💡 Outback Power VFXR3648A Vented 120V A Model Inverter/Charger: Reliable Power Solutions for Your Electrical Needs Review

Incredible inverter! An update for the FX series. Same chassis, same weight, same size and everything, but with more features. The big advantage of the VFXR is that it does not require a MATE3 or HUB to operate (unlike Outback's Radian inverters). When using the VFXR3648 in standalone mode, no programming or MATE is required. The new VFXR3648 costs almost the same as the old FX model, but has more features such as hybrid and network capabilities, as well as support for lithium and other new…

Just received last Friday, installed and working perfectly. This is a monster, heavy, durable, with good reliable connections and quiet. So far I only have a few complaints. Turning the inverter on and off is a pain. I probably won't do this often, but without Mate there's no on/off switch. Actually you have to install your own. It would be nice if outback dwellers thought of a smartphone app instead of the separate controller they sell. Twice in the last 2 weeks it just stopped inverting for a

I live offline and have been for a while. I started using OutBack products about 20 years ago when they released their first FX inverters. I may be going online this year and couldn't do so with my existing FX inverters so I switched to these VFXR3648A which can be used for both off-grid and grid-tied applications. I bought two of these to run both my home and carpentry shop. I could actually run them with one, but due to the surge power required to run some of my tools I had to have both…

While I'm not a fan of the Mate3 that powers this inverter, the inverter itself CANNOT be ANYTHING better. Extremely reliable and with many configuration options to adapt it to your specific needs. I use mine as a large backup UPS for our house. I connected all critical circuits to an auxiliary panel connected to an inverter. Grid power is the primary source and simply flows through the inverter, powering the secondary panel 99.999% of the time. When the utility power is cut off, the inverter…

The main functionality of this inverter is excellent, with good clean output, minimal noise and high efficiency. The physical build is of very good quality. I would give the block itself 3 stars. One of the input connectors was loose on the inside so when I tightened the screw the entire connector turned. Yes, I used a precision torque wrench. The internal voltmeter is terrible. I don't see why they can't just put a decent voltage reference chip on the board, it's not that expensive. But they…
