I haven't taken it to its limits yet, but it charges the small items that I need it for. But it does it 1 at a time because the AC sockets are too close together.

My old one used to make beeping sound when turned on. This one not

Works great, I don't know if it really is 500w never tried to draw that much, but it powers my gaming laptop and my phone perfectly. The product description says it has a low voltage warning at 11.0 +/- .5 v, but mine starts yelling at me at 11.9, and shuts off at 11.5 and when I say yells, I mean it it would wake you up its so loud.

I had an issue with the first inverter I received. Customer service was prompt in responding and gave helpful troubleshooting steps.The inverter works well for my low power needs. I'm using it for a laptop and for charging power tool batteries. Wiring direct to the battery is definitely the best route to go. Using the 12-volt cigarette outlet limits power drastically, but for good reason as the tiny vehicle wiring cannot support high power draw, and is also why every manufacturer limits this path to 150 watts.I used the inverter to power my laptop while working from home and didn't have an issue. This was using the provided alligator clamps. I tried powering my monitor with it as well, but the monitor would buzz so I stopped (the monitor was fully functional, but I didn't want to listen to the buzz nor risk any damage). To my surprise, the inverter turned off one day and illuminated the red light on it. I was curious if this was due to the battery I was using being low and sure enough it was. Using a volt meter, the battery was at 10.8 volts. The inverter turned off to protect the battery from going too low. Would 10.8 volts have started my vehicle? I don't know, but it was still a nice safeguard to have.For my needs, I'm very happy with this. As stated, I do plan to run permanent wiring directly to my battery though to get the most out of this.

Heads up, DO NOT trust this company. Does the inverter work? Yes! Will it power your devices? Probably, will there be any customer service when it fails, ABSOLUTELY NOT.My inverter died suddenly, it started blowing fuses and every time I replaced them they would snap again. I contacted the company by email, by website and they do not have a phone number. Months went by and they failed to speak with me in any fashion. It’s a solid piece of Chinese junk, but when it fails you will receive no warranty, no replacement, just silence from the company. If your ok with that gamble I cannot complain about the operation of the product until the day it WILL die on you, which is when customer service makes the real difference!

This is not a detailed technical review. I received the unit, I liked how it was packaged, I liked how it looked, I even liked how it smelled. However, it was unable to start a 100w motor for our awning from fully extended position. This is a modified sine wave inverter, i.e. square wave, and as far as I know it does not work well with motors. It really appears to be of very good quality at a very decent price. And it is not Made in China! It is Made in Taiwan. Big difference. Unfortunately it does not work for my application, so I am returning it.

WOW! During the recent hurricane in North Carolina our power went out for 5 1/2 hours. We were able to use this wonderful device to power some of our smaller items. It was a real blessing. Unfortunately, we had a minor issue when it discontinued working. The fuses were all in tact and it just stopped. I think it was a fluke. Upon notifying the supplier of this product through Amazon, they were absolutely wonderful and stood behind their product 100%. I highly recommend this company and their product. Electronics can be very finicky and I never expect all of the technology I use to work perfectly. That’s the reason warranty service and reputable vendors are so important when it comes to electronics devices. I highly recommend this company and this product as both have performed as expected and even exceeded expectations in the area of customer service!

This inverter is exactly what I needed. It runs my small coffee pot for winter construction jobs and keeps the Crock-Pot warm between stops during the holidays. The outside of the inverter is a red anodized aluminum housing that works as a heatsink, which is great because then the fan doesn't run while powering small loads. When I first got this, I put it to the test and ran my small coffee pot (720w) and a soldering iron (30w) for a solid 15 minutes and it worked like a champ, and wasn't even hot to the touch. As for the output, I am less impressed (but is still plenty good for what I need) the output voltage is very dependent on the battery voltage, and the output is rather noisy(electrically, but most modified sine are) when I check the frequency with my meter it shows up as 120hz. Overall good inverter and I use it for purely resistive loads so the short-comings aren't even a concern for me
