Somewhat useful, but couldn’t get AC outlet to work!
Update (3-22-25)The maker was kind enough to send a replacement unit, especially b/c I suspected that the first one might have been defective. With the newer inverter, once again the light and the charging ports worked exactly as they should. But this time the AC outlet…………worked perfectly fine as well! This time I especially concentrated on finding low-wattage devices that I would take with me while camping or might use during an emergency like a blackout: a plugged cord with a 60 watt bulb on the other end; a similar cord with a switch and a “regular” light socket at one end where I screwed in a 100 watt bulb; and a small electric fan (but I don’t remember the wattage, sorry). And all of them worked just fine with the inverter! The key, I think, is to find your low-wattage devices before you might use them and try them out with the inverter. I realize this should be common sense but it’s helpful every now and then to be reminded—particularly when we’re talking about devices that could/should be used in emergency situations. In any event, I’m pleased with the performance of this inverter, and I certainly recommend it. Just remember to use lower wattage devices with the AC outlet and you should have no problems.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++This can be a very useful device. I especially like the little light on top. It has come in very handy as it is surprisingly bright. (But is it actually 400 Lumens? I doubt it.) I have also used this inverter to power up my electronic devices, such as my iPhone and a couple power banks. In my opinion, this inverter is best used for what I have described above. But what about its 110V outlet, you ask? Well, to date just about everything we’ve plugged into it hasn’t worked. So I’m seriously doubting that spec of 220 watts. If it’ll work at all, it’ll have to be very low powered devices—whatever they may be. My advice is to test anything and everything first you might be taking on an outing or camping trip, to see if the inverter will actually power it up. This is only an educated guess (b/c I couldn’t find my darn meter—we just moved—but I wouldn’t try to plug anything into the AC unless it pulls 100 watts or less (and err on the “or less” side). So is it worth its price point? Without the AC outlet being of much use (it could of course be defective), I would say definitely not. So it’s difficult for me to recommend, despite its other useful features. If for some reason I find out that it is defective and receive another one that works properly, I’ll certainly edit this review accordingly.

READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE PURCHASE
I found this device to be ideal for my particular use case, however, as I will explain in this review, there is more to the product than originally explained. It states that the inverter can produce 220W of AC power with a surge of 250W. I have not found it to support a 250W surge, however, in my tests it has outputted a maximum of 227W. With that said, there is one very important additional thing to note. It can only produce a surge of 80W at a time. For example, it can power 3 75W lightbulbs. However, in order to do so, they must be plugged in one at a time. If you try to plug something in that will pull more than 80W at once, such as a 100W light bulb, it will trip. So in order to run 3 75W lightbulbs, you must plug them in one at a time so the total power draw only increases by 75W at a time. Overall very good quality product, however will not run anything that needs more than 80W at once / at startup.

For camping and power outage
I tested with power outage. I put battery on it and plugged with two lamps with LED bulbs (4 watts each). They are bright enough. The worked good. I tested with other inverter for LED 60 watt bulb (7 watts each) in kitchen. It looks bright enough, too. In the future, I will use it for modem, Wi-Fi router, and routers. We use iPads and iPhones to continue wireless when power outages. Also, we will use inverters for camping in th future.
