Hi Westend,
I call them throw away because Xantrex refuses to sell parts for repairs. You have to know a guru who can fix them such as our friend in Montana. I think they are a good bang for the buck--just get one large enough that it will never be overloaded and it will last a long long time.
Canadian Tire sells them rebranded from time to time at $199.00 for a 1000 watt. I have one sitting in my pass through storage to use as an emergency back up, should the 3k Magnum decide to let out the magic blue smoke.

Don,
Not so sure these Xantrex are as low as "throw away". I've been running the 1000W Xantrex Prowatt for a couple of years and it seems to do it's job well. It handles my little fridge's startup load great and I've never heard the fan. One feature I didn't appreciate that I now use are the USB charging ports. They're too convenient to not use, lol.
