Me, I'd give the Renogy RNG-INVT-2000-12V-P2 a try. Amazon sells it for $306 with a 30-day return. Even if it only has a 4000 watt *peak* surge/power rating (vs. 4000 watt for 5 sec), it still may work. For me, it would be worth the risk of a simple return to potentially save $400-$800.
That's a good suggestion - and low risk.
But I just looked at this Xantrex: https://www.donrowe.com/Xantrex-806-1220-PROwatt-SW-2000-p/806-1220.htm
More expensive, for sure but the specs say:
1800 watts continuous power output
2000 watts for 5 minutes
3000 watts surge (peak power)
Pure sine wave output (< 5% THD )
5 minutes @ 2000 watts? Am I reading that right - that's differerent from peak power, I assume? I'm thinking that would easily run my MW
zantrex used to be good.. for what its worth the renogy can handle 2000 watts continious but they are smart and still only recomend 1800 watts continious so you not flirting with that line, but that is aceptable if your only running the microwave. if you start running an microwave and coffee pot at the same time then you will have issues.
the renogy is also <3% THD
