As seen at: DieHard 750W Mobile Power Inverter w/ Digital Display $25 + Free In-Store Pickup - Sears Deals, Coupons and Promos I will eventually get an AIMS inverter but this will do in the mean time.
Buy this if you have $25 to burn. You will want to upgrade and get the full capacity your car can deliver (from 12v)
OK, I'll bite............... IF your requirements never exceed 500W or so, why should you spend the extra money ??
Because you never know when you need to exceed that wattage and wished you would've just bought the bigger one to begin with. Like you suddenly discovered camping and want to bring a mini fridge and a TV with you but the 750w just isn't enough.
I would rather stay away from the 12v limit, this will meet my needs and at the That is called a hotel. Almost as funny as seeing someone running a window a/c in a tent. If this can run my fridge, that is the only thing that matters. I have a 3000/3500 generator on standby too. I will eventually get a AIMS inverter that runs off the hybrid battery but cannot justify it at the moment.
Not everyone has a generator on standby. But if you can take the noise of the generator, I guess you don't need more power than what the 750w will give you. I don't have a generator so I got the 1000w just in case I need to run my fridge and give myself some lighting during a power outage.
They cancelled my order due to no stock at the most local store. Guess I'll have to hold out for an AIMS.
I opted for a 400 watt pure sine wave as I have had burned out some sensitive electronics on the square wave. I have a 900 watt "modified sign wave" to use when I need to run my power equipment. 400 watts gives me the power I need for those things that I run that are sensitive and I now don't burn power supplies out at additional costs iPad ?
