 Welcome to Real Gear Reviews. We're Mike and Julie Bennett. Today we're reviewing the Best Tech Power Inverter and Charger. Stay tuned! This piece of equipment basically allows you to plug this into your 12 volt adapter into your car, truck or motor home, comes into here and converts it to a regular plug-in like you might see in your house. And being a pure sine inverter, that means that it's clean energy like you would have in your home, which means it's safe for higher-end electronics like computers and cell phones and external monitors and such. If you see a modified sine, that energy is not quite as clean. It could still charge, but it could potentially damage some of your high-end electronics. And that's why we like the pure sine. Now you might see it says 300 watts. 300 watts means you can run a lot of these small appliances, but don't go trying to run a hairdryer or a cooktop or a hair iron or something like that. Those are usually 1,000 or 1,500 watt items, so you surely can't run that with a 300 watt item. This particular unit has two regular outlets, and it also has two USB outlets. It has an on and off switch, and it has an indicator light. It's usually green, but if it gets some bad energy, it'll turn red and it defaults, and you can't charge it, and you have to reset it by turning it off and back on again. And so this is using the power out of your vehicle's battery to turn it into energy that you'd use for a regular 120 volt, like a regular outlet like these. If you're charging with just the USB, you don't need to turn the unit on. But if you're trying to try and pull the bigger current to be able to charge a bigger appliance, then you need to turn this on. And then when you do that, you'll hear a little cooling fan turn on. Let me show you how this works. Take this charger, and put it in your 12 volt power outlet, or sometimes called a cigarette outlet. Put it in there. So you might hear the fan running now, because right now I'm charging my MiFi, my phone, my tablet, and my laptop all on this device. The fan definitely hear it. It's not so bad for me when I set it down a little further away from me and a little further away from the microphone. So I don't find the fan is too noisy. But remember, I'm only running that for a few hours while I charge the bigger devices, and when I'm done charging those, I just turn it right back off, and I can still be charging my USB items even when it's turned off. This is really compact and lightweight. It's about a pound and a half. It's about two inches by four inches by six inches. And as a comparison, this is an iPhone 6 Plus, so you can kind of see a comparison in size. It has multiple forms of protection. It has a built-in 40 amp fuse and auto shutdown to protect your device. This power inverter also has a low battery alarm, a low battery shutdown, overload protection, short circuit protection. It's lightweight, portable, yet powerful. You know, one of the things we love so much about these little portable inverters is our RV doesn't have solar. That was going to be a really big investment for us. We weren't willing to spring the money on just yet. So we do have a generator, but that gets noisy running the generator all day. And of course, it gets smelly. And of course, it costs money to run it in fuel. So having something like this not only saves us in terms of not having to listen to the generator noise or smell fumes, but also it saves us money on gas. So we're able to just use the coach battery to charge our devices for pretty much everything that we need to use during the day with our electronics. We keep one of these in our tow vehicle. And so if we're going on a long road trips and I want to recharge my camera batteries or cell phones or even a laptop computer, then that's really handy for that as well. We can just have power Eddie where we go. Has an 18 month warranty and it was only 40 bucks. So this Best Tech portable inverter charger is one of our favorite must have items for living, working on the road. It enables us to stay fully charged up, fully powered and connected.
