Great inverter hard wired straight to my leisure battery works great every time only a small fan noise when drawing powe
Update 21 May. Just had an email from Bestek saying that a replacement is on the way to me so I am giving the 5 stars back both for product quality and customer service even if it took a little time. Thank you Monica at Bestek.
Update 03/05/2018
I’m afraid that after an initial positive response from Monica at bestek they did not follow up and are ignoring my emails. So……. ?
Update 18 04 2018. Having read the reviews on the other inverters I still think this item is good and have purchased a second one to replace the first. Meanwhile I have made contact with the manufacturers regarding the blown one and things are sounding positive. Fingers crossed!
Important update! 03/03/2018
Just under 5 months old and failed with burning smell, crackling and sparks inside. The legs have burned off two off the power mosfets. It seems that am out of the return window now.
Looks and feels like a quality product. Seems to be working very well. I bought this mainly to power the domestic fridge freezer in my camper van. The running wattage of a fridge is normally around 75 watts but the start up can 10 times or more so I needed something with guts and am very pleased to say that this inverter has guts. I have owned a fair few inverters over time and must say this is the best so far.
Inverter che fa il suo lavoro, per chi non ha esigenze esagerate va pi che bene! Servizio di spedizione amazon velocissima, come sempre!
Very compact, cable connectors fit well, and safely, for Low power consumption Lighter connector is ok, but I would use bulldog clips straight on Battery for High power usage
Superb product I use this to run a water pump to collect sea water for marine fish. Easy and simple instal and works as it should. I’ve only used it once but can’t fault it.
Bought for backup power and runs my jigsaw no problem seems fine
Installato sulla Caravan e collegato sotto batteria 100 ah.
In viaggio riesce a far funzionare il frigor della roulotte senza presentare problemi.
Prodotto altamente consigliato.
Mi sono trovato molto bene con questo inverter, l’ho usato poco ma sembra di qualit , inoltre i 1000W sono nominali, di picco pu sopportare 2000W.
Cambiado por otro q no funciona. Cumple perfectamente con sus caractersticas. Buena calidad y muy buen servicio de atencin al cliente. Lo recomiendo. Buena marca
Powering a freezer off this in a van :o) Great product!
Awesome bit of kit. Used this with a lesuire battery when we were camping and ran a cool box , tv and playstation . Really happy with it.
L’ho utilizzato per un viaggio in macchina di 10 ore con attaccati contemporaneamente WII U, Notebook I7 e Pad per tutto il viaggio senza farlo riposare nemmeno un minuto. Era appena tiepido. Lo consiglio vivamente
arrived quickly and in perfect working order. very happy customer.
El equipo funciona muy bien.
Lo utilizo para ser autnomo con mi coche sin necesidad de un grupo electrgeno.
Dispone de muchos sistemas de proteccin. De hecho, el protector que hace que salte el inversor si la batera baja de los 12 v (muy til para que no te deje tirado el coche) ha hecho que se pare el inversor. Cuando la batera ha superado los 12 V se rearma automticamente y contina funcionando. Lo comento para que se equipe el coche con una batera grande o no se quiera utilizar el aire acondicionado, las luces, el inversor a la vez.
Excellent service, product looks good, just need to test it.
Arrived quickly, works with everything from Hair Dyer, Straighteners and Laptop all of which tripped out my 300W inverter.
Product arrived on time , very well presented , matches the description given by the seller , product now hard wired into my truck and works very well and looks great too , very happy.
Ottimo. Ho letto quasi tutte le recensioni e NON ho riscontrato problemi ai fusibili, scintille durante il funzionamento o fumo/puzzo durante l’utilizzo. Provato con carico da 750 Watt (trapano). Consigliato.
Item arrived quickly, have used it a few times when camping. Works great with a travel kettle (600w) when using battery clamps. Highly recommended
Hallo,
Habe mir den Wechselrichter vor ungefhr einem Jahr fr eine Solar-Inselanlage gekauft.
Ein LCD-TV mit 150w und ein PC Monitor mit 80w konnten hier ohne Probleme betrieben werden.
