GIANDEL Pure Sine Wave 2000W Power Inverter DC 12V to AC 240V 230V with LCD Display Dual 2.4A USB Port 2 UK Socket & 4.5m-long Remote Controller with 2-Year Warranty

Very nice quality Inverter which I have fitted to the metal side panel of the rock and roll bed in my Ford Transit Custom Camper, I picked Giandel as they give a two year warranty, the inverter has a very substantial aluminium housing which acts as an excellent heat sink and I only needed 1500W whereas most companies tend to provide either 1000W or 2000W inverters. 1500W is a great compromise as it will power EITHER my Kettle, Nespresso, Remoska or small fan heater without issue. My Camper setup is 175W Renogy solar panel into a 20A Renogy Rover MPPT, Renogy 20A DC to DC charger - both into a 220Ahr Leoch deep cycle AGM leisure battery, powering the Giandel Inverter.

I am a retired Senior Electronics Engineer who has spent a career in microchip design and the Space and Defence sector. I have in fact designed and built my own inverters in the past but this time, after thoroughly reviewing the market, I decided to purchase the above Giandel unit as it was both cheaper and easier to purchase it than to design and build my own. It is used to power a number of diverse aspects of our house from a LiFePo4 battery that’s charged from solar panels.Before purchasing this inverter and throughout the first 6 months of use I dealt with Elsa in the Giandel USA Customer Support Department. All my pre purchase questions were comprehensively addressed both competently and expediently and I could not have wished for a better after sales support service.I have been very impressed with the inverter too as it easily handled very demanding loads during the very hot (40C) British summer. The case warmed up but was never too hot to touch and its internal cooling fans turned on periodically to keep things running well. It is a ‘pure sine wave inverter’ that has a good clean sine wave output essential for driving most modern electronic loads such as computers and TV’s etc, which it handles very well. It’s also been running all our LED house lights & an external LED floodlight as well as fridge, freezer, DVD equipment, chargers, switched mode power supplies, electric garage door motor, dehydrator, garden illumination and fountain pump.However when I connected an air conditioning unit along with several other inductive loads my unit failed. I was initially surprised by this as the loads were within its 2,000W rating. However there were several inductive loads connected together which are certainly a major challenge for any inverter and so can be an issue. Inductive loads can effectively almost short out the supply at switch on, giving rise to very large power surges. I contacted Giandel Customer Support who asked me for a verification video showing the issue. I was truly astonished that within just 2 days Giandel had a replacement unit with me.Despite the issue I had and being aware of the very demanding load I placed on the unit, I believe both the product and the Giandel Customer Support team thoroughly merit a five star review. I consistently spend many thousands of pounds annually on electronic equipment and I have never experienced such first class customer support from any company. And so Giandel receive my highest commendation and I would recommend their product unconditionally.However nothing is 100% perfect and so I also list a number of very minor issues as customer feedback that Giandel might like to consider addressing on future models although none of these would prevent me purchasing this unit.The inverter is supplied with a comprehensive set of associated hardware (eg heavy duty battery cables, battery level monitor with associated cable, earth cable etc) all of which is excellent. However there are no plastic protective covers to fit over the 12V battery terminals which would be a helpful improvement. Otherwise a bit of PVC tape works well.There is a very useful display on the front of the inverter but with the inverter wall mounted, it’s not easy to read from above although at eye level its fine. So try not to mount this inverter too low down if you need to easily read the display.The remote battery level display supplied is a very useful feature, but I notice the new 1,000W version of this inverter comes with an improved remote display containing an excellent amount of helpful information such as power consumption and battery voltage etc. It would be a major improvement if this inverter came with this new remote monitor.In conclusion, I hope my balanced review is helpful to both Giandel as well as prospective clients. The PS2000-PBR Inverter is an excellent product that I’ve comprehensively tested in real life over 6 months. It works extremely well under very demanding conditions and is backed by truly legendary customer support. As with anything, minor improvements are always possible but this product thoroughly deserves nothing less than a five star review.The pictures show my inverter in operation 24/7 and the beautifully clean sine wave the inverter delivers under load on one of my laboratory oscilloscopes.

Suits my off grid backup system of 200ah battery/300watt solar to provide electricity as a backup..... as it happens we have now purchased a Induction hob and an electric kettle to use regularly off it, may save some cost on the electric bill in these unusual times.... seems silly having the power and not using it lol.So far it has performed great, remote wired to living room and AC cables run under floor to kitchen and living room so we can have "SOLAR" power available 24/7 at the flick of the remote all powered by this awesome Giandel inverter. Wife has hoovered up 4 times already using the Soft start feature on the inverter... she loves the way it slowly ramps up the power to the hoover motor, my floors have never been cleaner so its a win/win all round :-D

I purchased another Make and had to send it back as there was no output.I wanted an inverter that could run my 900w microwave when off the grid, everything else works on gas but the oven takes to long.On arrival I connected it to my new 12 volt 120ah heavy duty battery, it was easy to connect and was working within 15 minutes, I first tried a lamp, then a hair dryer and finally my microwave, it ran for a 5 minute test, the voltage on the battery dropped to 10.7 volts and using my tong tester to 135 amps all the time, so initially it looks good, longer term we will have to wait and see.

Works perfect as an inverter.But there is a small electrical whine from the unit - not loud but enough to notice if you're in the same room.Only real gripe is the screen is always illuminated - I'd like to be able to turn it off
