BESTEK 600W Power Inverter DC 12V to AC 230V 240V Converter Power Supply with Cigarette Lighter Adapter in Car and Crocodile Clip for Battery

Bought this off Amazon Warehouse so it represented even better value for money. It appears well made, sturdy and comes equipped with both jump and cigarette type leads plus spare fuses although I have only used and plan on using the former. It also has a couple of usb ports. Compared to the cost of buying a stand alone power supply I got this item and a suitable 12V battery for less than £100, a good quality equivalent portable power station would be at least four to five times that amount and I already have a couple of good quality trickle chargers for use with other leisure batteries which also kept the cost down.

Great to have in the car to run laptops etc. I run it off the 12V socket when driving. Sometimes needs to 'warm' up a little after plugging in before the green light will come on and start supplying 240V. I suppose this is to do with the transformer. Works well though. Allows my wife to use the laptop on long journeys using the smartphone as a hotspot.Great when camping if you have an old caravan or a soalr panel and you must have 240V socket.

Great product that I'm using to run a mix of flourescent and (mains powered) led lights in remote stables using solar power and a battery. The load is currently only 170 watts but the spare capacity allows for expansion of the lights and other uses. I still need to check the current being drawn if the unit is left on when not in use but, contrary to what I have read, I would highlight that the cooling fan doesn't run all the time if there is no load. As my lights are switched via a light switch then if the lights are off then the fan stays off and comes on as soon as I switch the lights on. The load can be applied while the invertor is switched on, it just goes through a slow start-up which is not noticeable other than the led on the invertor goes from red to green. I did run my battery down at one point and found that the unit had it's one LED on probably indicating a battery undervoltage. The unit seems to be of good quality although I did note that the neutral terminal on my invertor turns slightly so I assume is not tightened correctly within the invertor but it's working okay and I didn't want to take the unit apart to investigate. I would also point out that if you plan to draw the 600W that the invertor can supply.then you will need good sized cables for this to minimise power loss, I used 16mm cable as I needed a 1.5 metre run from the battery. With a 600W load you will be drawing 50amps from your 12volt battery and the supplied cables looked rather thin for this. You should also note that you won't get very long operation at this load from a 100Ah battery and more importantly you'll need a good set of solar panels to keep the battery charged in winter when you need lights the most. I have not used this to power any motors such as fans as you will see from other reviews that this is NOT a pure sine wave generator (ie like our mains power) , but a modified sine wave wave (basically a square wave) and so motors may tend to run hot.

I bought this to use in a show van to light up a few table lights . Due to the fact that I will only be using it for lights I decided that the less expensive 500 watts “non sine wave” would be fine for me. I am using a four foot extension lead and plug the lights into and It works well . I am using 3-4 watt led lamps in each of the lights and the inverter is performing as it should and lighting up the back of my showroom van . It feels sturdy and well built the 13 amp plug socket feels solid As does the cigarette socket too. Overall it feels like a good purchase and I would recommend it.

I bought this nearly 18 months ago specifically to use at car boot sales to enable me to 'prove' that the electrical items that I was selling did in fact work. It's rated at 300W but that is for a resistive load so don't go thinking that it will power everything rated as 300W. You will have to de-rate this if you are going to use it on a capacitive/inductive etc load. Nearly 18 months later and it's still working fine. It's well made, easy to operate and looks good. I am considering buying a larger version just so I can 'prove' more, higher powered electrical items. Definite 5* from me.

Item arrived on time. Looked forward to unpacking it. Looked and felt really sturdy, could hardly wait to try it out.Used via the lighter socket in my car.Got the green light, so far so good. Connected a 9v drill to unit, pressed the drill trigger and blew the fuse that works the door mirrors,plus the lighter socket. Tried it straight from the battery to confirm it was faulty, fan runs but no power output.Really disappointed. Was looking forward to using it on my narrowboat and replace the 350w i use at the moment, which struggles to cope. When informed, Amazon dealt with the prob immediately. Returned item and got a refund.

I have a motor home and travel extensively on the continent. We go for about 3 months at a time. We have a Hybrid freezer which serves as a fridge on 12 volt and a freezer on 230 volt when we have electric hook up.I bought a Bestek 600w 12v DC to 230 volt AC Inverter so as we could freeze everything before we left and then keep it frozen during the journey using the inverter plugged into the 'cig lighter' socket. When I set it all up in the van, I started the engine and plugged in the inverter. The fuse blew instantly for the cig lighter, 15 amp. I plugged into the amenity socket on the dashboard and same again, this 20 amp fuse blew. I replaced both fuses, disconnected the leisure battery and connected the inverter directly to the leisure battery but exactly the same happened again. Cannot explain this problem but as a result of this I returned the Inverter to Amazon. Got a refund instantly. The inverter did not do as the instructions suggested.Peter.

hi i use this to power lights in my garage of my car battery with engine running runs 4 x100w bulbs charges my battery for my impact wrench and jump pack all at the same time so for the money am very happy with it i,ve had it on for up to 8 hours at a time works fine hardly gets warm in use

BESTEK Inversor de Corriente para Coche 600W 12V a 220V, CC Adaptador, Cargador para Ordenador Portátil con Un Cable de Arranque con Pinzas y Un Enchufe Universal para iPhone, iPad, Tablet, Samsung, GPS y los Demás, Color RojoMe da gran seguridad he visto que trae al menos tres fusibles lo he probado para cargar el portátil desde el mechero del coche ha funcionado perfectamente por el momento puedo decir que estoy satisfecho con la compra. Lo cierto es que no soy ningún experto y mi pregunta seria es mejor conectarlo directamente a batería y dejarlo instalado dentro del vehículo ?? Lo única contra que le veo al producto es el gran tamaño y que no trae conectores para Usb que por el tamaño ya podría llevarlos incluidos

Ottimo apparecchio, usato ancora poco per dare una indicazione di durata, ma per l'uso fatto fino ad oggi direi che è migliore di altri inverter provati.l'ho usato per portare in accensione una stufa a pellet e farla funzionare per parecchie ore, senza neppure diventare molto caldo. L'ho provato anche per un televisore da 32 pollici che ha funzionato senza problemi. lo consiglierei senz'altro.

Eindeutige Kaufempfehlung. Nach zahllosen negativen Erfahrungen mit billigeren, viel zu lauten Wechselrichtern kann ich nur sagen: Das Gerät arbeitet bislang einwandfrei. Wichtigstes Kriterium meinerseits war die Lautstärke. Ich betreibe damit in Kombination mit einer 100AH-Solarbatterie ein CPAP-Gerät (Anti-Schnarch-Gerät). Daher muss es im (Nacht-)Betrieb sehr leise sein. Dieser Wechselrichter ist leise, hat ein hochwertiges Design, eine stabile Außenverarbeitung (zumindest das was man äußerlich sieht) und die Lieferung erfolgte prompt und unkompliziert. Es könnte sein, dass mir die 600 W zu viel Saft aus der Batterie saugen, aber da muss man halt in mehr Ah und ggf. ein kleines Solarmodul zum Zwischenladen investieren, will man autark sein.

C'était l'idéal de ne pas trop cher, et suffisant pour faire fonctionner de petits appareils électriques puissant. C'est très calme et de bonne qualité.

molto valido lo consiglio io lo uso per far funzionare un trapano da 5oo watt e si comporta molto bene
