    First one I bought was dead on arrival. Returned it, and got a second one. It worked for exactly 1 month. Since it has multiple overload protections and it’s touted as one of the better inverters I wasn’t worried about it too much. I overloaded it one time, for a few seconds, and it died with no buzzer, or lights or any notifications at all that it was being overloaded, and now it is dead.

    This is a heavy duty pure sine wave inverter. I have used it a couple of times and it seems to be working well although it sucks a lot of watts when using the microwave for just one minute. It does run the refrigerator and other smaller 120 devices easily though. I installed this in the rv dinette bench and ran the wires to the battery compartment right next to the dinette. I used the recommended 4/0 wire so be sure to buy the flexible stuff for working in close quarters.

    I run this 24 seven and so far it’s been flawless. I bought it based on its reliability so time will tell. I do think the fan runs more often than it needs to and it’s fairly loud. I understand keeping the unit cool contributes to its reliability though .

    I trust the Samlex brand and when looking for a quality inverter selected this 3000W unit. Works as spec’d however long term reliability is yet to be determined. Hard to find an absolute high quality inverter unless selecting a very expensive and heavy low frequency commercial model.

    This unit replaced a Sunforce which melted when the cooling fans stopped working. Well made and has been working great since May 2016 running my house loads, TV, ceiling fans, lights, general outlet loads and hungry tower PC.
    Oct 2017. Unit stopped working whilst running house lights. A few 9W lights with nothing else. Am now in the interim running those lights on a small 300 W modified sine wave which I dug out from the cupboard which is twenty years old!! Beats me!

    What a nightmare! Unplugged my old inverter and hung this one in its place.
    Even ordered new bigger cables for it. Paired with a Midnight Classic 200 C.C.
    Worked great for 2 months. Came out to the garage one day and the red light
    on a it was screaming loud. Did some basic troubleshooting and nothing.
    Wouldn’t even power a 100 watt light bulb for four minutes before Red light.
    Called Samlex Tech Support; I am east coast; they are west coast.
    Tech guy was great, very helpful and ran me through lots of tests.
    Long story short; Samlex would replace the unit.
    Then began 2.5 months of hell. I had to package it up in the original box.
    Who keeps boxes. (I do ) Had to pay $80 to send the dead unit back.
    After 2 months of nonstop emails I finally got another unit.
    Quickly put it on CraigsList. Thanks for nothing Scamlex !
    Should have paid attention to the negative review !!!

    I love xantrex i had a 3000 watts and a 2000 watts and they work great, but know i decide to test samlex pst 3000 watt inverter because since 2011 i had a 3000 watts 12 volt solar system for regular use doing day time, and since i got samlex 1 month ago it is working great, except i had to use a regular fan to avoid the inverter fan from coming on all the time, and since i did that no more inverter fan. But for know it is working great let see if it beats xantrex that it lasted me 6 years without a problem using it every day.

    I looked at all of the different options and this was the one for me. It is more expensive but you get what you pay for. It comes with neutral-ground bond out of the box so you can use it without having to make any additional neutral-ground plug.

    Runs my furnance and freezers without any difficulty. Tried the Giandel which failed for me twice within days.
