Ampeak 2000W Modified Sine Wave Inverter, 12V DC to 120V AC, 17 Protections | 4000W Surge, 3 AC Outlets, Dual USB 6.2A, LCD Display, for Truck RV Hurricane Emergency

Updated 6/16/22 Another year and still no problems. I have it connected to two Group 27 RV batteries in parallel. Have been to Yosemite and many sites in SoCal with no hookups and this is still doing the job. I discovered another appliance that doesn't like square wave AC. It's a travel size hair dryer with an AC-DC converter built into it. The converter buzzes when plugged in even if the hair dryer is switched off. Updated 6/7/21 Bought July 2019 for my Class C RV. Have camped about 60 dates since then with no issues. This runs the coffee maker, the RV microwave, the DVD/TV combo, laptop, and cell phone charger. The only appliance so far that doesn't seem to like the modified sine wave is the Waterpik water flosser. Its motor does not sound as powerful as it does plugged in at home although it still works. Some reviewers complain about the lack of cables but they didn't look hard enough. The box has what amounts to a false bottom beneath which is a bag containing the cables. There is also a small instruction booklet that explains what happens if you try to draw too many amps out of your storage battery before recharging it. If the battery voltage drops too low then the inverter starts beeping. Keep on drawing and it soon cuts out altogether to save your battery from a ruinous discharge. The remote control switch (sold separately) is very handy in my RV. I keep the inverter and battery in the utility bay and turn it on and off from inside the RV. My battery is always being recharged by a solar panel on the RV roof, even when underway, so there is usually enough AC to run the coffee maker and TV/DVD combo at camp sites with no hookups or restrictive generator hours.

Great inverter so far. You get in a big box but the only thing inside is the inverter and the cables for instalation. The cables are good cables but not really long, so you might want to use your own cables as I did. I used 2 gauge wires I got from autozone. Dies but fine with a remote so you have to order seperate witch I didn't know and not sure which remote goes with it but I'm sure it says it somewhere in descriptions. It has power and it keeps going. Mine has been on for 24 hours tuning nu lights and TV and I only turned my car on once but I do have an auxiliary battery. It doesn't shut off or the alarm go off for no reason like some other inverters. The microwave does make a weird sound when you run it but it works and heats up your food. This unit reads your battery really accurate. It reads the dane thing my battery monitor says. I still ned to permanently install it somewhere but I recommend this inverter.

En verdad que funciona

We have bought 10 of these over time for work trucks and never had an issue.

Ordered with one day shipping after our power company here in Northern California notified me that the power was going to be shut off because the wind was going to blow. This was the second multi day outage in a couple of weeks. The first outage I borrowed an inverter generator. It was not available this time. Since I could not get a generator shipped in time I ordered this inverter and ran it off my car. Turned out to be two "safety" shut off events without power restored in between. I hooked it to my car and ran my fridge, some lights, charge phones. Refrigerator while running was about 200 watts, while dumping ice from Ice maker about 420 watts. Starting watts showed 900 watts for a second or two. My 96 Toyota corolla would power about 350 watts at idle without discharging the battery below 12.6 volts. The most load I used was my coffee pot that pulled about 900 watts for 8 minuets. Input voltage dropped to 12.0 volts, could here alternator straining as it was maxed out. It did discharge the battery for this short time. Since it was not a constant load when it shut off the alternator topped off the battery while powering the smaller loads. I did hook it to my wife's car with a much larger alternator and it handled the coffee pot's 900 watts without dropping below 14.6 volts charging. Overall we used to run the fridge and other small loads from Saturday Afternoon till Wednesday evening running the car off and on for a few hours a day and off while we slept. Since it was in my driveway with no fencing I did remove the inverter and store it inside while we slept. Inverter did everything we asked of it. I will update this if anything changes.

I used this with 12 VDC deep cycle batteries to frame my entire Barndomium. Ran: 15A Circular Saw, 15A Compound Mitre Saw, 15A Table Saw, 1/2 HP Pancake Compressor. I used 1 battery at a time to do this entire project. Also...1 tool at a time. It did not allow me to over discharge the batteries (beeped) when I was close. Never had an issue with it. Used all Ryobi Power tools and a Porter Cable compressor. The compressor had the hardest draw; especially when I was framing with a 3 inch gun. The miter saw drew the least when making short cuts on the studs to cut them to size. Ripping plywood for the sub floor also drew a lot, but less then the compressor. I had 4 batteries available so I just swapped them out when I needed to.

I purchased the Ampeak 2000 watt inverter and remote. This inverter had a design issue that forced me to return it as I felt it would be unsafe to leave installed in my RV due to the standard wiring conventions not being followed on all 3 plugs. Detailed explanation below and in video. In my case I was trying to wire it into my RV so that I could easily flip a switch and feed the inverter into two different circuits. One was for the auxiliary outlets so I could use a coffee maker with it. The other circuit was for the microwave. The inverter seemed to work fine when I bench tested it so I installed it in the RV and wired up 3-way switches so I could switch back and forth between shore power and the inverter. First circuit went fine and everything worked but when I installed the second circuit I got an OOP indication for an overload condition. Thinking I had wired something wrong I went back through all of my wiring and everything seemed to be fine until I plugged in both circuits to the inverter and it would cause the hot and neutral to be shorted together. Further investigation found that two of the plugs on the inverter have the hot and neutral swapped from normal convention. Now this isn't something most people would notice if they had individual appliances connected. In my case going through the circuit breaker panel it ties the neutral and hot together since the neutrals are all tied together in the panel. Being a retired electrical engineer I figured I could just pull the front panel and swap the leads on the plugs but what I found was the plugs were soldered into a circuit board so there is no way to swap them and also leads me to believe they are all wired that way which could be a safety hazard or cause a failure like I experienced. I also contacted their customer support and the phone number listed on the website was out of order. I did get a response from an email and while it contained a lot of nice words about how they were there to help they wanted videos to show the inverter working and not working to pass on to their technical staff. I sent them that along with the explanation of what was wrong. Their "technical staff" still couldn't understand it so asked for an additional video showing something different. At that point I was done with their stall tactics of asking for meaningless videos so I decided to return the inverter. While I could make this inverter work by changing my wiring to match their incorrect layout I don't want electronics in my RV where the design has a blatant flaw like this and the technical staff can't understand what is wrong or catch it in the first place. Their last email did say to return the product but nothing about a replacement so I will be ordering a different brand of inverter. I read a lot of reviews but very seldom write one. This time I feel the need to warn people about a design flaw or at least give others the reason they would see the same problem I had. If you watch the video it will fully explain what the problem is.

Let me start by saying I’m not going camping anywhere without coffee! After having several travel trailers and a 5th wheel, I am now fixing up the back of my RAM 1500 SLT for dry camping. With Coffee as a priority I started research on the best practical way to achieve it. My conclusion was an inverter and an electric Kurig. I read the instruction then hooked up the inverter to the battery I have in the back. Voilà… I have coffee. Worked like a charm. Next I’ll try a 700 watt microwave. Update: I’ve had the inverter now for 2 years and all is well. I hooked a 700 watt MainStay microwave from Walmart to it and it works great. No noise or cut offs. I have 2 lithium batteries in parallel that are always charged from a solar panel.

Gran producto. Muy robusto y de excelentes materiales.

Muy buen producto!! De calidad y a excelente precio

Adquirí uno y la verdad no es nada bueno y solo traía un ventilador y cuando conecto un aparato no jala no lo recomiendo y la corriente baja a 80volt la verdad no lo compren
