Clarke Power CI1200B

Overall Auto Express rating

3.0

Best price: £68.39 | Continuous output: 600W

This big Clarke inverter topped the power assessment and accommodated our test tools and devices with ease. With its mounting brackets and need for an earth, this is ideal for permanent fitting in a workshop or camper van.

As the big power output suggests, it connects direct to the battery, and we liked the fully insulated clips. But at this money a USB socket would be welcome.
