Just to chime in on a quality inverter--not!

I bought a coleman 300W at Harbor Freight, thinking it would be
better than one of their Chicago Electric brands or whatever. It did
its job great for several years, while it lasted. A few months back I
was sitting outside the westy while it was charging the iPod. I was
in a nylon seat camp chair. I slide forward to see if it was actually
plugged in, and the slide out of the seat and then touching the
inverter caused a small spark... and that was it. The inverter had
generated its last modified sine wave.

Pretty bad when your inverter can't take a spark to the case!