Baumaschinen wie z.B. Fuchsschwanz mit ~710w oder Schlagbohrer mit 800w haben auch keine Probleme gemacht. Evtl. ist ein leichtes Summen des Motors vom jeweiligen Gert bei halbgedrckter Vorschubtaste zu hren – ich vermute dies liegt an der nicht-Sinusspannung.
Staubsauger mit 1000w oder sogar 1100w waren kurzzeitig fr 5 Minuten auch ohne Probleme mglich
Der Wechselrichter dreht bei 700w Dauerlast mit der Drehzahl des Lfters merklich hoch was aber bei Aussenarbeiten vermutlich nicht weiter strt. Der Lfter ist im Innenraum bei +500w aber deutlich hrbar falls es keine bertnenden Nebengerusche gibt.
Bei 150w ist nach 4 Stunden immer noch kein Lfter angegangen.
Qualitt ist vllig ok und es gab bis heute keinen Ausfall.
Nachtrag 02.2020:
Gert luft immer noch ohne Probleme.
Weiterhin klare Kaufempfehlung.
Aguanta mucho la temperatura y funciona muy bien, por el precio va de sobrado, no lo encontraras mejor a este precio
Sin ningn problema, lo utilizo en maquinaria y va perfecto. El enchufe es universal, me cost pero pude enchufarlo. Totalmente recomendable.
Funciona perfectamente. Buena calidad. El unico pero, es q como te equivoques de polos fundes los fusibles tipo coche de 50a q no se encuentran en ningun sitio
Lo he probado, enchufando una amoladora o taladro de 1000W, y funciona correctamente segn lo anunciado sin ningn tipo de problema
Bought this product last year for my camper van and has been great.
However, somehow during the winter I managed to lose one of the connection screws.
Messaged the company asking where I could buy replacements and they have sent me 2 new screws, free of charge.
Great service, very impressed.
So far so good but only used a little. Good price.
Been using a 240 volt Jigsaw and recharging drill battery’s (24 volt and 18 volt) powers my Argos Travel Kettle a treat, all good.
Quando dici che va a ruba, in questo caso, proprio vero! L’avevo provato “al volo” e ha funzionato perfettamente. Purtroppo ho subito un furto con scasso al camper. Non lo avevo ancora fissato a parete ed stato un gioco da ragazzi (credo che i ladri lo erano davvero) rubarlo. Non pi in vendita. Documentandomi forse comprerei un inverter a onda sinusoidale pura che, per, costa di pi. Visto la fine che ha fatto son contento di aver speso una cifra pi che accettabile per un oggetto che avrebbe sostituito egregiamente l’attuale inverter da soli 300w.
Shame it doesn’t have a french plug on it apart from that it is the best 1000W power inverter i have found so far and i have tried many..
Acquistato ormai da alcuni mesi, anche non usandolo molto spesso, funziona molto bene e mi ha risolto tanti problemi legati appunto all’uso di apparecchiature elettriche in auto. Lo consiglio.
Hola ,estoy restaurando una furgoneta clasica y quiero adaptarle un inversor,
aun no lo he comprobado ,su forma y diseo me gusta , compr este inversor
porque vi un precio razonable a comparacion con otros mas caros ,mir varias
opiniones de su funcionamiento y no tuve ninguna duda en comprarlo ,al contrario
de otros que si habia bastantes quejas, en este las opiniones eran buenas as
que confiar en el un saludo
MORRIS
A well made piece of kit ,ample power for my requirements.
This this is brillz.
Mine broke after 3 weeks in France but was sent another as a replacement no questions asked.
arrivato ieri, consegna puntuale.
Prodotto sembra di buona fattura, lo ho installato facilmente e testato con un phon normale a media potenza 1300w.
Sembra reggere bene, non da segni di affaticamento e neppure partono le ventole di raffreddamento.
per ora sembra un ottimo acquisto , vedremo alla prova del tempo.
A gutsy little inverter. Struggles when overloaded by 180%. But still works! A little more expensive than some others but a quality job. Very well protected electrically and thermally. I’m very happy with it indeed.
