I take this overlanding to run my coffee maker and usb fan for circulation when I am sleeping. After 4 days, I only lost one bar of power. Very happy with it, time will tell how it lasts.Okay, I'd like to share my comments after i used it for 20weeks.I took this out C inverter 1000W portable battery chargers 2 weeks ago when camping. It is really lightweight enough to fit into my pack with ease and leave me room for the other essentials. Imagine being in weeks worth of holidays and camping power at your fingertips for recharges, lights, portable fans, breathing machine because i have asthma, tablets etc. Then being able to say it never failed you, always recharged quickly, with the stories we suffered from California and Washington power outages as well as Texas Blizzard, the covid-19 pandemic, and any one of the many rv trips we take into gods country to get away from it all for a few weeks, we both agreed this was the best thing for our family. Why use heavy loud generators, carry fuel, deal with all that monotonous nonsense, when you could literally live off the CNNVETER power stations. and the products are literally second to none. The Converter 1000W is my newest addition and cost worthy compared with my 500W I have had. Twice the power, twice the life, multiple solar panel options. Can recharge through car sockets, wall outlets., or good of sunshine. I am just telling you that this amazing company which are also supplying foe WMT schumacher, hayworth etc., can enhance anyone's life, save somebodies life, and will probably last your the rest of yours. It is a no brainer for us.I'm getting used to sound it did make me jump a few times but the thing runs the whole time it's been used only used it to make coffee a few times works well I get coffee just hope it stays that wayWe got one for car trips and for use for occasional power outages, really like the portability aspect, works great for camping. We used it to power the internet and computer so we could continue working until the power returned, it worked well! The next time we lost power we will use it to power our freezer and small fridge. It is very simple to use and lasted until the power returned. We keep it charged so it is always ready to go when we need it. It’s safer to use than a generator, and ended up using it daily. And when I have needed portable power for some additional outdoor lighting - it was great! We have also taking it camping and on vacation to charge the kids various electronics.The power station constantly gives an overheating error even when in the shade and under a load that is less than 100 watts. For me, it's unusable for anything but recharging phones in the shade.Purchased this C Inverter August 2021 the 12volt output stopped working April 2022 contacted supplier.Replacement arrived this morning May 2022 No hassle EXCELENT!!! customer service .The CIinverter works as in the product description., would recomend both product and the customer serviceTakes 10-12 hours to charge via wall oitlet. Get less than 25% charge after three hour drive with automotive charge adapter. Will add another star if solar charging works when I get my panels. Tested the system on a 750w heater and it ran for 1 hr and 31 minutes off a full charge. Can get about 4 hrs of gaming off a high end PC w/ monitor.The conector ac dc for cable is not good***NOTE***Before you buy understand you can not return this item for ANY reason!!!!!The screen is impossible to read charge levels and/or usage settings.You CAN NOT charge and use power output simultaneously. Also, you must unplug solar input before operating power output features. THIS IS A MAJOR PAIN IN THE ______!For the $100 saving over the competition i would highly encourage you to buy the competition model.This model may appeal to remote campers who charge discharge.I couldn't find a better deal on price for a similarly sized lithium battery. I'm quite impressed with the build quality, it doesn't feel cheap and was a bit lighter than I was expecting, probably because i am so used to lead acid styles. It comes with all the cables you need to charge in various configurations in a nice case. The fans are quiet when they run - which they rarely do. There is a cool little screen that lets you see roughly how charged the battery is. It would be nicer if it gave you a decimal readout for more precision, but that is a bit nitpick. The display also lets you know what outputs are currently on (ie, usb, mains, or cigarette lighter style outputs). It is convenient being able to switch off individual banks right on the battery, instead of relying on secondary switches.I'm using this in my camper-van build to run a water pump and lights + van fan, and it works reliably. I've done 3 full discharge and charges at this point, each time it has lasted for approximately 6+ hours running my van items nearly continuously. No issues slowly charging via the cigarette lighter while the vehicle is on but it is much faster to bring in and plug into the mains power though. I'll hook up solar soon, and update on how well the built in solar charge management works.Strong power machine enough for your camping . Offer variety of power resource from starting your car to entertainment . If you have a big family you need to equip oneThis inverter is great! Very portable, lightweight, and holds a lot of charge to power small electronics. Small enough that I could bring it camping as well to keep devices powered, and it even has a built in flashlight. I like the large number of ports available to use, and as well, the tray on top is a nice feature.
