Great Little Inverter
on December 4, 2022
Posted by: Walt
from El Paso, TX
I bought this to be able to power small AC appliances in my Lance trailer. We do mostly boondocking. We’ve got 45 gallon water tanks, a Renogy 200AH lithium battery, Renogy solar Adventurer controller, Renogy battery monitory, and 3 100 watt Renogy solar panels. We can live indefinitely off the grid with this setup - at least until the water runs out. :) We enjoy hiking and mountain bike riding. This bike riding often requires us to change flat tires, or at least fill them up frequently. We simply power on our little AC powered hot dog air tank with this inverter. It’s not enough to power the Trailer’s microwave, but that’s not why I bought it. I’d have to go up to 2000 watts to power it. But for what I bought it for it handles the task flawlessly, and for the cheapest coin.
I wired it to a transfer switch, along with the shore power. I can select which AC source I want to go directly to the power distribution panel of the Trailer. That way I select shore power or Inverter. Either way, they both provide AC power to all electrical outlets inside and outside the trailer while keeping the other source electrically isolated - that way I’m not providing current from the inverter to the shore power input of the trailer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I installed this in my camper. It produced 117 volt AC and runs either a toaster or coffee pot. My wife's hair dryer on low wattage works too. I like that it has a remote included. Also with one hard wire and two sockets, it very flexible. Of all the inverters, it has the best price too!

Amazing performance.

I spent three months putting the Renogy 1000 watt inverter through multiple tests for a magazine review article. The performance was excellent, and the efficiency was better than any other inverter I have tested. The superior design and construction should provide for very long life, and features like integrated USB charging just make sense. The included input cables and solid input terminals make for a safe and easy installation.
The Renogy 1000W is an exceptional bargain, and offers amazing performance even under heavy loads. Highly recommend!

This is fine quality for the money. I really like the potential connections for distributing power. The only thing I noticed was that the grounding/earthing screw was left out of the documentation, so I am assuming that is what it is.

it could have had better directions. When it turns on the red light above the triangle with and exclamation point comes on and it appears to click off. After extensive checking to see that I had wired it correctly a friend suggested I plug a light into it and see what happens. It did the exact same thing and a second later the light came on. I wasted lots of time trying to figure out why this was happening. It should have been explained in the instructions. Or is it a malfunction still?... I don't know

Works beyond 1000 watts!

Bought just the 1000 watt to run my 600 watt coffee pot! A pleasant surprise allows it to power my 1250 watt microwave for 6 mins without shutting down. Yes the wires to battery run warm and the fans in the inverter come on, but I get to nuke my leftovers!

Great so far. Hard wired outlets in my travel trailer to work off the invite. Great for off grid camping.

Installed on my sailboat in lazaret. Relatively easy to install. Remote switch is nice to have. Did not use cables due to insufficient length. Wish inverter had auto/manual transfer switch to connect/isolate shore power. Ground connection insufficient to comply with ABYC standards.
