300Watt Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter DC 12volt to AC 120volt Car Converter Adapter with Dual USB Ports for Smartphones Laptops Tablets

Powers my Starlink in the back of my Tesla Model Y. Works great, doesn’t seem to get hot. Plugs into the cigarette lighter plug in the back of a model y.

I bought this so I could run a couple house fans in my truck camper to circulate air. It plugged into an existing 12 volt socket adapter in the camper, and works like a charm!

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE 01/18/2024. Radios are unusable within 10 ft +- of this inverter. It still works but I've replaced it with a 600 watt pure sine wave inverter that doesn't interfere with radio waves. The new inverter was only $20 more and much more efficient as well. It generates less heat and no load current is still less than .3 amps.Well made and power saving small pure sine wave inverter. Perfect for laptops, LED lights, and light loads. Limited to about 120 watts because of it's design. Don't expect to run refrigerators, freezers, 250 watt heaters, hair dryers, or even small appliances like coffee grinders that might use 150 watts or more.This inverter works exceptionally well at 100 watts or less. More than that and it may start complaining. (i.e it will beep repeatedly to tell you it's not getting enough power from your battery to power your load.)I have a large inverter to will run power tools, freezers, vacuums, and heavy loads but it also wastes a lot of battery power when I'm only charging laptops and rechargeable flashlight batteries. I now use this small inverter 95% of the time to save power and only turn on the big inverter for a few minutes at a time when I need it.Pros:1. Compact size. About 7" long2. Clean 110 volt power for sensitive electronics3. LED lights don't flicker because it's pure sine wave4. Metal case to dissipate heat better5. Uses only .3 amps at idle with no load6. Fan virtually never comes on. (Inverter fans can increase power consumption significantly.)7. Case gets warm but not too hot to touch with loads under 100 watts8. Two 2.4 amp USB charging ports work even with the inverter off! Nice!9. Standard external fuse that's easy to replace. Extras includedCons:1. Will not output 300 watts because of cigarette lighter cord2. No external terminals to connect directly to a battery with heavier gauge wire (This might enable the inverter to produce the 300 watts it's rated for)I've never heard the fan come on even when the case is pretty warm. (Nice to save power but not nice for cooling.)3. No mounting plateI recommend this inverter for running a laptop and sensitive electronics because its inexpensive, pure sine wave, and conserves 12 volt battery power, but you will need a larger inverter for running anything over 120 watts.Update April 21, 2023: After 2 months of use I heard the fan running for the first time today. The room was 100F and the case was 107 degrees. Glad that it works and that the fan doesn't come needlessly like my other inverters do.

I've seen Giandel inverters on Amazon for a while now. They always seem to be well received and well reviewed, but I haven't had the need to buy a new inverter until recently. I was making due with some older modified sine wave inverters and they were doing the task well enough.So this one was bought to replace one I let the smoke out of. Honestly, i was looking more for an inverter to fit within a specific cubby in my battery box. I wasn't looking for performance per se, just size. This Giandel 300w fits the cubby perfectly so points for form factor. The performance, yeah I lucked out on that.For performance, its top notch. I am happy with it as it does what I intend for it to do - power smaller loads such as my laptop / mobile office or charge my cordless tool batteries when away from the house. It does the job effortlessly. There isn't much to say. It does what it is supposed to do, and that leaves for a less than thrilling review. Would i recommend, I absolutely do.Small quirk for an honest review to be complete.... it seems like this inverter will do a full power draw when you power it on. Self test i assume. When it does this test, it goes to town I guess. When I first plugged it in to verify it worked, it blew the 15 amp fuse I had it on. Well yeah, it'll do that you say. Yes it does, under load. I was expecting it to just turn on and sit there until loaded, but it seems to pull heavy current for that apparent self test. properly rated fuse (same as the fuse in the inverter) fixes this.Just a thought to consider.
