Took a trip to Yellowstone and was on the road for a month. We packed a ton of food in the fridge knowing that groceries are scarce and expensive in that area of the country. We had swapped out our absorption fridge for a residential fridge and needed a way to keep our fridge running while driving all day for a couple days in a row and while boondocking at overnight stops along the way. I replaced my marine deep-cycle battery with 2 Renogy AGM batteries and added this inverter. I then ran an extension cord to the back of the rig, up through the floor to behind the refridgerator. I then opened the rear vent panel on the rig to plug the fridge into the extension cord from the rig outlet. Turned on the inverter and had power to the fridge the whole time. When we were connected to shore power I turned off the inverter and plugged the fridge back into its normal outlet. Worked great and the frozen food stayed frozen! Easy to use and install and made with very good quality components (from what I could tell). Very happy with this purchase.

I used this in my off-grid solar system for only a few weeks before I realized I needed to reconfigure the setup to run on 24V instead. This was no fault of the inverter; it handled my heat pump system, fridge, microwave, induction cook top, lights, fans, pumps, entertainment devices, battery chargers, etc. Also seemed to maintain 60hz, as far as I could tell with the clocks I had plugged into it. (no meter readings done to this effect)Later on, when my entire state was shut down by Hurricane Helene, I lent it to my brother in law, who powered their fridge, freezer and some chargers using his pickup truck as a generator for over a week zand they loved it.Pretty good quality unit, and substantial in weight too... No complaints!

Haven't had any issues, except one time it quit working when my battery were at 50%. Lifepo4 batteries, only a year old. Don't know if it's a batt problem, or what, but as soon as I charged them up it worked again no problem. Nice and quiet, and for a 3000w PURE sine wave, I think it's a good value for the money. I recommend a cut off in line from batt to inverter on positive line, with a method of precharging the capacitor or whatever that is.. watched a video and followed the video.. not sure what exactly I was doing, but this thing pulls a lot of power as soon as it is hooked to the battery, so it really should have a method of gently increasing power to the capacitor instead of dumping it all at once.

Unit never worked from day one, battery fully charged and inverter only would supply power at the usb, returned for refund

This 3000watt inverter came quickly and on time. It was well packaged and simple to install. I got it hooked up to 500AHR 12volt battery bank in my trailer and the thing ran my AC unit and my fridge!! Obviously wouldn't do that lomg term as batts would drain fast, but it is nice to know, when off grid we can make toast and brew coffee at the same time! Very happy with the unit... I have only just installed it so have not used it for any length of time yet, but so far, so good!

This is not as advertised. It says no where that it will be missing all accessories, instructions. It wasn't even in the factory plastic wrap. This was not a good purchase on my part and definitely is not sold as described. Not Happy!

Worthless, tech support horrible, under warranty but will not replace/refund.Let me explain further…I purchased this inverter for an off-grid Solar charged battery bank to run my Starlink and wifi camera, along with a 7k btu window unit. This setup is located in the Atchafalaya Basin, Louisiana (think the TV show “swamp people” that’s where this camp is) in the “middle of nowhere”.The battery bank consists of (8) 100ah 12v Flooded Lead Acid batteries wired in parallel for a useable 400ah bank. Batteries are wired together properly with 2/0 gauge jumpers and connected to the inverter with 3’ 2/0 gauge pure copper cables.Battery bank is charged/maintained by two Renogy charge controllers (1) 40amp MPPT with (4) 100w panels connected 2x2 (2-200watt strings).The second Renogy Charge controller is a 60amp MPPT with 3x1 240 watt solar panels.Plenty of power for what I want, and yes I know I could get more with a 24v system… but I went with Renogy 12v… big Mistake!!Everything worked fine for about two months. The Starlink was on, camera working, and I was able to turn the Wifi AC window unit on during the day to dehumidify the camp.Then one morning everything turned off, which required a trip down and 30 minute boat ride to investigate. The yellow GFCI light was on. So I wired the AC unit to the load terminals that supposedly provide more power, flipped the switch back to on, tested (and it worked) and returned home.Next day it happened again. So I called Amazon (who was the most helpful during this fiasco). Amazon directed me to Renogy because I was outside the 30 day return window.Renogy advised I needed to ground the inverter and use 4/0 wires to the 3000watt inverter. Note there isn’t anything in the instructions that specify what cables are required/recommend.So I make the long haul again with 10AWG stranded insulated copper wire, 8 gauge pure copper wire, an 8’ grounding rod, and brass grounding connectors.I sink the rod about 20’ in the mud, run the 8awg solid copper wire into the camp, and ground the inverter using the recommended 10AWG insulated stranded copper wire.I make the connection to the inverter using 2’ 4/0 pure copper cables, test, (it works!), and I return home.Next day everything shuts down again. I called Amazon who put me though to Asurion (I bought the insurance), who routed me back to Renogy because it was still under manufacture warranty. Renogy asked if I had performed any multimeter tests, which I had for my own curiosity (not directed to do so by Renogy) and so I reported my test results… 13.8 v DC no load, 120 v AC no load. Renogy said they needed picture evidence. I asked if I they could save me another trip down and allow me to return/replace the inverter, and they said no, no, no. I asked several times because I felt they just kept making things up for me to-do and not honor their warranty.They said I could return it (but wouldn’t allow me to do so) and they could test it, and if they found nothing wrong they would charge me for testing and shipping. At this point I really don’t trust them to “test” the inverter and accept that there’s something wrong with it. I tell them they need to honor their warranty, they direct me back to Amazon.PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS INVERTER!!!Save your TIME and MONEY and buy another brand!!
