I have a Prius 2008 and this is a great helper when camping or for long drives. I can plug in my espresso machine, air fryer or whatever I need on the road. Excellent product!
Works smoothlessly and quietly – the fans only kick in when necessary. Seems a good product – but try to get support! I had an issue over a month ago – the address for this in Taffs Well seems to be an illusion.
Had it in the van for a month now and running around 270ah of batteries and works everything I throw at it! Vacuum, grinder, chargers. Looks and acts the pa
It has been installed a while now and works fine : )
If you listen to short wave and or Medium Wave, it does produce quite a bit of interference.
But then from asking on the off grid forum they all do.
Reception on FM and TV is not affected so perfect for normal people : )
It has run all appliances microwave, Air Fryer, TV, computers, power tools within its 3000 watts perfectly..
Ink jet printers are also fine but not Laser printers, as the heaters start current on them is very high.
This is a well documented problem with laser printers, so not a fault with this inverter.
The cables supplied to connected it to the battery bank are not really heavy enough. so I would recommend upgrading them.
God Bless
Great product, I have also bought the whole solar panel system and I’m looking forward to getting this set up, from what I’ve tested so far it’s great, solid build quality, same as the rest of the parts.
3000w used in a Campervan, does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
works well on home system
can now boil a kettle!
I purchased this inverter to go with my small solar setup. Having recently invested in a LIFEPO4 battery i needed something to power our Projector. There are a ton of inverter out there, one thing i knew i wanted was a pure sine wave inverter from a reputable brand. My projector is worth 3500 and i did not want to blow it up with a cheap inverter!
Having read a ton of reviews and watched lots of social media videos i decided this Renogy 1000w fitted my requirements.
The device itself is huge! Much bigger than i expected. It feels substantial – and the build quality is excellent. Wiring up the inverter to the battery was a 2 minute job using the included cables. You also get a wired remote with the inverter, but i decided not to use this. The inverter has one 3 pin UK plug socket on the front. I connected up my projector and powered it on – it worked great!
What i really love about this inverter is that it is totally silent! My projector on ECO modes draws around 170w, and clearly the inverter is comfortable with this load without ramping up the internal fan. We have a smaller 500w inverter which we use to power other small device, but this thing is noisy!!! So it was great that the Renogy was silent. We use the inverter for around 4-5hrs a night, and yes it is reasonably warm after this time, but nothing that would concern me. The device is fully fused and has good safety features. I had zero concerns using this device. I have not pushed it anywhere near it’s limits, and too be honest do not intend too as i purchased this solely for my projector.
Overall i am super impressed with this inverter and would not hesitate to recommend it to others!
I had no problems fitting this other than finding space for it as it’s quite large but that’s to be expected for what it is….. been using this for few month now to run a Tassimo coffee machine and not had a single problem
You get what you pay fo
So far, working well. Is paired with a Renogy charge controller. Don’t use the supplied battery cables – get something more substantial. I have a 150A breaker between the battery and the inverter so should trip before I hit 2KW.
Really wish they did a 24v version.
Works well so far but I’ve honestly not yet put it to its full test, easy to install. I can use auxiliary power through it which I couldn’t with my sterling and costs more.
Mounted inverter and battery on trolley so that in can be moved about easily. Used for external use to power various items where no mains available. Also used to power central heating boiler during power cut.
This is a great product and part of our growing Solar migration project. It also has a UPS pass through functionality if you want to hook it up to the mains to supply battery back up power in the event of a blackout whilst mainly using mains.
There’s a lot of cheap, unreliable inverters out there, I’ve had two of them, but this is not one. If I had got one of these in the first place I would have saved myself a load of grief. Live and learn. Using it for my shed – lights, heater, power tools – as long as I don’t overstretch the batteries – smooth as you like.
Easy to wire up, well packaged so arrived in good nick, always a worry of mine.
Previous reviews had mentioned lower grade cables which concerned me, so was happy to see they’d uprated them.
Powered it with 2 12v 120 amp marine batteries and all works.
Had to turn off the house mains to do repairs and used it to power my drills etc, all worked fine.
Happy with purchase
Works well running induction hob, toaster and 700 eatt microwave. eats fair bit of battery power but, with enough solar and engine charging works
As others have pointed out once you add a more substantial pair of cables this inverter is brilliant.. i have it teamed with 2x 155ah Lithium’s and it handles everything thrown at it with barely a whisper. I do like Renogy kit as i have a pair of their standalone suitcase panels as well which are extremely well constructed.
