VEVOR Pure Sine Wave Inverter, 3000 Watt, DC 12V to AC 120V Power Inverter with 2 AC Outlets 2 USB Port 1 Type-C Port, LCD Display and Remote Controller for Large Home Appliances, CE FCC Certified

I have tried several inverters to power my 13.5k BTU A/C and none did the job perfectly. Some failed to start the A/C and some started it but not smoothly (clunking noises from the A/C or low voltage alarms!) This inverter perfectly starts it every time. I've had hundreds of starts on the A/C so far and not a single clunk or other noise.I also stress-tested this inverter (accidentally) by running it in extreme heat in an enclosed area. While I wouldn't recommend this, the inverter held up perfectly and operated with no issues. Meanwhile, my other electronics in that area, including a DC-DC charger and MPPT charger, shut down sporadically due to derating. The remote, as others have mentioned, uses hard to find batteries (annoying) but otherwise works well, even through several wood walls.I'll update this review if I run into issues down the road, but for now, this inverter works perfectly.

In getting this inverter and doing a few simple tests I noticed the wattage on the display was greater than the wattage of the device I was powering. I hooked a Kill-o-Watt meter up to test it and noticed around a 20% discrepancy. For example, a standard 20 inch box fan on high pulled 121 watts on the kill-o-watt, but the inverter showed 151 watts. Plugging in a few different devices and doing the math, I believe this inverter runs at around 75 to 80% of efficiency. This means that all stated wattages on the display are showing the wattage pulled from the battery, and includes heat losses during the inverter process. One should buy an inverter bigger than you need, so that you can power all of your devices. I understand it is a good practice to buy an inverter with twice the capacity that you need, so the inverter is not running at maximum. All electronic devices have mandatory labeling next to the cord, so one can easily see how much power they pull. For example, one TV pulls 50 watts, while a wifi cable modem (10 watts), fan (120 watts), coffee maker (1025 watts) or window air conditioner (1250 Watts) pull different amounts. I purchased this inverter to serve as an emergency back power source, a cheaper alternative to an Ecoflow Power Station, those devices normally display the AC power out instead of the DC power in on the wattage display. I am happy for the display and data, but just want everyone to understand how this functionality works.

This inverter does the job and works well. One thing I noticed is that instead of 120vac on one phase you may see in a utility line, it actually puts out 120v peak to peak being 60vac on the positive line and -60vac on the neutral line.Thats all fine, but what I found is that not all of the 3 plugs are consistently wired. So if you combine 2 of the plugs to maximize amperage output, if the phases are not aligned you end up with an immediate short and blow the fuses.So if you combine the circuits for say, an AC unit that may exceed 15amps, you will want to check the plug wires and ensure there is not a potential voltage between the same plug sockets.I had 2 plugs wired one way, and 1 wired the opposite. If your using the plug individually its not an issue.

Works well for what I've used it for. Remote function and info screen are nice.

So far, so good! I had a couple low priced inverters that were obviously NOT putting out what they claimed they were. I HAD to buy another, but didn't have the funds to dish out for a more expensive, proven name-brand... This one won in my searching comparisons, so all I could do is keep my fingers crossed till I could hook it up to my home.It came FAST, was super easy to replace on my power station wall, and then I turned it on, and plugged my little home into it... YESSSS Completely quiet, the fan has come on only one time in the 3 days since I installed it, and it is so much more quiet than the other ones were. It supplies the perfect power to run everything in my tiny home, and even my fridge is running again... the other (also a pure sine wave) was erratic, and almost destroyed my fridge, but this new inverter has balanced the controls to my fridge and it is now running perfectly. I was going to have to replace the fridge, but not now! VEVOR HAS MY VOTE! ...and I've been running on solar for 8 years now. LOVE THIS ONE!

Will not run my microwave (900 watts). Will not run coffee maker (1200 watts). Will not run hot plate (1400 watts). I was careful to have only one appliance plugged in at a time. Inverter would work for about 20 seconds then just give up and shut off completely. It would restart about 10 seconds later. It is supposedly rated for 3000 watts continuous. It will run my lights (10 watts each so 60 watts total) So if you only need less than 500 watts then this expensive piece of junk will do the job I guess.

I love this inverter, it’s well worth the extra money to get the pure sign wave unit. I have loaded this up and it handles everything perfectly. Plug a window a/c unit in. No more hum like the modified sign wave.

Seems to work. Hooked it up to a car battery and powered a small device. Oddly, the remote panel readout was showing a different voltage than the readout on the unit.
