Review on ⚡️ GoWISE Power 600W Pure Sine Wave Inverter 12V DC to 120V AC + 2 AC Outlets, 1 USB Port, 2 Clamp Cables (1200W Peak), Model PS1001 by Jason Vigen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Over 1.8 years of moderate use and still works great in a mobile van

I need something compact and small that fits over the AGM battery case. 600W is ideal in terms of size and light to medium AC load. The 1000w and 1500w models are oversized and difficult to move or hide under a van seat. A pure sine wave is important because it gives me clean and reliable 117-120VAC. Other impure sine wave inverters I currently use will step down to 90-95 VAC. Most sensitive devices will not work at this voltage. I also have a small UPS in the van and it doesn't like 92 VAC from another dirty sine wave inverter. Constant beep when using 92 VAC. But when I used this inverter, the performance was flawless. I have a couple of switches in my car to automatically connect between the shore, the car's alternator and the inverter. The changeover switch transmits the voltage unchanged. So if your source is 92 VAC, it supplies 92 VAC. If it is 118 VAC then 118 VAC will not. Installing the ring terminal lug on this inverter requires some modifications to avoid possible shorting of the two terminals, especially when using 8 to 6 AWG wires. The trick is to add tape and plastic material to close the contact. This is done to minimize the risk of contact closure. This inverter is still working properly after 1.8 years. The price is very good and costs almost the same as other impure sine wave inverters. I would recommend this as the output voltage is very clean and within specs. A remote on/off option is added to this model, which I only see on the 1000w models.
