powers my color tv at race weekends. [Posted on 2008-05-06]
I couldn't quite swing 1k for a honda generator, not yet anyway. This little guy powers my laptop and color TV for a few hours every night before bed at the race track. I race spec miata so i use it for a lot of utility things around the track, lights, small appliances, etc.
Couple things it does well:
color tv as i mentioned
laptop
small fan
radio
jumpstarts my crappy daily driver.
things it wont do:
coffee maker
personal heater
big halogen lights
its no generator but it does do a lot of the activities i need. Id buy it again. i dropped it and cracked the case and it still works nicely. pretty durable!
FULLTIME RVER'S MUST-HAVES! [Posted on 2008-05-23]
2 years ago we became fulltime RVers. Our first were 4 Xantrex Powerpack 400W. We use for an evening of TV and Computer rather than use the limited house power. However after after many uses, the power/time diminishes. We then bought 4 Xantrex Powerpack 600W. Great product for our needs! With both models, we have jumpstarted other's vehicles. Cannot speak to the radio, but both models function well for power. We recharge on shore power in a building (usually overnight) and from the truck cab while traveling (about 4-6 hours). Quite heavy to lug around, but hopefully, Xantrex will make more power, less weight in the near future!
nice when it worked [Posted on 2008-06-26]
worked great the 3 times I used it but after a week long trip it refused to recharge so now a great paperweight but very pricy for the 3 times I used it
sadly it just out of warrety
Recent purchaser of Xantrex [Posted on 2008-10-22]
It was easy to order this product online and it arrived when promised.Though we haven't needed to use the Xantrex 600 yet, we did charge it tested just fine with my small electric coffee pot. When the power was out because of Ike, that is what I missed most! WE are going to also order a 1500 because 10 days without power will use up 600 watts in no time. It powers our fan also.
I'll think twice about buying Xantrex again. [Posted on 2008-10-29]
I used my 600HD only a few times before the display stopped working. It was never subjected to water or anything out of the ordinary.
The foreigner I just got off the phone with tells me there is no way to fix this.
I'm sorry, but why would Xantrex sell high tech products that cannot be repaired?
