Currently the old Xantrex portawattz 600 I have manual says it will power TV's power tools up to 5A and a host of other other devices , the conversions losses make it a poor choice for Solar not so bad for intermittent automotive use not so good for 24-7 use.
12v will not work in my case I need a 48v inverter
I found the 93% versions to be too pricey so far but did find a cheap 1000w 90% version for $166 ca. same brand 1500w / 2000w versions for $217 & $254 via Amazon.ca
