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

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.

To pull over 100 watts you will likely need to use a booster cable clamped onto the lighter plug. At first I thought it was not good because it would beep with 160w of load and stop. however it will sense the lack of current and cut out . It didn't blow the cig lighter fuse.I re tested it using a battery fully charged and a set of booster cables and I could pull 250watts from it no problem.Yes it runs induction loads such as motors.

It works exactly that I want, and a good price.

I bought this particular power cord because it has the 11 gauge wire. I use it for my portable amateur radio station. The quality is fair. I would like to see "High Quality" but...it is what it is. Unfortunately now-a-days high quality items are few and far between. With that said, after buying one of them....I bought two more so that should show what I think of them.

The media could not be loaded.  Tested this today and it appears to work with the Tesla. Comparison photo with the Bestek 500W pure sine wave that also works with the Tesla (but is much bigger and only two USB A with 2.4A each. Btw, for comparison, my 2023 MY provides approx 24 Watts max from the onboard power delivery up front.I like the metal body of this model for heat dissipation. Appears to built well on the outside, and it’s a small but nice touch to include a Velcro strap for storing the cord when not in use.My research indicates that the Tesla cigarette lighter power plugs are good for up to around 140W max (just looking at other people posting), so I’d say 300W rated capacity is plenty (which is why I plan to keep this model).
