Xantrex Prosine 2.0 Inverter/Charger with Remote Interface - 2000 Watts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased a Xantex Prosine 2.0 inverter-charger for my 48' sailboat in 2006. The first unit crashed frequently and finally was replaced with a new unit. It also crashed frequently and I was told by the Xantrex technical support person that it was not anything to worry about. It required disconnecting the DC cables, de-powering the unit, then reconnecting. After 2.5 boating seasons use, it crashed again this summer (2008) and would not re-power. I waited over a week at a marina in British Columbia for a new unit to arrive. It was installed (unit three!) and would not work! I waited another week and got a fourth unit. It worked the remainder of the 2008 season (4 months so far), but if it starts crashing like the previous 2 units (the third unit, purchased new, never worked), I will replace it with a DIFFERENT brand.
These units are now made in China and obviously the quality control is unreliable. And what would the Xantrex company do for me after hundreds of dollars of moorage fees and several weeks of lost cruising time and waiting? Absolutely nothing!
Do not buy anything from this company!

Xantrex 802-1500 XPower 1,500 Watt Portable Powerpack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed a powerful but sealed power-pack (sealed battery + converter) for poolside use, to power a large 110-volt karaoke machine for five hours a day. The Xatrex 1500 is the only power-pack I've found that meets this requirement.
It was a pleasant surprise to find that the wheels have rubber rather than (noisy) plastic treads.
The first 1500 stopped working with a bang after two hours. When I phoned the Xantrex company, the technician I soon was talking to quickly concluded that my 1500 had malfunctioned and recommended that I return it. I was pleased with this candor. The second 1500 has worked for about a month now.
Not obvious is that the 1500 has a small storage cabinet, in which I store an extension cord.
Both 1500s arrived undamaged. A disclaimer is that I bought my 1500s from costo-dot-comm, which is relevant because perhaps Costco uses different packaging for shipping.
The "large karaoke machine" is a MegaStar CM-K1100, and its average draw has been 30-something watts.
9/18/06 Update: Around July the charge time dropped to under four hours. When I called Xantrex, the technician told me that battery life is about 200 charges.
