Your inverter’s continuous rating needs to cover everything running at once; its surge rating needs to cover the largest single startup spike on...

Modified sine inverters are cheaper but run some electronics hot, cause audible buzz in certain devices, and can outright damage sensitive equipment like CPAP machines or variable-speed motors. Pure sine is the standa...
