Inverter - Power Bright 1100 Watt 12 volt DC to 120 VAC inverter

On Jan 10th 2011, I purchased a Power Bright model PW1100-12, 1100 watt inverter from Costco.com for $69.including shipping.  The inverter has a built in DC voltmeter which can be switched to a watt meter to monitor the load.  The product works well, however it comes with about 30 inches of 8 gauge wire terminated with battery clamps on one end and eye terminal on the other end resulting in very hot wire if used at full load.  I changed to 30 inches of number 4 wire and eye terminals on both ends for a very cool connection.  The only other issue is that the watt meter tends to register about 40 watts in a no load situation after it has been used for a while under heavy loads.  I consider this to be a minor issue.  Overall I believe this product to be a very good value.
