I have bought a lot of stuff from harbor freight...but I did so knowing that it generally light duty usage and not the best for functional specs and I have worn the stuff out or had it go bad. A lot of this stuff is offshore knockoffs, so one really has to understand this going in. An inverter for use in the monte should be pure sine wave design and the level of usage should be part of the decision. If you want this inverter to be around for several years, then buy quality. Opinion from an electrical eng type. John
