Renogy Inverter PUH, 1000W Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter with UPS Transfer Switch & Bluetooth, 12V DC to 120V AC Converter for RV, Truck, Home,Camping - 2000W Surge Power, Remote Monitoring

This inverter is working well. Very quiet, just a little fan noise, but I have it in a compartment under the fifth wheel bedroom so I can't even hear it running the fan when I'm inside. It is using very little wattage to run, just as advertised. I have no trouble running a couple televisions, charging phones, and using a couple C-PAP machines all night. Good product. Easy to install and Renogy has great customer support.

I *also* own a Renogy 2kw combined charger/inverter. That unit has an internal 30A transfer switch and is very fast to change over. HOWEVER, it has two serious issues: 1) The fan is on a LOT even when just charging lightly and 2) it has to be "on" to charge the battery bank. So this, plus a separate converter-charger, means (1) you move the plug from shore power to inverter when you need to. Or does it? Well, maybe not, if you are willing to run the same way. The reason is this: This unit is SILENT except when under pretty heavy load. So if you have a converter/charger that can deliver the amps you could turn this on whenever you have shore or generator power, the converter is on, and your plugged-in things are on this all the time. This is basically 15 amps of output (as is the 2kw all-in-one) but the transfer is manual -- other than none at all if you leave it on all the time when on shore or generator power. Is this viable? IMHO, yes, because the quiescent draw on this thing is only about 1 amp or roughly 12 watts. You can't leave it on ALL the time when there is no charge as obviously 1 amp will kill your pack BUT if you have a charge source 1 amp is not much -- and you silent operation except under heavy load. If your converter/charger fan is thermostatically controlled.... there you go. The biggest issue I have with all the integrated ones, whether Renogy, Victron or anyone else is noise level. This doesn't matter if the unit is not in inhabited space and far enough away that it doesn't matter, but if it IS in inhabited space then it really does matter quite a bit. No idea on reliability but it absolutely does put out the 120V, its sine-wave, and at least under light loads the fans never come on. Someone should figure out how to have ambient cooling except under heavy load and essentially be silent in something like the Victron MultiPlus (or equivalent Renogy) units, but until they do if noise is a factor separates win for that reason, along with charge being independent of the inverter being turned on.

The inverter has been working reliably and provides steady power for the equipment I’ve connected. The pure sine wave output and UPS transfer feature are especially useful, and the Bluetooth monitoring makes it easy to check performance. Setup is straightforward, though taking time to plan the wiring and mounting location helps. The unit is fairly large and heavy, so choosing the installation spot in advance is important. Overall, it’s a solid choice for backup power or an off-grid setup.

I have been using this inverter in my RV connected to my solar system. I have had 0 problems after over 2 years of use. I went with the larger model to make sure i could use my microwave which it handles with ease.

I purchased a Renogy 3000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter (Model: RIV1230PU-126) on September 7, 2025, and my experience has been extremely disappointing. The inverter stopped working suddenly after normal use. The last time it was used, it was powering a heat gun and worked perfectly fine. A few days later, when I tried to turn it on again, the inverter was completely dead — no lights, no fan, no sound, nothing. I verified the battery voltage (12–13V at the inverter terminals), checked all connections, and followed every troubleshooting step requested by Renogy support. I even provided additional details and testing results to help them diagnose the issue. Instead of providing a clear warranty solution, support kept asking the same basic questions over and over again. After several days of communication and cooperation from my side, the support case was simply closed without any real resolution. This inverter was installed correctly with a 12V lithium battery with a 200A BMS and heavy-gauge cables, exactly as recommended. There were no overloads, no misuse, and no visible damage. The unit just failed. For a product in this price range and from a company with Renogy’s reputation, this level of reliability and customer support is unacceptable. A power inverter should not fail this quickly under normal conditions, and customers should not have to fight to receive basic warranty support. Very frustrating experience.

