Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Harness your vehicle's battery to efficiently power your office or entertainment equipment while you're on the road. The Tripp Lite PV375 supplies up to 375 watts of continuous 120V AC power to two AC outlets from any 12V battery or automotive DC source. The unit offers a convenient cigarette-lighter DC input jack with three-foot cable. Portable and compact, the inverter's design is among the most rugged available thanks to its lightweight metal casing. A low-battery alarm with auto-shutoff preserves vehicle battery, while an equally handy overload alarm with auto-shutoff prevents wattage overload. A user-replaceable fuse further protects the inverter from overload. A lighted power switch signals status. The PV375's power rating make sit ideal for not only laptop computers, but also portable electronics, battery chargers for cell phones, pagers, notepads, game systems, personal printers and battery rechargers for small battery-operated power tools, portable TV-VCR-stereo systems, camcorders, lighting, and other applications under 375 watts.

Customer Reviews
Tripp Lite PV375
It works well and came just as was advertised. The only negative I have is that the fan is extremely noisy. You almost have to cover it up with blankets to drown out the sound which of course keeps heat from dissipating from it which means you need a noisy fan which means ....
My brother has a Monster brand and his doesn't make all that noise. I went with Tripp Lite because of the name and historical quality but if another name brand has a product that has the same features, is just as good and quieter, then I'd go for the other brand. This machine is really noisy.

Tripp Lite Power Inverter
The Tripp Lite PV375 375-Watt Power Inverter is typical of a Tripp lite product. Good build quality, esthetically pleasing, and delivers as specified. I like the compact size in relationship to the power output.
Some reviewers complain about the cooling fan noise but I have not found it to be a problem. In fact hearing it lets me know my investment is being cooled and protected. I can see how it would be a problem if you wanted to sleep behind the wheel.

Holds up well
I am a truck driver and purchased this three years ago. I have used it four or five days a week, six or eight hours per day, on average to use a heating pad on my back, run a large boom box to play cassette tapes, recharge cell phones and PDAs at various times. The fan noise that others mention was never a problem because the truck is quite loud, but I never had trouble with overheating or overloading like I did with smaller inverters with no fan. This is a real workhorse, one of the best gadgets I ever purchased for use at work.

Good, Could be Better
Inverter is good value for the price. However, I when I plugged my laptop into it for power, it generated enough interference to wreak havoc with my touchpad positioning and clicking.

Tripp Lite PV375
I haven't used it a lot yet but purchased it for vacation so my son could run his XBox and TV Monitor to play games. I have tried it charging my video camera on the road and couple of other electrical items and it works great.
