LVYUAN 1000W/2000W Peak Power Inverter DC 12V to 230V 240V AC Car Converter 12V Inverter with 4.8 A 4 USB 3 AC Sockets Car Adapter With LED Display

I bought this to mainly charge my phone, laptop and drone in my van and it has performed excellently. The fan is a tad noisy, but that's not an issue really and my only other slight criticism is... I wish the leads were a bit longer. I connect mine directly to the leisure battery, so the shorter leads mean I'm somewhat limited where I can mount the inverter. Again, not a big problem and I will get to making my own leads eventually to get round this slight inconvenience. The inverter itself ihas performed without fault, so generally I'm very happy.

Good quality, but to obtain the 1 KW output you will need more than one leisure battery. 120 amp hour, is not enough. Input leads are crimped, bit not soldered. Cooling fan is noisy, but efficient. Overall, very good

So far has worked well. Bit dubious about the accuracy of the read outs but have used for 2 weekend solidly with numerous devices connected with no issues

I feel a bit of a cad giving a bad review, after using this inverter for a purpose for which it was probably never designed. But I think people need to know that it can create a serious shock hazard when used in particular ways. I bought it to replace a petrol generator that supplies a shed that does not have a mains electricity supply. The shed has a distribution board with neutral and ground bonded, which is required to comply with electrical safety standards, and so that shock protection equipment (eg. RCDs) works correctly. Sadly, connecting this inverter to the existing installation had the result of very dangerous voltages appearing on the battery terminals. There is no electrical isolation between the DC and AC sides of the inverter, so (effectively) grounding its neutral AC terminal makes the battery terminals live.To be fair, the inverter is probably safe to use if you only connect an appliance to the built in mains sockets. Probably. I've also learned that most low-cost inverters work the same way -- they all have the same fundamental problem. So it's not as if you'll be able to buy a unit that has proper electrical isolation for the same price. If you want an inverter that can safely be wired into an existing electrical installation, you're in professional territory, and prices are about ten times as high.Leaving aside the fact that it can electrocute you (!) the inverter actually works quite well. The fan is quiet-running, although perhaps not so quiet that you'd want to sleep with it in the same room. It doesn't get more than warm-ish to the touch, even under high loads. There's a handy battery voltmeter so you can monitor the battery charge state. It has USB sockets, but I have no idea why anybody would use them, when you can get a 12V USB adapter for a couple of quid.One other thing I feel I have to point out -- there are people claiming that this unit will power a kettle. Well, it _will_ power a 1kW kettle, and these are widely available. However, when used this way the battery current will be over 80 amps. Even if your battery and cabling will stand this current, a standard car battery will boil a kettle maybe four times before it's too flat to use. You certainly need to be careful if you plan to use an inverter (any inverter, not just this one) for this kind of application.In short, there is no way I could have known, from reading the advertisements on the product's derisory "manual" that it would not be safe to use in my application. It's actually a decent product, apart from the safety issue; but that's like saying that sharks are quite interesting except when they're eating you. The manufacturer or seller should be much clearer about the applications where this product is safe to use.I'm currently saving up for a proper, professional-grade inverter and, once I've got one, I shall be selling or returning this one.

Got it for mobile sailing for WiFi

I was looking for a 12v inverter with three a/c UK sockets and 4 usb sockets. Technically this fulfills that. However, this and all the other Amazon/eBay triple socket inverters have an annoying issue: spacing.Many plugs are bigger the strict size of the UK holes which means they can obstruct the usb sockets which are directly above them (although this particular model thankfully only has two out of the four usb sockets above the plugs). The two UK sockets on the top are also too close together if your plug is bigger than the standard size at its sides. And the UK socket on the side is pointing downwards so if your plug has its wire out the front the wire gets squashed. It would also be nice to have the usb sockets 90 degrees different and further apart so they are spaced better as well.It might be easier to just get a simple inverter with a single a/c socket and plug a spaced out extension lead in that.Other than that, it's fan is always on so far but that might be standard for these types.

I've run several items from this on my car's battery (wired directly from the battery) it is very good. You need to watch the rating of the item you use (ie a 1000watt kettle may not) but if you are careful it will power plenty of stuff. Only gripe it the very noisy fan, which uses power all by itself, so I always switch off if the engine is not running.

Good quality and works well.
