EDECOA Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter 3500W DC 12V to AC 120V with LCD Display and Remote Controller 4 AC Outlets and 1 AC Terminal Block- Upgraded

I installed the "version 2" inverter in my RV. I did not use the included 12 volt cables, as I opted for a hassle-free design; not risking overloading these thinner battery cables. I used 4/0 gauge wire and appropriate lugs to run ~4' total length (each) to connect 2 batteries in parallel, a 200 amp fuse, battery disconnect, and negative shunt. While all the components are next to one another, this is how much wire (cable) length I ended up using. I am able to power my 1800 watt microwave, as well as all other appliances which use less power (not all at the same time). I will NOT attempt to start my 15,000 btu A/C, due to the damage (from the inital power draw) it would do to my 200 amp-hour battery bank, so I can not speak on the feasibility of using the inverter for this purpose. I imagine it would stress the inverter with the initial start up draw as well, but this is just an opinion.You can not use your existing RV electrical circuits *as is," as they typically have "neutral" and "ground" bonded together in the breaker panel. This is was causes issues with compatibility as reported in other reviews. To isolate the existing circuits, (I isolated 3 circuits) I used DPDT switches (ASIN B00R8MMBWS) to switch between the two power sources, the breaker panel OR the inverter. You must have working knowledge of electrical principles to accomplish the integrated circuit installation, knowledge which can be obtained through research. Otherwise, just run dedicated circuits from the inverter, however, you would have to relocate your plugs whenever switching from inverter power to shore power or vice-versa.As others have commented, the unit has a large form factor, which may pose an issue if your space is limited, however, I found room for it, and I feel the size and volume of the inverter assists with heat disapation. I have yet to gave the cooling fans go on, so I can not answer to how loud they are.Some may think, "well of course he can power his 1800 watt microwave with a 3500 watt inverter." It important to note, with starting appliances, there is an initial power draw which can far exceed the stated wattage/amperage of electrical equipment, thus it is important to choose an inveter which exceeds the load you are requiring. This allows for a trouble-free installation. I am thus far, very pleased with the performance and value of this pure-sine wave inverter. I did extensive research prior to selecting this manufacturer. If you have the room, I would recommend this particular model.

very easily ran two freezers off ten solar panels during and after the storm. we use it full time anyway. saves twenty bucks a month and seldom starts cooling fan unless its really hot 100 outside. I just bought another . great job engineer its even better covering for the wires for permanent install. runs full time two years don't have a doubt . got here in four days too faster than told. yup !!!

I went solar on my Fleetwood Tioga Arrow RV. It has a 4kw generator but only uses 30 amps (3.6kw) max, so I purchased the 3.5 pure sine wave inverter as the main power source with the generator as back up if needed. I ran it four days straight continuously and never had to use the generator once. The solar setup I have is two 250 watt panels (total of 500 watts) with a 40 Amp MPPT Solar Charge Controller and four 100amp hour batteries. We used the lights, TV, Microwave, furnace and various other items. Very impressed with the unit.

I like this unit. It has enough power to operate my tools and air compressor. My only two vcomparison are, the remote cord is stiff and brittle. Would've been nice to have a more flexible cord. While running it through my conduit to the remote location the casing actually snapped, but the cord is still good. I will replace it though. My second complaint is with the supplied terminal wires. They're also a bit on the brittle side, although nothing has happened. Just has that feel, but mainly the terminal ends are to restrictive. I had to ream the positive end out so it would fit on the terminal bolt. These wires will also be replaced because I don't like the cluster of wires and would rather have 1 positive and 1 negative. I would recommend this product to anyone that's got a smaller off grid project or a camper setup. Definitely go bigger if you're expecting this to run a cabin or house.

I debated for a long time about what wattage of inverter I should get for my cargo trailer/camper conversion. With what I would be using, a 2000 watt would have been fine but I chose the 3500 watt for any future additions and I can not be happier. 1 marine/rv battery 100 ah hooked to this inverter and it ran my jig saw without any issues at all. Of course I had to try the 5000 btu ac, even though we had a cold front come through here in Texas and it's 65 degrees, and it ran flawlessly. Nice display shows the amp draw, battery life, input and output voltage. I am very happy I spent the extra money on this 3500 watt. Now for more batteries to run more things. Because of this unit, I will be upgrading my solar panels to be completely self sufficient when we camp.***Update*** This is absolutely worth every penny. Changed ac from a 5000 btu to a 9000 btu split unit. Total of 6 batteries and works great. I do have to run the ac on eco mode or the unit does get warm. Warm, not hot. Fan does come on when it does. Solar to batteries to inverter and after a year, still no problems.

This is a nice unit that in the first few hours of using to recharge tool batteries has worked flawlessly. I also used it to run an air compressor that runs to 200psi. The batteries did struggle a little giving up that much juice that quickly but you can see the status of your battery and the voltage, etc in the LCD screen. I have two batteries connected from a solar panel. It is just the right size wattage to run most things including big stuff like the compressor in a pinch. It did not overheat nor do the fans come on with small stuff like 3 battery charges for 18v cordless tools. It's a winner. Time will have to tell the longevity.
