Product Description
This 400-watt power inverter has a built-in high speed cooling fan and overload protection shuts down the unit if the continuous load exceeds the recommended wattage.

This inverter protects against damaging current fluctuations and features a low battery alarm to protect the power source battery.

I use the 400w and 750w Schumacher inverters for work.
By William L. Nale
I work in the oil field service industry and basically live out of my truck. When I started, I bought the 400 watt unit to charge my laptop and run a printer. It works perfectly in the vehicle power outlet. I then bought a 1250 watt unit to run a microwave. I returned it after a few days as it was popping fuses. I then snagged a brand new 750 watt Schumacher on Ebay for 1/2 regular price. It runs my small microwave perfectly which has an 800 watt draw.. I monitored the inverter closely while the microwave was running and it got lukewarm, that was it... I'm very happy with both units as they serve my needs very well and economically.

Works well, efficient.
By John R. Pierce
I got this to run an AC inflator using a 12V 20AH sealed motorcycle battery. per my fluke multimeter, while the pump is running, this inverter draws about 13 amps off the 12V battery, thats about 155 watts. per my p5 kilowatt, the inflator is drawing about 148 watts., thats a very good efficiency.since the inflator only needs to run 5 minutes, it will hardly put a dent in the batteries charge (about 1 amp hour total).

By A. Bolz
This is a great inverter. A great value. I've definitely gotten my moneys worth out of this one and plan on having it for many more years.Pros: Several plug in options, super sturdy, reliable, mountable.Cons: Safety trip warning sound is loud and really obnoxious, no USB plug.
