I purchased that same inverter, and it has been working okay. It supplies it's rated 8.5 amps steadily, but I'm wondering about it's modified wave. I can take a house fan from 110VAC to the Black and Decker, and the fan will run noticeably slower on 'inverted' AC. The fan also 'hums' while running on the B&D. I once tried to run a portable air conditioner on it just to see what would happen, and it supplied Current up to 10.5 Amps continuously. Above that and it went into shutdown. One feature that has never worked is the display. Running my fan at 5 Amps, along with a 1 Amp light and radio, does not show any power usage on the meter. Clearly the unit is functioning, but the display isn't. Again, I wonder about the quality of the modified wave.