Habe zu meiner Autarklsung im Wohnwagen, die leider nur 700 Watt abgibt und ein Peak von nur 1.5 kW aushlt, einen WR fr den Khlschrank gesucht. Der Khlschrank ist ein Equisit KB45 mit Kompressor den ich jetzt mit dem Bestek 1000W betreiben kann. Da der Bestek etwa 2.5 kW in der Spitze aushlt luft der Khlschrank sauber an! Die gesamte Lsung, Khlschrank und passenden Wechselrichter, ist immer noch wesentlich gnstiger als die speziellen Khlschrnke fr 12/220V Volt. Der Ruhestrom vom Bestek liegt bei etwa 8 Watt, sollten es wesentlich mehr sein stimmt mit dem Gert was nicht. Fr anspruchsvolle Elektrogerte wrde ich den WR nicht nehmen, dafr habe ich ja mein Kombigert das sauberen Sinusstrom liefert. Ich hoffe mit diesem Bericht einigen bei der Entscheidung geholfen zu haben. brigens habe ich den kleinen Bruder mit 400 Watt und USB Anschlssen seit 2 Jahren im fast Dauereinsatz zum Akkuladen von Gartengerten u. .Ergnzung zum WR – Mittlerweile laufen an diesem Gert noch 28 Zoll Samsung Fernseher, Toshiba Notebook, St Receiver vu solo und diverse Handyladegerte. Obwohl kein reiner Sinusstrom geliefert wird scheinen einige Netzgerte das auszugleichen. Das Gert luft jetzt schon von 2016 bis 2018. Habe jetzt zur Reserve den 2000er bestellt.
Arrived prime so was next day service.
The terminals and lead were my worry point before receiving this and had cancelled it’s big brother in favour of this one – lightning deal. No one had given any sizing of the connections or the basic cables. It gets 4 stars ONLY because of the cables. They will work but to me are not good enough and would have made this one of my all time GREAT purchases.
To help people unsure, as I was, I have given more details and how I will approach the issue. Others may have ideas but this is how I will resolve it to be a better product for my useage.
The terminal posts are M5 mm stud by 13mm length + ve and – ve, with thumb screw plastic nuts with metal insert (hexagon shaped not knurled). The cables (6mm multi strand flexi) are from edge of soldered lug (has a 6mm clearance hole for stud affixing) to where it goes into the crocodile clip sheath (spot welded???) 560mm. Not the greatest quality leads but ok for light useage and would probably advise an upgrade. Higher the better if you want a few more options, with the unit’s position (don’t forget there will be a voltage drop). I am only using the unit for camping with a 110AH leisure battery, but will probably make a set of leads from a cheap set of 16mm x 3 metre or 5 metre jump leads; with insulated crocodile clips and buy some 16mm lugs with 6mm holes (Like this Screwfix item 51735). Cut the cheap set of leads down asymmetrically, so I can make two sets. One set 1 metre and the other 2 metre (from 3 metre original set) etc. Will either terminate the lugs with solder or use the old hammer and chisel point method – to grip the stripped back cable .Hope this helps with the terminal/cable aspect for some people.
The unit itself feels solid, finished off well and very happy with that. It doesn’t feel cheap.
Tried the unit at home off a leisure battery. A 230v 40W 12” desk fan – slight hum not much on all three speeds -worked great. Tried with a Pacific 19” tv – fine operation – no distortion or crackle. Tried with a Technika tv/dvd combo all functioned correctly. Tried with a 800W microwave oven, with a mug of water to heat, Warm in about 2 1/2 minutes. Didn’t bother with hot as point was to see if it worked and didn’t see the point carrying on, as other microwaves may be more or less time. The 800W was workable basically. No horrible smells or noise from the inverter, it just ran smoothly. No heat displacement from aluminium body noted in that time period.
***WORD OF WARNING)***
If you are going to use and take off the red and black leads from the terminals be careful of any capacitor charge left internally between the -ve and +ve terminals after switch off. It could be done inadvertently if the two crocodile clips touch etc. I will discharge the charge via a filament 12 v car bulb – as the polarity is irrelevant.
In all – very happy with purchase and it’s performance.
