Disappointed
9 years ago
The product had clearly been open by another customer and was poorly sealed with Scotch tape. When opened the operating instruction were missing and one bracket on unit was broken. Returned to store for refund

Installed into my semi and I go to use it for the first time and it blows up. Smelled of burnt wires when I bought it. Should have listened to my gut instincts and returned ASAP.

Poor right out of the box
10 years ago
Bought this to use on a mini air compressor that came with a Coleman air mattress for camping.It would shut off 1 second after I turned on the air pump. Couldn't handle the small load of the air pump. It's going back.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Cooked it
11 years ago
I ran a 9 amp saw for about ten minutes and it cooked the AC side of the inverter(USB ports still work). I know that is right at the top limit of this inverter and maybe the start-up surge from my saw was peaking out at more than this unit could handle. Oh well, lesson learned... buy a bigger inverter. That was the first time I ever put a real load to it, so I can not really comment on anything else.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Q: Connect to solar panel directly while powering a connected device? Wondering if I could use this to connect your 1/6hp sump pump directly connected to a timer power bar, while the inverter is connected directly to a 60W solar panel? Will it be able to run if there's enough sun and shutdown if not?
10 years ago3 Answers
A: The Cat 1000 Watt power inverter is designed to run from a 12 Volt battery not directly connected to a solar panel. Regarding the 1/6HP sump pump, we would need to know the input current as well as the surge current to determine if the inverter could run the pump. Pumps and compressors have a surge requirement that can be up to 8 times the listed power requirements. For more information please contact our customer service department at 855-806-9228.

Q: what is the peak surge power for this unit? is there a remote??
11 years ago2 Answers
A: There is no remote. If you are concerned about the peak power limit, I would buy a larger inverter. Read my review. I ran my inverter just under the rated limit, but I still cooked it, I am assuming it was the peak surge from my saw that did it.

Q: Lorsque j'utilise l'onduleur pour faire marcher un moteur de fan (blower), l'onduleur fait parfois un son, comme une alerte. Pourquoi?
9 years ago1 Answer
- Translate with Google
A: Il y a quelques raisons pour lesquelles cela pourrait se produire. La tension de la batterie de la voiture est trop faible ou trop élevée. Le ventilateur / ventilateur attire plus de 1000 Watts en continu ou une poussée de l'appareil est à l'origine de l'unité pour aller plus de 1000 watts provoquant un défaut temporaire et la sonnette d'alarme.

Q: Does this connect directly to a 12 Volt SLA Battery?
10 years ago1 Answer
A: It can. This inverter comes with 3 leads: (1) 12V accessory plug so you can plug into a 12V outlet/cigarette light – note however that your limited to about 150W output with this method, (2) alligator clamps which you can use for temporary connection directly to a 12V battery and (3) hardwire leads which let you make a permanent connection directly to a 12V battery.

Q: will this work in a transport truck Can I use the battery clamps to temporarily hook up to my big rig that has more then one 12v battery wired together or will it cause damage to the inverter?
10 years ago1 Answer
A: Dear Muffman, The CAT 1000 watt power inverter should only be connected to a 12V battery system. Connecting it to a higher voltage system will damage the inverter.

Q: londulateur cat 1000w es tu assez fort pour faire marcher un four micro onde dans mon camion
10 years ago1 Answer
- Translate with Google
A: Attention à ne pas confondre la puissance de cuisson de votre micro-ondes avec sa consommation d'énergie. La consommation d'énergie doit être situé sur une étiquette sur le dos ou le dessous du micro-ondes. Si c'est seulement donnée en ampères, multiplier les ampères par volts pour obtenir watts (par exemple 8A x 120 V = 960W). Si elle est inférieure à 1000W, cet onduleur va travailler avec elle.
