I live out in a rural location, completely off the grid. My main power supply is directly dependant on this one item and out of all the things that have gone wrong in my remote location, this item has held to its claim.
Not long ago, my backup generator burnt out and getting a replacement part for it has been an adventure. However, in accordance with the claims of this product, I plugged in my car (Nissan Sentra), using a couple of jumper cables, to my batteries (3 RV Batteries). Using some common sense and practicality, I was able to live at my home using this method, quite comfortably, for a few weeks until I was able to fix things.
On another occasion, an electrical short in my home caused my electrical system to go a little haywire. This product held in, sounding alarms and whistles, and once the problem was taken care of, this little item held in there without a problem.
Living off the grid is an experience and not for just anyone, but this product has made it a whole lot easier.
On a side note, please see that this inverter uses a MODIFIED SINE WAVE. Do a little research on that before purchasing. Although I have had no unexpected problems, there are still some things you should be aware of before committing to using it.
Also, this inverter (as any would) uses a litte bit of electricity to function, including its cooling fan (not always running, but enough to use some power) and with the generator off, I've run down my batteries a time or two just by having it on.
Before attempting to hook this product up to a home electrical system, I strongly recommend some heavy research into how a circuit breaker box works. With a little research, some minor adjustments, and a lot of know-how, I was able to plug this device directly into an electrical socket and power my home through it.
