I'm looking at the low cost pure sine-wave inverters on the market.
I've seen some online vendors selling ones from Samlex, Wagen, etc.
Has anyone used any of these or any comments on lower-cost pure sine
wave inverters?  Is there a fav. place to buy inverters around here?

     Low cost sine wave inverters?  Never heard of such a thing!  Where?


     In general, Samlex is good stuff, but I am not specifically acquainted with
their inverters.  I use several of their products on a public safety radio
system that I operate.

     www.cyberguys.com  has a few of the Wagan pure sine wave
inverters, 150 watt for $120, 300 watt for $157.    

Northern Arizon Wind & Sun
(http://store.solar-electric.com/sasiwain1.html )  has a 150 watt
Samlex for $120, 300 watt for $157, 600 watt for $244.  

Seems pretty cheap in my book, which is why I'm curious.  I know the
prices on sine-wave inverters are coming down, but I didn't know if
they really had come down THIS much or if these are just junk.

If there cheap then their cheap.
Lots of distorted sine wave, allot of noise on the sinewave, allot of RFI,
and Emi coming out.
