120V Reefer off Inverter?

I think I've gone as far as I can go with my 12v refrig. My re-insulation of the old converted ice box didn't go well; it still comes on too often for my taste and is noisy, and creates lots of condensation in small, dark spaces.

There are 12v/120 small reefers available for under $200, Avanti to name one. I was set to buy one til I remembered that my hero Sailorchic runs her 120v off an inverter. For the same $200, I can buy a 120v unit and a decent inverter that I need for my ShopVac, chargers and the like.

These apt frigs consume about 1.5 amps which is way better than my AB unit. Curious about the loss to the inverter but assume I'll still be far ahead of the AB and have some good noise abatement as well.

Am I overlooking something?
