 5 byMichael from The best inverter on the market, period.Use this weekly since 2005, after years of almost daily use, it was time to purchase a new one. But don't worry the 2005 model is just getting a new power cord.

Rated 5 out of 5 byProgressiveBob from Absolutely excellent quality purpose-built inverter for those smaller jobsI use this inverter to power a small "boom-box" entertainment unit by Sony which only can use batteries or AC current. It can play AM/FM stereo radio, cassette, CD and has a aux input for a music player. The current draw is small and well within the PV150 specs. It rarely if ever gets the slightest bit warm to the touch during use. Has never run down the car's battery even leaving it on over several days. It, like virtually all other, Tripp-Lite products, are excellent, durable, well-designed and reliable.

Rated 5 out of 5 byCatman from Sleek, Lightweight, DependableThis unit is superb in every way. We use this to power a laptop or charge our batteries for impact drivers. The unit is super light weight and allows traveling with this a breeze. The dependability is top notch. Always carry extra fuses in case your device pulls more power than the unit puts out.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJohn from The 150W PowerVerter exactly fits my needs to power my CPAPI bought the 150W PowerVerter Ultra-Compact Car Inverter to run my CPAP (breathing machine) while I am camping, and in case our power goes out at the house. It works perfectly for my needs. Other inverters that I've used are larger, bulkier and also have a noisy fan that runs whenever they were connected and turned on. This inverter is very compact and runs silently (no fan). My CPAP is rated at 90W so the inverter has plenty of power for what I need.

Rated 5 out of 5 byIrv from My Power InverterI haven't had the opportunity to use my power inverter, yet. I store it in my mini RV/conversion van. It gives me so much peace of mind to know that I can power my CPAP if I can't find a plug in.

Rated 5 out of 5 byGregoryd from Does what it is designed for!I purchased this product for running/recharging my laptop in mobile situations. It does the job very well for a standard laptop battery. It doesn't work well for fully depleted, extended life batteries, as the draw is beyond its design specs. The safeties work as designed, though!. Good job.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJamaican55 from Excellent ProductThe inverter is durable and well made. It stays fairly cool especially under extended use (long drives). It has enough power to supply many of the devices I or my friends and family use in the car (laptops etc). Worth every cent I paid and look forward to doing business with Tripplite again!.

Now, I can go fishing and take my treatments when needed because of this unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 bydodgetech from Easy to use and puts out good powerthis unit put out enough power for most items that we use when traveling. If you want to benifit from the "Peak" power,you need to ose the cable that clamps onto 12V battery directly.

Rated 5 out of 5 byMarket Man from Works well for my needsI use this to keep my tablet or laptop charged while on the road. It has served my needs thus far.
