   I've decided to purchase the packaged Ampinvt 800 watt inverter-charger.   
      
   --------------------   
      
   I read your Amazon review of it. Luckysolar claims its idle power is 6-8W   
   which is quite good for a true-sine inverter. What do you see?   
      
   The front panel image on Amazon shows an MPPT solar charging function,   
   apparently a feature of the new model, though the text doesn't mention it.   
   Does yours have it?   
      
   In general it appears to be an integrated package of the features I've   
   assembled separately, with the voltage and current meters I like to monitor   
   performance and diagnose problems, but apparently without battery SOC. I   
   assume the generator mode permits greater voltage and frequency deviations   
   before declaring an AC line fault and switching to battery. My APC1400 has   
   an adjustment for that but it doesn't extend to accepting a poorly regulated   
   generator. It's fine with an inverter generator. Electric starting is   
   typically on generators considerably larger than 800W.   
      
   Good luck with it. I hope the warnings of nationwide rolling blackouts don't   
   come true, but if they do your food won't spoil.
