Power Bright PW200-12 Power Inverter 200 Watt 12 Volt DC To 110 Volt AC

I own several inverters I've collected over the years. PB makes the best ones in my opinion and I own 3 of theirs.

PROS:

durable construction

quiet = fan only comes on when unit gets warm after initial power up

cool color :-)

CONS:

nope...nada....nothing here

Get this...you won't be sorry :-)

It's got an internal fan and heat sync system. The 10v and 0.1mA drop off protections where my selling points cause it's inverting from a 12V solar panel. Has good overload protection too, and is light weight.

Mine came in blue.

I have only used this once camping, but it powered everything we needed with no problem. We used a mattress pump and stereo at the same time with no issues. I have no idea how long the car battery would have lasted because I left the car on the whole time. What you can't see from the photo is that there is a car adapter wired directy into the unit. I was worried about this when I purchased it, but it was there.

Bought this as a energy saver in the RV to run a Cpap at night without the power drain of the large 2000 watt built in inverter. Works great and is very quiet.

My mistake when purchasing this unit was the fact that I didn't put it through its paces immediately after buying it. Instead, I felt confident the unit was sound and didn't use it for a long time. In this time, the unit sat in a drawer in a plastic case to keep dust and bugs out of the chassis.

A few months ago I had cause to use the inverter on a photography gig to run a 13" MacBook Pro. The thing blew out every fuse it touched. I called PowerBright customer service and was told my MacBook Pro drew too much power for a cigarette lighter circuit. "My bad." I figured and shelved the thing until I needed it this past weekend during a 60 hour power outage in Los Angeles.

I needed to charge my MacBook Pro and my cell phone, so I plugged the PowerBright into my cigarette lighter and it proceeded to pop the fuse immediately...without any of my devices even plugged into it. I then hooked up the supplied battery connectors to the inverter and connected it directly to my battery. Upon switching the unit on, there was a pop, a puff of smoke rolled out of the fan port and the air filled with the distinct smell of ozone, followed by a long beep, then silence. That was all she wrote.

I sent an email to PowerBright, explaining my situation and that it turns out I had in fact purchased a faulty unit. They basically told me too bad, I bought the thing so long ago it was well out of warranty and it would cost more to fix it than it would to replace it. Now I'm in the market for a new inverter and I can be certain of only one thing: it will not be a PowerBright.
