Just got mine and tried it on a Dyson home vacuum to make sure it works. Not sure of Dyson peak startup but it started/runs A-OK pulling 1100w continuous. Not sure why my earlier comment was deleted but I was able to get 10 dollars off by using promo code MINI. I understand my vehicle can only do about 40a continuous from the alternator but got this as part of my go-bag stuff because one never knows when some emergency AC might be useful - especially since we tow an all-electric camper.
thats weird, I did not delete it, Im sorry. thats great that its working well for you! im very impressed with these new inverters. when I first got into solar I bought a few cheaper inverters and they all blew up on me. these days seem like even the cheaper units are doing a lot better, and this one is one of the best ones.
I wish they would make a stand alone, 3,000 watt. I bought the inverter/charger planning to Mount it in my rv, but decided to build a portable power supply instead. The problem is that type of inverter weighs about 50-60 pounds, so add 3 x 100 amp hour batteries and the box will be at least 120 pounds, and my body can’t pick that up anymore, lol. The inverter/charger is also much, much larger, so not good to pack into a roll around tool tote. I really need the 3,000 because I want to be able to power my camper when I stop to rest, even fire up the AC for a nap, heat something in the microwave, or make some coffee, lol.
This was the vid I've been looking for to see the inside build quality. This unit looks identical (on the outside) to the Li-Time & Power Queen models both of which I saw hold over 2000 watts Continuous being fed with 200ah batteries. How would you rate this inverter build quality with the SWIPower 2k inverter?
@@GoingOffGrid101Interesting I'm considering the Power Queen 2000w inverter to upgrade my first emergency power station. I currently have a power bright 900 modified sine wave inverter. Thanks for all the details big help in finding something built well in this Sea of inverters out there.
@@GoingOffGrid101 Im new to the game but have been studying it for many years. Just got my first 100ah battery & two 100w panels with a 50amp charge controller. After I get everything installed will make amateur test vid. Fun stuff!
1800 watts on 12 volts is amazing
Inverters are getting good
That's a champ. Hope it lasts.😊
@@TheKiloG69 I'll find out lol

Try a reliable 3000w or the new design cnswi power 3000w
Very nice! I wish a company would make a small 1500w 12V inverter/charger. Small backup ups stype for sump pump or furnace.
I use an RV charger/maintainer for my old 12v setup and works great
I see that the AC outlet Ground terminals have no wires connected to it all. I like tear down video.
Yes, it's not designed to be hooked to a house
I learned a lot from you I understand you are busy ..I miss your content you slowed down on videos
thanks you! I am trying to get back into it, I have been putting out a video a week for the last few weeks

o thats a hard one. I like both. I have used the SWI a lot more (years) but the redodo did run more then the swi did in my test.

@@miguelsalami im glad it helped! off grid is the life :D

According to their web site, this inverter should handle a 4000 watt surge.
Normally the surge rating means nothing but in this case I kinda believe it :)
There's alot of good 12 volt inverters out there any more
Yes there definitely is Victron
