Ampeak 2000W Power Inverter 6.2A Dual USB Ports 3AC Outlets Stable Voltage Output Inverter DC 12V to AC 120V 17 Protections for Truck, Hurricane, Rv

I purchased this 1500 watt modified sine wave inverter for my solar generator build. It is a compact size inverter, and fits well within my system. This inverter has a remote control on/off system (Free with this purchase), which is attached to a phone line. It has three sockets, two USB ports and a cigarette lighter port.Positives: it is a modified sine inverter that peaks at 3,000 watts. It has an easy view display which shows battery life and power gauge. It has a remote unit which only has, on/off function. It appears to be well made and it is compact. It has 3 sockets 2 USB ports. Functions well at this time. It is reasonably priced for a modified sign wave inverter. This is a well made inverter with high quality cables. I have purchased several of these.Negatives: Does not come with a USB-C input. No other issues noted.

Updated 6/16/22Another year and still no problems. I have it connected to two Group 27 RV batteries in parallel. Have been to Yosemite and many sites in SoCal with no hookups and this is still doing the job. I discovered another appliance that doesn't like square wave AC. It's a travel size hair dryer with an AC-DC converter built into it. The converter buzzes when plugged in even if the hair dryer is switched off.Updated 6/7/21Bought July 2019 for my Class C RV. Have camped about 60 dates since then with no issues. This runs the coffee maker, the RV microwave, the DVD/TV combo, laptop, and cell phone charger. The only appliance so far that doesn't seem to like the modified sine wave is the Waterpik water flosser. Its motor does not sound as powerful as it does plugged in at home although it still works.Some reviewers complain about the lack of cables but they didn't look hard enough. The box has what amounts to a false bottom beneath which is a bag containing the cables. There is also a small instruction booklet that explains what happens if you try to draw too many amps out of your storage battery before recharging it. If the battery voltage drops too low then the inverter starts beeping. Keep on drawing and it soon cuts out altogether to save your battery from a ruinous discharge. The remote control switch (sold separately) is very handy in my RV. I keep the inverter and battery in the utility bay and turn it on and off from inside the RV. My battery is always being recharged by a solar panel on the RV roof, even when underway, so there is usually enough AC to run the coffee maker and TV/DVD combo at camp sites with no hookups or restrictive generator hours.

Works

This is a review of the 1500W version (6.2A).I work out of a vehicle primarily and have a laptop onboard with a touchscreen monitor & keyboard that's mounted in the cab. This inverter wires directly to the battery terminals, which can be tricky for most people. Hooking it up is the easy part, but running the cabling can be quite tricky (if you're going to do a more permanent installation, you'd run it through the firewall with longer cables - just make sure they're the 4 gauge). Luckily, the vehicle I operate has the battery in the trunk, so I've got the inverter velcro'd in the trunk & cables attached to the battery posts. I then use a heavy-duty extension cable that's snaked in under the side panels up to the front where I've got the monitor plugged in. In the trunk, I've got a power strip hooked into the inverter that has the laptop plugged in & the extension cable.So, ultimately, with all of that powered, I use about 28-29W of power consumption according to the screen. That's... incredibly low for what I'm running. Very impressive. That's with the computer running fully, plugged in, monitor on, with applications in usage.If you're going to run something similar like I have, invest in the additional (sold separately) on/off remote switch. It's what plugs into that little phone-cable looking port, and then you'll run that where it's easily accessible, giving you the ability to turn it off remotely. It's incredibly useful. With my situation, I'd have to pop the trunk to turn off the inverter manually.When I'm on a site, generally I'll power down my vehicle when I'm outside of the car, so I'll hit the switch and then when I get back, I'll power it back on right quick to do some computer work. Previously used a cheaper $30 inverter on Amazon that was around 300W, but quickly found out that it didn't have the protection nor fuses, and lasted only one month of the rigorous usage I put them through as I'm constantly on the computer in the vehicle.The thing I like the most about this inverter is that it's a direct battery terminal post hookup. It's not a socket you're plugging the inverter into just to have a fuse blow for the outlet - not good! There's a ton of applications and usages people will use these for. I primarily see them used in work vehicles, especially vans that's running internal equipment (locksmiths, maintenance vehicles, contractors, etc etc).Recommended.

Great item. Works well in my boat. I use it to power a high-pressure air pump for tubes.
