More Power! [Posted on 2008-02-18]
I had purchased a 400 watt portable power device (same manufacturer; Xantrex) about a year previous and was very pleased at its ability to power a fan and lamp for several hours during power failures. Then I started thinking about keeeping a fridge going during a summer power failure (we live in the woods; trees fall, lines snap)and found this bad boy on sale. It arrived double boxed--the store box nestled inside a shipping box with custom made foam dividers--in perfect shape. It was also fully charged. I've only used it for a few tests to see if it worked, and it functions well. The hand truck that supports it and makes it easy to move around is very well made (excellent tires!) and was easy to assemble. The charging unit is itself a pretty high end device that can be used to recharge a dead car battery! I like the freedom and security this gives us, the price was right, it looks pretty cool and it should have all the power we need to keep things going while the guys in the trucks get the power back up.
Silent power, great stuff [Posted on 2008-03-06]
I used this thing for powering up some lights on an independent film and it worked out great. Four hours of non-stop filming and it still had enough juice to jump start my brothers car. I can't say enough good things about this inverter.
Updated Specs [Posted on 2008-03-24]
Xantrex has changed the battery capacity of the Xantrex XPower Powerpack 1500. The unit delivered to me now has 51 AH (Amp Hour)'s of battery storage instead of the 60 AH listed in the Amazon product description or 63 AH listed in the downloadable product manual. The smaller battery capacity will shorten the charge time but will also shorten the time things will run when plugged into the unit.
Also note that the inverters output is 1350 watts continuous, 1500 watts burst for 10 minutes and 3000 watts maximum AC surge.
Ready when I need it [Posted on 2008-04-29]
I like this product because we get a lot of power outages in Southfield, Michigan. Our power pack is ready when we need it and it doesn't annoy the neighbors (or us) with loud obnoxious noise and fumes. We even bought a second one. Someday we'll step up to the solar charger kit that goes with it. Amazon also had the best price anywhere.
List price is $369, not $449 [Posted on 2008-06-03]
Amazon lies, the list price is almost $100 less than they advertise on here. This unit is great if you take care of it (ie DO NOT GET IT WET) and use an automatic transfer switch (if you are using it for sump pump backup).
