So once again, 20 years of using inverters in RVs and modified wave was never an issue. That include electronic controls on microwave ovens, AC, toaster, laptops, cellphones.
Did not use mentioned electric blankets, so maybe I luckied here.
Right now I have 2 inverters to choose in my latest project.
The pure sine inverter sounds good, but the cheap model I bought is rated for 6000 W peak, yet I measured internal wiring and included 2' supply cable to be #8 gauge.
So I am on the fence of using proven modified or newer gizmo with unknown reliability.
Yes, I think you have been lucky !
There have been multiple tests on YouTube showing that PSW actually perform better than MSW. Simple tests. Boil a cup of water in a microwave. PSW does it faster and consume less power from the battery bank. Check the case temperature of a residential refrigerator running on PSW vs MSW. Lower temp and less power consumption.
The unknow brands have NO reputation to up hold. If sales drop off, they just slap a different label on the outside.
Example 4000W Off-Grid PURE SINE WAVE Power Inverter? Let's Find Out! Spoiler - Conclusion was MAYBE 1000W continuous !
