    With all of the electronic gadgetry as well as personal appliances( fridge, cooking, TV, etc...)
    What type of inverter do you use or suggest. Obviouly Pure sine wave is the "best" but they are generally cost prohibitive...
    What works best with the least cost. Thanks

    You're going to get a 10 differant answers.

    But COBRA has always been THE leader, IMHO.

    They've performed flawlessly over the years for me.

    I also have a Cobra 1000watt invertor and would not trade it for anything
    else.

    I also have a little cheap $25 300watt one that plugs into the cig lighter for
    when I don't need the big one.

    the cobra is a good solid unit. Has a different wave signal that although still not a pure sine wave, is easier on electronics then some invertors. I've used a few different invertors and the cobra is my favorite, also the only one I haven't burned up yet

    CPI 675 and CPI 1000, both working flawlessly for quite a while now. :)
