Victron Energy500VA 12-Volt 120V AC Pure Sine Wave Inverter, NEMA 5-15R

Victron quality in a very reliable, easy to install inverter. This unit barely makes any noise since the fan rarely runs, and when it does it is quieter than most models in its size range. Some units are just too noisy ...this one just hums along with its heavy transformer construction.

I purchased this inverter to use on my boat for charging my cell, tablets, and to power a Starlink mini.It was easy to install. So far I have used it to charge phone, tablet and cordless vacuum. Worked flawlessly and is super quiet. Although this inverter is more expensive than others out there, its a quality product and we'll worth the extra money. I recommend this product.

Been using this 2 months full-time in my Camper. No issues at all. Powers everything I need it too, which is mainly my gaming laptop. I had 3 gaming laptops running on it at the same time and didn't see any issues. Fan comes on sometimes, but its pretty quiet.

Take note this inverters rated at 90% efficiency at most all loads which is exceptional. A 100 watt load running a blower style fan resulted in the unit not heating up and no internal fan noise on a 80 degree day.I was able to power a 6.3amp 120 volt half inch hammer drill with this (used on concrete without any issues.) I have the inverter on some 8 gauge wire to a 100ah Lithium Iron Phosphate battery. It would not however run a typical 10amp saw and alerted me of tripping the overload (auto reset was prompt and automatic.) With the victron bluetooth adapter connected to the unit the APP lets me select the status of the inverter on / off / eco no matter what the switch position is set to eco / on etc. Additionally the app lets you set output AC voltage +/- from 120 vac for finer tuning of the output which was an unexpected feature. This is a solid product and I am confident it can handle 500 watt draw sustained and can briefly take a peak temporary starting load of about 950-1000 watts this is important for motors and drills. I would advise getting the 1200 watt version if you want to run a microwave or a table saw but make sure you have a battery bank capable of supplying 150-200Ah loads. If you want to run a gaming laptop or macbook pro for editing videos on the go save the money and go with the 250VA option it should do just fine and give more mounting options due to the smaller case size.Quick update. I was able to run a constant 400 watt load of florescent lighting. The unit ran warm and fan was cycling (fairly quiet.) The 8 gauge wire for this kind of constant load is ok for a short time less than an hour but wire was very warm to the touch. Definitely use 6 gauge wire (max it officially supports) or adapt it to utilize 4 gauge during install with some car amp power cable adapters.

Excellent build quality . Works beautifully as advertised. Can also operate remotely through the Bluetooth ( if you have the optional Bluetooth adaptor installed with the device - to be purchased separately ) , Seems pure sinewave because nor harmonic distortion on audio devices, No absolute sounds, Great value for money , sturdy. Overall , worth every penny. Very satisfied

Another great Victron product. Works great. Just wish they went by watts. Plus wish they made a bigger on that's just a inverter. Will buy again.

Great price for this high-quality invertor
