The inverter works exactly as promised - it'w well made by a reputable company. What they DON'T tell you, though, is that, depending on your application, you need a large (300)amp fuse to make things work. You can't just hook the inverter straight to your battery bank and expect to plug in a microwave, for instance. Even after talking to Xantrex, it took some detective work to figure out this was our problem. If you need a lot of watts, this is a great unit to go with. Just do your homework and order a fuse and fuse holder online the same time you order this unit.

I have owned a few inverters and this one is the best. My last one was a 1500 watt Xantrex which didn't have the digital reader that monitors the battery and the output. Uses minimal power when turned on and not being used. Cooling fan only comes on when needed. I am very pleased with this purchase.
