1000 to 2000watt pure sine inverter reviews

[sparrowhawk1]

I know the really expensive ones work pretty well. But are there any in the 300 dollar price range that people have had good luck with? Thanks in advance.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you need a pure sine wave?

[sparrowhawk1]

From my understanding many appliances life will be shortened by running on modified sine wave. I also have an induction hot plate I want to use when I have excessive electricity from my large solar panel system. Also a pure sine wave inverter is supposed to be up to twice as efficient with some applications. If you don't mind being talked to like you're a moron there's a funny video on YouTube put out by - gone with the wynnes " how to select the best inverter for RVs" P.s I'm especially concerned about my new lithium ion batteries and battery charger( for my Ryobi tools) . And one more thing, I don't know if they do it in the bigger inverters but I just fully understood that a lot of modified sine wave inverters put half of the sine wave on the neutral wire to save money making both the neutral and the hot wire hot. Which is bad if you want to hook it up to your house wiring( I've known for a long time that some inverters are not safe to hook up to your house but now I understand why)

I ask as I have run both, and while I do not run large inductive AC loads, I can't tell the difference. I've only run TV's, DVD players, charged Li-ion batteries for my Milwaukee drill, fans etc.

My intention is to go with the invertor / battery charger combination, when I can afford one anyway. It's my understanding that they can function in a similar manner to a capacitor and absorb big start up loads like from an airconditioner when external AC power is available and of course supply AC power when it's not

I have been running everything off of modified sine for years but I now I have the lithium for my Ryobis and I also have a $250 vacuum sealer I use almost everyday I heard its not good for them. they work but... my 1000 watt modified sine died so I think I'm going to replace it with a pure sine 1500. I haven't shopped around a lot for the combos, but it seems to me inverters that are also chargers cost twice as much. If that's the case I would rather have a separate charger just to have more redundancy

In researching inverters some of the things I really like are heat sinks tightly bolted to items giving off heat. And I like big fans and I cannot lie. Oh crap

I just installed a Kisae 2000. It cost about $500. It is a true wave inverter. It's only been about 2 months now, but so far, it is working quite well. They sell them through West Marine.

Okay the inverter that's caught my eye is made by accurate tools. There's a bunch of 2500 watt ones for auction. anyone with experience with these?

Yes I did thank you. And one other on Prepper forum.net. But not really much information on the quality of the product

I'm interested in the same subject, I need two 2000 watt inverters. One for the boat, and one for the Airstream.

These are great inverters, you will find that it really sucks the power down, but they get the job done. I have had one operating for 2+ years and have not seen any appliances damaged.
