I don't know how many times I have ask if this pure sine wave 1500 watt power Tec on inverter would run an average size refrigerator,,,, out of all the experts that give commentary here no one could really answer that question,,,, not really,,,, guess what,,,,, yes it will run my 15 or 16 cubic foot I believe it is,,,,, refrigerator in fact it runs it without breaking a sweat doesn't even get warm,,,, people review these all the time,,,, I didn't realize it,,,,, these things are huge,,,,this1500 watt model is anyway,,, they are not small and compact they are big boys ,,,,which is fine with me I feel like I'm getting my money's worth,,,, I think they weigh close to 13 pounds and they're they' big,,,, and take up alot of wall space however that's fine with me,,,, so far this thing works really good I can see where some of the other viewers stated you'll have to drill out your existing cabling from your battery pack to the inverter because the studs on the back of this inverter are not cheap,,,, they're beefy they are very big that's cool,,,,I used a Dremel tool with a cutter bit and I was done in nothing flat,,,, I use my existing cables on my system because they're 2/0 ,,,,already fused,,,, this is a preliminary review I guess,,,, somewhat premature really,,,, haven't used it a full 24 hours yet,,,,, I hooked up the remote control because how I've got it mounted I didn't feel like having to bend over every time I wanted to turn it on or off so that remote control is actually a very good feature I could probably use a longer cable and put it over by the refrigerator later on if I want to,,,, however I see no reason to do so at present I have it up high enough to where I cwalk right up and press the button and turn it on and off that is fine,,,,, I don't know how good or bad these units are in general I took a chance we'll see how it works out,,,, I was very pleased after I got my ground and hooked up the other two cables for positive and negative and my Earth ground and everything got it all set up,,,, plugged in a heavy gauge extension cord for my refrigerator,,,, and the inverter was all powered up ready to go,,,, they said it's best to do that with all inverters,,, pre power before plugging something in and turning it on,,,,, and to my surprise it did not even break a sweat didn't struggle or anything else,,,, refrigerator kicked right on,,,, I had been running it(the refrigerator) on a 1500 watt Harbor Freight centech inverter and it had to struggle a little bit and of course modified sine wave isn't good for the frige. it ran a little slower and I suppose a little hotter on a modified sine wave,,,, this inverter mimicks regular 120 60 hertz household grid power very well,,, refrigerator starts right up runs great,,,, I would also like to say so far I'm yet to hear the fans on this thing even kick on hopefully that's a good thing,,,, so far very pleased however I'll have to use it for a while before I can be sure,,, I have a small solar setup made up of several different things,,, if I can get a year-and-a-half for 2 years out of this inverter I will probably buy two or three more for the money I think it's well worth it so far time will tell.regards:::::Bill R................................... Update I have read where people have tried to use this inverter to run microwaves microwaves will use double and sometimes triple the rated power of an inverter at start up because of surge and most pure sine wave inverter's do not surge very highly if anyone wants to run a microwave on DC power this company sells different size inverters you would probably be better off going with a 2000 or 3000 W inverter if you plan to run a microwave or better still if you're in an RV you could get a DC powered microwave but then you have to make sure that your engines running because you need the power of the alternator to run it microwaves are very hard on your battery bank too they ring your batteries completely out after repeated usageas far as this 1500 W inverter that I've purchased here after nearly 6 months is doing very well running my refrigerator which is AN Frigidaire

I got this to power my Travel Trailer. I wanted to be able to run my tv, hair dryer and microwave without having to use my generator. I need a pure sine wave as well. This unit almost fits the bill. You will see from the pictures that the inverter does in fact produce a pure sine wave. It has no problem powering my TV and hair dryer and everything else in the trailer (except AC) but it will not power my 900 watt microwave oven. This seemed strange to me as the microwave oven states that it is 900 watts and the inverter is 1500 watts. I called the number listed in the manual and got through right away. I was put through to tech support and explained the situation. Tech support was very polite and explained that the wattage listed on the microwave is what is focused on cooking the food but that the microwave itself actually draws about twice that amount to make it happen. I verified this with the Internets “When the manufacturers refer to a 1000 watt oven they usually mean heat into food. The efficiency of ovens vary but it is quite common that a 1000 watt would consume 2000 watts”. For my needs I’m sticking with this unit. I don’t want to spend more money for a higher wattage unit. I’m happy with tech support and my purchase so far. If it doesn’t hold up I’ll update this review

I looked around a lot for a pure sine wave product in this wattage. This product works well, it's quiet, and meets my needs. The only ding I have against it is that it ships with battery connect cables that are too thin to allow it to reach full power. I had to go out and buy ($20) 2/0 cables to connect to the batteries so I could run this inverter at its rated power of 1,500 Watts.

Bought this for Irma hurricane " which hit Florida on sept.2017". I knew we were going to loose power so i went ahead and got this power invterter, I took my 2006 Volkswagen GTI car battery out and connected in pararell with my Fiance Honda Accord 2017 car battery "which have remote start" so i connected everything together and laid a power extention to my home. So this was the steps that i took, Left the hood open on the car, windows up and a/c off, with the car remote i turned the engine on from 8:00 am to 11:00am then i turned it off and back on from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Before going to sleep "Around 10:00pm i disconnected the refrigerator "since we didnt open it at night everything still frozen by next morning" we just left the fan and 2 lamps on until morning were the entire process repeats. SUPER long story short this thing was able to power a full size top freezer kenmore refrigerator, 4 lamps, cellphones charger, 2 walkies talkies charger" all cell towers were down", 1 small 32" tv, 1 floor standing fan, and my xbox one all at the same time. We were without power for 1 week, so when we had to cook I just disconected the fridge for a couple minutes while we cook on the counter top oven and small burner, the when we were done cooking, we just plug the refrigerator back. This inverter was inside the car the whole time and never got hot even with the windows up and the A/C off, it has 2 small fans which kept everything under control, and just for reference the car just used about 1/4 of the tank of gas which is about $12.00 of premiun gas and we had power, frozen food, cooked food, enterteiment, and comunication for a week, I would recommend this Power Inveter to anyone !!!
