I ended up buying a Zamp 300w psw to add to my inverter collection.
Could not get at Lowe's, but I got one for $62 including shipping from ebay, which I assume originated at a Lowe's sale.
It won't run my freezer, though, which killawatt meter tells me runs at 125w but has a 1250w startup!
I saw that one and thought of you..
Lowes Santa Clarita now has 6 left @$37.. I bought two :)
I ran a 100W Halogen lamp on it for two days and it didn't even get warm. I was just inside of the fan switch-up tho. I like the soft-start function.. makes starting a controlled short (lamp) a little easier.
(later that same night)
I just plugged a 250W heat lamp into the little 300W ZAMP. It overloaded the first 1/2 sec, then immediately restarted and ramped up the voltage. Its sitting there with ~240W draw @ 115.6VAC and the inverter is barely warm after a 10 min run.