Ottimo prodotto soddisfa a pieno le mie aspettative, buoni anche i materiali, versatilissimo per gli usi pi comuni data anche la generosit in Watt a patto che gli accumulatori a monte siano adeguati
Hasta el momento, perfecto. Es verdad que no le he exigido mucho, podra servirme uno menor pero satisfecho 100%. Si me lo preguntan dentro de un ao…
Excellent piece of kit, works very well on our boa
It is a bit pricy, but it works great in the campervan to provide enough power to use my dril and for floor heating mat it is ideal, Special with the solar panel on the roof. You hear the fan kicking in if you connect the appliance but it switched off after 2 secs and it is quite.
Fantastic, small yet powerful to run a drill, jigsaw, etc.
Ricevuto il prodotto nei tempi prefissati, Amazon sempre eccellente nelle coonsegne,mentre l’inverter ad onda pura da 1000 watt ha una piccola anomalia nel suo funzionamento, una informazione acquisita leggendo sui commenti ma non da compromettere il suo fuzionamento. Vi sono spurie emesse le quali su apparecchiature moderne vengono soppresse in modo efficace mentre su queele datate sono evidenti ma non in modo da compromettere il funzionamento. Potrebbe essere utile far passare il cavo di uscita a 220 volt attraverso un paio di ferriti riducendo se nn azzerando il problema.Provato in alimentazione sia su rcetrasmettitori radioamatoriali, sia su pc nn ha provocato nessun problema, quindi reputo il prodotto valido, ultimo ma nn ultimo utilizzando un phon da 1400 watt ha funzionato benissimo senza creare lo spegnimento dello stesso.
Buscaba uno de mayor capacidad que funcionar con cualquier cosa. Tengo uno de 600w marca telecom muy bueno. Este tiende a ser similar y a buen precio.
Es de onda modificada y buscaba que funcionar con motores con condensador, me aventure y acerte .
Funciona con una labadora con agua fra(no prob en caliente).
Con un brasero elctrico de 700w(recomendable buena batera se la come)
No todo a la vez pero es probable que si funcione por que la labadora consume por debajo de 200w (agua fria , 5 l) .no recomendable
Probado al mismo tiempo con ordenador sobremesa,tv led 32, 4 bombillas led,3 incandescentes 60w, 1 bajo consumo ,router. Sin problemas
Varios das puesto sin interrupcin a 30
El ventilador permanece parado siempre que no se consuma ms de 200w y baja temperatura. Cuando funciona es poco ruidoso. Los cables y las pinzas excelentes . Cuidado al usar con mechero de coche no poner algo que consuma ms de 300w segn manual que est en ingls por duplicado . En todo caso saltara el fusible del coche . La carcasa de aluminio y la posibilidad de sustituir fusibles sin abrirlo adems de enchufe universal confieren una esttica con funcionamiento excelente a un buen precio, slo queda a someterlo al tiempo .
Actualizacin:
Despus de un ao de uso con pocas interrupciones, sigue funcionando perfecto. Pico alto de arranque para motores. Soporta bien 1000w consumo pc y impresora laser,etc..
Vergleiche und Erfahrungen mit Wechselrichtern:
Habe den Voltronic reiner Sinus 1500 W getestet. Der Lfter ist ungeregelt und legt auch mit niedriger Last gleich los. Dieser darf auch nicht bei kleinen Lasten genutzt werden. Das Ding ist im Vergleich zum Bestek mit 1000 W riesig (wobei mir klar ist, dass dieser 1500 statt 1000 W hat und r. Sinus).
Ein AEG made in China mit 800 W aus dem Warehouse ist mir nach 2x nutzen abgeraucht. Schon gemeingefhrlich.
Gut war der kleine 300 W SNAN mit wenig Lfter-Betrieb, 2 x USB-Ladeoption (auch ohne Einschalter) fr 26-30 .
Braucht man mehr Watt, ist der Bestek 1000 W sozusagen der groe Bruder (allerdings ohne USB). Bei meinen Lasten: (34 Zoll LG Monitor und Apple Laptop = ca. 110 W) ohne Lfterverwendung. Handlich, gute Verarbeitung. Und er geht nicht dauernd an und aus und gibt seltsame Signaltne wie der Voltronic.
