Review on πŸ”Œ BESTEK 150W Power Inverter DC 12V to 110V AC Converter with 4.2A Dual USB Car Adapter in Yellow by Robert Howell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Looks good, but seems superficial.

I bought this low wattage inverter to reduce the power consumption of my car battery. It replaced my Bestek 300W inverter. See, I planned everything down to the minute. I know how long I can power the inverter without the engine running before my battery gets too low to start the car. Well I figured this less watt and therefore more efficient inverter would buy me more time. Not even close. A 150W inverter is a powerful glutton. It destroyed my battery in half the time. Watts is just wrong. So I proceeded with plan B. I have 2kW solar panels feeding a 3kW 12v regulator. Can work as long as it takes. Not even close. He immediately ripped off the cap, and the current in the system at that point was about 1.5A. I didn't even bother to fix it. I just threw it away. But I liked the size and design. and the current in the system at that point was about 1.5A. I didn't even bother to debug the issue. I just threw it away.

Pros
  • Ultra-compact and lightweight: The iPhone-sized design is ideal for use on vacation, business trips and camping. The 32" cigarette lighter plug allows you to connect the inverter to almost any vehicle
Cons
  • The cable is shorter than other models
