[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3783403, member: 15054"] I have an older harbor freight 4000 watt peak 2000 continuous I bought around 2000 or 2001 It has never let me down and has ran window units and drills and chop saws and refrigerators. My son used it to power his fridge and tv and gaming system along with the central gas furnace blower when the last tornado knocked out power in Moore OK. Oh and his fish tank. He used it for 2 weeks. Had it hooked to 1 deep cycle 12v battery (Sun Solar brand) and then jumper cables ran to a Ford Festiva. It would shut off when battery dropped so far and he would need to start the car and charge batteries. 3/4 of a tank of fuel in that tiny car in 2 weeks. Pretty good. And only used one of the 120volt plugs They no longer sell that brand but i would not hesitate to look or buy another inverter from harbor freight. Read the reviews on them and decide. I used mine all the time and it would even run my 110 volt Lincoln 100 mig and I use gas on it. Actually welded better hooked to that than it did hooked to my buddies house and a 50 foot 12 gauge extension cord. His house is very old though and probably tiny old wire. [/QUOTE]
