Review on ๐ŸŸก Go Power! GP-175 175-Watt Modified Sine Wave Inverter: Reliable and Efficient Power Solution in Vibrant Yellow by Jayson Sharma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable, small, handy, low idle power consumption, NO fan!

Came in retail packaging. This is a one-piece device, with no accessories and a 12-page half-page instruction manual. Don't worry about loose parts, the plug is firmly attached and plugs directly into the cigarette adapter. I like the compact size and feel of this device. The cord is about the right length for me, between the connector and the block of 27 inch wire. It reaches the passenger seat perfectly from the console (although I mostly leave it behind). Mine works and produces modified AC power that works great with my devices. This is my fourth inverter that I bought because I was looking for a model that has NO fan and has low no load consumption so it doesn't use up my portable battery as part of a stand alone camping kit. .I'm happy to report that I don't need to buy any more devices as this model does exactly what I was looking for. It delivers the AC power I need with little overhead, about 2.1W on average, compared to 3.2+W on the Bestek 300W model. I have looked at BESTEK 300W Charger, DC Inverter, 12-110V DC Car Adapter, USB Car Charger, Samsung Car Adapter, PDA Car Charger, HTC Car Charger, LG Car Charger, Car MP3. Adapter car charger iPhone car adapter Motolor car charger iPad car adapter Blackberry laptop charger. . This 175W GoPower box has a slightly lower total output of 175W, which increases to 210W. With lower overall performance, it does not require a fan and has the added benefit of lower idle current draw. This is a device that I can turn on and off in my car knowing it won't drain the main battery. I can also use it in my solar powered camping kit knowing it won't drain my smaller camping battery. I look forward to having this on our next hike. If your primary use is in a running car you can buy larger output units with fans and have no problems, but if you're concerned about the backup power situation you want your inverter to be as efficient as possible and this model matches mine Requirements. In the video I compare and test Bestek and GoPower side by side. 5 stars for providing the fanless performance I need with low idle power consumption.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
