Geoffrey, Kathleen and I have been testing the Staber System 2000 for Home
Power. Unless something comes along to change my mind, we'll be giving it
the thumbs-up in HP#47. Electrically speaking, it uses a bit less power to
run a cycle than other machines, but the real savings is in thge energy
used to heat water. I uses a little less than 1/2 the water of a top
loader, but only a little less than a front loader. It is really well made
and yes Troy, we've run it on a number of mod-sine inverters with no
problems.

Geoffrey,

I haven't used a Staber myself but we've sold some - at least one 
person using a modified sine wave inverter.  I think they'll even 
work on an 800 watt model.

It's too soon for much feedback yet but stay in touch - I'll let you
know what we find out.