Worthless, tech support horrible, under warranty but will not replace/refund. Let me explain further… I purchased this inverter for an off-grid Solar charged battery bank to run my Starlink and wifi camera, along with a 7k btu window unit. This setup is located in the Atchafalaya Basin, Louisiana (think the TV show “swamp people” that’s where this camp is) in the “middle of nowhere”. The battery bank consists of (8) 100ah 12v Flooded Lead Acid batteries wired in parallel for a useable 400ah bank. Batteries are wired together properly with 2/0 gauge jumpers and connected to the inverter with 3’ 2/0 gauge pure copper cables. Battery bank is charged/maintained by two Renogy charge controllers (1) 40amp MPPT with (4) 100w panels connected 2x2 (2-200watt strings). The second Renogy Charge controller is a 60amp MPPT with 3x1 240 watt solar panels. Plenty of power for what I want, and yes I know I could get more with a 24v system… but I went with Renogy 12v… big Mistake!! Everything worked fine for about two months. The Starlink was on, camera working, and I was able to turn the Wifi AC window unit on during the day to dehumidify the camp. Then one morning everything turned off, which required a trip down and 30 minute boat ride to investigate. The yellow GFCI light was on. So I wired the AC unit to the load terminals that supposedly provide more power, flipped the switch back to on, tested (and it worked) and returned home. Next day it happened again. So I called Amazon (who was the most helpful during this fiasco). Amazon directed me to Renogy because I was outside the 30 day return window. Renogy advised I needed to ground the inverter and use 4/0 wires to the 3000watt inverter. Note there isn’t anything in the instructions that specify what cables are required/recommend. So I make the long haul again with 10AWG stranded insulated copper wire, 8 gauge pure copper wire, an 8’ grounding rod, and brass grounding connectors. I sink the rod about 20’ in the mud, run the 8awg solid copper wire into the camp, and ground the inverter using the recommended 10AWG insulated stranded copper wire. I make the connection to the inverter using 2’ 4/0 pure copper cables, test, (it works!), and I return home. Next day everything shuts down again. I called Amazon who put me though to Asurion (I bought the insurance), who routed me back to Renogy because it was still under manufacture warranty. Renogy asked if I had performed any multimeter tests, which I had for my own curiosity (not directed to do so by Renogy) and so I reported my test results… 13.8 v DC no load, 120 v AC no load. Renogy said they needed picture evidence. I asked if I they could save me another trip down and allow me to return/replace the inverter, and they said no, no, no. I asked several times because I felt they just kept making things up for me to-do and not honor their warranty. They said I could return it (but wouldn’t allow me to do so) and they could test it, and if they found nothing wrong they would charge me for testing and shipping. At this point I really don’t trust them to “test” the inverter and accept that there’s something wrong with it. I tell them they need to honor their warranty, they direct me back to Amazon. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS INVERTER!!! Save your TIME and MONEY and buy another brand!!

It's been installed for several months now and has worked well. I installed in my boat and it powers my 10 cubic fridge and other assorted accessories without any trouble. The Bluetooth is great for monitoring the status and power levels of everything. Very solid and sturdy well made unit..

Works great for my solar setup ! Love the ac out u hooked a 30 rv plug to it and it works great only downside is I should of went bigger to run ac unit but I turn everything off and just run ac and it works great . Great inverter ! It’s been hot and I have it in a. Plastic bin and still does not overheat !

no lo pude usar no me sirve este equipo pues es de la mitad de la capacidad del equipo comprado llego uno de solo 1000W y compre uno de 2000W No puedo creer este error me frenó el equipamiento de mi RV y es básico este equipo, suspendido mi viaje una empresa como RENOGY debe responder Enviando el equipo comprado

This 3000watt inverter came quickly and on time. It was well packaged and simple to install. I got it hooked up to 500AHR 12volt battery bank in my trailer and the thing ran my AC unit and my fridge!! Obviously wouldn't do that lomg term as batts would drain fast, but it is nice to know, when off grid we can make toast and brew coffee at the same time! Very happy with the unit... I have only just installed it so have not used it for any length of time yet, but so far, so good!

I bought this 1000W on a promo mainly to run my chest freezer (149W) and fridge during an extended power outage. This model is great for that and barely dropped the power in my 100Ah LiFePO4 for about 8 hours. Already have three 50W hobby solar panels so in theory could extend for days. This model does not have enough power for a microwave (mine is 1300W) but I was aware of that when I purchased. Recommend you use a Kill A Watt device to determine before you place order. Cables are heavy duty and fan never came on during this minimal load. Love the fact it's pure sine wave, I can move it to friends house/camping with battery or run /charge off of car as well! Way cheaper and lighter than those solar generators if you already have some of the components

El producto es bueno y de gran calidad, pero amazon, no pone dentro de ningun emapaque la caja original del producto, la caja llego muy maltratada y rota, le recomendaria a amazon, enviara mas protegidos sus productos a sus clientes, he realizado 3 compras de esta misma marca y los 3 llegaron igual de maltratados.

Installed this in my RV being fed with 10ft 1 AWG wires (bought separately) . Handles 1200watt loads w/o any issue with minimal heat. Electronics all work fine as well. Good mounts for the lugs. No interference hum sounds from stereo as with previous inverters I had. Only feature I wished it has was a 12 volt on terminal to connect a relay for a mains disconnect but a transfer switch accomplishes the same thing at a slight expense. So far have Renogy inverter, charge controller, and solar panels. I think all their products are of decent quality.