Er luft auch in der Kombi gut mit 12 V Batterien im Bereich 20-40 Ah, ohne Hitzeentwicklung. ber 600 W Dauernutzung wrde ich nicht gehen, d. h. 60 % der max. Last bei allen einfachen WR in der Preisklasse.
Sollte sich was ndern oder auffallen bei der weiteren Benutzung werde ich mich hier wieder melden.
Spannungswandler, ein spannendes Thema. Topgerte heien dann auch nicht Voltronic, sondern:
Votronic (ohne l) MobilPOWER Inverter SMI 1500 ST und kosten ber 800 .
Bought for my camper conversion for making smoothies in the mornings … but already am considering upgrading to 2000w as having a bit extra power to hand is useful but it’s extra dimensions if putting me off … would be nice if this smaller one came in 2000w version. Although in reality, I probably won’t need the extra juice but we’ll see how the 1000w version serves my needs this summer.
Funziona bene, spero che con l’uso dei primi tempi passi anche il leggero odore di bruciato che presumo sia dovuto alle resine isolanti.
A Great piece of kit at the right price for the perfect product.
perfetto per il camper e la mia bici elettrica che carica rapida e senza interruzioni l’inverter non scalda e non fa rumore eccesivo la ventola e partita solo una volta per circa 2 minuti perch ci avevo attaccato troppa roba (bici tv decoder dolby sorround) ma ha fatto tutto il suo dovere senza fare una piega!!
Testato con batteria 100 Ah e carichi di vario tipo (phon smerigliatrice trapano) in 30 minuti di funzionamento non ha scaricato la suddetta batteria. Silenziosissimo non scalda praticamente niente. Davvero soddisfatto. L’ho acquistato per il camper in sostituizione di uno da 300 Ah che svcalda tanto ed ha una ventola rumorosa. Lo consiglio.
it;s great, i run a fridge, radio, lights off 2x 12v batteries
This is a great product I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of buying. I purchased this so I can use my hairdryer in a caravan that has no electric and it works perfectly!!
Esta muy bien, pero yo la queria para poder enchufar una cafetera en el camin, me ha salido defectuosa y me ha fundido la cafetera.
have not used it a lot but looks good and easy to use
Works really well use for charging mobilty scooter batery wile driveing does not get hot and fan does not even ru
Excellent product works exactly as described we use in the car to charge iPads and other tablets and mobile phones
After several months use. This unit has provided a good 240v supply in a camper including regular recharging of a mobility scooter with a pair of 50 Ah batteries on board. The unit is very quiet even when working close to capacity. I’m sufficiently happy that I have since purchased a second unit to fit in another vehicle for the purpose of keeping my scooter on the go.
Ich konnte eine Stereoanlage und einen 530 W Bohrer zusammen bentzen. Ich habe auch einen Khlschrank, einen Rhrenbildschirm, eine 600W Reisebgeleisen und sogar einen 1000W Laserdrucker probiert. Das Ventilator arbeitet mit dem Khlschrank aber glcklich nicht mit der Stereo!
ach mehreren Versuchen mit anderen Fabrikaten habe ich es erreicht ein Gert zu besitzen dass mich mit seiner Leistung voll befriedigt. Da gibt es keine strende Warnungen, keine berhitzung, es luft und luft bis die Spannung unter die 11 bis10 Volt Akkuspannung fllt. Kurz danach wird die Unterbrechung aufgehoben und getestet, ob sich die Spannung erholt hat oder Verbraucher abgeschaltet wurden. Das ist das ganze Prinzip, ich habe keine Kontrollpflicht und kann mich auf meine Arbeit konzentrieren. Allerdings der Aufstellort soll belftet und neben dem Akku sein, das ist wichtig!
excellent build quality, light & portable, a must for the builders van.
