Warning!! Another AIM'S Inverter bites the dust ....

Yep, I have 2 Aims Inverters , one modified, 3000 watts and a pure 2000 watt Aim's..... I wish I had never bought Aims now, my 2 units were bought for emergency back up 2 years ago , they have very little use, and i babied them... I built a small battery bank and I have bought several panels for my little project, and with storm season knocking I have been getting things in order, working the battery bank, finishing the mounts for the panels.. and well last week I went to turn on the Aims pure sine wave to let it run and plug a few light loads to exercise it, and when i turned it' on it was making a high pitched squeal =almost like a bearing noise, so i turned it off, let it sit for a few moments and turned it back on and as it powered up I could hear the squeal start back up and then a loud pop' it=POS blew the 250 amp in line fuse , game over ....... and nothing was plugged into it yet.... since i bought these clunkers I have heard n read nothing but bad about them and now here i sit with one turd blown and sure wouldn't want my life dependent on the other one Ugh''



being on a tight budget n storm's can pop up with in hours I picked up a UL Listed Dimensions 1800 watt pure sine inverter, I hooked it up yesterday and load tested it running a garage fan and using a 1200 watt heat gun, and it's silent, so weird to me since the winy Aims units... this tank is silent.....anyone else use a Dimensions Inverter ?? there use on emergency units, like Ambulance n fire vehicles, also boom n bucket trucks ....


this is the one I have now, any one else have any experience with them, thanks ....
