Wagan 2482 2000-Watt Continuous Power Inverter

It's a cheap 700W inverter, but definitely works well enough. I haven't measured the true power output, but it cranks out 300W all day with no problems. The waveform generator isn't the best in world (to be expected at this price point) so some of my AC-DC inverters (for example, my laptop's) emit a bit of a hum, but the waveform is sinusoidal enough to run them without problem and I don't have any worries about damaging them.It has an low-battery shutoff, an over-volatage detector, and its own fuses so it should be able to protect itself, your electronics, and your vehicle's battery without problem.My only real gripe is that even at this price point, the provided cables should be twice as long. However, longer ones are available for not much coin.Just as a note for people in the market for inverters, any inverter over 200W needs to be directly connected to the battery, regardless of what the manufacturer claims. This inverter will NOT plug into your lighter or accessory socket and nor should you try it, unless you like blowing fuses.

It works . I've tried it up to 1200 watts . Actually I tried it on various electronics . The no no are Tvs ( buzz light year ) microwaves ( got a scary buzz ) washing machine ( just a little buzz ) .. About the it yeah baby refrigerator works perfectly as well as lights . Heating and air wow perfect . I got this just in case another big earthquake hits Japan. At least we will be able to use the use things around the house like normal until things turn back to normal ?!?!??

Permanently installed on my boat. Works like a champ, can run power tools without a problem.BUT: the power quality is pretty atrocious. I looked at the waveshape with an oscilloscope and would NEVER EVER connect anything electronic to it. Even my Dremel tool refuses to run (I tried it and I suppose I got luck that I did not fry it with the inverter).Upshot: Know what you are getting. If you want to just run your power drill from your battery, this does it like a champ, and at a good price. But don't even think about connecting your laptop!

This was my second one. The first one I bought 5 years ago in San Pedro Sula Honduras and used it almost daily because the electric is horrible in Honduras so it ran my computer back up system. Here the electric goes up and down so much in incredible low and even more incredible spikes, that it is no uncommon to lose a lot of electrical appliances here every year. This new one is performing well and I have no complaints. It seems to be high quality. Would recommend highly.

This has no trouble powering my 12 amp orbital Sawzall or my 11 amp circular saw under load. It can even power an old wringer washer full of water. It can also power my 10 amp electric chainsaw, though the inverter's protection shuts it off if I force the saw too much. This implies that the chainsaw can draw far more than 10 amps or even 12 if stressed. Something to remember about power tool ratings. What you would think is a safe margin might not be, even though this inverter is supposed to be able to put out 3600 watts surge.

I got a SUV and it's installed in the back; powered from car battery. It has no problem to power up laptops, power drills, vacuums, etc.. However, I hooked up my 950 watt microwave and it lasted only 3-4 minutes. It went to ALARM mode (to prevent car battery from draining completely) and I had to shut it off.

I wasn't paying attention when I bought this unit (700 watt) and assumed it had a cig adapter that I could simply plug in. It doesn't (and yes, I see from the description that it never said that it did). That said, it's super-easy to clamp on to the car battery and it worked really well. I did not hard-wire it in to use while the vehicle was moving-- just while stopped.Takeaway- good unit, but don't buy if you need the cig adapter.

I have this inverter only 2 month .People like mostly this is why i have .The battery Power connecting on the back is not that good and slowly quit and burn out and this way more inside parts go wrong .After this service or what ? no return .If you have always on same place the inverter O.K but if you need to disconnect each time will `going bad .Two mounts is short life even lower cost product .

The converter arrived quickly and performs very well as per specifications. The unit is connected to two 6 volt deep cycle gulf cart batteries (connected in series to achieve 12 volts and 264 A/H). it is being used for a back up sump pump system in case of prolonged power failures. So far, I am very happy with this purchase.
