Thanks so much for explaining this to a very non tech woman who lives in the woods in her car.

Thank you so much for this review! Just bought mine today for Prime Day for only $32.99! I get it on Thursday and can't wait!

Great deal! Hope you're getting good use out of it - we use ours all the time while boondocking and also on drive days in the RV / car.

I use to use these items overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan all the time. They worked great for charging extra batteries for radios. I usually preferred a wattage of anywhere from 750-1000 watts. Good review guys.

I'm really loving this channel. I've seen lots of good stuff. Thanks to all of you.

Hey thanks and you're welcome!

Thank you - this was the review I needed to understand the product and buy the correct item.

I love it ! Thanks for the review ! I'll buy one. I have a modified wave inverter but I need a pure sine one.

Looks like a neat little piece of equipment to have. Thanks for sharing!

Good stuff. Thanks

The Besttek is good. I found a 12 to Lenova W550S (my laptop) adapter that runs the laptop directly from battery without the inverter. It takes a cigarette light plug or in my case directly connected to the battery terminals of the Bestek. All cases covered. Over and out.

This is able to run my tv, led lights, printer and charge my laptop all at the same time at about 250 watts! Best part is the cooling fan only stays on for a minute or two then shuts off for another 4-6 minutes.

FYI----AMAZON HAS IT ON THEIR LIGHTING DEAL TODAY ON PRIME!!! FOR $27.99 Just bought mine 😊 Thanks Mark and Julie!

Great video guys! Wondering if you've ever used that device to run a tv and if so for how many hours at a time? Thx!!!

I've been wanting one of these to run my crockpot while we travel. I know I would need one with more wattage, but didn't know how to figure that into a crockpot. I'd love to have solar one day. I don't think hubby is all that interested. He loves the comforts of an RV park. Maybe I should say Resort! LOL

Haha. Yes I don't know if they make these big enough to run a crockpot while driving! That would require a genny I expect. I usually make my meals in a crockpot before we leave and just heat up when we get there. I've only cooked once while driving - and that was a chicken pot pie in the convection oven! Running the generator the whole way to use a crockpot would be an expensive meal!

DWDinAtlanta it’s only 300 watt😉 not for big appliances

The USB ports are powered on when the inverter switch is off. I just noticed this last night on mine. This runs a CPAP unit just fine even with high heat/humidity setting.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the C-PAP.

I purchased an inverter with square wave and when I plugged my laptop I get a buzzing sound from the power brick. Since this only seems to be available online I'm hoping it really does work well with converting for use with a high-end laptop. Are you sure your laptops or bigger electronics are not being damage by this inverter?

Many thanks for this. Can you have the inverter plugged in while the car engine is running, either when the car is in motion or stationary? If so, can you have the devices you are charging plugged in to the inverter while the inverter is plugged into the running motor/engine?

Does the inverter power on automatically when the vehicle powers "on", or do you need to power it on manually?

Wow!

I bought this also. The plug gets heated whenever I use it. Do you know what the problem is? Can I still use it? Thanks.

what does the back look like, and how would I get a cord to go from the inverter to the battery, since most 12v plugs are only going to be 15A to get more then 180watts out of this thing it would have to get run directly to the battery?

High end appliances are usually fine since they have ac to dc rectifiers. It’s the cheap things like fans, fridges, heaters, hairdryers and microwaves that have ac motors that need to be worried about.

Thanks for the review, hope Mark is feeling better. When you use this, do you have to worry about running down your coach battery? Thanks ~ Steve

Hi Steve, yes it will run down the coach battery but not by much - we recharged it with our generator - but if you look at today's review on our solar suitcase, you will see we can now minimize genny use and this solar solution is charging our coach! batteries nicely! Doing well - thanks for your thoughts.

Nice general review It has some cons, like integrated + solded Fuse

It can be modified with an external circuit breaker. Not a deal breaker for me considering the price.

Hi ! Thanks for sharing. I picked up 1 of these with the idea of leaving it on my small fridge (80 to 100 watts) and buying an additional 600 watt PSW to run my TV and DVD in the evening ( approx 400 ). Do you think that I would save any battery life as apposed to having my 1000 RSW watt running 24/7 !!t hanks Don!!

It won't take the starting current of the fridge which is well over 300 watts. The red fault light comes on and the inverter quits. My fridge runs at 85 watts so the 1000 watt Renogy pure sine wave unit is the one I use to power the fridge. The cooling fan never comes on when the fridge is running.

but the inverter doesn't have a battery so it is fully dependent on your car battery?

Does a power converter store electricity, like a power bank?

Podrá mantener un estero de 230w continuamente?

Does anyone know what size fuse i would need for this item if I am running it off of an auxillary battery system?

What if I want a higher wattage output?

How long will this take to charge a 10000mAh power bank?

I have one of these. It's just okay. It's broadcasts a lot of electrical noise causing the track pads on two different models of MacBook Pros (2011 and 2016) to act extremely erratically. This renders the computers usable only for typing, web surfing, playing videos-but no graphics, spreadsheet entry can be difficult selecting a cell. The computers didn't have to be plugged into the inverter (via the powerblock) . I don't get why people do these reviews holding the thing in their hand instead of using it. An improvement on the ten minutes of obsessive 'de-boxing' nonsense. This is a device that is supposed to perform a certain way. As a power source, simple enough. What are the issues with an inverter? Full sine wave verses non-full sine. Okay, so don't burn out an electronic device, but do something else. Perhaps Road Gear Reviews's Windows laptops don't have the track pad issue. There's probably a very good reason why Amazon dropped the price on this item and then discontinued it.

Hm, 2 months after your comment and Amazon continues to sell it. There are several reviewers who have put these on o-scopes and confirmed the output is pretty clean - especially compared to higher priced competition. Perhaps you got a bad unit, or you're using one of those replacement Apple Magsafe adapters that are notoriously bad? If not, have you tried putting a toroid on the power to see if it reduces the effect?

Lol people complaining because it won’t run their hair driers, blenders, crock pots and other high draw things. It’s only 300w use your head. Buy a bigger inverter if you run those things.

@RoadGearReviews

Thank you. Yes.... if you want to run high draw items you will need a VERY different inverter and a substantial power source.

I did it with the help of Avasva solutions.

A single solar panel and controller costs as much as your inverter not really all that expensive considering all the devices you have shown cost 10x more.
