After installing a solar panel on Monte and four 6v golf cart batteries, I needed an inverter to drive the satellite TV system without running the generator. I foolishly opted for an 800w inverter from Pep Boys for about $75. It worked for a while but it was very noisy, and after about a 18 months, it started sparking and smoking. Not good.
I found a replacement this January in Quartzsite, it was 750w, it worked, but it wasn't anything near a pure sine wave, and it induced an excruciating hum in the audio system.
To alleviate the headaches, I purchased a 1000w RENOGY® pure sine wave inverter from Amazon for less than $275 delivered to my front door.
What a difference! This, unlike the previous two inverters, is phenomenal. The cooling fan has yet to come on so it's totally quiet. And it does have a remote on/off. Much better.
