This is a well built unit, nothing cheap about it. Delivery was fast with no problems. This is one beefy unit. Ran two CPAP machines w/humidifiers and a Vornado fan off it and it works perfectly. The last inverter I had (Modified Sine Wave) caused the fan to make a lot of noise, but it rus as quiet as when it is pluged in with this unit. The idle current draw (.8 amp I think) seems a little high, but I don't leave it on unless it is in use, so the no load draw is of no consequence to me. The bright green light lets you know when it is on, even in bright sunlight, but it can be a little bright if you plan on uning it in the bedroom for fans or CPAPs. There is no plastic on this unit, everything is metal. It is a little larger than I expected, but I assume that is for use as a heat sink. This unit never even gets warm when running a normal load and I have yet to hear the fan cycle on. Unlike a couple of others I had looked at, the battery cable terminals are solid square blocks of metal with an extra set of set screws included; no cheap plastic thumb terminials. You can really crank these connectors down and they keep the 4 gage cables I made down tight. You have to use the terminals provided to get a good fit since they have to insert into the terminal blocks. In other words, unless you are using a cable that is too thin, you can not just insert the wire into the unit or use ring terminal ends. They have to be the pin type. No cables included, but I knew that and had made my own anyway. If you have never used one of these units, it is very important to have good connections, keep the power cables to the unit as short as possible and use the correct gage wire. Solder them if you can, or at the very least, make sure the entire connector makes contact with all the wires in your cable. Putting the connector end in a vice and cranking it flat would work, but soldering is even better. Most of the problems I see with inverters is directly related to wire size or loose/poor connections.I wanted to be able to run two CPAPs, a floor fan and lamp from a 125 amp deep cycle battery when the power is out, so I mounted the inverter with wires attached, and a 12 volt power outlet on some plywood and mounted the whole thing to a hand dolly, which holds the battery, with two clevis pins so I can take it all off in seconds if I want to use the dolly for other things. This rig makes set up quick and easy and runs everything I want for about 3-4 nights to 60% discharge. Meanwhile the other battery is on the solar pannel and ready to swap out when needed.As far as I am concerned, while this unit may not have the power LED bars or a meter, like some of the others, the money it cost the other manufacturers to put in the cheap monitors, has been put into the quality of the parts that really do the work. You should know what load you are running on these things anyway before you buy one. Can't go wrong with this unit. Very happy with the product, the quality and the company.Update: I have been using this product for a solar system that powers my garage for about 6 months and it has worked flawlessly. Never even have heard the fan come on. Power drain at idle is not even noticable. Very solid unit. I had my doubts when I first purchased this, but it has exceeded my expectations. This a great product.

Bought two of these and for certain one is working like a charm, We are using these to power on location strobes included the Alien Bees and the Novatron flash system. The Novatro flash system works flawlessly even at 500W. Love the product great job Samelex

This pure sine wave inverter was not too expensive and does the trick. Small appliances work well with as opposed to modified sine wave inverters. It is also generally quiet unless working close to full capacity.Good value for money (I think, have had it only a few months)
