Hello All,
Generally, when you evaluate a product, it's nice if a website is attached to that product with information available about that product, where it is manufactured, manual(s) to download, and contact information should you have further questions.
I want to evaluate the Trace AC/DC Inverter, which appears to be of good quality (pure sine wave, for example). And their are stores throughout the D.R. that specialize in Trace inverters. However, when I try to find the website for Trace I come up with nothing. Nothing with the word "trace" in it, such as trace.com A Google search informs me that Trace was purchased! by the Canadian company Xantrex. Xantrex does have a website but when I go there they do not sell any inverters with the name "Trace." Further, I find that Xantrex is owned by Schneider Electronics.
Nor can I find any manual with the word "Trace" in it. All of the above lead me to believe that this brand is not to be trusted. I don't know the website; I don't know who manufactures it; I don't have contact information should I have questions, etc.
What's your view? Find a different brand that doesn't have all these "gotchas" attached? Or can you clarify the status of this company?
Thanks!
