If you live in an area prone to winter power outages, this Renogy Pure Sine Wave Inverter (with ATS) is a total game-changer. I bought this specifically to keep my pellet stove running when the grid goes down, and it has performed flawlessly. The "Automatic Switch" is a Lifesaver The standout feature here is the Built-in Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). Here’s how it works: • You plug the inverter into a standard wall outlet and plug your pellet stove into the inverter. • While the power is on, the inverter simply "passes through" the utility electricity to your stove. • The moment the power cuts out, the inverter senses the loss and switches over to battery power in about 15 milliseconds. It’s so fast that the pellet stove doesn't even flicker or go into a shutdown cycle—it just keeps on heating. This is a game changer, because usually if my pellet stove turns off unexpectedly the house can easily become filled with smoke since the fan in the stove shuts off. Why Pure Sine Wave Matters- Pellet stoves have sensitive circuit boards and internal fans. Cheap "Modified Sine Wave" inverters can hum or even fry the electronics. This Renogy unit provides Pure Sine Wave power, which is just as clean (if not cleaner) than what comes out of your wall. My stove runs perfectly quiet on it. Setup Note: Keep in mind that this is the inverter only. You will need to purchase a Deep Cycle Marine or RV battery separately to power it. I paired mine with a 100Ah battery, and it provides hours of backup heat. The Verdict: If you rely on a pellet stove for primary heat, don't risk a frozen house. This inverter is reliable, well-built, and the automatic switching means you don't have to fumble with cables in the dark. Highly recommended!

Preface: I'm using this in a boat which is acceptable but not ideal. It has to do with the way the neutral and ground are connected. However, this is more of an issue with combo interval/charger units, and since this is strictly an inverter that gets turned off when we're finished with it, that makes it acceptable. Please consult a qualified marine electrician. Product evaluation: We are very happy with this inverter. The instructions are clear and it works as described. We have purposely purchased appliances that are lower wattage so that it can run 2-3 of them at once. As a test, I used it to heat a tank of water on the boat and it did the job. If the batteries dip below about 11.5 volts, it will keep working but start beeping. As you may know, flooded batteries (which we have) can drop down to 11.5 volts for a short period without harming them. Once the load is taken off, they generally "recover" to well over 12 volts. While the inverter comes with a wired remote on-off switch, we do not use it. As should always be installed, we have a rotary inverter power cut-off switch between the battery bank and the inverter. We simply leave the power switch on the inverter housing in the on position, then use the rotary switch to turn it on and off. We also installed a 250amp fuse between the battery and the rotory switch. Do not use the inverter without a proper fuse. The inverter comes with 2 battery cables but they were not adequate gauge for our application. There are tables online that will tell you for a given load and length of wire run what gauge you need. Do not gloss over these details. The wires being included could lead you to believe they are all that's needed to connect the inverter to the battery, but that would leave out the fuse and cut-off switch. We have now been using the inverter for a couple of months with zero issues. Because we have it installed where we can't easily see it, we like the short beep that it makes when we power it up. It gives a similar but longer beep when powered down. No negatives to report.

This has been a great inverter for my fifth wheel camper. I wanted to get a solar setup and be able to run my chest freezer in the Arizona sun. This inverter runs nonstop keeping my freezer cold and occasionally running my 1” electric water pump at the same time. I have also used it with the freezer and a standalone AC unit on those 100+ days and it never had a problem as long as the sun was good. It has been very reliable and I may purchase another one for a vehicle soon. Running with 600 watts of solar panels by the way.

