The AC sine wave of a true sine wave inverter is just as good as the utility company’s AC power. A modified sine wave inverter is not as close, but is still quite satisfactory in most cases. Certain motor control circuits don’t like the modified wave. Modified sine wave inverters are also much less expensive.