Perfect to boil a travel kettel or plug a light or recharge a device enough. It workes really well and is easy to use. There is an on off button and a green light to let you know it is on. I still need to try it on a heater to fight against humidity. Recommended well worth the money. I plug it on a 110amp rechargeable battery.
ciao a tutti ,in poche parole vi dico che l’inverter funzioona molto bene con carichi di circa 800/900 w per tutto il tempo che serve.fate solamente in modo che si possa raffraddare a dovere ,voglio dire di non farlo lavorare vicino a fonti di calore
Powerful unit shows no signs of overheating, overall very good value for money.
Versand war schnell, Teil sieht gut aus und funzt gem Beschreibung sehr zufriedenstellend.
Habe es nicht bis an seine Grenzen auszreizen mssen, bisheriger Betrieb erfreulich ruhig, ohne viel Lfteraspekte.
Empfehlenswert.
Jodokus667
Great product. Easy to use and delivered on time. I was concerned this might not work with running a simple PA system outdoors, but it was perfect.
Arrivato nei tempi previsti, ho fatto solo una prova di funzionamento e funziona bene, il tempo dir se ottimo come dicono altre recensioni.
Das Gert ist einwandfrei, es entspricht meinen Vorstellungen. Viel Power .
Kann ich weiterempfehlen. Das Preis – Leistungsverhltnis ist gut.
QUESTO INVERTER PARAGONABILE AD ALTRI CON COSTI SUPERIORI AL DOPPIO !!!! EROGA 1200 WATT SENZA PROBLEMI, NON SI SURRISCALDA MOLTO, LA VENTOLA ENTRA IN AZIONE SOLO A SUPERAMENTO DI UNA CERTA SOGLIA DI POTENZA, MANTIENE CI CHE PROMETTE IN TUTTO E PER TUTTO!!!!!! CONSIGLIATISSIMO !!!!! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Klein handlich und gro in der Leistung. Der Lfter ist leise und luft nur so schnell wie es die Stromentnahme erfordert. Der 230 V Stecker ist ungewhnlich aber die Stecker passen da rein. Ich brauche den Spannungswandler fr mein Gartenhaus.
Ich sagt ehrlichkeit sehr gut um “Bestek 1000W Spannungswandler Weschsel…”!Ich bin sehr zufrieden
kann auch Wasserkocher und auch Kaffee kein problem 1000Watt sehr gut ok.
Beste empfohlen,ich sagt noch ehrlickeit.
Make sure the inverter’s max load is at least 500w above the appliance you’re planing to plug in, and it works
Used it every day for over a year, totally reliable. Very happy with it!
Worked great!
Hooked up to 40ah Haze AGM batt. powered a 800w oil radiator nicely – haven’t run at max capacity but expect to be able to get close to it.
Cables are a nice soft plastic and are only slightly warm to the touch after 10mins of usage @ 800w load
Had a prev. bad exp with a doxin inverter (1000w supposedly) but this has restored my faith in modified sine wave inverters
I thought the price sounded too good to be true but I can’t find anything wrong with it. It boils an 850 watt kettle without making much impression on the battery. I have used it with an angle grinder and a strimmer.
This is brilliant. I frequently use it to run a hoover (700w) and have never had a problem with it. Just make sure you get some very heavy duty battery cables as thin ones will melt under a high load.
Arrived when they said it would, nice looking inverter, very sturdy, haven’t tried it out yet but looks like it’ll do the job.
good Quality good product great helpful staff great transaction thanks
Er funktioniert einwandfrei, ist leicht zu bedienen und wir wrden ihn weiterempfehlen. Die Ware kam schnell und in einer guten Ve
lo compre para utilizar herramientas electricas en mi vehiculo, y aunque era esceptico, se ha portado de maravilla, sin calentarse casi nada.lo deberia haber compado antes.
Fitted to my narrowboat, brilliant value, equal quality to much more expensive brands. does what it says on the box!
I am satisfied with it.i sometimes carry a microwave in van.converters very handy .warm food up if out for the day.
An excellent bit of kit for work n leisure up to now ive found nothing to fault it ive already recommended it to family n friends
Bought this for my boat easy to install plus plenty of power for smaller equipment suggest you have good battery’s as you wont get the full potential out of the product.
