Make sure you buy the right inverter!

The following devices will normally not work with modified sine wave (MSW) inverters:

•    Laser printers, photocopiers, magneto-optical hard drives
•    Some laptop computers
•    Some fluorescent lights with electronic ballasts
•    Power tools employing "solid state" power or variable speed control
•    Some battery chargers for cordless tools
•    Digital clocks with radios
•    Fridges and freezers.

To run them, you will generally need a Pure Sine Wave inverter that delivers household quality power.

Which do you need - Modified Sine Wave or Pure Sine Wave???

Inverter sine wave quality affects the ability of the inverter to run particular electrical appliances.

Appliances that have an electronic circuit (i.e. it has a digital readout somewhere on it) require a true sine wave inverter to run as the modified sine wave inverter provides only intermittent cycles or waves of power when such appliances need continuous power to maintain their digital functions.

Many electronic appliances produced today use sophisticated technology that requires a true sine wave inverter to start or run. Examples are computers, laser printers, some charging devices for mobile phones or power tools, and modern washing machines.

Though many laptops run directly from their own battery, even when connected to mains power, and should be able to run OK on a modified power inverter, it is probably safer as a laptop LDC inverter to use the true sine wave type.

So, in general, your microwave, stereo, small fridge, lights, DVD player – will all run just fine on modified sine wave. However, in the case of a microwave inverter, you’d need the pure sine inverter to keep its digital readout (e.g. clock) working properly.
