Review on AIMS Power PICOGLF6W12V120VETL Marine Grade Pure Sine Inverter Charger - Blue, Conformal Coated | 600W, 1800W Surge by Micael Rau

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Update: Huge POS. The switch creaks at the slightest load when connecting to the land network.

When connected to the mains, which happens in most cases, it only delivers 15A output. This is too small for an inverter of this size. This means the breaker will click at the slightest load and I have to keep going outside to reset the breaker on the block. Loads and inverts normally. Conforms to UL458 standard. It disconnects neutral and ground when connected to shore power, allowing you to plug the camper into a GFI outlet. sockets. My old Freedom 1500 easily coped with the rigors of a camper van. Never turn off the switch when connected to the land network. Small microwave, tv, fridge and a couple of outlets. No problem. The AIMS 2000 machine broke down as soon as we turned on the microwave. So it is obvious that AIMS 1500 Freedom 1500 is somehow inferior. And it was on PASSTHRU, NOT INVERTING. There is absolutely no reason for AIMS to turn off the switch prematurely on a through drive, let alone too little current draw. This happened with the AIMS 1500 so we returned it and bought the AIMS 2000 instead. A huge 15A inverter and almost unusable as a result.

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
