need some recommendations for a new power inverter for my truck. i currently have a 1250 watt AIMS power inverter and it's not handling my fridge and microwave so well. i'm going to be looking at 1500 watts or more but would like to know who makes a good one thats not too expensive.

it is wired to the battery. not a cigarette inverter

try shutting off the fridge b4 you run the microwave for 2 mins.
thats what smart truck drivers and rv'ers do.
i have done that...the start up current on the mini fridge still flips the breaker
the main problem is the inverter will intermittently shut off with no reason. the home depot one looks pretty good for the price. i might end up getting that one.
