Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not recommended as the best in tools and gear

I'm a trucker and I use it to power my 32 inch TV, PS4 and Kruger coffee maker. Instead, I tried turning on my coffee maker. Sometimes it turns on the coffee maker but only when the truck is running, it doesn't work when I have APU enabled. Most of the time it shuts off a few times before the cup is finally brewed. During this process, the wires become very hot. The fan is very noisy and turns on frequently. The converter is rated for 2000W and a 3000W pulse, but it doesn't even come close to that before shutting down. Manufacturer Krüger says it draws a maximum of 1700 watts. The product struggled to keep up with my needs and eventually shut down completely. I thought maybe it was just a bad block so I sent it back for an exchange. The new product only lasted 6 days before being short circuited. I had to return the item to get the full refund which I received. This negative review is not directed at Revain or the seller but reflects the manufacturer. The remote switch is not wireless, so keep that in mind. Also, it shorted out and didn't work for several days before the rest of the device stopped working. The product arrived in perfect condition as shown in the photo and included heavy duty cables to connect to the battery. The trailer cables aren't long enough to reach the batteries and connect to the unit in your sleeper, so keep that in mind. It comes with an ANL fuse encased in a thick, clear plastic case. The ANL backup is a good addition. The LCD screen is backlit with a light blue light and is easy to read. All in all it's not worth the money. The only thing it can power is the power consumption, which is so low that you can use a cheaper, less powerful inverter. If you need to run a coffee maker, fridge, or something heavy, I suggest looking elsewhere or upgrading to a more powerful unit. I watched a video of a man operating his power tools and was very impressed. I would love to see a video of the same power tool in action rather than just spinning in mid air. Try cutting wood or metal with it and we'll see how long the device lasts. I bet it won't be long.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Not bad
