Review on ๐Ÿš— POTEK 500W Car Power Inverter: Convert DC 12V to AC 110V with Dual AC Outlets and USB Port (2A) by Dwayne Pore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for me - Inverter

This inverter is exactly what I need. It fuels my little coffee pot for winter construction and keeps crock-pot warm between stops over the holidays. Externally, the inverter is a red anodized aluminum case that acts as a heatsink, which is great as the fan won't run when small loads are powered. When I first got this I put it to the test and plugged in my little coffee pot (720w) and soldering iron (30w) for a full 15 minutes and it worked like a champ and didn't even feel hot. As for the output, I'm less than impressed (but still good enough for what I need), the output voltage is highly dependent on battery voltage, and the output is pretty loud (electrical, but most modified sine waves) when I the frequency check on my meter shows 120Hz. Overall a good inverter and I only use it for resistive loads so the shortcomings don't even bother me.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Reliable
