Cantonape 800W Car Power Inverter DC 12V to 110V/120V AC Converter with LCD Display Dual AC Outlets and USB Port Car Charger for Car Laptop Truck Black

Works well. Run at 460 watts (small space heater) for 5 hours. Fan runs but noise level is tolerable. Case gets warm after about 2 hours with MOSFET mounting points warm enough to be uncomfortable to touch for more than 5 seconds (so don’t do that LOL). The rest of the case is warm but reasonably so. For the price this 500 Watt PSW inverter works well. If your application is under 500 watts continuous this compact inverter should work fine. For a step above you might check out the Bestek 500 watt PSW inverter which easily handles 600 watts and stays lukewarm… but for $30 more. If you’re application is PSW under 400 WATTS watts continuous the Cantonape is a good choice. In my case this unit is for a 55 inch OLED TV, a surround sound bar, and a Roku. About 230 watts.

The fan kicks on every few minutes. It will not power a full load. The inverter turns off with the fault light on as it should with an overload. It will charge from the USB ports. The unit is defective does not run a anywhere to a 500W load. I have it connected to a 12v 600Ah battery bank of LiFePO4 batteries. Update: Sept 2025 The company's customer service rep reached out to me since the unit was not working as it should. To make a long story short the sent me a new unit to replace the one that didn't work right. Got the unit today and tested it. It works fine and even powers MUCH more than I was trying to do with the old one. So not everything is 100% all the time but the customer service rep was great and made it right. I am now giving this 5 stars for caring about the people and their products.

This 800W modified-sine-wave inverter works well on the 1/2HP (368W) ac vacuum pump even though it's a inductive load. Good investigation, instead of buying a 100ft extension cord.

Perfect for running 1-2gl compressor for car/truck tires

Zero stars.... absolute garbage, died with a 300w motor (measured starting amps at 4.2, running amps at 2.0)

Unit does give pure sine wave from what I can tell. And I haven't put enough of a load on it to drop voltage. But it does not have a low battery cutoff. I had to wire it through a solar charger to keep from ruining my battery and was able to read a 12 watt draw with no load from the 120v side. But for the money it is the largest sine wave inverter. And it does power what I need it to.

Using for tail gaiting. Works perfectly for a 42 inch LED TV! Definitely recommend!

Very pleased with this inverter. I liked the fact that this inverter had two displays for output and input voltages. I had no issues installing the inverter and running different types of equipment like lights, heaters and a 1/3hp motor. When testing the inverter I used an 800W heater with no problems, the inverter was connected to a small car battery. (details: output 120vac @ 6.6amps; Input 12.2vdc @ 78amps). My purpose for this inverter was to use it on a Sump Pump Battery back-up system I designed for my dad, the sump pump is a 1/3hp ac motor, fairly new motor so it was somewhat efficient only about 500W but because of the startup current I used a 1500W inverter just to insure it would start, anyway the inverter runs the pump just fine and my dad is thrilled. Side note: One time I accidently overloaded the inverter during testing and the inverter safely shut down, I was glad it was design so well.

Lo estoy usando en un robot con computadoras caras y de momento (un mes de uso) sin ningun problema tiene buena calidad en los materiales. Se calienta un poco pero dentro de lo normal. Buen producto
