Another excellent review eNm! I always enjoy watching your no nonsense reviews! 👍👍

[@JT-lq4yd]

Very good testing and inverter. I liked the test where the voltage was tested from hot to neutral and to ground as I have one unit that will give a reading on the neutral side of around 60 volts.

[@user-gz6io6rb5c]

Its very nice product, nice ,if I am going to buy one, will buy this one ,thanks for your sharing.

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

Very thorough review

[@Leaptrend]

Please accept our deepest thanks for providing such invaluable review video. Your exceptional clarity, unbiased perspective, and comprehensive approach in the review were truly commendable. The effort and time you invested in testing and reviewing our Pure Sine Wave Inverter were evident in every detail, and we were truly impressed by your expertise and attention to the nuances.

[@user-gz6io6rb5c]

You're welcome. Your product performed very well, especially for the price range.

Perfect video for what I wanted to see

[@davef.2329]

Had me with the inverter up to the point of soldered-in-only fuse replacement. I have this, branded with the aqua-blue paint and it does work well, though. Thanks.

[@electronicsNmore]

I agree that they should have had a socket for the fuses, but you have to realize that you're supposed to have a 300 amp fuse after the battery connected to the inverter. If you do that, you should never blow the internal fuses.

[@craignehring]

Nice review, I have a low frequency inverter that I still use that actually uses off the shelf GFCI outlet It is made in Minnesota

very good video on testing an inverter i am sad it dont have surge power of 6000 or running power at 3000

[@InTheDirtAgain]

Appreciate the review. Haven't seen many inverters with a GFCI built into them. I like the added protection, but don't know how it would actually work in my situation. My RV always trips the outside GFCI outlets on my house whenever I plug it in. Doesn't matter if all the RV circuit breakers are shut off. Have heard this is a common problem and everyone recommends not plugging into a GFCI outlet. Looking for an inverter that I can mount in a storage bay and plug my RV into directly when boondocking (with plenty of solar, of course). The GFCI on this unit concerns me......

[@jjames5475]

Can you please tell me " The Idle Draw In Watts "... Thank You 🙏

[@guyztruth4593]

Looks like a nice product. Only issue I see is that the fuses are soldered in. What's the point of a fuse if you can't change them if needed?

[@electronicsNmore]

Compared to other inverters I've tested, it did very well. I agree they should have sockets to put the fuses in. You also have to realize that you're supposed to use a 300 amp fuse with this inverter. If you do that, the internal fuses should never be able to blow. Thanks for watching!

[@100vg]

Nice. I would have thought a Pure Sine Wave Inverter with a GFCI would cost a lot more than $288.68! Looks like a clean build inside, too. It's a shame that you can't get 3000W continuous, unless maybe it depends on the devices connected, but for a Pure Sine Wave Inverter, I guess ~2500W is OK. Thanks, Scoptt.

[@electronicsNmore]

Still worth the money for 2500W continuous. Glad you like the video

[@100vg]

@@electronicsNmore Agreed.

[@jjames5475]

AT what WATTAGE DOES THE FAN COME ON .. ?? Thank You 🙏

[@Luc_Skywalker]

Just out of curiosity, would the performance be equal if the GFCI was working at the 50 mark instead of 90? It sounded like from what you where saying, is that this company sacrifice customers safety for better performance.

[@robertrice4441]

Your initial comments in reviewing the manual, indicated that the output was 110 VAC. Yet your testing indicated 120 VAC. Was this just a fluke or do these units as a whole have an 120 VAC output?

[@Jim.D]

A critical stat that I would like to know is idle current that the inverter uses with no load on it, some are hogs. 6 to 8 watts are acceptable.

[@electronicsNmore]

That was shown in the video

[@johntalbert8227]

[@kuntryboy2071]

So would this be able to handle 2 speakers 2 sub for a mobile dj instead of a generator???

[@joeydelgado6119]

Depending on your power demands. I don’t know what you’re running, but it will definitely run my Altos and Turbosound subs or my Crown XLi1500 and a couple of subs. Only issue you’re gonna run into is toting a large enough battery bank to power the equipment long enough for a gig. I ended up getting a Generac 2200i inverter generator because it was so much easier and a gallon of gas was enough to get me thru a 7 hour gig on Eco mode. It is super quiet so it was only about 15 feet away from equipment. Most people don’t even realize it’s there. I do recommend a power conditioner for extra protection of equipment.

[@kuntryboy2071]

@joeydelgado6119 yeah I'm running 2 Altos TS312 & 2 Bose Sub 2s...I have a Honda EU1000i but we use it for tail gates for tvs but I need something my my system. I was thinking of LiFePO4 Redodo but really unsure. Tryna learn this setup and see if it's worth it or just get a generator

[@davegeorge7094]

Drill press C start motors are tough to start.

[@electronicsNmore]

I could see the drill presses in a shop, I have a smaller one that's no problem to start.

[@suiterbug]

It's been my understanding that the max wattage limit for any inverter you buy to use in an 18 wheeler should be no more than 2,500 Watt.. as it will shorten the life of your batteries. Just what I've been told, honestly I've never done the math 😅

[@electronicsNmore]

Using a very heavy load for long periods of time can shorten the life of any battery.

[@letenof]

What is the amperage of the alternator ? Can it sustain 2.5kW ?

[@suiterbug]

@@letenof Good question, as I said, I haven't done the math on it and since I sold my truck last July I would have to look up all the info. But it shouldn't be that hard to find for anyone to find out.

[@dennisqwertyuiop]

i have a new gas furnace,would it run and the blower notor?

[@electronicsNmore]

I don't see any reason why you couldn't . Blower motors usually only draw a few amps

[@dans5595]

why the Li battery? i would want to hook this up to my SUV battery to power electric kitchen appliances at a picnic site.

[@electronicsNmore]

You can use whichever battery you desire to power the inverter. Thanks for watching!

[@JT-lq4yd]

Don't hook up this inverter to the car battery, you will get a reduced life out of the starter motor, battery and alternator. The battery used for the test is better suited as the voltage drop is much lower.

[@dans5595]

@@JT-lq4yd is there a product similar to this that can be installed in a conventional motor vehicle, and run it off the battery, and run the car to top off the battery, without the problems you noted? you said it could be used in an RV. i'm not an RV-er. is it typical to have 12v Li battery in an RV? how can i get a power inverter of this capacity to work at a picnic site, like i originally said?

[@JT-lq4yd]

@@dans5595 There are devices that work, pricey, but are available. eNm has reviewed Power Stations, they are just a battery, power inverter, charging circuit and some USB ports. The other is exactly the way it was showed in the video, a power inverter and batteries. I just don't recommend charging high amp hour capacity batteries using the car's stock charging system.

[@budmartin3344]

Do you know how much power your appliances require?

[@davegeorge7094]

You would pay at least 60 more if it used one 360amp fuse I figure. 12, 30s OK with me.

[@electronicsNmore]

Actually anl, and mega fuses are very inexpensive $15 you can get a 300A fuse in a holder

[@davegeorge7094]

@@electronicsNmore we are talking about production bottom line cost, very involved because of politics, etc..

fake voltage. 120v is not actual. multimeters don't lie and when the voltage does drop led lights flicker not good.