Used on m 12Volt solar set-up. Very good inverter, howver I would advise that if you are going to be pulling anything like the stated 3000W from it, that you upgrade your battery to inverter cables to something a lot more substantial to the ones that are supplied with it as the supplied ones will get hot.
The inverter is quiet in operation, it does have a couple of fans but they are pretty unobtrusive when they come on. All in all this is a very good, quality inverter.
Used to power a 48 inch led smart tv. My only criticism is it doesn’t have an led screen to show what wattage it is using and what voltage the battery is at. Very good inverter though.
This is my stand by solar power till main installation next month – very capable equipment easy to install and matched with the battery a impressive use of the free energy that sun gives us all – charge for free with a panel and run an electric fire at night ! Or use home power as normal when tied into your house ring main Just be aware it’s finite don’t draw it all off in one go ,, you can budget it to last a few days or cut out the most costly devices like a big juicy kettle or run an immersion free hot water ; shower great stuff –
Love it thanks renology
Renogy 2000w/Perfect bought this to Run a 1000w microwave & a Hoover in My motorhome great quality Unit. cables supplied are 2 awg gauge .
4 good quality.cables But their short so needs to B close to battery bank& circuit breakers unit performs flawlessly no heat issues But don’t use cheap breakers
Cheap 200amp breakers trip at 80:
Buy blue sea Which are about 90.00 each Or
If you go For cheaper Circuit Breakers Buy Hamola
Pack of 3- 300amp Breakers 37.99 Amazon Great Value & youl have absolutely No issues Ooh nearly forgot well packt & fast delivery.
Installed this on my narrowboat,easy to install,runs a 240 volt fridge freezer and a microwave combination oven with no problems at all.It runs very quietly,have to look every now and then to seeif it`s switched on it`s that quiet..Great bit of kit.
Good reliable invertor. So far so good I’ve had it for 6 months and it’s working really well.
Compared to another brand which I went through 3 invertors with.
Connected to my battery and solar panel and powers my portable battery Rey charger, laptop and monitor easily enough.
On a very sunny day with no clouds it can power my large fridge freezer. But powers hedge trimmers and other power tools easily enough. High volume alarms beeps once it cuts out.
Hopefully it lasts well into next year and beyond.
Prompt delivery, well packed, simple instructions connected it up the same day it arrived, using my 120Ah battery tested on my motorhome microwave, voltage droppped to 11 volts but inverter kept on working, pleased so far but time will tell, 2 year guarantee.
Tested so far on 500W, and it works flawlessly.
Also, it is now supplied with two pairs of 2AWG 8mm lugs cables, that should handle the peak current.
I have tried it on a Tefal 1430w oven, works really well. I also like it’s simplicity.
Great inverter well-built with heavy cables does exactly what it says it does and far better quality than cheaper ones I have had in the past.
Great product again from Renogy except for the BT-1 not providing the control I was expecting currently unable to use the UPS function this is due to my current motorhome electrical 230V setup not an issue with Renogy 2000W Pure Sine Inverter still allowing to use more appliances via the LiFePo4 Renogy 100A x 2 batteries, overall a thumbs up from me….
The product was easy to install works quietly and powers all tools in workshop it has replaced a Chinese inverter that was rated much higher than it was capable of the renogy inverter does exactly what it says perfectly well done renogy
Good size inverter looks nice works well. Remote unit is definitely worth having too.
Bought this to replace inferior brands that just didn’t cut it!
Good enough to even power my Tassimo coffee machine!
Made mince meat of a 3000w kettle. It didn’t even kick the fans in. I didn’t use the wires provided, because they are really too thin for 3000w. I used 70mm2 cable and I tested the current whilst using the kettle, and it was showing it was pulling 249 amps, so definitely just short of 3000w mark. At 90 percent inverter efficiency, its still 2700 watts at 250amps. 70mm2 wires stayed cool.
Easy to install. But could do with a digital readout.
Not used the inverter yet but thought it was worth adding observations on initial opening and I will update with performance details once its installed. As others have noted don’t use the cables provided. They’re not marked with a particular CSA but do say 100A on them, which is clearly not enough for a 2000W load at 12V. You could parallel them however to get the appropriate rating. The big surprise for me, which is not mentioned in the marketing material is that the inverter includes and automatic changeover feature for an AC input. So if you use this in a motorhome and are plugged into electric hookup, this inverter will automatic switch to the electric hookup supply which does away with designing a separate changeover panel. I will certainly be making use of this additional surprise feature in my install!
