Inverter, best "deal" i've found
Clicky $35 rounded up. 1500 continuous, 3k peak. 50 hz -/+ 3 so limited use in the US. At least it's cheap though.

Are you basing this assertion on experience or hearsay?
What I saw mostly was overheating of larger motors. Do it long enough and things melt.
As to the Op's choice of inverters: Inverters and power supplies are two things where quality pays back in longevity, IMO.
FWIW, I looked at the rectification section of my PD-808 converter (circa 1970), brought it online to check voltage and current, cleaned it up, and am still using it occasionally. PD offered an adder board to this converter, surpassing the typical single voltage/current design of that era. The adder board senses current and drops voltage from a mighty 13.8 DCV to 13.2 DCV as the battery(s) charge. I thought you may be interested in that as it shows that elegant electronic solutions need not always be a total new product. As we become accustomed to solid state IC's that can be flashed to a new program, we may see more "upgrades" of the same ilk.
