5.0 out of 5 stars Less useful, but easier to maintain than a generator., October 8, 2006
This review is from: Xantrex XPower Powerpack 600HD Portable Power Source (Automotive)
After spending my vacation in Florida during hurricane Wilma, I learned the value of being prepared for a prolonged power outage. This unit would have been just the thing.

This is essentially a big 12 volt battery and an inverter that produces 120v AC from the battery. While this unit won't power a heater or an air conditioner, it can power a small fan overnight so you can sleep. It can also charge your cell phone and laptop. (After all, your laptop's DVD player might be your only entertainment.) The XPower can power a lamp so you can read or play cards, or you can watch a small TV for a few hours. You can plug in just about anything so long as the total number of watts drawn is 480 or less. (The 600 watt rating is a 5 minute rating, you can only draw 480 watts continuously.) Keep in mind, if you do pull 480 watts, you'll only get 15 minutes of run time. It's best to think of the 600HD as a way to keep small essentials going.

There's an emergency light... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep one in your trunk, August 31, 2006

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Xantrex XPower Powerpack 600HD Portable Power Source (Automotive)
I purchased this product to use primarily in case my battery died, and secondarily as a portable power source when camping or away from a source of electricity.

The powerpack works great when starting any size car with a completely dead battery. The built-in inverter is great to charge cell phones or run small appliances when camping for example.

The display is very useful, showing either the percentage charge or the real-time wattage being used.

Be forewarned, though, that this item is heavy and portable only inasmuch as it has a handle. I wouldn't lug it too far. Also, while charging is quick through the cigarette lighter cable, it takes a long time through the AC adaptor.

Overall, a great purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Three more things to consider, December 22, 2006
By 
OldAmazonian (Portland, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Xantrex XPower Powerpack 600HD Portable Power Source (Automotive)
1) The downloadable manual available here on Amazon says the maker's warranty on this gadget is six months, not one year as Amazon's description says.

2) Xantrex says the sealed lead-acid battery is not replaceable by the user. SLA batteries typically have a service life of about 200 charge/discharge cycles at best, not 500-1000 cycles like NiMH or NiCd batteries.

3) The manual warns users that SOME devices such as discharge lamps, variable-speed tools, and power tool battery chargers may be damaged by the inverter's modified sine wave output -- but I know from experience that this type inverter will run several makers' VS tools and battery chargers perfectly well. It's wise to check with the tool's manufacturer to be certain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little machine for the one- or two-person household, April 25, 2011
By 
This review is from: Capresso EC100 Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Machine (Kitchen)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
I ordered the Capresso EC100 Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Machine because I'm tired of spending megabucks at the local coffee shops for espresso beverages. Also, I don't always want to leave the house to get one, especially for breakfast. And finally, by making espresso beverages at home I can control the ingredients and know exactly how many calories I am consuming.

This machine enables you to prepare espresso with a medium, strong, or very strong taste, using either ground coffee or pods. You can prepare either one or two espressos at a time. It also enables you to prepare cappuccinos (by frothing the milk) or lattes (by steaming it). Oddly, the recipes in the manual do not mention how to prepare a café mocha. My own method is to squirt some Hershey's sugar-free chocolate syrup into a latte, add two packets of artificial sweetener, and stir vigorously. The manual does include helpful tips on ingredients. For example, the lower fat milk is the more froth it will... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars nicely designed product that makes coffee, not espresso, July 6, 2011
By 
This review is from: Capresso EC100 Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Machine (Kitchen)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
I love everything about the Capresso...except for the fact that it makes coffee, not espresso. This is the third espresso maker in this price range that I've owned, the previous two being a Starbucks Barista and a Gaggia, and while I like the design of the Capresso the most (1. Capresso, 2. Gaggia, 3. Barista), I like the coffee the least (1. Gaggia, 2. Barista, 3. Capresso). Which - when you get down to the bottom line - is kind of a dealbreaker.

The Capresso does produce a thick "crema" but the coffee is mellow rather than bold. I can turn on the machine, run through a few empty cups of water to heat it up, use my boldest roast, and the coffee that I pull will still be mellow and smooth. If you like mellow, smooth coffee this might be the machine for you. I like thick, bitter, ultra-strong espresso, and the Capresso will not produce it. Also it took a couple of weeks before the new machinery stopped making my coffee taste a little bit like rubber.

For all... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, January 3, 2012
This review is from: Capresso EC100 Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Machine (Kitchen)
My husband and I just recently received our Capresso and have made several Cappuccinos, Lattes, and even a Latte Macchiato. They have all turned our great. They are HOT, and delicious. We have NOT had any problems with temperature, as others have said. In fact, I even burnt my tongue on a Latte last night ;-)

The espresso comes out beautifully. The crema is gorgeous. The milk frother is a great addition. We have found that the European coffee brand "Jacobs Kronung" is our favorite. It's a delicious flavor!

Overall, I definitely recommend this product. It's inexpensive and does just about everything you could do with a pricier machine.

UPDATE 15 June 2012: We've now had our Capresso Machine for months and it's still working GREAT. I make a doubleshot cappuccino almost every morning, so it gets it's use for sure. No complaints whatsoever, no issues. :-)
