Anyone know the difference between this unit and the other 20W 12V Aleko unit listed for $57?

Sorry I do not know the difference, but do know Aleko has worked very well and have had no problems, except for prolonged cloudy days.

The one I received is dated 2013/05. I was disappointed in the voltage. It is only 10.8 v= 47Wh. Low, insufficient voltage. The picture stated something different.

Yes sir/ma'am, supposedly thats what your paying for with a generator like this one. I rmr doing this same research before I purchased this unit. It has the better rotor that generates the electricity, (If i rmr correctly, when I say better, i mean that it has a brushless generator. That means cleaner/smoother electricity from my findings). I used my 61" LED TV, MacBook Pro, & other expensive gadgets during a 5 day power outtage. NO issues & unit performed flawlessly. To be safe, I'd do what 'Khend' recommends regarding the surge protector below.

I have both. To my mind, they are equal. Same mode of operation, same features, very similar construction. Just avoid the Commercial Electric brand testers from Home Depot. I had one that I had to return because it was intermittent...I couldn't trust it.

It's strange they post the 110vAC version diagram with this 12v unit. The wiring diagram that is on the unit says 12v and the power and heating/cooling is not all interconnected. Inkbird should post a pic of the decal on the unit - it has the proper schematic.

This one uses 120 VAC and draws 8 amps. Watts = Volts x Amps so 120 volts x 8 Amps = 960 Watts. I didn't like this unit, it's very loud and you are limited by the cord. I like the one that runs on propane MUCH better.

Doubt that there is much differance... I got the 20v because I already had 20v B&D; batteries.... believe me you'll need the extra batteries..... great tool for light clearing and storm clean up and I knew that when I got it. I love the saw but only get 20 minutes of use with the battery fully charged. The differance with weight etc... would be minor.

I think the difference is in the way the batteries get charged by a step process where the voltage ramps up then ramps down . I have the Pm3 and it works great . Prior to this i had a Progressive Dynamics converter which is much more expensive . Dont waste your money on any other unit . The PM3 is a good solid converter with a good warranty.

finally i started to use the kbh 2571 and is a bluff, i don't think it has more than 2oo watts, nothing indicates the power in boX or in the appliance, really a bluff, not power!!!! don't buy it

I've purchased two of these units. The first one came with pigtail wires, the second one did not. I realize that this leaves you no better off than before I responded. In both cases I used 12vdc adapters from obsolete devices that already had the required leads. A new 12vdc adapter is only three or four dollars.

The box says 400W or greater, with 12V 20 Amps. Mine is 430W with 12V 17 Amps. It seems to work fine, but if you have the choice, go with one that have at least 20 Amps on the 12V.

No, you need the one that says 12V 12AH UB12120 not the one that says 12V 7AH that is the difference, and you can get it cheaper on Amazon verses Batteries Plus

Hello, I'm not sure what the "older" model was, ours was a 10" 12v that we loved. The newer model has Smart Power technology. It chooses which power option is most efficient. It will run on AC, DC, has it's own rechargeable batteries and you can also use and addition D-cell batteries. That is something that is now made too clear when you are shopping for them. It has internal batteries and you can add D batterries, so you have the option of 4 power sources. The fan motor is also improved to run on less power...giving you longer run time. It has a USB port also. It is a good fan. I'd shop around, I paid more for ours, but I see you can get them under $45 now.

I'm not sure, check the reviews on the 10w and 50w models. Seems someone was using a motion sensor. Should apply to the 20w also. Maybe they can clear it up.

They sent me the L14-30 plug. I saw the "20" confusion too but this is definitely the L14-30. I paid $18 for this last summer. now it is $4?????? Wow, what a deal!

I had written to the company about this, they said 40W/hour.EDIT: I had written about three other models, not this one. The company is response to requests for information though, I suggest contacting them.

You'll pay another $120. Just consider the shipping as part of the $/watt. Still a decent deal. I'm pretty sure they set it up this way so they can advertise a lower $/watt.
