Great little device - inverter

I already have other inverters but I need something for a small AC charger. This unit is silent, just the faintest hint of a fan that you only hear when the car is absolutely silent. Copes with charging with no problems. The power cord is a little short, only 2ft, but you can always use an AC extension cord (AC is better than DC over long distances anyway). I can also bring a second device to leave in my wife's car.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • alt

I looked at many options and am happy with my decision

I looked at many options and am happy with my decision. It has more amps (faster charging) and enough watts for what I need. Laptops/phones/extra power when camping. The fan emits a high-pitched hum, but as soon as the radio is turned on, it is no longer audible. The size was also much more compact than most, allowing it to fit perfectly in my Altima's storage space. Perfect for those who only need to run a device or two

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

It worked flawlessly during burn tests

It worked flawlessly during a two week burn test on my emergency backup solar system. It must be reliable when needed. I used 2 x 100W solar panels, a 125Ah AGM battery, a 30A controller and this modified 300W rectangular inverter. I'm not worried they can handle loads of up to 250W as tested. The situation in Puerto Rico got me thinking about the need for this system as an emergency backup for cell phone charging and lighting. Only in an emergency can we rely on ourselves.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Available in white only

Meets my needs, seems to meet all the advertised characteristics.

Love it! I bought it to power a TV and an IPTV set top box in my RV without running a generator, the load is around 180 watts. The fan is audible but barely noticeable in anything other than the library setting. The build quality seems reasonable for the price. I would recommend it for any application where it performs enough. Bestek recommends in the manual not to use the cigarette lighter socket for loads over 150W. On my current draw I didn't blow the output fuse and the 12V wire didn't seem

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Volume

I almost set my car on fire

I bought this inverter a few months ago to power and charge my laptop on the go. I finally got the chance to use it the other day when I bought it in June and it worked fine for about an hour or two while using my laptop. Shortly after that I started to see a lot of smoke coming out of the 12V socket and I immediately unplugged the inverter and had to open the windows because the smoke was so heavy. I'm not sure what happened, but I can say that the 12V connector isn't that heavy and the heatโ€ฆ

  • Build Quality

love this shop. via jumpers, chargers, and portable power supplies

Inverters are hit or miss. I had one that worked fine but the fan was junk and made a whining noise that could be felt in your bones. This is very well built and very quiet. So quiet it's easy to forget it's plugged in. Take care of your battery. The only thing I don't like are the USB ports (there are 2 of them, in addition to 2 120V sockets) which remain live even when the switch is off. . If they and the fan were turned on via a power button, you could just leave the device plugged in allโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One-year trial period
Cons
  • Functionality

Good price inverter

This is a good value 300w unit. I like its plastic body which is better suited for boating and camping. No sharp edges, no scratches or stains. It's very light and comfortable for my use. I like that the cable is built in as I would never connect it directly to the battery in my use. The voltage is close enough to 110VAC and the device delivers enough power without getting hot. The biggest load I've put on it is a 165 watt air mattress pump. The device works perfectly and does not heat up evenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Too loud, van lights flicker, USB charge port specs are rubbish

Updated review: I returned it. The fan got very noisy, even at 35W, which is a far cry from its "quiet" claims. It flickered my RV lights, which no other inverter did, not even the 400w models. And USB ports, of course, are complete nonsense. The body is comfortable. Too bad the internal components weren't up to date. Two stars because it still works. Here's an old review: The AC side of this inverter seems to work so far and is well built. The problem is that the USB ports absolutely work. doโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Really don't like it, it's ok
