Any experience? On another thread someone (Juke or Nuclear , one of the lemon twins) mentioned that for a 600W microwave your inverter should be at least 1600 watt continuous duty. Harbor Freight sells this one: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=92464
My guess is whoever the supplier is for these that Harbor Freight rebrands basically copies an existing design. Most electrical stuff is made in China now, so I don't see that as a big quality negative inherantly.
Goal is to buy an inverter than can serve all expedition needs, road trips, power tools, 600W microwave, charging camcorder, cell phones, etc. Would also be nice in case of a power outtage to run our home freezer off the 80 rather that lose several $100's in food.
When I do it, I will do it right, dual batteries, run this off a deep cycle, welding lead to inverter, etc. Also plan to add an Engel fridge.
