Bought unit in July went up in a BIG cloud of smoke the end of November maybe used unit 3 or 4 times. I figured I would just send it to Xantrex under warranty, when I spoke to customer service I was advised it was out of warranty (3 mo. that says alot about the product right there)I asked him if there was anything he could do since it was only a month out and it was only used several times he suggested that I take the unit apart to see what was wrong and try to repair it myself! I did not tell him that I am an Electronic Technician this struck me VERY odd knowing how dangerous to someone without an electronic background this would be causing serious injury. This could have opened Xantrex to a SERIOUS LAWSUIT!!!!

I'm a fan of Xantrex products because their quality and performance. But this inverter doesn't deserve to have the Xantrex logo. I just conected it to my battery, turned on and to my surprise and deception it failed inmediately with no load at all, and just left a fried electronic components odor...
Before energizing the system I always check for correct polarity so everything was OK (no inverted cables, no short cuts, correct grounding)
Later I decided to buy a Xantrex SW2000 pure sine and thats a different happy story, it has worked perfectly so far.
