I needed some portable power for a small halloween parade float. This inverter lit the lights and powered the boom-box.

Nice inverter. Fan only runs when it needs to. I've run coffee makers, some power tools with it, fans, lights, etc. This year I ran our Christmas float rope lights through it. Less than 500W load. It was great. While other groups were toddling down the main street with a big noisy generator running (with loudspeakers trying to get the music out over the generator noise) we were rolling along in silence able to hear each other, talk to the bystanders and so forth.Nice added safety margin too if there was an emergency we would be able to hear someone tells us to stop (for example if a child ran out in the street or someone fell off of the float).

There is just about always a 12V solution to most of my needs but I don't generally own those solutions. I know I can buy 12V lights, or a 12V coffee maker or a 12V tool but rather than do that I just use this inverter instead. I can even run my Milwaukee 3/4" drill and Sawz-All with this inverter which makes going to the junkyard fun. Can't run with the tool on a heavy load/100% throttle but it gets the job done. When I do these trips I take my larger 1000W inverter now.

I've owned another brand inverter since 1994 and it died this year b/c the person I loaned it to did not follow the instructions always connect the black ground cable first and disconnect it last. Don't let the two DC power leads touch each other b/c the inverter will still have an internal capacitor charged and short circuiting it may fry something. And of course don't ground the A/C plugs (what would normally trip a circuit breaker in a house). I'm not sure what they did to the old 300W inverter but they killed it. Definitely worth reading the instructions.

This newer inverter did not mention these safety concerns but I live by these rules.

Bought this inverter from Amazon for $22 because package was damage so far so good running my small cabin with lights 120v energy efficient water pump which uses only 120 Watts 22 inch led TV and a 32 inch lcd tv With two 6volt golf cart batteries and two solar panels fan only runs when need which is hardly in my case because everything I use is energy efficient. so far so good but only time will tell

item pictured looks nice, clean and not cheap.

item recieved had the same specs, but had a cheap sticker on the front.

it does function, but everytime i plug something in it beeps, and flashes red and has to be reset. it has two 45 amp fuses, and comes with a extra set. comes with the battery and lighter plug.

i bought this to use for my car to run computers with, so time will tell, and i will review the post.

the lighter plug wire is very short.

but overall works.

i have used this for about a year now, and this thing will hardly run anything, (engine running on several vehicles) a laptop and a 15" lcd monitor kicks it off, i tried to use it during a power outage for a 32" led TV, and a 10W light, and it kicked it every 2-3 minutes.

the wires that connect to the battery are falling apart where they connect, (the rubber)

wish i could agree with other reviews, but it just wont power anything for me.
