1 year later: Inverter works fine but today it's 106 although inverter has not been used and turned off, internal cooling fans are running all day if I didn't have a solar panel they would completely drain the battery. The device looks good, weighs less than expected (maybe bad), the display looks good, the remote switch works well. My problems with the device are as follows: 1) The instructions for the device say <0.8A DC open circuit; AD means <0.6A. 2) Manual means 86% peak efficiency, AD means 90%. 3) AD talks about built-in fuse, you don't need to install it; The instructions say nothing about the fuse, there is no fuse outside the block, nowhere is the fuse mentioned. If there are replaceable fuses, you will need to remove the case. I tried the device briefly with a small load (30 watts) and no load, it noticeably drained my lithium battery in standby mode, shortly I will connect it to the meter to see how much power it is really using , and I will publish here. Also, there is a small dent on the front of the remote switch. ADD The fuses are inside, hard to reach, but they are there. Internal wiring: 2 x 6 AWG positive side and 2 x 6 AWG negative side. 2. ADD Internal fans turn on at set temp, it was exceptionally hot in Arizona this summer, after running 300 watts for 30 minutes, I turned it off. The fans stayed on, I came back half an hour later, the fans were still on, mind you, that's when the device is not physically plugged in. The fans did not stop without disconnecting the battery or turning on the device's fan. The device was outside, but in the shade. I worry that this might accidentally drain my batteries when it's very hot outside. The problem is that the fan kicks on at 113 degrees depending on the manufacturer, it can be hotter in the southwestern desert than the surrounding area which means the fans run all day when it's hot outside which earns it 3 stars there because it's the only way to stop the fans. Disconnect it from the battery suitable for permanent installation.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • I don't really like it, everything is fine
