- In a July 2025 r/vandwellers thread one owner calls a Renogy 2000 W inverter fantastic, another reports a 2000 W inverter without issues after more than 4 years, and a third is in year three with a 3000 W inverter-charger working mostly flawlessly.
- In the same thread a full-timer's 3 kW inverter output terminal snapped while being wired, and an owner with a full Renogy system since 2019 says the inverter-charger trips a 20 A shore circuit and a support ticket sat open over 30 days.
- An r/solar post titled 'Avoid Renogy' reports a PUH 2000 W inverter dead on first use from bad soldering on the switch board (August 2025), and a 2020 r/vandwellers thread reported inverter-chargers whose automatic neutral-to-ground bonding circuit did not work.
