GET THIS TODAY! Very reliable, sturdy structured device, it wont let you down, and the longevity is unreal, great buy for the money! May 17, 2012
Superior Power Without Voltage Drop's I have 2 of these units and they are excellent and reliable. The primary one is used in my over the road tractor trailer operation. I have a 6 plug outlet surge protector used on only one of the converter plug-ins and can run my microwave, corded vacume cleaner, my notebook computer, printer, and TV all at the same time with no voltage drop or tripping the overload protector on the converter and at the same time plug in my 1/2 inch electric drill or reciprocating saw while outside working on the truck and no power loss at all. These units are highly recomended by me and seem to hold up to very high usage without working a sweat, great device. I would say i would buy another but these seem to be so reliable i'm not sure i will ever need to. You ROCK TRIPP-LITE. December 20, 2011
Best value for the dollar I use this inverter in a motorhome. It works flawlessly, and produces absolutely no lines on the TV or any interferance on the radio. It powers the microwave, coffepot and all the other accessories in the motorhome. While driving I use it to power the refridgerator so that I do not have to have the propane turned on. It works as advertised and is almost as good as a pure sine wave inverter. December 8, 2011
Very powerfull and reliable. Powered 3 fullsize refrigerators and a sump pump flawlessly for 2 days straight during Hurricane Irene on a full tank of gas in my Toyota Highlander without the annoying sound of a generator. Very pleased and impressed with the quality and power of this little inverter. Highly recommended...Thanks Tripp-Lite. August 29, 2011

What is the difference between the HF series and FC series inverters?
Because they are able to support an overpower situation for an hour, FC series inverters are better suited for industrial or heavy-duty devices. HF series inverters are not capable of supporting overpower situations for more than 500 milliseconds.
What is the main difference between the PV and APS series inverters?
APS series inverters include a built-in battery charger.
