Renogy 2000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter 12V DC to 120V AC Converter for Home, RV, Truck, Off-Grid Solar Power Inverter 12V to 110V with Built-in 5V/2.1A USB/Hardwire Port, Remote Controller

Let's be clear; there are multiple cheaper, poorly made and unreliable alternatives to this Renogy. This was installed on a sailboat, and provides our only 110V current when we're offshore. I needed something reliable and trustworthy. Expensive? Definitely. Well-made, with good components, excellent fit and finish, and the ability to power my toaster and coffee maker, and the TV at night, and whatever else needs to run off 110V when we're away from the marina. Easy installation, although beware; the included battery cables are (of excellent quality) short at about 3 feet. I had to buy and make longer ones.

so far so good

Good quality. However I was a little disappointed that it would not run a 10 amp vacuumn. It’s supposed to be 2000 watts with a 4000 watt surge. No Bueno. Wish I would have bought the 3000 watt unit.

So many Inverters out there and I've bought the junky ones as well. I blew of 2 other ones already so I tried this one.I believe for the price this one offers some quality parts for the price.I use it in the RV, runs hair dryer(1875watt) microwave and anything for 110v plug.I tried running my ac which will run on 110v however the surge kicks out the inverter. It wasn't a deal breaker and Ive had 6000watt Inverters(CLAIMED) that wouldnt run it either. I guess a home breaker must allow quite a lot of surge power since it will run on a home 15 amp.. But haven't found any inverters that will run it.Its quiet and has long remote cord,It also trips and easily resets. < cheap ones just fry,,,It's nice to have our RV have everything without a generator. Just solar, never need to plug in unless you need ACHope it lasts!! But I think for the price its the best one on AMAZON right now.

Preface: I'm using this in a boat which is acceptable but not ideal. It has to do with the way the neutral and ground are connected. However, this is more of an issue with combo interval/charger units, and since this is strictly an inverter that gets turned off when we're finished with it, that makes it acceptable. Please consult a qualified marine electrician. Product evaluation: We are very happy with this inverter. The instructions are clear and it works as described. We have purposely purchased appliances that are lower wattage so that it can run 2-3 of them at once. As a test, I used it to heat a tank of water on the boat and it did the job. If the batteries dip below about 11.5 volts, it will keep working but start beeping. As you may know, flooded batteries (which we have) can drop down to 11.5 volts for a short period without harming them. Once the load is taken off, they generally "recover" to well over 12 volts. While the inverter comes with a wired remote on-off switch, we do not use it. As should always be installed, we have a rotary inverter power cut-off switch between the battery bank and the inverter. We simply leave the power switch on the inverter housing in the on position, then use the rotary switch to turn it on and off. We also installed a 250amp fuse between the battery and the rotory switch. Do not use the inverter without a proper fuse. The inverter comes with 2 battery cables but they were not adequate gauge for our application. There are tables online that will tell you for a given load and length of wire run what gauge you need. Do not gloss over these details. The wires being included could lead you to believe they are all that's needed to connect the inverter to the battery, but that would leave out the fuse and cut-off switch. We have now been using the inverter for a couple of months with zero issues. Because we have it installed where we can't easily see it, we like the short beep that it makes when we power it up. It gives a similar but longer beep when powered down. No negatives to report.
