Review talks about AC outlets. 120v 60Hz US output or something else?

I was waiting to see the Pure Sine Wave indication and didn't see it till the end...sad its modified sine wave but they had to cut corners somewhere.
I just built my own back-up power station, $134 for 1200w Pure Sine wave Inverter, $210 for 100Ah lifepo4 battery, $13 for solar charge controller, $10 for XT60 adapters, $15 for 8AWG wire, $18 for 2AWG battery cables and some other misc stuff but basically built the same thing minus the nice bluetooth interface and app for under $400.
Curious to see if it actually pulls 1000+wH since its only weighs 25lbs. Just for reference, my 100Ah battery alone weighs 24.2lbs and the 1200W power inverter is another 5.6lbs... definitely 30+

I like what you built. Maybe you can do us a report on your progress and results on your set up later down the road. I'm interested in building a unit myself.

I don't want to sound negative, but these devices don't even have a direct connection to computers, the review looks a bit promotional. What happened to the reviews for power supplies, apparently no one has been found to do reviews? No bad feelings.

For those who do not know the difference in between modified & pure sine wave: https://www.renogy.com/blog/-benefits-of-pure-sine-wave-vs-modified-sine-wave-inverters/

This one carries a modified sine wave - general with things like PSU's and such it's no issue. But there is application use out there that would be more distorted by the use of modified sine wave.

@Jism
the only time i had a quality psus (aPFC) die on me/customers within 1-2y (connected to UPS), was when using units with "fake" sinewave out.

since then i only use/install pure sinewave out, and even multiple outage per month have not had any impact on any psu,
most are now running for 2-5y under the same conditions...

Yep - the modified sine wave does bring problems to certain applications or even PSU's in PC's. Things that contain a motor will usually run "hotter" or require even more power then normally. They are OK for backup power but not for sustained or longer use.

Look forward

Any chance PSU reviews will come back?

Is there any chance that the PSU reviews will come back? The last one was March 20th when CRMaris was still around. With ATX 3.0 and the new PCIe 5.0 connectors becoming more important, it would really be helpful to get TPU's thorough testing on the latest crop of powersupplies.

"modified sine wave" - such a disingenuous term. What they really mean is - anything BUT a sine wave.

"motors might run hotter" - a term to downplay what is happening. It makes you think that if you have sufficient cooling it is not a problem. No! AC motors require for their efficiency and long life, a continuous electromagnetic field torque generation. Anything but a pure sine wave plays havoc with the field generation, it is not just less efficient, but puts wear on the motor, bearings and ancillary electronical components. Heat is a by-product of these damaging elements. Even more so when you scale to 3-phase motors.
