Amazon Basics 1000W Car Power Inverter, 12V to AC 110V, Portable, 2 AC Outlets, USB Port, 13.81 x 7.44 x 3.07 inches

I was a bit skeptical when I ordered this 750W car inverter, wondering if the wiring to the cigarette lighter could handle it. But upon arrival, I quickly realized that it works fine with the lighter for devices under 100W, and for anything more powerful, it requires a direct connection to the car battery. Thankfully, it comes with special cables for that direct battery connection – exactly what I needed! Using it for the first time, I didn't catch right away that it had an on/off button, but once I figured that out, it was smooth sailing. It seems to smartly detect whether it's connected to the cigarette lighter or directly to the battery, which is pretty neat. The device also has estimates for power consumption of various devices, though these are rough guidelines since power needs can vary greatly. The build quality really impressed me; the plastic casing feels sturdy, and the inverter itself seems worth every penny. It's priced just right for its value. A must-have for any car owner looking for a reliable power source on the go!

great off grid. runs most stuff check to be sure.

This is a great product I was looking a long time for something like this i want to be able to charge my tools while driving. couldn't find something cheap and good and small until I found this one

Note to beginners: this is a Modified Sine Wave (MSW) inverter, a simple type that may not play well with motors or all electronics. I use MSW to run simple resistance loads like hotplates, crockpots, coffeemaker etc. If you want to run electronics or things with motors (like fans) then pony up for a Pure Sine Wave (PSW) inverter. ----- Amazon seems to be doing a good job picking products for their Basics line, and this is no exception. PRO: * the bolt-on terminals are vastly more sturdy than thumbscrews. This is a Big Deal IMO. * holds close to 120vac even under heavy loads (≥118v). When idling (no load) voltage sits ~114vac, not sure why. Some kind of power saving circuit causing that? * speaking of which, idle consumption is ~5w, not bad for an inverter at this price point. You can turn it off with the remote if you need to save that 5w. * having two outlets is handy. Each is capable of handling the rated 1000w. ie, it's not 2x 500w outlets as I've seen on some others. * the fan only comes on as needed and is not overly loud. Yes, you will hear it. CON * the only con I can come up with is the cycling Vdc/Vac/W display. I'd rather it show all at once or let you choose which to display permanently. It's annoying to sit there staring until the value you want shows up. It makes little difference in my use case since I measure system voltage with a shunt and loads with a Kill-a-Watt * updated to add: I thought of another nitpick. The 120vac outlets are "upside down" from usual (ground pin up) so I cannot plug in a kill-a-watt directly. I'll have to plug in a strip and plug the killawatt into that. A tiny thing, but it came to mind.

Nice to have in vehicle

This Amazon Basics 75W inverter is cheaply made and failed after normal use. The internal components (including low-quality capacitors and weak protection circuitry) clearly couldn’t handle real-world conditions. Instead of safely shutting down, it failed in a way that damaged my car’s ACC circuit. My ACC relay was ruined, and it’s not a common part. I had to wait 3 days for it to arrive and pay extra for expedited shipping just to get my car working again. Because of this poorly designed inverter, my car was unusable and my schedule was completely disrupted. This wasn’t a minor inconvenience — it was a huge disaster caused by a cheap product. Amazon is a massive company. There is no excuse for selling a power device under the “Basics” brand that can damage a vehicle. This inverter is unreliable, poorly engineered, and absolutely not worth the risk. Avoid it.

I love this. I have been on the road with my laptop and had no way of charging it. It made it so easy for me and made my life way easier when I’m on the road.

It's ok for small things. Didn't like charging a laptop. Kept shutting off and on again. I'm sure it's ok for small device
