The pure sine inverter, which is also referred to as a “true” sine wave, utilizes sine wave in order to provide your appliances with power. A sine wave, which is produced by rotating AC machinery, is the type of wave that is generally provided by the utility company with the help of a generator.

The benefits of using a pure sine wave inverter include:

• All equipment currently on the market is designed for use with sine waves.
• Some appliances, particularly microwaves and variable speed motors, will not produce full output if they do not use sine wave power.
• Some appliances, such as light dimmers and bread makers, will not work at all without sine wave power.

On the downside, pure sine wave inverters are more expensive than the other two types of inverters. By looking out for discount inverters that are on sale, however, you can keep your costs down.
