BESTEK Power Inverter 1000 Watt DC 12 Volt, Power Converter 1000w DC to AC Converter for Car

Very impressed with this inverter. I was looking for a good amount of power and this thing delivered. It even worked better than a 2000w inverter I purchased. What makes this inverter great is not just that it delivers 1000w of power, but it also has an automatic fuse reset. Every time you exceed the amount of power it can deliver, it automatically resets and turns itself back on in seconds. This is extremely convenient since it eliminates the need of constantly having to manually reset, specially if the inverter isn’t right next to you. I pushed it to the limit to see how it would handle certain appliances. I was able to power my 50” TV, Internet router, Internet modem, surround sound system, Amazon echo plus, floor lamp and floor fan all at the same time. I was even able to power a hot plate with 2 burners on high with internet modem, router, tv and lamp on. With nothing else plugged i was able to power a small microwave. I did notice that the floor fan would slow down in speed every time I added a device, so your power consumption directly affects your other appliances. PLEASE NOTE!! Your car battery WILL AFFECT how much power this inverter delivers. I have 2 vehicles, a 2014 Chevy traverse and a 2011 Chevy Cruze. My test was done with both vehicles and I noticed major differences in performance. So if you aren’t able to power what I was able to power please note that it may just be your car. While attached to the Chevy traverse it was only able to power HALF of the appliances listed. Something about that car’s battery or power consumption handicaps my inverter. Connected to My Chevy Cruze on the other hand, this inverter is a home run!!! I am not sure why the inverter performance changes from car to car, but try it out with different vehicles before you decide it doesn’t work well. Both cars use different battery brands, I wonder if the brands are a factor. In conclusion, best inverter I’ve ever used.

This is a great 1000 watt inverter. I am a master electrician and I hard wired into my Van and I to run battery charges and power tools simultaneously. To test I connected a 3.5 amp battery charger and a 13 amp hammer drill and use the drill for 30 minutes and it ran like a champ. the drill ran the exact same as if it was plugged into a 120-volt AC outlet on a building and the charger had no problem charging up my batteries at the same time. it had a 16.5 amp pull off my vehicle battery so make sure you have your engine running if you want to use it as hard as I do. I'm sure this could handle a 700 watt microwave.

This is my initial review based on 1 camping trip using this inverter for my solar system. I will compare this inverter with the Ampeak 1000 watt, which I also own and purchased for this same purpose. Both the Bestek and the Ampeak easily powered all the devices that I intended using them for, which include a coffee maker, toaster, shop-vac, and a small refrigerator. Of course I don't use these at the same time. The differences between the two inverters as far as functionality are as follows. First, there is a big difference in the cooling fans. The Bestek fan is very quiet (possibly due in part to the pretty solid aluminum construction), whereas the Ampeaks fan is loud by comparison. Next, the Bestek fan only runs when the load is fairly high (I don't know what wattage output level triggers the fan as the Bestek doesn't have an output meter). The important thing is that the Bestek fan does not run while the refrigerator is running, except for just a split second when it starts up, which is almost unnoticeable. By comparison, the Ampeak fan runs the whole time the refrigerator runs, and because it is fairly loud, it gets annoying, especially at night when you are trying to sleep. My refrigerator runs about 1 1/2 minutes and is off about 3-4 minutes or so, depending on how warm it is in my camper. Both inverter fans run continuously while using the coffee maker and toaster, which is to be expected as these appliances push the output limit of the inverters. The only big difference when using these appliances is the loud fan of the Ampeak compared to the quiet fan of the Bestek. The last difference in the noise of these two inverters is the alarm on the Ampeak. When the battery level barely dips below the preset safety level the Ampeak sounds a beep. This happens when the refrigerator starts up due to the very brief power surge. After the battery level dips a little more it beeps twice. Eventually after about 20 hours or more it would finally sound a continuous alarm before finally shutting down. With my system this starts happening at about 1:00 AM in the morning, just when I'm about to go into a nice deep sleep! The alarm is totally useless, unless you just like to be woken up by an obnoxious beep every 4 minutes. The Bestek does not have a useless audible alarm, and so sleeping at night is virtually noise free. That is why I bought the Bestek to replace the Ampeak, because the Ampeak is much too loud to live with. The Ampeak has a wattage output meter, which I like and the Bestek doesn't. As far as the efficiency of the two inverters they are about the same, although because of the excessive fan usage of the Ampeak, I suspect the Bestek might be a little better. If you are using your inverter on a job site or any place where noise is not an issue, then both of these inverters would be fine. If noise is an issue, go with the Bestek. Finally, I can't speak about the durability of these products as I have not had either one long enough to tell. I do have a 2000 watt Bestek in my work van that I've had about a year or so, and it has held up great, and it powers all my work tools and battery charges with no problems.

This is a good inverter and does well. Wished I had went ahead and bought the bigger one so I would have more power during an outage. We was off grid a couple of years back for another a little over a week and with no power at all it was a tremendous hinderonce for everybody. Including me. Lol 😂😂🤣🤪‼️ 🏴‍☠️ Definitely‼️

Before buying this one , I search many stores, and see many reviews and see a lot of people are worried fans voice, but I think if the item need cooling down, it needs fan! I see my friends bought Bestek, so I followed them and bought Bestek’s products. And when I use low power electronic, the fan doesn't start, so not loud at all. Because 1000w is enough for me. At first I planned to buy a 2000w one, but later I thought that there were only few appliances for my daily use of car, and maybe I will buy a large one in the future. Anyway, I'm very happy with this 1000W inverter.

I bought the inverter to use powering decorative lights for our car club parade. I found an extra value in use during power outages at my house. Instead of dragging my generator out and using it during power outages I can connect this to my car battery. I only need power for my freezer and refrigerator during extended power outages and the Bestek inverter powers both at the same time. Less noise compared to using the generator while I just need to let the car idle during use. This is the second one I purchased, highly recommend it to others.

First of all, the product comes with power cables from the battery to the inverter that are roughly only 2 feet long. That means you either have to create your own connecting cables of suitable wire gauge or splice cable to make them usable so the power inverter can actually sit INSIDE your vehicle safe and away from engine heat and the elements. I’d have paid $90 for an inverter that had proper cables to allow for “in vehicle installation. But this inverter doesn’t make installing inside your vehicle possible if your battery is under the hood. Had the supplied cables been even 7 feet long, it would’ve made it possible to put the inverter on the floor of my vehicle and mount it securely there. I was nervous of letting this inverter stay “under the hood“ to allow it to power my ham radio and use it in a mobile setting. Will it “work” for people who would like to power up a ham radio inside your vehicle and use it remotely? Yes and with an auto tuner too. I have a Yaesu FTDX 101MP That has a 7 inch touchscreen with waterfall display. About 23amps needed. That uses quite a bit of power. This inverter was able to handle that. But the worry of “having it under the hood” made this a “no go” for me. Too much heat under the hood first of all and secondly, it’s not the cleanest location for the power inverter to be. I hope that helps people understand what you’re getting when you purchase this product.

Got this inverter because my old 1200 watt has cooling issues and I couldnt hook it up to my AC unit. Got a cheap one at first which claimed 2000w peak but it failed to start the AC unit. I decided to pay a little more and get a trusty Bestek unit. Works great and is able to startup my AC unit even when the batterys are low. Would recommend.

El producto que recibi simplemente no genereba la suficiente energia para que un foco alumbrara, daba luz muy baja. Tambien venia sin relleno la caja de entrega, y el sello roto en un extremo de la caja.
