Anyone else get THIS EMAIL? Arrived in my inbox from Xantrex Marketing but was not addressed to me by name. I have had a Xantrex in the previous boat, and I have Magnum now. So a puzzle which one or both have my email.
Hello!

With Magnum discontinuing key inverter models like the MS2812 and MS4024, it’s time to upgrade to Xantrex Freedom SW and experience the next level of power solutions.

Why Xantrex?

  • Easy Transition: Swap the mounting bracket only—no complicated installation.
  • Superior Technology: Freedom SW provides pure sine wave power, delivering cleaner, more efficient energy for sensitive electronics.
  • Advanced Reliability: Built for harsh environments, Xantrex products last longer and perform better than ever.
  • Future-Proof: Integrate with lithium-ion batteries and solar for smarter energy management and sustainability.
Get started now! – Visit our Freedom SW page to see how Xantrex inverter solutions are perfect upgrades for Magnum, surpassing competitors.

Best regards,

The Xantrex Team

That's.
I wouldn't give a Xanax product to an enemy much less a friend. Their customer service is beyond frustrating and zero help. Plus their products suck

Steve's email is pretty good evidence. Xantrex got the email addresses from somewhere.

Xantrex + Magnum? Ship of fools. Reminds me of when K-Mart usurped Montgomery Wards.

Sensata Technologies is the owner of Magnum Dimensions. As a public company they would be required to publish the sale of a division. There is no such news. The other possibility is that Sensata was reducing the number of offerings but I see nothing in the financial news to suggest this. The other possibility is that there is a duplication between Sensata offerings and Magnum offerings and certain models are being replaced with the Sensata variant. Again, I haven’t found any such news.

At best Xantrex is doing some clever marketing that is miss leading or it’s a scam email.

The email said Magnum was discontinuing their inverter lineup - no sale involved. The link in the Xantrex email is legit - goes to a cross reference page showing what Xantrex model equates to Magnum model.

I believe it was Steve who had a similar crickets experience as I did with magnum tech support. Discontinuing their inverter line is a formality. In my experience, they did that a couple years ago. Only recently got around to finalizing.

Sounds credible to me but who knows.

I can only find evidence of the MS2812-G being discontinued. I did find evidence of Xantrex claiming Magnum is abandoning the MS28-12 line but it is not listed on Magnum’s discontinued product line. Only the MS2812-G is listed.

Now maybe Xantrex knows something that the rest of the world does not. I personally no longer trust either organization at this time. I will say I am perfectly happy with my Magnum 3000w Pure Sine Wave Hybrid. I however have abandoned all Xantrex products.

MS-2812-G was replaced with the MS2812-L.
 
Since to date I have not had a reply to an open ticket with Sensata I would take this as Xantrex knowing something and jumping into action. Though they did not list my Magnum 2012 as to be discontinued, they sure have not made parts for it in two years.
I posted what I think is legit as a buyer beware, get a great deal if you are buying a discontinued product.
