[pvusers] The $29 Vector inverter from Wal Mart doesn't handle surges at all....



I switched brands just because of the crummy customer service I have experienced from Trace. I also have a few of the smaller 150-600 watt inverters, I use them infrequently but they perform well. I hate that the fan runs all the time on the Porta watz.
 
When I bought that inexpensive 400 watt, $29, Vector inverter
from Wal-Mart,  the first thing  I noticed was that the fan ran
all the time....  and.... the  inverter  would  shut down,  if there
was even  a slight surge...it is a cheap inverter... but....it doesn't
handle surges well, at all...
 
I would not recommend it...
