I would recommend buying a true sinewave inverter - the ProSine is what is called a "Modified Sine Wave" which should really be called a "Modified Square Wave" instead. The issue is that there are a significant number of devices which won't work on a MSW inverter - like portable tool chargers, dimmer switches, some LED lights etc. The true sine wave inverters are not that much more expensive - a buddy just picked up a Taiwanese one which is 3000 watts (12V) and cost him $300 to allow running an induction cooktop stove in his conversion sprinter van. Worked very well on the TSW - didn't work at all on his older MSW inverter (Heart Interface).
