Giandel Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter 600W DC 12V to AC 240V Converter with Remote Controller & USB Port for Laptop Camera Smartphone

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.

4000w inverter has been constantly online for 15 months, working without problems, on the odd time I have exceeded its maximum load it disconnects and resets without problem, As advised, keep 12 volt .leads as short and as large size as possible,Wil. Buy a second for back up,Why did you choose this product over others?:I have a 3000w carry battery inverter which works fine but needed the extra power, a decision I am glad I made.

I took a bit of a punt with this inverter in 2020, not having heard of the make before. It has since then run flawlessly, doing everything asked of it. In the event where it's been overloaded, it simply restarts itself.Since it's a pure sine wave it runs literally anything from a hair dryer, induction hob, air fryer, immersion heater, hoover , you name it it'll run it.A great piece of kit.

We purchased the 2000W version of this inverter mainly for a back up, and to power the garage off grid, all had been fine for a few months since installation, however; recently the inverter developed a fault showing the code OL, and would not power up, I contacted the company and spoke to a really helpful lady [Elsa] and explained the situation, and even expressed that I wasn't sure what had happened and that the issue may have even been our fault, and was only contacting them to ask if there may be something they could do to help us resolve the situation, Elsa Asked if I could possibly send a short video of the unit showing the fault and any other information I thought may be relevant, which I did, after reviewing the info I sent, Elsa explained that the fault that had occurred was terminal, and therefore the unit couldn’t be easily repaired which made my heart sink, however; to my surprise Elsa then explained that they had decided to still honour the warrantee, and would get another unit out to me ASAP. The replacement unit arrived within two working days, unbelievable service, thank you Elsa and Giandel for your help on this matter, much appreciated!

This is connected to two solar panels and a deep discharge battery. I use it mostly for small stuff like charging laptops, phones and earphones, also running a hairdryer (300 W). My partner once plugged in a vacuum cleaner (1700W) into it and it shut off immediately so it can protect itself. Pleased with its performance.

A ok no probs

Fault LO straight out of the box. Contacted the manufacturer but as yet no response so boxed it up and sent it back. This item obviously was not tested before sending out. Very unhappy with unit. Hope it does not just get sent out to another re sale customer.

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
