The big problem with this unit is that the fan runs at high speed anytime the load is greater than 45 watts, even if the unit is stone cold. The fan is noisy, much louder than an average computer fan. It is annoying in an otherwise quiet room. The fan should be variable speed, with speed determined by the unit's internal temperature.Turned off, the unit pulls 3.3 milliamps. Turned on with no load it pulls 520 ma. The high voltage shutdown is at 14.8 volts. The low voltage alarm, a continuous loud high pitched squeal starts at 10.9 volts. The alarm cannot be disabled, so the unit is useless below that voltage.The efficiency was measured at several power levels by calculating (power out)/(power in). Only resistive loads were used, power factor = 1.0 so efficiency is equal to (volts out times amps out)/(volts in times amps in). The DC voltage was measured directly off the inverter power-in lugs to avoid including external wiring losses. Output parameters were measured with a P4400 watt meter.At 21 watts (118 volts ac x 0.18 amps)/(14.1 volts x 2.17 amps) = 0.69At 57 watts (117 volts ac x 0.49 amps)/(12.6 volts x 5.82 amps) = 0.78At 136 watts (115 volts ac x 1.18 amps)/(11.5 volts x 13.2 amps) = 0.89At 242 watts (115 volts ac x 2.11 amps)/(12.6 volts x 21.8 amps) = 0.88At 544 watts (116 volts ac x 4.69 amps)/(11.8 volts x 54.6 amps) = 0.84At 580 watts (115 volts ac x 5.04 amps)/(11.7 volts x 61.0 amps) = 0.81At 590 watts the unit shuts down, even with plenty of voltage on the input lugs.At the minimum usable voltage the efficiency is;At 545 watts (111 volts ac x 4.91 amps)/(10.9 volts x 65.5 amps) = 0.76Powering a radio, there is some background noise on weak stations. Small power tools with variable speed controllers work well.Bottom line, if they fixed the fan problem it would be a decent unit.

The wind started blowing a couple of weeks ago and the power went out. I was interested to see if the cable Internet went out too. I quickly hooked up a modified sine wave inverter and powered the computer, monitor, modem, and router to the inverter. I had cable Internet and everything was working but my magicJack telephone service. It's not compatible with the noise from my older modified sine wave inverter.So, after reading a lot of reviews I bought the Samlex SSW-600-12A pure sine wave inverter. I hooked everything back up just the way I had when the power was out, and everything worked fine including the magicJack. Next time the power goes out I'll still be in business.I especially like the design of these new SSW series pure sine wave models. Very clean and with features you'd expect from much higher priced units.

The last ten years we have been using solar panels, batteries, and inverters for our remote hunting/camping locations to run everything from vacuums to televisions. Old Televisions worked fine on the cheap square wave inverters, but my HDTV did not like it. Samlex 600 to the rescue. The unit is quiet until you put a big load to it. It will run 3 CFL's and charge my cell phone without the fan. It will run my palm sander or charge a couple of 18v cordless tool batteries with the fan running. I would purchase another one in the future if the need arises, but you have to remember it is only 600 watts = 1/3 of one outlet in your house. It will not run most vacuums.I have been reading lots of Inverter reviews and I keep seeing one star reviews from people that do not understand Amps x volts = watts. The second complaint is "The Inverter beeps and won't run anything" The reason they beep is that they are being starved for power(bad/lack of battery capacity or battery cables are not large enough)or you are trying to run a something that requires more watts(1500 watt hair drier). A couple of tips to be a happy camper. Buy one a little bigger than you think you will need. Read the owners manual. Buy a volt meter/battery tester. Use 3' or less of #6 cable between your battery and inverter. 600 watts / 12.6 volts = 47.6 amps. If you buy a larger inverter your cables will need to be larger(read manual).
