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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disappointing inverter

I bought this inverter to power my chest freezer ahead of our upcoming move out of state. The freezer consumes approximately 150 watts when switched on and 75 watts in operation. The inverter did not start the freezer when plugged into my car's cigarette lighter with the engine running. Trying to do this, it tried to start several times, but in the end the inverter just shut down and gave an erroneous beep. So I decided to use the supplied clamps to connect the battery terminals while the engine is running. This gave the same result, although connecting to the battery terminals should deliver the full 500 watts of power. This is a disappointing result as the freezer uses relatively little energy. I would not recommend it for this use.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
