Anyone know if there are some of these cheaper inverters 2-3K watts that are pretty good? Its been long enough now that maybe
some of the imports are getting better in quality...no? Ebay has the Renogy, Samlux, and many others..A few years ago I wouldnt have even considered these types but ...eventually they are going to get better as components get cheaper..sine wave only

    If you don't need an AC/DC charger, the Cotek might be a decent choice.  An Outback would have a charger and transfer switch, which may or may not be important.
