Product Description

Most inverters produce electric waves that are a modification of the waves produced by household electrical outlets. In contrast, the power produced by the new Wagan Tech Pure Sine Elite Inverters is very similar to the power produced by your household electrical outlet. Since the power produced by these inverters is very clean and low in harmonic distortion, it enables users to enjoy clearer pictures on television sets and noise free audio systems. This inverter uses a true sine waveform in its delivery of energy and power. Such a more "natural" method of delivery resulting in quicker starting motors and a lower optimum operating temperature. As a result, electronic devices using the Pure Sine Wave Inverter are longer-lasting and more efficient in their operation. The lack of sharp edges in the waveform reduces susceptibility to interference from other electronic devices which can hinder equipment effectiveness. For most consumers, the typical modified sine wave inverters will be sufficient. However, if you are running sensitive equipment like medical devices and certain computers, a Pure Sine Wave Inverter might be necessary. A host of new features make the Pure Sine Wave Inverter an indispensable product and a worthy addition to your line of equipment. This inverter converts 12 volts, direct current (12V DC) to 120 volts alternating household current (120V AC). It easily powers TV/VCR combinations, small microwave ovens and refrigerators. It also operates at high efficiency (up to 90%) that results in long running time and extended battery life compared to other inverters with this level of power output. This inverter has the highest surge capability in its class. Superior surge capability of 2000 watts allows the inverter to start most difficult motorized appliances. Advanced microprocessor-controlled circuits run cooler and are more reliable than competing units. This comes with a wireless remote control and a set of cables.

This review is from: Wagan 2203 Elite 1000W DC to AC Pure Sine Inverter (Automotive)

Just like the other review, I bought this inverter for my RV to run my microwave. I live in Canada so I too had to pay a high shipping cost to receive and also to return. After receiving the inverter and opening it up I heard rattling in the case when I moved it. It was almost as if the company didn't finish putting it togehter.Wagan 2203 Elite 1000W DC to AC Pure Sine Inverter The exterior screws were loose also and me being so upset after waiting and anticipating the arrival of this unit I like a fool tightened the screws and hooked it up anyway. It blew up and caught fire and burned. I returned it to Amazon with $$ loss in shipping. I actually ordered another one but after reading this other review I've decided to have them return my money.

This review is from: Wagan 2203 Elite 1000W DC to AC Pure Sine Inverter (Automotive)

This inverter lasted 7 hours before dying, the load was well below 1000w and the red light came on and never went off even after disconnecting it from the batteries and re-installing it. The unit is toast, the company lines are busy and no one has returned my phone calls.

After reading the previous 2 reviews I reco0mmend not buy anything from wagan. i am poor, live off the grid and cannot afford to replace it which means i am stuck with intermittent power from a generator.

*****UPDATE*****
one month after returning the inverter and still nothing. 9 days ago i called customer service and wwas told I did not include proof of purchase. Well, I did, but even if I didn't they had all my contact information and never called or emailed me. so I emailed me a copy and called back in a few days and the customer service woman, I always get the same one too, had to find my email. Oh, ok I found it and will send it to accounting. I called today and was told it will be over a week before it will be shipped.

I live off the grid and have no more money I am forced to live off a generator until I get my inverter, this has been a very expensive lesson.
