My rubbish is working just fine. 1000W Chinesium. Along with an Aux battery, roof mounted folding solar panel than can be readily dismounted and used on the ground, 1/0 cable to a rear power box with all manner of power ports and USB and Anderson connections for a couple different hobbies. Power laptops, various other 110VAC chargers. And a blender. Slushly Margaritas are a big hit in SoCal summer heat.
I've also used it for powered hand tools in many situations and in fact just used it this morning to chop up a 20' piece of 1/2" rebar with a Chinesium angle grinder so I could get it home inside my Sub.
I was ground zero for the '94 Northridge quake, just a block west and south of the apt buildings where most of the deaths occurred. Wrecked my house and I had nothing in the way of equipment or supplies on-hand. It was a very difficult couple of days until I could GTFO of there. I've been a 'prepper' ever since.
I like having lots of flexibility / power options, rather than looking for faults or justifications to NOT have them.
Then there was the time I drove to Vandenberg to witness the first west coast SpaceX rocket return to Land, had lots of camera stuff plugged into the inverter, battery rechargers etc. My pictures and video turned out poorly, but I had plenty of AC power!