I have only used this inverter for a few days but this inverter seems to be excellent, well built, very powerful & seem to work very well.
One major word of caution – the battery cables that the inverter comes with are dangerous. The cable warm up very quickly when the inverter is place on loads in excess of 2000W within 5 minutes. Consumers could be lulled into a false sence of security by Renergy as one would expect the expect the supplier to prvide the cable that is able to cope with the inverter at it’s maximum rating: 3000W.
In short, the cables are a fire hazzard & can not be trusted! Renergy should supply cables that can handle 300A to 350A or nothing at all and reduce the price.
On a positive note, this inverter IS capable of powering my standard 8KG washing machine on a 20 degree cycle for 5 minutes.
No issues powering:
. Lawnmower – 1200W
. Chop Saw – 1500W
I have appropriate size cables (350A) on order to addrerss the issues.
Nevertheless, I would still very much recommend this inverter – if you want a 12V inverter, it is solid and works well.
NB: Disclaimer, I am not a qualified electrician, however, I know a warm/hot cable when I touch it !!
This is only based on first tests of the inverter. But there is definitely room for improvement. The socket seems mechanically not up to standards. Inserting plugs is very fiddly. I tried various plugs and it takes on all of them quite some bit of wriggling to get the ground pin past the child safety.
The quiescent current on the DC side is shown as 0.6A. This is quite a house number. Multiplied by the the 13V from the battery that is 7.8W for doing nothing usable. You better do not forget to switch the inverter off.
Other than those initial niggles the inverter has been behaving as one would expect. I still gave a full rating as high quiescent currents are unfortunately pretty common on such inverters, despite there being existing circuitry for micro inverters which can do a lot better. Less than 1W is perfectly doable. At those 7.8W you would have drained a fully charged 200Ah battery in just over 12 days on standby.
But I will keep my eye on developments and revise my review once the inverter will get used more. I do not plan to plug and unplug frequently, hence I just accept it as it is for now.
Using mine for my home office with one of their LifeP04 batteries – It’s well built and sturdy – it’s got a lovely UPS feature which I have had the chance to test several times and there is no issue. I would get the 3000W one without hesitation if I needed i
When this arrived i was suprised by how big and heavy this unit was.
Installation was simple and the automatic voltage sensing 240v pass through is a great addition so saves having to add the additional wiring, circuit breakers and a selector switch.
Connection is positive and negative from your batteries, 240v input from your hook up or generaror and the remote cable if you want to use it.
I used 50mm2 cable as other reviewers suggested. The supplied cables are light duty. I haven’t used it at full power yet but it works well to power our microwave. I only plan using it occasionally. The instructions are very vague and basically I used information from the reviews etc to set it up. Also just a small point, but the wire for the remote is immediately over the screw hole to fix it. That’s a whole 360 of available real estate to put the wire and somehow it’s plumb over the screw hole. It means bending the cable back to avoid the screw point. Only a small point but if people didn’t notice they would inevitably put the fixing screw right through the middle of the cable.
Works as described, my only whine is that the UPS function is not more clearly described, as, if you insert a mains power lead into the Inverter, the output is on mains power, rather than allowing the Batteries to supply output power, so clarifying, I would like my Batteries to supply power most of the time, and only go to Mains power when the batteries are sufficiently depleted, hence saving my Mains power bill.
This UPS function is ok for some applications.
All the inverters are fully protected, gives you the power it says it gives you and should last a long time as its a seriously high quality machine for the money. Don’t buy a dodgy unknown rip off, it will last 6 months a pop. The 1000w will power most domestic 240v products if using one item at a time if it draws a fair bit. However don’t make the mistake i made as i wanted to power a 700w microwave. Be careful as 700w is the cooking power not the consumption power. The microwave will consume 1200w approx so if you intend to briefly power a microwave now and again you will need to upgrade to the 2000w machine. Love the mains power lead too. This means if you plug into hook up it will act as an extension lead and you don’t have to swap plug sockets. Customer service was good too when i did upgrade. All ill buy from now on is renogy. High quality at reasonable prices.
I use this on my boat with a renogy solar charger and 6 12 volt batteries.
