Current Amazon price is $326.00. I heard about them on the Airstream forum.
I tested mine with a moderate load and it was producing 118VAC with a beautiful sine wave on the O-scope. "Modified sine-wave" inverters have nothing to do with sine-waves...they put out square waves with tons of harmonics. Just my opinion. Results may vary.
These turned out to be a great deal. They are still on sale through January 17th (I think).

Got the 1000W for about 40% of what I would normally pay on Amazon for this same (or very similar) unit.

Yes it was a great deal.. glad to hear you got in on it. I hope yours works well for you. I also got a 1000W for $131.00 for an upgrade I'll be doing in the Spring. The guys on the Airstream forum couldn't really figure out what Lowes was up to. The web sale went on for quite a while and it didn't appear to be a closeout. The 2000W was a huge savings. Pure-sine is the only way to go. Modified is just a horrible looking stepped-square wave that I wouldn't feed to any of my gear.
