Review(s)


Very Useful (Rating: 4.00)
Review : I have found it to hold a charge very well. It is great to have a back-up when rv camping. It is also reassuring to know that when camping in remote areas that you have an emergency if your vehicle doesn't start. I consider this a good buy.

Best invention since sliced bread! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I have sleep apnea and need a machine to help me breath when I sleep. During power failures, I have had to stay up until the power came back on until I received this machine as a birthday gift. It will run my CPAP machine for more than 8 hours!

instant AC power (Rating: 5.00)
Review : If your power goes out you can live, for a while, with no lights. The operation of a sump pump is a different matter. Last year I spent 5 hours bailing a sump pump hole with a plastic pitcher. Not enjoyable. I went everywhere looking for this type of unit and spent an hour on the internet. The Xantrex 852-1840 generator seems to be a great insurance policy.

First Rate (Rating: 5.00)
Review : Loosing the power cord on the air compressor is worth the purchase price. If you ever had to fill tires on a trailer you know what I am talking about.

Invertor works well, but keep in mind 300Watts of battery power is a small bucket of power, don't try any inductive loads. I managed to burn out the invertor. Xantrax honored the warantee and replace the unit no questions asked. Refreshing change after dealing with Sony's warantee department!

Highly recommended

Good overall; takes a long time to charge (Rating: 4.00)
Review : Overall, I am pleased with this product. However, I ran into the same issues addressed by Ron Campbell in his review. Although the manual states it takes about 40 hours to recharge using the AC adapter (plus an additional 15 hours if you don't see the green light after 40 hours), it took more like 72 hours before I got the green light indicating full charge. The owner's manual states that longer charge times are indicative of less than 120 volts at the wall outlet. I find it hard to believe that my three-year-old house does not have 120 volts at the outlets, but I guess that is possible.

I bought this to use as an emergency jump-start unit and to add air to my tires after they are deflated for offroad travel. It seems to suit my needs. I would recommend this product, but be aware that the charge times may take twice as long as those stated by the manufacturer.