It runs washing machine, lighting, laptop & phone chargers, a fridge-freezer, henry hoover, all manor of different power tools, airfryer, pressure cooker and an espresso maker. It seems very efficient with small loads and seems the handle the big ones no-sweat!
This seems like great value for something i rely on every day!
Edit
Having had issues with the Renogy inverter (see below) I now have it functioning correctly.
For the initial installation I used the cables supplied with the unit.
Renogy contacted me due to my poor review. I was told my system was not up to the power requirements, my battery was insufficient or my induction stove was pulling a surge current tripping the unit out.
Following advice from a 3rd party I replaced the cables supplied with a 50mm2 alternative on both +ve and -ve terminals. It now operates my induction hob at 1900watts without issue.
So, as long as you use higher quality cable than those supplied it seems a good inverter. I wish the same could be said for Renogy’s customer service.
I have increased the score initially given to reflect my updated experience with this unit.
Original review:-
“Good looking sturdy unit which was straightforward to install.
Performance with my portable induction hob was less than satisfactory.
I tried it with a ring at full power (1900watts) and it tripped out after a few seconds.
I reduced the power level in stages until it would continue to run. That was at 1450watts.
Pretty disappointing for a unit rated at 2000watts continuous.
Cannot recommend to others. If I hadn’t disposed of the packaging it would be going back.
Shame really as the Renogy DC-DC charger with MPPT I bought to run alongside the inverter is really good.”
Well, I wish I would have purchased this in the first place, I originally had another well known 3kw inverter but it kept bleeping and shutting down when connected to a 1200w coffee machine, I sent it back and ordered a replacement only for that to do the same..so I opted for this renogy inverter and have to say I am pleasantly surprised… This by the way is for in my motorhome, so far its run a modern nespresso machine, 2 colour TV… just small ones, compressor fridge, and I’ve even had the water boiler on with it, there is 2 temp settings on the water heater, 40 and 60, it did the 40 without breaking a sweat, but the 60 really hammered my lithium batteries x2 100a Also Renogy… they started off on 100% and by the time the water had finished they were down to 46%…I am new to lithium and have only just installed them but this inverter is without a shadow of doubt the Boss.. not cut out or bleeped or gone into overload protection or anything..very pleased with it and highly recommend it.
I only opted to buy it via amazon because of their excellent customer service returns policy I could have got it 30 cheaper from the supplier off their website but then you have the hassle of returning it if anything is wrong, whereas amazon arrange a collection from your door next day..Inverter 10/10 and 5*
Update: I have had this now while on tour around Europe with all the standard fittings that came with the inverter itself and can say with honesty i have not had a single issue with it – i have an induction hob connected on 2000w an Air Conditioner running 800w and also a Nespresso coffee machine all running together, the cables never felt warm or even tepid, and what is surprising to me to date is i have not once ever heard the fans come on – the inverter i purchased before this Renogy system – which was also a 3000w – The fan used to come on as soon as you turned something on, then within 30 seconds would beep and shut down – so on my personnel experience i still stand by the 5 stars i gave it – and in fact i have purchased another but via Renogy web site, at the time it was on offer at nearly 40 less than Amazon plus i got 5% off nearly 15 for a voucher – i personally cannot fault it !
Very impressed, works like a charm. Can connect this to both shore line and the battery and it switches automatically between the two. Shore line takes priority so great for our caravan. Awesome so far.
Works like a charm !! Does what it says on the tin !! Very happy !!!!
Great bit of kit especially the ac pass through, runs my 800 watt microwave off the battery no problem.
After returning 2 other inverters that were just terrible, I’ve finally found an inverter worth using. This unit really feels well made and up for the task, and doesnt suffer from the annoyances you get with the cheaper non-branded units.
The battery terminals are spot on and feel really secure, you dont have to deal with irritating beebs on high surge loads, and the added automatic transfer swith is amazing and really needs to be a more common option on the smaller units (1-2kw inverters).
It happily runs a medium/large fridge freezer, microwave and a coffee machine (not at the same time) with no issues, and has even ran my house completely off grid for several hours. It’s pretty quiet too!
An added bonus i found is that the included remote uses a standard ethernet network terminal. It comes with a generous amount of wire, but is also able to utilize a female to female ethernet coupler, allowing you to increase the legnth significantly, really usefull!
I may have finnaly found a brand i can trust when it comes to this type of equipment.
Thank you Renogy, i’ll be checking out your solar panels next!
