Did Not Work After 2 Uses - A. Kuroiwa, Oct 08, 2009

We purchased this product to provide power for our lights at a small event booth. We were using basic construction lamps with energy saving bulbs. It worked great at the first event and then at our second, and most important event, it crapped out. It would work for a few seconds and then stop providing power and made an odd hissing sound. I would not recommend this as an alternative power source for appliances or lights. I'm looking into (UPS)/ power supply for computers.

Works Better Than Expected - Recommended - CFH, Sep 20, 2009

The XPower 400+ is a great little emergancy power source. This handy unit comes with jumper cables that are carried in plastic case and connect easily to the main unit via a modular plug to ensure proper hook up. In addition, it has a standard 12v DC plug for car accessories and two 110v AC plugs for running lights or very small appliances (this drains the battery fast). The air pump is fairly weak and I'm not sure how well it would work on our car tires, but we have used it to inflate bike tires.

We used the AC plugs to run lights at a booth in an outdoor craft show and was very pleased with the 4 hours or so we were able get out of it. We keep one in the car and bought a second one to keep in our house since we have frequent power outages.

Highly Recommended!

Satisfied but thought the battery would run longer - Patrick Dillon, Sep 16, 2009

I am very pleased with this product so far. I used it daily for about a week. I kept my cell phone charged and powered my lap top while camping. I thought I'd be able to run my lap top longer than it did but it could also be the lap top sucking power to charge it's own dead batteries. Recharge time was better than expected.

Xpower pack - S. J. Campbell, Sep 11, 2009

Very nice unit and works as promised so far. Unsure how long battery will last before needing replacement but excellent product so far and works as described.
