LiTime 1000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter 12V DC to 120V AC Converter for RV, Truck, Off-Grid Solar Car Power Inverter with 3 AC Outlets, 5V 2.4A USB, Type-C Port, Remote Controller, 2000W Peak

I bought this to power a 700W microwave in my van. Unfortunately, 700W was the output. Input power required was 1050W, more than the capacity of this unit. My bad. While testing with the microwave, an alarm sounded and the unit stopped working. As with most electrical products, the manual says not to open the unit, but that was the only way to repair it. It turned out that 2 of the 4 internal 40A fuses blew. After replacing the fuses, the unit worked fine again, and I stopped testing it with the microwave. Bought a meal warmer to replace the microwave. Do the math before you buy. Be sure to look at the input power of a device you want to power. 1000 watts means a maximum of 8.33A at 120V. You also need to have enough battery to provide the power. By the way, the LiTime battery monitor is really nice. It shows the remaining battery capacity, as well as the current amount of charge or discharge. I'm using the inverter with the battery monitor and a 100Ah LiTime Mini battery.

Goods: The display accurately shows the battery voltage, inverter voltage, and wattage. The remote works well. The fan only kicks on when it's drawing a large load Bads: Does not provide 3000W, definitely not 6000W. Shuts down and beeps every time I try to run the AC (1500W) Shuts down and restarts every time I try to run the Microwave (1300W) My inverter is connected to 4x Deep Cycle batteries in parallel with a total of 360 AH storage. Each battery can supply 1000W, each has been tested. It's not the setup, it's the inverter. The inverter was outside the 30 day return window when I first tested it on my RV and noticed these issues. I tried using Amazon to initiate a return, but it has been over a week with no response.

Price was right and it’s a good inverter. Not sure if 91% efficiency is good, but that is what it gets. I do like the feature that it tells you the load converted to 120V in watts so you can estimate how long your battery should or would last. Helps calculated loss. Or in my case, how terrible the battery is.

Anyone looking into the possibility of adding solar to their home or elsewhere will soon discover there are countless products out there and much to learn before you can actually start adding components. For a DIY guy, like me, it was all consuming. The panels and battery or battery bank are pretty straight forward. Other than size, there's not a lot to it. When it comes to the inverter, it's a little more involved. Before I purchased this LiTime 3000 watt sine wave inverter, I tried two others (different manufacturer) and there was no comparison. This unit blew the others away. I currently have a load on the unit and leave it on 24/7. The other units would heat up and then a very loud cooling fan would kick in, like every three minutes. The previous units I had really struggled to deliver quiet steady power. This LiTime unit, on the other hand, is steady, quiet and still has plenty of load capacity. If you're looking for a well built, good quality inverter, I highly recommend this unit. Best wishes- dp

Update: I had it with this company. Avoid this horrible product. They reached out to me, offering a full refund and try to work with me. Well after going back and forth. From what I understand, either my product is bad or the design of inverter is bad across. But they tossing the buck. Not offering refund. I already toss boxes etc out. It was because it was working...for 7 days. I should have kept it for 25 days. I have two devices to measure peak and have a trigger limit to know if spike happens. They accused my unit having spike of over 2k..impossible. Not especially not such a low amp. I thus summit more evidence. This should be way within the working range. Unit choke and won't power my ac sometimes, to the point my ac shut down. It does not auto resume. It doesn't happen all the time. All signs point to inverter. They are blaming it on battery and ac now. Telling me to contact other companies instead. ------ Setup is 12V 280Ah to power a window AC. Avg draw is 300W, high is 650W. Even if you account for start leak, it should be fine if you consider this is a 1000W inverter with surge of 2000W. So system struggle to deliver power. Some case my ac unit would just shut down. Unable to measure sine wave. I assume it is pure. No Load Power Consumption is good. I can't measure shunt, but I would assume the unit is "Efficiency：91%".

The performance of this inverter is amazing!! I have it in my off grid cabin and it will power all the lights, a mid size fridge, a full size fridge and a kurig coffee maker. The coffee maker draws 120 amps at 12 volts and that’s enough to kick on the cooling fans inside this unit. If you’re in the same room as the inverter, it will wake you up!

Since it was new it was reluctant to power on. When you press the power button, on either the inverter or the remote, it would flash some cryptic symbols and letters on the screen and then shut off. If you kept pressing the power button it would eventually stay on and work fine. Yesterday I pressed the power button and it popped, threw sparks, and smoked. It kept doing that until I was able to get the input power shut off. I rarely used this (i bet it has less than 50 hours use and never drew more than 1000w), that's why I put up with the power up issue. It's in an inconvenient place to uninstall so I just put it off. Now it's out of warranty. EDIT- The input was connected to a LiTime 200APlus battery and there was nothing plugged into the output. It had NO load. I have their 200Ah battery, 20A charger, and fuse block and those are great. This just had issues that I should have addressed sooner.

Muy buen producto
