Worked first time every time. Used it in an RV conversion for several different appliances with one car battery as the power source. Worked well with one appliance or lights and charging a phone or other accessory. Our power source depleted quickly and needs to upgrade. Inverter is a good product needing a better power source than I used.

Works pretty good!! The only downside is that the car plug is kinda cheaper so it doesn’t plug in very smoothly, and kinda slips out. I have to press it in really hard and make sure not to move the inverter so that I don’t accidentally move the cable or anything. A little finicky but works great once it’s plugged in properly.

I bought this power bank but I do not feel comfortable with it. I thought it overheated but I'm not sure if that was normal. So I can not recommend to purchase or not. Do your own research.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Brand response from Cedar Electronics Team

Thanks for your feedback. If the inverter begins to overheat, it will trigger a temperature overload. The red light will blink and the unit will shut down automatically to protect itself. It will then monitor the temperature and attempt to restart once levels are safe. This is a normal safety feature built into the inverter. If you’d like us to walk through any troubleshooting with you, feel free to reach out to our support team at 800-543-1608.

Thank you for your review. In order to assist you better, we need a bit more information. Please check a few things:
1. Is the battery low and in need of charging? 2. Are the battery cables securely connected? 3. Is there a loose connection in the 12V vehicle accessory port (if you are using a 12V power cord)? 4. Is the appliance drawing excessive power from the battery?
Feel free to contact us at 800-543-1608. We’re happy to help!
