I would be interested in something over 1000W if I get around to adding a residential fridge and possibly a separate small freezer. I hear that compressor start-up wattage could exceed 600W - and if both machines start at the same time and I happen to run a small microwave at this exact moment (1400W input), I don't even know what could be the total wattage, 3000W?
First, refrigerators, freezers, A/C and microwaves do NOT do well on MSW inverters. They will run hot, and are less efficient.
Sizing an inverter and battery bank for "worst case" starting current is not logical. Unplug the 'fridge when you want to run the microwave and vice-versa.
