LiTime 1000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter 12V DC to 120V AC Converter for Home, RV, Truck, Camping, Built-in 2 AC Outlets, Off-Grid Solar Power Inverter with LCD Display Showing Real-time Status

I've checked many places, both local and online and was skeptical with some online item quality but this matched it's standard in terms of value for money, material quality, it's functionality, power output, noise quality, easy to use display and shut off point

Pleasantly surprised. I live off grid in the desert full time. I got this inverter to replace a one sold by a discount tool company who's name involves ships and freight that quit working over less than a year. So far I'm loving this LiTime 3000W inverter. Here in the desert at Bombay each this thing is a must in order to run my air conditioning via solar. Despite what other reviewers say, the fan noise really isn't that bad. I have the inverter mounted in the front lower pass-thru storage compartment of my trailer. The fan only kicks on occasionally - even while running a 12,000 btu mini split in triple digit summer heat. At nighttime the fan almost never kicks it. It's WAY quieter than the HF one and my mini split is running great.

Folks seem to have great luck with this brand so I took a gamble as I have mostly been a fan of brand "E-W" and have had issues lately with brand "Re" as of late. Brand V is just too large.I love the size, the features, and the price. It also has one of the best looking remote screens out there.I was also super impressed that the standby no load current was about 1/4 of the popular brand that starts with "R". This is huge. The power saving mode to come out of it also worked properly, unlike brand R. Build quality was decent. Not as good as some competitors but satisfactory. I did not do any efficiency test yet so I can't judge it's efficiency.However I was disappointed in a few things. I would gladly have paid $200 more if these things were resolved.1) The fan is super noisy, it seems to be either off or full on, no speed control and full on is crazy noisy. It kicks in somewhere over 1200W and under 1600W as 1200w load did not turn them on but 1600W load did. It needs quieter fan blades and a variable speed that reacts to inverter temperature.2) The AC terminals are a bit small but I did get 10AWG wire in there with some fiddling. They are also not well covered. It does not terminate inside the housing with a strain relief and the plastic cover to protect does not hold well. I had to tape the cover on and add electrical tape. It felt sketchy at best.3) The remote screen is on/off and back lite only. Wish I could have set things like shut off voltage or maximum current settings.4) The remote wire was about 5' shorter than wires of other brands and a bit too short for me to route from my battery box to the cabinets above. I had to extend it with an RJ-11 phone extension, which wasn't a big deal thankfully.6) The wattage reporting seems to not be accurate for lighter loads. A 600W load reported itself to be about 250W, while a 1300W load was reported as 1200W. So as the load gets larger it is more accurate.5) The cable terminals are not the standard 5/16 but rather 1/4, which makes cabling harder from the typical 5/16 battery as well as I do not believe 1/4" is enough to grab onto for this level of current. It should have been 5/16 or even 3/8"6) The instructions are very limited, not on line, and 2 attempts to contacts support via email got me nothing while both of the competing brands answered my emails quickly.

I am very satisfied with this Inverter Charger.I just put it to work yesterday for a Power Emergency system at my parent's house. I'm using this inverter charger with two LiFePO4 12V 100AH batteries to provide AC to the loads under power outages, which unfortunately are very common right now in my country (Ecuador).It worked flawlessly from the first minute. It provides clean, stable power to the loads. The switching time between the grid and the inverter is undetectable.What I like the most:It looks very solid, well finished.It's very easy to installa.It's very easy to configure.Its display is very friendly and shows the information with graphic icons, so easy to understand.My only suggestion to the manufacturer is to develop a solution (RS485 to WiFi) so that the users can remotely monitor relevant values like the voltage and current levels of the battery bank, AC output current, etc. and generate some commands to the unit.I have received excellent support from the manufacturer . Thanks a lot Reni for your commitment!, she provided me with technical information about the communications protocol that the brand uses on the RS485 port, since I am considering to develop an app in order to remote monitoring and management of this unit.I'm planning to add a couple PV panels in the future. This inverter charger includes a charge controller that will ease this add-on.I recommend LiTime and this product to every person interested in this kind of application.
