The inverter is solid and a good deal if you can tolerate the fan noise and the need for a brute 250A (or so) fuse and a minimum 6GA wire. Fan noise is louder than my desktop computer and only slightly quieter than my mom's hair drier. I had a problem sourcing the wires and fuse. Tripplite could have made my life easier by providing me with the needed items from the start. All told the setup cost me around $110, more than I wanted to spend for 700 Watts.
No Cables!! June 17, 2009

It comes without cables, luckily I had the ones from my old inverter (a Vector that died), but I would have been annoyed otherwise. They ask you to put a fuse in the line which is a good idea, but it's hard to find fuse holders of that size easily.
The cables are attached with Allen screws rather than ring and post connectors, so that is a downside as well. You really don't want to leave them attached lest they bump into something and break the connector and you have to have a wrench to attach them which is a bit of a bother if you lose the it.
And as others pointed out, it is noisy, but that's kind of the nature of these things. My Vectors were quieter, but both of them died after almost no use, so there you have that.
