  • Works as described...
Size: 1800W
I haven't had a chance to use this much, as I bought it as a backup for a power outage. I tested it using modified jumper cables and hooked up my sump pump. It worked as anticipated, so I am happy at this point. It was reasonably priced and shipped quickly (in time for an anticipated storm).

  • A reliable unit
Size: 1800W
We use these inverters in our locksmith work vans. The inverter works great and the installation went well. We had to get a solenoid relay to hook it up with dual batteries but they are readily available at any auto parts store. Be sure to get one that is continuous duty rated.

  • 120V for select RV outlets
Size: 1800W
This is a well functioning inverter, however am not too sure the remote has an accurate read out regarding status of batteries. I purchased before our West Coast trip last summer. Rather than going with a unit large enough to power the entire RV, I changed the battery box, and purchased two additional batteries for this unit. Then installed one receptacle powered by this inverter. It is able to power one TV, and my C-pap machine all night, with power left in the AM. It allowed us to go without needing our generator. Power output is only about 110V 60hz, was looking for at least 115V or even 120V off the rip. Everything I needed it for worked so am rather happy with it and its cost compared to converting our entire RV. ... show more

  • Great unit to use in our service vans
Great unit to use in our service vans. We can run anything from a drill to a vacuum. We have 5 of these and only one has failed in 10 years.

  • not a sine wave
Size: 1800W
I brought this because it was a good value for the watts it provides. I thought a generator would be too noisy and I'd have to store too many gas cans. I brought this for a couple day power outage at home, to run my sump, refrigerator, and hopefully furnace/blower. But, Modified sine wave is more like a modified square wave. I tested it with a fan, and as some warned the fan ran "noisy". I am afraid to use it with my new furnace, as I don't want to damage the control boards with the screwy AC waveform. So I'm considering getting a small pure sine wave unit to drive my furnace controls, separately power the blower with this MSW unit. I think the sump will be fine, the refrig I haven't tried yet. I also had to buy an expensive Deep Cycle battery. Update Nov 2013: Here is a description of the 'modified sine wave' I observed with my oscilloscope. It is NOTHING AT ALL like a sine wave. It is a rectangular waveform, with one pulse per half-period. There is no approximation of a sinewave's shape with graduated 'steps'.. The voltage and width of the output pulse varies with the load. The peak-peak voltage of normal 120 Vac is about 344. When running a lightbulb the MSW pulse was 320 Vp-p, the pulse-width was about 4 millisec. Adding a small fan to the load lowered Vp-p to 310 and PW widened to ~5.8 ms. I imagine as the load goes up, peak voltage drops and pw widens to deliver 'same' power. ... show more

  • Disappointed by the short lifespan
Size: 1800W
Judging by the price and brand name, I expected a much better product. Unfortunately, I was left sorely disappointed with a lighter wallet. I ordered this unit to run a small blower, a small refrigerator and some small appliance chargers (phones, iPad, etc). It worked great for less than a year. Ran large cable (00-gauge) through my truck and had it done right. After a short while, it suddenly stopped providing power. The LEDs on the side lit up and appeared normal, but no power would be provided at the outlets; the manual only gave options for troubleshooting when the LEDs didn't come on. The wiring in the truck checked out and a separate power supply confirmed the issue was with the inverter. Contacted the manufacturer and could not resolve the situation. Now I'm out of pocket over $250 and have to find another inverter. For the price, I expected much better. Zero reason an inverter would last under a year. Looking at other reviews, looks like I'm not the only one to experience this malfunction. I recommend trying another brand. ... show more

  • works good
Size: 1800W
A quality item. Connections from dc battery to the inverter are the only weak link. You need heavy cables for best results.
