I ordered and received one of these inverters and it fell apart during the shipping. I strongly recommend that buyers should demand pre paid return shipping for defective units.

I bought one of these and a large one (3000 watt) but in less than two years both have failed. Both different failures. Contacted the comapny, they say they do not service thier product because it is not "cost effective". If you open one of these up you see that componets are haphazzardly soldered, some not even mounted on boards. Very poor build and parts qualityand no wiring digram available, so after spending $600.00 if it works for a year and then a $2 resistor fries or something ele inside breaks you have to just throw it away. Spend a few more bucks and get one that will last longer than a year and is backed by a comapny that makes a product that will last longer than its warranty and that can be serivced when it does break.

I bought the product a year ago as backup power for sump pump. Just a few days after setup everything, we found the charger wasn't functioning. Then I had to mail it back with my own money to get a replacement. We really didn't get a chance to use it for a few months until the hurricane came a few days ago. It broke when we really needed it. Called customer service was told that since the original purchase has been over a year, they won't be able to do anything, although the replacement is less than a year. So be really careful, you may end up paying hundreds and getting nothing. Another thing, don't expect talking with their customer service is something fun - at least I didn't.

These things are the worst piece of crap I've ever seen!! I bought one of the 2,000W pure sine wave units, it's NOT pure sine wave, pours out RF noise, and won't run an appliance anywhere close to 1000 Watts, which is 1/2 of what the mfg. rating is!! Don't be sucked in by the cheap price!!! This thing is worthless!! Spend a little extra $$$ and go with a name brand inverter that will actually run the items it claims to be able to!!
