[RE-wrenches] Off grid

[Solar]

I like the magnum for small loads. It may be to big (1000W) for your needs though. 

I have a 300W samlex and a 1500W samlex for my training program and both seem to work well for small loads. We use the 300W for charging drill batteries while working on our habitat for humanity house each year and the 1500W is on a little cart we use when we go to high schools for recruitment. We use the later to run a tv and an X-box while at the highschool.

Any personal experiences with inverters smaller than the basic outback, Xantrex, trace, transformer type inverters?  I'm hoping to be able to run it with a 1500-2000 watt Samlex.  Clue me in please.
