Review on πŸ’‘ High-Efficiency 1000W Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter by Spartan Power SP-PS1000: Converts 12V DC to 120V AC by Djkutt Kent

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not as advertised and didn't work for more than a few minutes

[Updated on 14 actual use (whether traveling or preparing for emergencies). The device is now only outputting 70VAC, which isn't very useful even for purely resistive loads (e.g. coffee maker, small toaster oven, etc.), suggesting that with such a low input supply voltage the device won't turn on at all. I will try to return this unit after processing the first return. I understand that it's difficult to find a reliable 1kW+ pure sine wave inverter in the price range (people think AIMS products aren't great, but I'm considering trying them myself), but I don't recommend to roll the dice at Spartan Power products. [Originally posted on April 12, 2021 - First appeared live on Revain.com on April 14, 2021] Pretty bad experience overall. I had very high expectations, but I was totally disappointed. I was very excited to buy a device on sale but everything went wrong. No LED indicator, no battery cable and no spare fuses - all listed as part of the product description. And it happened TWICE. The first time the seller accused Revain of sending me a used unit but that doesn't explain why I received something that didn't match the photos in the product description. The second time I got no explanation even though I called them, put them on hold and left a message. Didn't receive the product manual and emailed the manufacturer - grilling. The first item is also faulty - 0V output, FAULT shown on remote control. The second item seems to work, which is why it got a star above baseline, but based on other reviews I held my breath to see how long it worked.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • I will add later
