Good 1000w inverter (12v or 24v) ??

[Dinobot248]

I was looking for a good 1000w inverter that runs on either 12v or 24v to build a DIY power station / solar generator. So far, I have found two safe and decent options that I can pickup easily and return if needed below. The Victron is on my wishlist. Any suggestions are welcome


Renogy 1000W Pure Sine Inverter ~$170
Bestek 1000W Pure Sine Inverter ~$170
Victron Phoenix 12 / 1200VA ~$353 (wishlist)



I have one 12v 100ah lifepo4 (AOLithium) battery, but I have my eye on the DJLBERMPW 12V 100Ah for $167. Reviews are limited and it may be too good to be true. Comments are welcome.


Use cases (usually <500w)
Camping / fishing (e.g. lights, phone charging)
Charging a car battery (for emergencies)
Edutainment (e.g. build my own DIY unit, collect solar energy while not at home)

I have the victron 12/1200. It’s a beast and in a different category compared to the other two you listed. I honestly wouldn’t even consider the other two brands. Keep in mind you’ll want the Bluetooth dongle which is another $50.
