Review on 1000W Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter: DC 12V to AC 120V | LCD Display, Remote Control, USB Port | Ideal for Travel & Camping by Shaun Stapp

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Monster inverter with obscure manual

CHGAOY 3000W-X inverter (6000W peak power) Pure Sine Wave is a monster device designed for permanent installation with a really robust parallel LiFePo4 battery pack for a van or SUV. It has pretty much everything you need to put it in a closet and never worry about it again - remote control (via RJ-45 phone cord so you can easily swap out for a longer one if the supplied cord isn't available is long) ) enough) works well and this thing is built in to connect power directly to and from it, although I'd probably spend an extra $30 to get 2 extra AC outlets. The surveillance here is good, although the smile/frown for connections is a little less comprehensive than I'd like. So why 4 stars? One of the best things - in theory - are fuses, which prevent damage to devices from overloads and short circuits. That's fine, except for the small fact that not only is the manual so obscure that it's hard to figure out what the basic functions do, but more importantly how to replace the fuse, which is mentioned but never shown. I haven't opened up the unit yet to find out where the replacement goes, but that's just a terrible part of customer support that could never be overlooked. I could live with the terrible translation and graphics, but it's not even included. 4 stars.

Pros
  • remote control
Cons
  • cable shorter than others
