I have a number of Xantrex products and have found them to be good quality. I cannot say the same for thier product support. I have a Powersource 1800 that shorted out. It is less than 2 years old (20 months). It is out of warranty. I am willing to pay to have it repaired. They will NOT repair it or sell parts for it. The best they will do is sell me another unit at 30% off list. I was informed by customer suppoer that they do not repair products that are out of warranty. So beware buying Xantrex(aka Scnieider Electric), Durucell branded Xantrex products, and APC(a Schneider Electric company). Once they are out of warranty, if something happens to the you can throw them in the trash heap.

I have had this product for over a year, and happy to make comments. It performs as advertised. I have a desktop, monitor, cable modem, and wireless router plugged in. It has performed very nicely during power outages. Excellent product. I would buy again.

I purchased the Xantrex Technologies 852-0400 XPower PowerSource 400-Watt Back-up Power Solution to provide generator free backup power for the sporadic power outages we have in the Northwest.
We are using the Duracell XPower PowerSource to backup for our bedroom lights and radio alarm clock. When the power goes out where we live it is often out for days. When this happens we replace the bulbs in the bedside lights with CFL which helps to keep the overall watt usage down while providing sufficient lighting.
Since we only use the bedside lamps for a short time in the evenings before sleeping and the radio alarm clock uses so little power I calculate the product will provide useful power for over four days.
I gave the product four stars because the first one I received was defective. The manufacturer replaced the product at no charge. Technical support was very helpful, the RMA process painless, and the replacement was at my door in short order.

This is a good product. I work in places sometimes where I have to sit in my vehicle for 8 hours and I want to run my laptop, charge my cell phone, or watch tv. I tried The Power Source and it works great. I was using the battery jumpers from Sears, and they suck. I had the one with the cigarrette lighter on it, so you have to have an adapter to plug in a cord for electronics. With the battery jumpers, my laptop would not always be charging although it was plugged in. With the Power Source it was always on charge when it was plugged in and it even fully charged my laptop. My Sears batter jumper never did that. The Power Source is a bit heavy at 35lbs. but it is worth it. I like the fact that you can have the batteries replaced after they burn out.
Great Power. Great Price. December 23, 2009

I bought this product because I am in the Army and needed a power source available away from vehicles and buildings. This is great! Smaller size when compared to other products because it does what it is supposed to do. Provide emergency or portable power, and let me tell you it delivers. It does not have useless feature I didn't want such as: air compressor, radio, flash light, or jumper cables. Can not say enough good things about this product. Keep up the good work Xantrex.
