Of all the inverters we have tested, the Whistler inverters have the best "surge" or "peak". Thanks to their "Smart Surge Control", the Whistler inverters attempt to start loads above the continuous rating for up to 10 seconds. That can come in handy when try to start those pesky old motors or compressors.
