Review on πŸ’‘ 1200W Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter 12V DC to 120V AC - Remote Control, USB Port, LED Display - Ideal for RV, Laptop, Emergency Situations by John Carter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as advertised with electric motors/fridges

It turned out that a regular 1200w Giandel fridge with a pure sine wave inverter connected to my off-grid solar power system would be cheaper than a propane fridge (half price of everything shared). Despite the refrigerator's 160W rating, the old 450W inverter would not let it start due to the high inrush current. Giandel managed the climb at take-off, and the fridge hummed non-stop for three days with two car batteries powering it in parallel. The fan on the inverter turned on in the start cycle and turned off quickly at low loads. The big benefit of the inverter was the output power meter - it was invaluable for tracking actual power input/output. Didn't need tech support so can't comment on that.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Expensive