This inverter is very well made with a robust anodised aluminium chassis and sturdy connectors. It came with battery clamp leads which was a very nice touch. It is fitted with brackets to allow it to be wall mounted in any orientation. It runs quietly and the low voltage shut off works. I have it hooked up to a 200 a/h battery and run my house lighting from it (we are off grid).
Please remember, though, that this is a modified sine wave inverter so not suitable for some applications such as anything with a motor in it, fluorescent lighting, sensitive electronic equipment such as computers or TV’s etc. It will power them up but the items will run inefficiently with the attendant risk of damage. For those applications you need a more expensive pure sine wave inverter.
For things like kettles, lights etc, modified sine wave inverters are fine.
There is a very good pdf article explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the two types here:
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/DataSheets/Skytronic/Guide_to_Inverters.pdf
Coming back to this one, though, so long as you do not overload it and use it for the correct applications, it is very good value for money and has everything you need, apart from the battery, in the box. This does not look like a budget device, it has the appearance and finish of an expensive bit of kit.
Works a treat glad I bought it and would recommend to anyone else. I will certainly buy more of these products.
Very good price and a great job ,runs my microwave in my caravan.you do not need an electric hook up just run your microwave from your battery.
I needed a portable power source to run a grinder for a short time and this did the job very well in fact 2 of my friends were impressed with what they saw they to are considering buying one of these. I tried an inverter before and it was not as good as this one its quiet easy to use does not get hot and I’m really happy with my purchase.
I purchased this Inverter based on previous ratings. Put it in my van last night and it works fine, early days i know but loaded it up with more lights than my previous inverter with no problems. It has a good weight and feel to it, not an indication of quality I know but so far so good.
I live in the mountains of southern spain in an area without mains electricity or water (yes this is the 21st century). I use a generator which, with the price of petrol, is expensive. The inverter (and a 12v battery) allows me to run lights/computer/tv/cd player without using the generator. Brilliant!
Fantastic gizmo – to make it perfect would be nice to have a USB charger point on it.
Seems very strong and well buil
I was most impressed with this little inverter… powered the following during a 12hour blackout…
Circuit 1
X4 100w(10w) energy saving lights
X1 20″ cathode tube television (My plasma TV prefers a pure sign wave)
X1 Sky Plus Box / DVD player
X1 5.1 Power amplifier
Circuit 2
X1 Tall larder fridge
Circuit 3
X1 800 watt microwave
All in all, a very impressive inverter, which I would highly recommend.
Please note that each circuit was run independently, not together as that would overload the inverter for sure.
Bought this to replace an aging 700w version , and its well up to the job , now installed and working well in my bug out camper , I would recommend this especially at this price for a 1000w inverter and excellent delivery too
BESTEK 1000w inverter 2400w Peak Power DC 12v to AC 230v voltage converter…This will help me to power a lot of electric tools on my boat .
Bought this for use in our motorhome perfect job would def recommend it brill
I am happy with my purchase
Run this in my Pimp-my-Ride van. Runs the Kettle, printer, phone chargers etc., Really quiet in operation and the benefit of both UK and continental plugs.
This was for a friend and he loves it. He fitted it in his caravan and it works just fine
We’ll only used it the once up to now, looks very professional and worked a treat, only time will tell. Would recommend
I bought a 600 watt travel kettle for work but the 150 watt power inverter I had was under powered. I could have bought a kettle that runs from the cigarette lighter connection but knew that boiling times can be long as a result so decided to buy a 600 watt kettle with this power inverter. I have had them now for 3 months and couldn’t be happier. Boiling times are close if not the same to 240v home sockets. I would recommend this product to friends and family. The only small issue I encountered was the battery connection wasn’t long enough to feed through to my vehicle battery and I wouldn’t have been able to use the cigarette connections as the power would have popped the vehicle fuse this was easy sorted with some longer cabling and connections. I am thinking adding some extra cabling,sockets and charging my drill, screwdrivers batteries from it.
I would recomend upgrading cabling as leads it comes with are thin and short. Possibly to thin for regular use and may overheat.
good buy, and hope it will do the job i bought it for as i have tried it out today
Great job very happy with this little power machine camper van is what’s its used on couldn’t be happier would recommend to you.
