[T2] [VB] cooler/fridge ....

[David Schwarze]

That really worked?  What are the details on the inverter?  It seems to 
be generally accepted that the cheap "modified sine-wave" inverters do 
not do very well powering refrigerators and other devices that are (at 
least I always thought they were) sensitive to the shape of the a/c 
waveform.  OTOH I have seen a few "true sine wave" inverters with 
reasonable prices lately, did you by chance get one of those?

Thanks,
