Summary: Excellent Inverter, but not for powering UPS
Comment: This DC/AC inverter is extremely well built and very quiet, even when the thermal-control fan is running. The terminals on the back are heavy-duty and come with washers and nuts.
I was planning to power my computer and satellite modem on my farm by connecting my existing APC UPS to this inverter, but for some reason the fault LED lights up and the inverter shuts down. Another reviewer mentioned this problem already, explaining it was because of the modified sine-wave technology. Refer to the following article to determine whether you need a true-sine wave inverter: http://www.roadtripamerica.com/dashboarding/Power-Inverters.htm
Anyway, when you connect an inverter like this to a battery, you are actually replicating a UPS, with two major advantages when living in remote locations:
-The first is that you can choose the battery capacity you want, and therefore the amount of time you can run your AC-powered devices in-between charges;
-The second is that you have a wide choice of options when it comes to recharging your battery (solar, wind, alternator etc.).
There are smaller and bigger versions of this inverter on Amazon, so it is easy to choose according to one's needs (in my case, 1000W is a huge overkill for the computer gear only, but I may be able to power a large LCD monitor or a TV in the future).

Summary: Disapointed
Comment: My family and I, ( all 12 of us ) camped at Badin Lake for a week and this Inverter died after a short time of working great, and it was working great. But after turning it off and on 3 or 4 times, She died and I could not bring her back. Thank God for my Genny, ( Read other review ). I sent the item back for a replacement, and Amazon sent me another at no charge. I haven't taken it out of the box yet so I can't tell you about that one. These inverters don't come with cables to hook it up. Thanks and God Bless, Rob.

Summary: Modified Sine Wave!!
Comment: So I purchased this inverter so I could run my computer off of solar power. Thinking I could plug my UPS (uninterpretable power supply) into it. You CANT! If you plan on plugging a UPS into this, don't, they require a Pure Sine wave. Other than that this unit works great! I am currently charging my laptop and cell phone from it.

Summary: Great Inverter
Comment: I've owned many inverters; some were so-so and some were excellent. This unit features an on-demand fan, which makes it quiet when idle. It replaced an also excellent 2500 watt unit I fried by mistake after several flawless years. This one is doing all I ask, with no problems. I've had it for a month or so and expect no problems at all. I'd certainly buy it again and recommend it for anyone interested in a quality inverter.

Summary: Finally a converter that runs my laptop
Comment: Laptop will power on and run and charge. Curtis inverters and a few others (lower capacity) would just beep and click off when the laptop was started. They were only good for recharging the laptop batteries when the laptop was off.
Would have liked a cigarette lighter plug in to power this inverter rather than the two kinda short leads that are supposed to be clipped to the car battery. I am supposed to install this under the hood or mount a battery inside my vehicle?
Works where others failed and for a good price so I will modify it to mount inside by extending the cables with some additional heavy gage wire and a fusible link. I would say do not even bother with sub 300 Watt inverters if you want to run a laptop.
