Renogy 1000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter 12V DC to 120V AC Converter for Home, RV, Truck, Off-Grid Solar Power 110V with Built-in 5V/2.1A USB Port, Hardwire Remote Controller

The Renogy 1000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter is exactly what I needed for my DIY power bank project. It delivers clean, stable power for sensitive electronics and runs quietly without overheating. The build quality feels solid, and installation was straightforward. Great performance and reliability highly recommend for home, RV, or off-grid setups!

Good product, but not enough power for using it in semi truck. It’s still usable for one microwave or freezer but for both of them on time- shut down every couple of minutes

This runs my appliances cleanly without weird noise, flicker, or “something feels off” behavior. The Bluetooth monitoring is actually useful (not just a checkbox feature), and the install is straightforward as long as you plan your cable routing and fusing first. Feels like a legit upgrade.

Preface: I'm using this in a boat which is acceptable but not ideal. It has to do with the way the neutral and ground are connected. However, this is more of an issue with combo interval/charger units, and since this is strictly an inverter that gets turned off when we're finished with it, that makes it acceptable. Please consult a qualified marine electrician. Product evaluation: We are very happy with this inverter. The instructions are clear and it works as described. We have purposely purchased appliances that are lower wattage so that it can run 2-3 of them at once. As a test, I used it to heat a tank of water on the boat and it did the job. If the batteries dip below about 11.5 volts, it will keep working but start beeping. As you may know, flooded batteries (which we have) can drop down to 11.5 volts for a short period without harming them. Once the load is taken off, they generally "recover" to well over 12 volts. While the inverter comes with a wired remote on-off switch, we do not use it. As should always be installed, we have a rotary inverter power cut-off switch between the battery bank and the inverter. We simply leave the power switch on the inverter housing in the on position, then use the rotary switch to turn it on and off. We also installed a 250amp fuse between the battery and the rotory switch. Do not use the inverter without a proper fuse. The inverter comes with 2 battery cables but they were not adequate gauge for our application. There are tables online that will tell you for a given load and length of wire run what gauge you need. Do not gloss over these details. The wires being included could lead you to believe they are all that's needed to connect the inverter to the battery, but that would leave out the fuse and cut-off switch. We have now been using the inverter for a couple of months with zero issues. Because we have it installed where we can't easily see it, we like the short beep that it makes when we power it up. It gives a similar but longer beep when powered down. No negatives to report.

This inverter may be okay for simple RV or camping use — but if you're running ANYTHING mission-critical, stay away. We installed this Renogy 2000W pure sine inverter to power a VHF/UHF repeater site supporting emergency communications across rural Colorado. Despite perfect grounding, filtered AC lines, and a robust battery bank, this inverter began triggering false key-ups on our repeater — a potentially dangerous and unacceptable behavior. After exhaustive troubleshooting, it became clear: The inverter's internal transfer switch or AC circuitry is injecting noise or voltage spikes into the line — triggering receivers and falsely activating transmitters, even with controller logic turned off. Even worse: ✔️ No alarms or faults triggered ✔️ Battery levels nominal ✔️ Repeater receivers locked into "active" state ONLY when inverter AC was present ✔️ Issue resolved immediately when the inverter was disconnected We have extensive documentation, SDR audio recordings, and logs proving this — and this is the SECOND Renogy inverter with identical issues. Their support team plays the "stall game," asking for redundant info and now demanding product compatibility research for a clearly self-induced issue. We were ultimately forced to disconnect AC from the inverter and invest in an expensive Victron charger to maintain battery health — a workaround that shouldn't have been necessary. This is not a safe product for any critical communication or backup system. If you're running an off-grid repeater, surveillance node, emergency shed, or any public safety system, do not use Renogy inverters.

I’ve bought several Renogy panels, 2 charge controllers, and this inverter. Everything but this inverter had preformed to 9.5 of 10. This inverter has been nothing but a headache since I installed it. I installed it 6 months after purchase, didn’t check it out when I received it. What a mistake that was. Runs hotter than the book says it should, by 5 degrees C. Throws out codes like crazy one second then they disappear the next second. Load is only 400 watts or less. 12 volts DC. Fan doesnt kick in till it’s 50 C, book says max is 45 C. It is quiet though, voltage steady. No way to know how durable it is or isn’t. Traveling, who knows, I couldn’t say. Customer service, from Amazon was as expected due to the time passed. Customer service from Renogy, never had such a run around I my 67 years on this earth. It’s been a month since I filed a warranty claim with Renogy and I still don’t have a proper working inverter. A real disappointment this purchase is. Renogy had been my go to, now I’m rethinking that. Maybe I’ll see a warranty inverter one day, I emailed them 5 days ago about this. I was told the next day warranty had been approved, what ever that is supposed to mean. I’m not going to hold my breath. Update 10/24/2025 Renogy finally shipped me a warranty replacement, I installed it the next day. This is such a change from the POS I bought before, it’s like night and day. Not only is it not throwing codes out, it’s running at the factory specs. When it reaches 45 C, fan kicks on and the temperature drops like it should. I’m happy about that ! Side note, something I had no idea was going on till I received my replacement. Battery power is lasting longer, even with me putting a slightly larger load on it. The other was sucking my batteries down far too faster as it turns out. I believe I got what I paid for finally. I had to fight for it, which I don’t like, but I got it finally. Product wise, At this point, I give a 9.5 Customer Service, At this point, I give a 5 Changing my overall rating to a 7.5 December 9, 2025 Update Had this 3000 watt inverter running since it was installed about a day after arrival. Some things Renogy should change for the consumer. It runs hot even under a minimal load. I have run it at 10 watts for hours, and I have run it at 500 watts for hours. No matter what the load is it runs hot if you have it in a 70 degree Fahrenheit ( 21.1 ) Celsius environment. It will exceed the maximum operating temperature. It runs in a environment of 49 Fahrenheit and 9 Celsius really well. My opinion is is needs a lot more heat sink built into it, external fins might do it. Living in Interior Alaska, I can make the needed adjustments. It gets cool here. Other than the heat issue, it’s doing what I ask of it. I still give it a 7.5

I purchased this for a camper van build. So far it has worked great. There are a few things to consider when purchasing a power inverter. First would be size. Look at the components that you intend to use and make sure that you choose an inverter with adequate wattage. For my van this inverter powers my induction cooktop and is also wired to two standard electric outlets. My cooktop requires 1800 total watts which seems to be pretty standard give or take. Second thing that was important in choosing an inverter was the remote on/off switch. Inverters are going to be drawing power from your battery any time they are turned on regardless of if you are using them to power devices or not, so you do not want them on all the time. This inverter has a nice looking remote switch that I added to my master switch panel as seen in my second photo. The reason this was very important is because my inverter is located inside my storage area and is not easily assessable. The switch comes with plenty of wire to run it anywhere in the vehicle and has an indicator light to show when it’s switched on. Third would be noise level. All inverters have cooling fans and some can be very noisy. This inverter has a very quiet fan. I doubt I will ever be able to even hear it running from the cargo area. The inverter has a sturdy steel mounting plate on the bottom that is visible in my first photo. All things considered I am really pleased with this purchase. The inverter works well and was well designed.

Has worked great. Had it in my old RV and recently moved it into the new RV and it still works as expected.
