Just bought a 1500W one to run a freezer because it has an 80W draw when on, but a massive 1000W to start up. Tip- use a plug in wattmeter to find the Maximum draw your appliance has before buying an inverter to run it.
Thank you for doing the review for this company. After seeing this video I’m going to return the 2k watts. I really want my money’s worth and longer term.
If you want something good that’s long-term you can spend about 2 to 3000 on an equivalent inverter that is really durable so that giant cost these cheap ones are definitely worth it sometimes but if you want your money is worth then you are paying a lot more more for the energy
I use some Bestek inverters myself. Pretty good value. I think this one is worth checking out as well, so thanks for the review. Inverters in this size range are perfect for running hand mixers, coffee grinders, smoothie blenders, mini food processors (maybe even full sized ones), 4 or 5 20" box fans at one time, CPAP machine, countless LED bulbs and, not that they are especially efficient in and of themselves, but they will run those low power items more efficiently and with less power waste than if you ran the same little device on a 3500 watt inverter. And those sort of gadgets don't really need a perfect sine wave anyway. BTW, the pulsing that you noticed in your heater is not likely to harm it. It's just so simply constructed that there isn't much that can go wrong. It's basically a toaster with a computer fan to blow air through it. Many small electric tools will run at under 500 watts also. Dremmels, jigsaws, 1/4" drills, palm sanders, etc. I've been a proponent of keeping a small inverter like this attached to my emergency backup power rack, specifically to run small loads on, to keep from using the "Big" inverter. Most folks seem to plan for plugging everything into one big inverter, but I think having at least one small one installed as well just makes more sense.
I've just bought the 600w pure sine. Powers a 32" 65w LCD TV with ease..and charged a phone with the output saying 5w at 1% per minute. Bought it for a camper..with a 100h battery..
Seems like a pretty solid little inverter. Pair it with an inexpensive charge controller and a used deep cycle battery and it could definitely give you some lights and fans during a power outage
It is really important to know if these inverters that yes they can take the rating but they will heat up and you may have to wattage continuously or not draw it all the time but if you want that can run things continuously they cost thousands because they are meant for supplying whole building buildings even if they are low power
The unloaded voltage would have been good to know too. I live in Australia and bought a cheaper 110-120v 600w pure sine wave 12v inverter to get 60hz. Finding a dedicated 240v to 120v drop down inverter which converts 50hz to 60hz aswell is rare and very expensive. 60Hz needed to test motorized 60hz electric clocks and older 60hz turntables, etc. My inverter tested 120.6 volts running very light loads on items mentioned. My multimeter just displays Hz, not a graph. I need to get one with a graph display like yours.
Hey! Thanks for this cool vid! I have a couple bigger inverters on my boat. But all MSW. These are okay except for my electric blanket. The blanket's draw is low (so good on boat batteries), but it does not like MSW. I am looking for budget pure sine wave primarily to run the electric blanket. You showed the pure sine wave of this Lvyuan and said it is "not perfect". Is it good enough to run the blanket you think? Also, any ideas on some solution/hack to run this blanket on MSW?
I wonder what the no load power draw is? They don't state in in their specs. Also it looks like the USB is on even with the switch off, that would worry me if used in a vehicle as it might drain the battery. I think if people can afford it go for a Victron, they are more expensive but they keep their resale value well.
I like how you do your testing . i would love to see a test on Xijia 600 watt. Pure sine inverter . i seen others doing the bigger Xijia. Inverter but never seen anyone do the 600 watt version . i know the 600 watt version does not have any volt or watt meters on it but i dont care . i would love to see what it can do and the stand by current I know the bigger they are the more stand by current they consum even nothing is plug in to the unit.
Bestek tried & True. This one seems like a fire 🔥 hazard since it seems like the Safety cut off doesn’t even work. Just my opinion. Spend the extra $10 & not start a fire 🔥
Are these conductors really the stage2 full copper? I have Lvyuan 24V 4000W/8000W inverter and it has stage1 aluminum wires with copper surface conductors.
Hey, what inverter do you recommend to power my network electronics (POE SWITCH, OPNSENSE ROUTER, INTERNET ONT, NVR) all of them pulling 90w peak. I need a truly pure sine wave inverter around 400-500w. Should I go with a victron? What other decent less expensive brands do you recommend?
Looking for true PSW too, to run an electric blanket which doesn't run on any inverter I've tired. Super finicky! But I want to keep cost low for an inverter to run just one device. Please, if you would, lemme know here what you find, thanks!
@1:04 Yeah those "posts" aren't that great alot of fellers will strip out those, been there done that. They never seem to stay tight and if it's moved around any (being it's "portable") then a man is constantly trying to keep them tight. I use a glow plug from a diesel engine as a resistor, I'm more of a mechanic than electrical but it works great without having to buy a resistor, and well the glow plug is a bit cheaper than the resistor. Thanks for the show I'm working on building out a water generation setup and this is one inverter I was looking at for running the lights in the house which are all LEDs so nothing heavy. Rather than using 1 large inverter I'm going for several small and med sized ones to run separate rooms/circuits so that if something fails the whole house ain't off.
Have you tried high wattage of this inverter. I want to buy 3500/7000. But worried about it’s continued power. 3500watt inverter is above the Air conditioner watt 2200watt. I have other appliances iron washing machine fridge
Thanks for reply. What I meant to ask was if I'm running a 500 watt amp should I buy a 600 watt so I have headroom and not using up 100 percent capacity of inverter.
These inverters are rubbish i bought a 5000w pure sin wave it has a 2500w power capacity i put a 1500w item to it on 2 125ah battery each making it a total of 250ah and it didn't even power 1500w waste of money
Those freezer/fridge compressors pull high surge wattage, even if the continuous power draw is low. Have to get inverter with high surge watt rating. My fridge is super low wattage