I was really excited to get this inverter and get it running in my camper. I especially liked the remote control because the inverter was to go inside a difficult to access location which was perfect for the inverter. The remote on/off switch would make it easy to manage the inverter once it was up and running. The pure sine wave feature is also nice. Normally I would have tested the inverter prior to installing it, however it appeared to be well designed with robust features such as the threaded and locked lugs for hooking up the 12 volt cables. I also liked the extra 120v output connection for a permanent AC wire, which is what I was planning. I was a little bit put off by the 3 foot long 12v cables because I don't need that much length, but I figured that if the inverter performed as expected, I would eventually shorten the cables to improve on voltage drop. After several hours of running AC wiring and setting up the space where the inverter would sit in the trailer, I hooked up the inverter to the battery and then switched it on. The fans started up, the green light was on, then a beep, then the red light came on and it shut down. I shut if off and tried a few more times with the same result. The Owners Manual troubleshooting stated that if this happened, the first thing is to make sure the incoming voltage was no higher than 16.5 volts and no lower than 10 volts. I measured the battery terminals and got 13.3 volts. Even with the three foot 4.0 gauge cables, 13.3 volts at the battery are nicely within the acceptable range. Next, troubleshooting said that inverter could be overheating. Since I just turned it on, and there was no load on it, that's not the problem. Check to see if the operating load is excessive on the output side. I had nothing hooked up to it, so that's not the problem. One last possibility: "The inverter is short circuited". Now that's intriguing. Troubleshooting specifies to disconnect the inverter and turn off the switch to reset. I did that several times and the same thing only happened; it would come on and then sound the alarm and the red light and then shut down. If only shutting off something and then restarting it would fix an internal short. I then removed the inverter from the trailer and tested it using a 12V battery on the bench, with no AC wiring connected to it. Same thing. Clearly this is a faulty unit. I'm shipping it back to Amazon. Lesson learned. Given that others have received bricked units from the get go, I should have benched tested this inverter before setting everything up and then finding out the inverter is non-functioning. In the long run however, I don't look at the time spent so far as lost because most of the work was in the AC wiring for the trailer, and that can be used no matter which inverter I finally install.

* The fans start automatically for 1 minute every 30 minutes, regardless of the temperature. This is very loud, and it feels like a plane is taking off even on grid bypass mode. * 1 and 2kw models include cables, which is very disappointing when you buy the 3kw one. Same thing for ECO mode, this makes it feel like the 2kw is the premium one. * Each AC outlet can only handle 15amps. This is true for both 2kw and 3kw models. * ATS works fast and nicely, but under load it can do a short blip. * The range for Bluetooth is very limited, though it's nice to have it included. * Over-voltage and other protections works fine (Though disappointing to have it triggered by a Renogy MPPT using a default LI profile) * It's been working flawlessly for several months now, pretty useful for power outages * Idle draw is very low, based on shunt readings its ~8w steady (with ~18w spikes when the fans turn on each minute every 30 minutes in bypass mode).

Cables are rated 200A with 3/8” Copper Eyelet Lugs, excellent cables. These lugs will work fine with 5/16” marine terminals. For 1/4” terminals, you’ll need a washer. Arcs pretty aggressively, recommend connecting positive line first while unit is switched OFF. This is a sign that there are big caps and might handle big inductive loads well. At 180W, fans are completely off. If you put your ear to the unit, there is an almost imperceptible hum. The tone is lower pitched and is not bothersome or even detectable from a few feet. Connecting/Disconnecting smaller 100W inductive loads doesn’t cause power loss like in cheaper units such as Potek 2000W Pure Sine Wave inverter. At 320W, fans are still off. The hum is now almost undetectable with your ear to the unit. At 1050W, the fans are still off and still almost exactly 120V AC. I’m impressed. All lines and terminals are ice cold. The hum has taken a new tone, but it is barely detectable with your ear to the unit. At 1130W, the fans are on low. Unfortunately, a high frequency squeal is added to the noise profile that I can hear from 20 feet away. I have young ears (age 30s) and can hear 15kHz+ no problem. You probably aren’t using this thing as a pillow at night, but just be aware. I'm calling the upper limit at 1100W continuous for my personal use because the noise drives me nuts. YMMV. At 1600W, my battery bank voltage drops to 10.8V which may indicate that I am reaching the limits of what loads I can reasonably test with only two batteries and low charge. The fans are at medium speed and we’ve dropped to 110V AC. The high pitched squeal is very slightly louder. It seems like the fans are responsible for the squeal. I will recharge the batteries and retest higher loads tomorrow. I am running out of appliances! This is the first inverter of four that has met, and actually exceeded my expectations. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this one. Literally the only issue I've come up with is the high pitched squeal at 1100W+, which is well above my camper van base load 98% of the time. I am a HAPPY CAMPER thus far, thank you Renogy for actually delivering a product that meets and even exceeds its specifications. This is my fourth inverter; all previous inverters were returned for one or more serious issues. At least one reviewer listed the soldered 25A fuses on the mainboard as an issue - they managed to blow one or more of them. I like this unit so much that I don't have the heart to test.

Good product, but not enough power for using it in semi truck. It’s still usable for one microwave or freezer but for both of them on time- shut down every couple of minutes
