I prefer a 1500W modified sine ($99). In contrast, I have a $250 PURE sine 1000W in the back of another car, and found it cannot run either my chain saw or my electric lawnmower. But the original 1500W modified sine does it just fine. I even used it to run a 5000 BTU window AC. Once the lawnmower or chain saw or AC is up to speed the continuous run current is down around 700W. Bob

I ran to an autozone, bought a 1000W peak 600w continuous or so 12v inverter and hooked it up to my 2011 Fusion Hybrid and was able to run the furnace (gas igniter and blower) to keep us warm during a 4 hr power outage. Remember hearing the engine kicking On only a few times to recharge the HV battery.
