Review on Power Bright APS1000-12 Pure Sine Power Inverter 1000W Continuous / 2000W Peak 12V DC to 120V AC by Reggie Hobbs

Inverter sweep with multiple comments

I'm glad I got a pure sine wave inverter at this price and hope it works well enough to keep. The inverter arrived well packaged in foam hangers in a strong kraft box. Huge, taking up almost two feet of space in length and a foot in width. And heavy, see weight in spec. However, he passed one of three tests. My giant mosquito lamp ran for four hours before I turned it off. The next day, he was unable to run two 60-watt light bulbs simultaneously with a 500-watt infrared heater. Just starting the same heater with a power of 250 W took only 20 minutes. I connected a couple of new batteries with thick cables, fully charged and charged them for a week, waiting for them to arrive, and less than an hour later I hear a loud siren with an overload indicator. Since it couldn't handle my undemanding tests above, I'm wondering how other users would get it to work with a freezer, fridge, or oxygen tank, etc. I intend to do more testing and report on my success. In the meantime, I have prepared this unboxing or unboxing video with on-screen comment.

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Sad package
