Hi Is it sine wave or modified sine wave?

Modified sine, also waveform varies with load. This inverters works well, much better than a certain high street store variety, and it's smaller too.

Can I use this as part of a solar power (160w) system in my shed?

If you mean from your batteries then Yes def that's what I do. I've run cables from my shed and have this in my conservatory. I also have a1000w inverter in the shed. I've got 2x 100w panels and 4x 100ah batteries. This item is fantastic and it doesn't need to be on to use the USB ports it just takes the 12v from the batteries and converts to 5v USB. Hope this helps.

Is the fan quite thanks

The fan is pretty loud. It is a good unit but it os far from silent. I use it in my shed on a solar system and you can hear it from quite far away.

Can I usethis directly from solar panel via dc to dc converter to inverter?

Don’t think you’d have enough continuous power to power any useful 240 appliance. Works perfectly well from a 12 V battery I keep an old car battery in there and run it from that.

Brilliant invertor!

I purchased this invertor to power my work laptop and other devices in the car. The unit is very small and compact (easily fits in a small glove compartment). The build quality is fantastic. I has two built in 30A fuses. You can use the cigarette lighter socket or connect it direct to your car battery. The fan is not too noisy, and the additional 4 USB ports, mean you can charge phones and tablets. The 400w is more than enough power. This device can even power game consoles and a Tv monitor!Forget the Maplins equivalent, I recommended this invertor from Bestek....

Great for camping

Very reasonable priced and feels good quality. Came with everything you need to connect to a battery or 12v socket.More importantly it works well and was a life saver for camping. Its rated at 400w so its easily charged all of our phones using the usb and power socket. Cant wait to use it with a solar panel and leisure battery

Works well, be aware the fan makes a noise.

Great service - Arrived in very quick time. This is an excellent little product: sturdy, compact, easy to use, and really saved my skin for a socially-distanced course with no power sockets. Ran a 45W LCDtv, and recharged my old MacBook from 9am til 4pm. Only given 4 stars as the fan makes a noise if using it in the same room as your tech, but it wasn’t excessive - no noisier than a projector, for example.

Very good inverter👍

Right out of the box I could tell this is a good piece of kit. Well made from premium materials. I hooked it up to a solar system and it did its job without any trouble. Now I am not by any means ever maxing it out ut it powers a Wifi router, two led workshop lights and can charge my assortment of power tool batteries via the two USB ports built in all at the same time, so for the money its a no brainer. Highly recommended and I would give 6 stars if I could.

Useless to use to power radio equipment

This unit generates huge amounts of radio interference even managing to block out 5 Live. I doubt it has ever been tested to see it meets Eu and UK specifications.Returned for a refund.

Excellent does what is says on the tin

I got this to run a PlayStation pro in my car for my son on long trips, it works perfectly l run it run it through the 12 volt socket with no problems. It is nice and small so can fit most places in a car. It stays cool the cooling fan is excellent. Definitely worth getting this if your looking for an inverter to go in a car.

It’s nice quality but won’t charge my lap top

If I’m using the laptop it just trips the inverter. You can hear it dropping the fan speed then it shows a red light.A real shame.
