300W Inverter: Giandel or Bestek?

[Inq720]

I'm looking at pure sine-wave inverters in the 300 watt range. These two seem to top out the Amazon selection and both have MANY good reviews. Far more than can be explained by "cheat" reviews. Thanks for the reference.

Giandel 300 watt

or

Bestek 300 watt

I put one of the Giandels into my jump starter retrofit and it's been rock solid through quite a bit of use. I highly recommend it.

I cannot see how you can pull more than 300W (to get 300W outout from inveter (the input power will be more than 300W due to conversion loss) of power from cigarette lighter outlet since it is fused with 15A on most car, it will be about 13.8V x 15A = 201W you can pull from cigarette lighter outlet.

Thanks

I've heard very good things about the Giandels on another forum I haunt, but they are only 1KW or larger versions. I wanted to hear about someone with actual experience with this 300W version.

I have a 600W Samlex which has been quite good, and has a low idle current draw. I know that it is a bit larger than you want.

Tear down. I cannot find video that shows load test.

You may want to look into AIMS 300W too: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007911Y8/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d
