2000W Power Inverter 12V DC To 110V AC Car Power Inverter, Automotive Back Up Power Supply Car Inverter With Dual AC Outlets For RV, Household Appliance, Electronic Device Charging

Update after a year of use: This thing is an animal. Have been running it in the cabin for a year now after blowing out my old 1200W Peak inverter. This thing is a strong performer. Runs an AC unit, microwave, small fridge, lights, power tools, vacuum .... you name it. Has enough power to run the AC, fridge, & microwave all at the same time. I have 400W of solar panels feeding 2 large (8D24) batteries. This inverter is the only power source I need. Haven't needed the generator since installing it. 5 stars all the way.I needed a new inverter for my off grid cabin project. I had an older 1200W inverter and I smoked it. I clearly needed more power.So I worked on sourcing a new 2000W unit and so far, it looks like a winner. I am not sure if I need pure sine or not (there is so much really bad information out there on modified vs pure sine - most people and even 'experts' just don't get it). So I wanted to try a beefy modified sine inverter first and see how it goes. This unit was a really good price. It's about 3 times the size of the old one with 3 variable speed cooling fans. Size does matter as heat kills and large heat sinks with multiple fans remove heat. I need to get some longevity on this unit yet but I did some basic tests and here are the results:First test, 1000W of light (2 500W shop lights) .... Pass (doesn't even get warm)2nd test, chop saw cutting wood ..... Pass3rd test, 500W load and then the chop saw, this one failed at first, but it was likely not enough battery for that much load (probably 180A or more needed) so I recharged the battery and added a second one in parallel.3rd test with battery boost ..... PASS! It takes a lot to spin up the saw and cut wood with an extra 500W load. This thing rocks. I can't wait to install it.I didn't take any voltage readings but the lights stayed bright and the saw ran smooth with plenty of power so the voltage was no doubt staying up fine. The reason I didn't take any readings is most DMM's can not measure modified AC properly. AC measurements are complex, they are saying what AC voltage is the equivalent to the same level of DC. They use an RMS rating rather than a simple average. Most DMM's do some simple math (.707 x Peak Voltage), this only works if the AC is a sine wave, they will have a large error measuring any other AC. So unless your DMM has True RMS, don't bother. So when you see reviews complaining of low voltage on inverters ..... yea, it's usually the operator at fault.I did take a couple other measurements though.Current draw with the switch off: 4mA (very good, I've seen much higher)Current draw at idle (on, no AC load): 400mA (also very good, often it's in excess of 1A for inverters this size)More testing to come but so far I am impressed, I will be buying a couple more of these units if it holds up. Very happy.Edit:I should add what another reviewer mentioned. The cables are short and a little light. Probably good for about 1000W but they're short so they squeak by. My plan is to replace them with a couple of battery cables from the auto store. These will still be good for jumping the 2 batteries together though.Unit is installed and running in the cabin now and so far, no issues, runs everything we plug in. Lights, coffee pot, fan, and a little fridge .... no problem. More appliances to come.

Works fine right out of the box to run my flat screen TV/DVD combo (55 Watt AC load), but you'll probably need to buy more robust cables. The supplied cables are only 16 inches long so you are very constrained as to where you can place the inverter relative to the battery. Also the ring connectors on the cables are stamped 80A (80 Amps, about 4-gauge wire), which is good enough for an 800 Watt AC load but will not handle the DC current draw from a 12 Volt battery to supply the rated 2000 Watt AC continuous load. For such a load you want 3/0 gauge connector cables.

The media could not be loaded. I have been looking for this for a while. I resell TV for side business and really needs something that will power just all kind of TVs from my car. This is a perfect match for me. I bought one from Fry's but it stopped working after a month, which is disappointed.Very easy to use, just hook it up to your car, power it on, wait until green light comes on and you all good to go.Edited: This thing is insane! We were able to power on 1000W heater. Will definitely get one more in the future for my other car.

The media could not be loaded. Runs 1800 watt hairdryer but only at 1425watt max. Runs 4.3cu ft fridge nice, however, it cannot start and run a 650 watt fridge. It provides not more than 1650 watt start surge at which time the fridge compressors thermal fuse trips. This operates like a 1200 watt inverter with limited 1700 peak wattage. I use 12v golf cart batteries 210 AH fully charged connected with sellers provided 80 amp cables.Revised review Oct 05, 2018After replacing the pair of flimsy (seller provided) battery cables with a pair of huge 4/0 awg cables, my 650 watt fridge started and ran effortlessly. However, the inverter + and - terminal posts are too short to fit washers, so seller should either provide extension posts or redesign with longer threaded posts. Anyway, I think this inverter deserves an upgrade to four stars. Not five stars due to cable and terminal issues. See photos showing 4/0 cables and short terminal post problems.Revised again Oct 12,2018 ....DEFECTIVE!Inverter works but it now produces a continuous squealing sound. The 3 fans are not running, so it’s something else inside the unit. The sound is like a leaky electrolytic capacitor. The squealing happens even with nothing plugged into inverter and becomes very loud with a load on it. I tried different loads. Anyway, I will be returning it. Don’t want this device burning up or exploding. Inverter is running on +12v 210AH golf cart batteries. At this time, my mppt is disconnected so no noise leak thru.Final revision...Oct 12, 2018Fast seller response!.....seller recommended exchange or return the item. I chose to return it. Upgraded seller’s stars from 2 up to 5 for excellent customer service!

I blew two previous pure sine wave inverters in my trailer (trailer probably has some glitchy electrics). I bought this same power (2000W) modified sine wave inverter since it was had internal fuses (unlike previous two) and for all its protection circuits. I also 20A fused the hot line on the AC output cabling from this inverter to the trailer. This new inverter will not run the LG 6000BTU air conditioner and will not run some plug-in fans (since it's modified sine), but it is very quiet and has been running much cooler than my last two inverters. Runs everything else in the trailer so far, and I tested it with 2.5A, 5A, and 8A loads (960W) plugged into outlets, with no problems. Happy with purchase for the $118.99 price.