Thanks for the review, it's a little small for my needs, but there is probably someone out there that needs this inverter.

Any chance you tried an electric blanket? These new blankets are super low draw, but they won't run on any modified sine wave inverter I've tried.

Which inverter is the best to power laptop, internet modem and small refrigerator, on the cheaper side?

The low voltage of 106 broke my trust. It probably went lower when you had the heater plugged into it.

I have not tried the higher wattage of this brand. Giandel inverters are very nice for higher wattage inverters
@@GearGadgetReviews all right thanks
A lot of those start out at 110 volts. That sucker got hot!
It did for sure
That’s my number one concern.
Can it stay on for days if I was to connect fish tanks to it ?
Personally, I would not
👍👍
👍🏻
Is it better than the bestek 300 watt?
I honestly prefer the Bestek 500. I have not tried out the Bestek 300 yet though.
Is it ok to buy it for my 230W gaming laptop ?
Is it better than bestek 500w?
I’d go with the Bestek
@@GearGadgetReviews bestek waves, a little bit better?
So if you want to run 500 watts for 2 hours should you buy a 1000watt ?
No. The length of time all depends on the battery source and how large it is, not the inverter.
Thanks for reply. What I meant to ask was if I'm running a 500 watt amp should I buy a 600 watt so I have headroom and not using up 100 percent capacity of inverter.
I’d go with at least a 1000 watt inverter if you are planning on running 500 watts
Suggest a continuous power 500Watt inverter with a battery capacity over 10Ah, and the voltage of the inverter and battery should the same.
Looking at a 600w pure sine wave inverter, would it power a 500w travel kettle? Think the kettle takes 8-10mins to boil....
Mais esquil charge et après être utilisé pour pour brancher les appareils
Get BELTTT and test it if possible
👍🏻
YES ! " NOT MORE THAN 50 % "
👍🏻
please send me brand off your mic
It’s a Rode wireless mic
Ha, ha, pronouncing Chinese words is a bit difficult....
😂👍🏻
These inverters are rubbish i bought a 5000w pure sin wave it has a 2500w power capacity i put a 1500w item to it on 2 125ah battery each making it a total of 250ah and it didn't even power 1500w waste of money
Totally rubbish.cannot start a small freezer of 80 watts......
Must be a bad one.
@@GearGadgetReviews i wait an answer from the dealer.I ve send him a couple of videos.
@@GearGadgetReviews Its normal, inrush current of freezer is very high, and those units cannot handle that. 1000W from this brand might work well.
Those freezer/fridge compressors pull high surge wattage, even if the continuous power draw is low. Have to get inverter with high surge watt rating. My fridge is super low wattage
