I purchased the 2kw version in late September, 2017. As of the time of this writing (late April 2018), this inverter is performing beautifully. Most of the time it powers my routers, wifi nodes, TV's, bluray players, lights, refrigerator, deep freezer, etc. It handles both of my 1000 and 700 watt microwaves no problem. It even handled my washing machine (only device that causes it to surge when the spin cycle comes on). It runs a 560 watt (5k btu) air conditioner unit easily, and even a 12k btu air conditioner. Obviously, I don't run all these large devices (microwaves, washing machine and large AC), but it can handle my full-sized fridge, lighting, routers/wifi, TVs, small deep freezer, small beer fridge, and small AC at the same time.
During the winter I pushed it to the maximum 2kw on many occasions for a few hours at a time using 120v baseboard heaters. So it has suffered its fair share of usage these 7 months. Still going strong, no sign of problems as of yet.
If it continues to be rock solid throughout May and June, then I will pick up a 4kw version and give it a try. I will update my review if anything changes or if I continue to get good results.
[Usage: 3600 watt solar off-grid application, 24v LFE battery bank, wired direct to dedicated off-grid circuits, not using the built-in charger on this unit]
***UPDATE November 2018***
This inverter is still going strong. During the winter months of 2017-18 (and as I'll be doing again this winter of 18-19), I powered off the unit during the night to save battery charge. With the very long summer days, I left the inverter on 24/7 from early May til mid September and it ran without issue. At times during the summer days, this one inverter would run 3 small (500 watt) air conditioners and all my internet wifi, routers, and many lights. During nice weather in the spring and fall, this unit practically took my entire house off grid.
I have seen the surge kick in when running my washing machine on this inverter. Beeped once as the kicked on the agitator or spin cycle, but that didn't phase the inverter. Did what the surge feature was supposed to do.
I have run various high load appliances (albeit not all at once lol) including a sump pump, deep freeze, two refrigerators, 500w sound system, coffee pot, small & medium sized microwaves... the only thing I have not tried to run on this inverter is the clothes dryer and furnace blower motor because they're either 240v or hard-wired to the house circuit.
Will likely upgrade to the 4000 watt model soon since the 2000 watt has proven its more than capable. So for a 14-month review, still highly recommending.
Will update again in a year or two or when this 2000 watt model gives up its ghost.
************UPDATE NOVEMBER 2019*************
Guess who is still going strong after two years? Yep. This one.
I did end up getting the 4kw version a year ago and it too is doing absolutely fine. But for this 2kw version that has made it 26 months and still no sign of flinching, either I got lucky or AIMS makes a good product - I'm betting a good product seeing what I've thrown at it and it has no problem.
For someone who works in IT, I know eventually this thing will give up it's ghost - it's not a matter of if but when. But for now, it's doing just as well now as it did 26 months ago.
As I promised above, I will keep giving updates - either "hey can you believe it's still going?" or "welp it finally gave up the ghost..."
******Update January 2020*****
So I'm just now starting to see signs that this inverter is showing it's age and usage (MAYBE). Every now and then, when using certain ceramic heaters, cheap LED lights in the room dim for a split second. I am hoping that this is not a sign of imminent failure, rather that certain ceramic heaters is the cause of this. Otherwise, this inverter is still doing a great job with everything else connected to it (microwave, Philips Hue lights, Wifi router, etc.).
I will update again as the needs see fit or failure. :)

I would recommend this inverter to anyone
Works awesome. It was more money than I wanted to spend but has been in place for over a year of constant use in our off grid house. No issues totally worth it. It was a easy install.
