Not as good as I had hoped.

Date:December 7, 2011

"I bought this to power a 1/2hp column style sump pump that currently works fine on a 1000w Xantrex stand alone inverter.

I expected this would have the same inverter in it as my existing inverter but it does not. The unit would not start the pump at all, it kept overloading, it wouldn't even start my 1/3hp pump. It's possible I had a defective one, I never tried another. It would run a power drill I used to test it however."

Works good, but the cable and fuse is not included

Date:August 14, 2011

"I bought this unit and a deep cycle marine battery to run my 1/2 hp backup sump pump in my basement in case of a power outage during an electrical storm. I works great! The unit has a built in GFCI for safety, it can be wired directly into the home service panel to provide 120v AC continuously, and it recharges the marine battery automatically when the power comes on again. The only problem that I had was finding the recommended inline fuse and holder to run between the battery and the inverter. I had to order one from a local RV dealer and in the end, the fuse and wiring cables cost an extra hundred or so dollars."

Good price, questionable quality

Date:July 14, 2011

"Installed one of these units in my boat. After 4 weeks, the Inverter component within the unit stopped inverting power. Charger and AC passthrough continued to work. Fortunately, I kept my bill of sale and CdnTire exchanged the unit. Although I purchased the unit in June of 2011, it had a date of manufacture sticker of 2008, so obviously CdnTire have picked up old stock from Xantrex -- looks like the stock was from the time before Xantrex was purchased by Schneider and as I understand, there were some QC issues with them.

Interestingly, CdnTire have now begun to label the Xantrex units as Motomaster. The replacement unit now has the Motomaster name on it, but is exactly the same as the Xantrex.

CdnTire's price on these units at $149 is $2-300 better than any other outlet (check WestMarine).

One feature you need to watch is that the unit will automatically switch between shore power and battery power if shore power is lost. While this can be a good thing in that power is not lost, if the unit is unattended and switches to battery power it can potentially completely drain a battery bank. Unfortunately, this option is not configurable -- would be nice if that option could be turned on and off."

Fantastic product

Date:January 4, 2011

"I installed this inverter/charger in my smaller RV trailer last year when I renovated it. All I can say is that this unit is fantastic! It switches seamlessly between Shore power (plugged into the site) and battery power. Even if someone walks by and trips your plug while you are in the trailer watching TV, the inverter instantly starts making power from your battery bank, so you don't even miss a thing.

the 20amp charger is fully automatic, and charges the battery at two stages, bulk and trickle, until fully charged. It also supplies 12V power when plugged into the site to power all of your 12V accessories so as not to drain your battery.

I cannot say enough about this inverter. I would highly reccommend this to anyone looking for RV or marine purposes, and 1000 watts is enough for almost any non-heat producting device you can plug in. Also, the control panel and plugs are completely removable, so all that is visible in my RV is the outlet and the control box. Cleans up extremely nice."

Awesome unit

Date:September 10, 2009

"This is a great inverter/ charger. Top quality.

Power output is excellent - compared to my last inverter which would cause loud buzzing/ humming in laptop power brick, a/c, etc - this one: no buzz/ hum whatsoever.

The front panel comes off and can be mounted wherever you like it (it has a 25 foot cord included).

20 Amp battery charger kicks in when the unit receives 'good' 120v power from shore/ generator.

3 stage charging works great - much better charge then straight floating 14v like most chargers do.

120v also passes through unit when in charging mode, so you use shore/ generator power instead of batteries.

Lots of safety features.

Would highly recommend to anyone with a battery/ inverter system. Top notch."

I have a pellet stove i need 600 watts to run my fan , how long will this inverter last time wise...

morency

Answer:

The inverter keeps running until the battery runs out. Additionally, the unit may break down due to overheating, however once it's cool enough, restart it and it will continue to work.

Answer:

What are you running it off of? What type of batteries and amp hours.

SolarUser

Answer:

Depends on the size of battery that you hook up to the inverter! Bigger battery (stated in Ampere hours), the longer your run time. Try this... Watts x 1.15 (efficiency) / 12 = AMPS, which you then divide into the AMP/hour capacity of your battery.

Does this have AC pass through?

Question:

Does this have a relay to pass through AC when it's available or are you always running off the inverter?

tankd0g

Answer:

Yes, according to the manual it will switch between external "shore power" AC and the battery inverter in under 30 ms if shore power is lost, otherwise it passes shore power through to the AC outlets.

Can I use this unit as back up power in residential home?

Question:

Can I not use this as back up power to run my 120 AC sump pump? The NOMA UPS I've read is not reliable at all. All I need to buy is deep cycle batteries. Thx

Answer:

Calculate the wattage requirement to start the pump. A 1/2 hp pump requires 2,150 watts to start and a 1/3 hp pump requires 1,300 watts. The wattage requirement to operate the pump after start-up is approximately 60 percent of the total.

You never want to run an inverter at max or near-max output for any length of time if you can avoid it. For a sump-pump application you would likely need a 3000watt inverter in order to avoid any issues. This particular product outputs 1000 watts max, and 1200 peak on-demand (for start ups like your pump).

You may also look at water-powered pumps as a backup option. They run off your municipal water and are power-outtage proof.
