    Default Inverter

    I'm looking for a inverter to run a small fridge and an aquarium type heater. Anybody have any recommendations? Every inverter I look at on Amazon has one review saying it's the greatest and the next review says it burnt up after 2 days.

    If NOCO makes one, I would start there.

    its quite possible, ne probable, that online reviews are not worth relying on.

    NOCO does seem to make good products. We have them and they work.
    four stars!

    If it were me, I'd add up the wattage of the 'fridge and heater then look for an inverter with a continuous rating of about twice that since pushing an inventor to its continuous rating can still generate a lot of heat and noise.

    NOCO doesn't make inverters as far as I can tell.

    While good advice, it doesn't get me any closer to finding a brand.

    its reading comprehension week at scducks. we get to choose what to answer, even if it wasnt your question.

    this helps.

    Ah.

    The scducks gold standard of answering the question "Where can I find a good steak?" with "You really want chicken/steak sucks/does it come with a trailer?"

    Sustained. And I’d advise 2th to defer to the pics of RH’s boat wiring and give him a wide berth in all things electrical.
