Cantonape 2500 Watt Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter 12V DC to 120V AC Converter with 4 AC Outlets and 3.1A USB Port & LED Display for Car RV Truck Boat Travel Emergency

Good value for 1500watt pure-sine inverter. I would prefer actual nuts and lock-washers with rubber covers for DC input terminals, the included 'knobs' are difficult to torque properly.

Not working after 4 mouth

I bought this 500W inverter specifically to run a small Frigidaire EFR492 refrigerator off a 12 VDC trailer battery. It is 4.6 cu ft, made by Ningbo of China, and also bought on Amazon, where the page specifies 110 VAC, a bit strange since 120 VAC is normal in the U.S. Digging deep on Frigidaire's website finds specifications of 110-120 VAC and 65 W power, so "should work". It appears the refrigerator controls have a trip which doesn't like the inverter power, my guess due to low voltage. I used my Fluke 123 Scopemeter, which showed a clean sine wave, and exactly 110 VAC. A clamp-on DC ammeter showed the 12 V draw was 0.7 A, both with no load and with refrigerator on, which is the inverter's expected base draw. The inverter's "fault" light occasionally flashed and the output cut-off, but it didn't latch the inverter off as a shop light connected to it would turn back on after 1 sec. Connecting just the LED shop light increased the draw to 1.4 A. Strangely, my multimeter couldn't read the AC output, jumping around wildly, while it showed a steady 119 VAC on my home power where the refrigerator ran fine.Finally, I connected a charger to my trailer's 12 VDC battery to boost input from the inverter from 12.5 VDC to 13.2 VDC. The inverter and refrigerator then worked differently, but still not correct. The DC draw jumped to ~25 A, but came and went. I expected 6 ADC, given the 90% inverter efficiency. The refrigerator motor got warm, but it didn't vibrate like when on home power and the refrigerant didn't get cool. Afterwards, it still ran fine on home power. So, I will return the inverter to try another. No charge for the engineering time. Edit - I later bought a 300 W "pure sine" w/ 120 VAC but also didn't work. Then bought a 1000 W "pure sine" and worked. I measured 7.4 A draw at 11.8 VDC with compressor ON (close to expected) so must have a very high startup surge.

The media could not be loaded.  Have this hooked up to a 10ah LTO battery and powering a idle PS3 for testing purposes (originally for just the battery and it's capacity...) However it has come to my attention that the fan is of EXTRA cheap quality and is audibly scratching/whining when activated. I'd like to also mention that the inverter itself is almost hot to the touch. Likely because the fan is trash but still a notable mention.The PS3 original which is connected to the inverter right now is allegedly drawing 190w while idle (according to energy's calculator.com) however I have not measured it myself as my amp clamp is at work.My assumption with the temperature of the inverter itself is because of the absolute garbage-tier fan they have installed but at the same token, this/my unit is rated at 1000w continuous. I feel like the amount of heat this thing is generating from such a small load is a little worrying.TLDR: Unit is super hot, fan is trash, but it's still going drawing a potential 190w continuous (yes one hundred and ninety). I will let it deplete the battery and than likely return it. It's essentially a borderline fire hazard at this point with the noise to boot.

Fast shipping and work great! When I used my air fryer the inverter was a little hot. I will give 5 stars if there is fuse on front panel! Great price on that value!

This unit will help my off grid capabilities in my RV. Paired with 4000 watts of solar on the roof and duel 200 AH batteries my gas generator should not have to be utilized.

I use it on my pontoon with its’ own marine battery and can run just about anything on it. Great addition to the pontoon for sure

I wrote an earlier review on this inverter and stated my disappointment with its load capacity. I have since purchased a larger inverter only to find the same issue. As it turns out, you must use very large capacity wiring from the batteries to the inverter. Otherwise, the DC voltage drop is too much when under load. Even with the 2/0 input wiring, my inverter will only power small appliances for a short time. It seems that any inverter would require frequent/constant charging of the batteries on my camper. Maybe it would be more practical when combined with a solar charging system but that is another expensive and complex can of worms.

No soporta levantar un motor de 1/4 HP. Por más que lo intenté no logra levantar el motor, lo cual lo hace bastante básico, a pesar de ser el de mayor capacidad hasta este momento que tiene la marca.
