And as I mentioned in an earlier post, the ratings on inverters
recently has little or nothing to do with what they actually produce.
True output is more like a third of rated output

Greg, I disagree, when it comes to the brand Xantrex from Costco.

The 1000w unit I bought has outperformed my expectations.
It runs my 9 amp sawsall witout a problem.

I trust the 1750w unit would perform to the specs listed on the Costco
website.

They are manufactured in Canada and have great quality.
