seems to be a good inverter. Does everything i want it to without complaint on my boat, running off of solar-charged golfcart batteries. It is very nice that the thermostatically controlled fan doesn’t turn on unless you are using a lot of juice. My old inverter had a fan that was always on, even when charging an ipod or cellphone – super-annoying! So, this one is great, so far!

This is my 2nd unit. After 2 weeks of continuous use the fan will fail. Unfortunately, my company will only allow this inverter.

Great product to run a small hand-held vac (110 V) for blowing up an air mattress in the wilderness with no utilities!

I’ve done a lot of home wiring but wouldn’t tackle this one on my own. This requires some pretty sophisticated work to install it in a vehicle. I’m going to sell it on Ebay and just use a 750 watt inverter that can clamp to the battery posts and that’s all you do to get it operational. Wasn’t looking for a permanent installation. This doesn’t come with any pigtails or such either. Sort of feel like I’ve been sold a bill of false goods as nowhere in the description does it say this is not for your everyday DIY’er.

Laptop will power on and run and charge. Curtis inverters and a few others (lower capacity) would just beep and click off when the laptop was started. They were only good for recharging the laptop batteries when the laptop was off.
Would have liked a cigarette lighter plug in to power this inverter rather than the two kinda short leads that are supposed to be clipped to the car battery. I am supposed to install this under the hood or mount a battery inside my vehicle?
Works where others failed and for a good price so I will modify it to mount inside by extending the cables with some additional heavy gage wire and a fusible link. I would say do not even bother with sub 300 Watt inverters if you want to run a laptop.
