Review on CSW1012 1000W 12VDC Pure Sine Inverter - Magnum CSW Series by Victor Anderson

Paperweight. I took a chance ordering a used inverter from Amazon and the inverter arrived completely dead, apparently Amazon didn't test the inverter for functionality before they sold it to me again. Here's a tip for anyone ordering one of these: check if it rattles inside the inverter case, I found a washer in mine that bounces and I saw a YouTube video where the same thing happened to them. At the factory in China, the 12V connectors are not tightly fastened and loose metal parts get into the case where they can cause a short circuit. I removed the loose washer from mine before bench testing it, but I suspect the original buyer didn't and fried the electronics. I used a multimeter and read the entire manual before concluding it was dead dead. Magnum is a great company and I bought it thinking it was one of their quality products but after looking at the construction I would say it's no better than any other cheap Chinese inverter and the selling price of it Definitely not worth $350. cheaper version of pure sine.
