Vevor 3500 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter – Great Value High Power
We have wanted to evaluate a high capacity 12V DC to 120V AC inverter that was well made yet affordable. We had the opportunity to review the Vevor 3500 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter Model GYS-3500W and found it to be a great value and offer solid power capabilities.
The inverter is well suited for RV travel, bus and van conversion, off-grid, and emergency power needs where up to 3500 watts may be required to power multiple devices such as laptops, fans, fridges, microwaves, computers, switching power supplies, coffeemakers, just to name a few of the typical appliances used day-to-day. The inverter 120V AC outputs provide a continuous stable pure sine wave by wave phase-detection, providing clean power and low interference for power sensitive devices such as TVs, computers, and routers.
Vevor 3500 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter
The Vevor 3500 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter converts 12V DC to 120V AC, and provides up to 3500W of continuous output power, and 7000W surge power. The inverter features 4 AC outlets, one USB port, and a hard wire 30A connection. The case uses an aluminum alloy and resists heat, cold, and helps dissipate heat when in use.
We found the unit to manage fan noise levels well. When the internal temperature reach113℉, the built-in silent cooling fan reduced operating temperatures. Even under heavy loads, fan noise was manageable.
The Vevor 3500 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter isn’t equipped with Bluetooth, advanced monitoring, or a multi-function remote panel that is often found in other 3500 watt inverters. The inverter has a low entry cost, but this does not prevent the inverter from meeting is primary function to provide clean power while meeting high wattage demands.

Testing Results
We tested the unit to ensure it could handle both high wattage use as well as moderate continued use as would typically be experience in day-to-day use. We found the inverter performed very well with a continuous 3500 watt load. The 120V AC demand remained stable and viewing the output using an oscilloscope, we found the waveform showed clean power without clipping and artifacts. We found the inverter’s ability to handle this much continuous power made it suitable to power high wattage appliances such as microwaves, small window air conditioners, coffer makers, and toaster ovens.
We also ran a 600 watts 120V AC load for several hours. This load is typical of our usual RV travel use with a residential refrigerator, TV, cellular WiFi router, laptops, and miscellaneous appliances. The results were similar to the high wattage tests with stable power.
Overall, the Vevor 3500 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter is a solid performer. While it may not have the monitoring features found with much higher priced inverters, remote wattage consumption and battery drain can be added with a low cost 12V DC shunt. Overall, this is a well performing, value priced inverter capable supporting both low and high wattage 120V AC needs.
Our thanks to Vevor providing the inverter for our review. We encourage you to watch the video below more information about the inverter, how it may be used, as well as the detailed tests we performed. As mentioned in the video, we have provided helpful links below the video where the inverter can be purchased along with other devices and a helpful appliance wattage chart you may find useful when determining the amount of power needed for your inverter installation.
