K KRIËGER 600 Watt Power Inverters for Vehicles, 12V to 110V, Car Charger with Plug Outlet, Modified Sine Wave, 2 AC Outlets, USB Ports, Cigarette Lighter & Clamps - ETL Approved Under UL STD 458

UPDATE: 3/24/2021 - YES, 5 YEARS LATER. Still using and have created my "Portable Power Station with batteries/LED Lights and multiple ways to charge. ----- This unit is still working just fine and it's been put through it's paces over the years. ----- It's been used on a deer lease for 3 months, a cabin in the country with no external power for 1 month every day and with the various ways to charge, doesn't require fuel if you have a solar panel. ------ HIGHLY RECOMMEND this 1100 watt inverter. ****************************************************** Long Read - Sorry, just wanted to make sure everyone knows where I'm coming from with this review! While there are other similar products with higher reviews, I always defer to the larger number of reviews for a better idea of what to get. In this case, the ratings didn't fail me at all. Initially, I was very impressed when I unboxed this unit as it was well packaged and also felt very sturdy. I always check the studs that come out of the back where the cables connect, and these were very sturdy. My whole reason for getting this was due to a very close call with the Rowlett, TX tornado's that tore through on 12/26/15. Our house was spared, but we lost power. (Please pray or Offer support if possible to those affected) It was then that I realized I had absolutely no way to power anything but our phone chargers in the car. Once we regained power, I immediately began researching optional power solutions. This 1100 watt inverter had great ratings and reviews, which prompted me to buy it. I also bought a small gas powered inverter, but can't use those indoors. (Carbon Monoxide poisoning if you're wondering) As you can see by the pictures, I also bought a water proof tool box to put it in and set it up so that it can be used just about anywhere. While I have the 1100 watt inverter, it would easily hold the 1500 & 2000w inverters as well. While I currently have the 1100 watt, I may decide to upgrade to the larger ones later and this box is set up to accept either one of them. The 3000w & 4000w are both too big for this case. This 1100w inverter is working great and had no problems powering up a laptop and a 32 inch tv. Hopefully I won't need it for more, but from what I've read in other reviews, I don't think that will be a problem. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The tool box worked great and my next future power purchase is to get the matching rolling tool box that will hold 2 Deep Cycle batteries and this box will sit right on top and I can connect them via power cables. I posted a picture of the box that I got at Home Depot so anyone can get it set up the same way I have it. FYI, I did make two holes in the toolbox, but both are sealed up by rubber gaskets and sealant to keep it water proof. I will answer any questions if need be.

I just got this today so I might discover issues later but for the moment I think this is a great buy to provide a little, and I emphasize little, power. The issue is not the inverter, it is the battery (or car alternator). My main usage will be with my trolling motor battery from my boat. It is a class 27 rated at 100 amp hours. I got the 1100W inverter because it will use about 100 amps from the battery at full load. My big battery with full charge when new will only do that for an hour. A bigger inverter could power more "stuff" but not for very long unless I spend a bunch of money on a big battery bank. Car alternators do not go much over 100A either, many are smaller. So I don't see the point in a bigger inverter. Maybe for other people's applications. The reason I like this is it has the features I think are important and it works. I bought a different brand and it beeped at me even though the battery voltage was within it's spec. This one doesn't. This one also has voltage display or, alternately, Watts out. I think those are useful to have. I do not love having an on switch both on the front and the back. One seems like it's enough. I'd like to be able to see both volts and watts simultaneously but I don't really need to. I think including a 120A fuse (3, 40A) is a good idea from a safety standpoint. The 3 foot cables are long enough and big enough for my application. I don't think I'll use the remote control but it might be important to some people. Basically I don't see anything I really need this doesn't have nor do I seem anything that doesn't work. Back on power for a minute. I hooked this up to my 50 inch LCD TV, a dish hopper, wireless Joey (because it was plugged into the power strip) and DVD player (on standby). The inverter said it was drawing 125W. I think I can add my internet router and modem and stay under 200W. If I turn off the big TV and watch a tablet or computer, I might get it to 100W. If the power outage continues long enough, I can quit entertaining myself for a few minutes and plug in the refrigerator to keep the food from spoiling. I can run a lamp or two so I am not limited to flashlights. Should make a power outage a lot more livable and it isn't a big investment. That's my logic for this little inverter.

Pros: great price, compact, has run 24/7 for 6 months on a boat. The max load on my 1500 watt unit is only about 250 watts, starts my refrigerator and seperate freezer well....runs electronic TV and stereo ok. Cons: this is not a sine wave unit...your Digital voltmeter looks for true RMS ac, so will read the stepped square wave at about 85 volts out..not true, peak is 115.....my solar panels drive battery voltage to 14.7, the output is stable but the cooling fan runs with a light load on it, suspect it could not handle 1500 watts out with battery at 14.7, always buy a size larger than you need, ... puts out lots of electrical interference to my Ham radio, have not figured out a filter yet, still working on that, the computers and navigation equipment are ok with it. Overall: just bought a second unit to have onboard as a spare....cant beat the price. September 2017 update...after a year of light service...it got hot and the fan blew a cloud of acrid smoke into the boat...but!! It continued to run...the reefer and freezer were running ok ,the TV was just ok.. Good thing I bought a spare.

This is a really well made power inverter. Quality feel and construction. The features are great and love the backlit info display showing battery voltage and wattage output. It comes with a plug in wired remote, fuse block and 3ft of battery connecting cable. I bought this inverter to power a small 700 watt microwave in my RV. This quiet 1100w inverter will run a cheap small microwave no problem which are usually 700 watt cooking units with a 1100w power input rating. Because this is a modified sine wave inverter, expect a microwave to buzz louder and operate at about 2/3 of the rated cooking power, and also consume less power as well. — ie: Instead of 3 mins to heat water normally, it will take up to 5 mins on a modified sine wave power source. If the noise and reduced cooking power is a problem then look for a more expensive 1500w pure sine wave inverter. Otherwise I am very happy with the performance and quality of this 1100w inverter. I can reheat my coffee and make popcorn while camping!

Bought 1500 watt inverter for RV solar power using 2 batteries, error came up short circuit warning when running coffee maker, sent 1500 watt back and purchased Kreger 2000 watt inverter. It works okay but it does require 2 FULLY CHARGED 12 volt, deep cycle batteries to run a 900 watt pot of coffee. Mr. Smith at Power Bright was very helpful in suggesting the 2000 watt.
