Be interesting to see how it performs for market reviewers.

This company has been around for a long time and we have their Autoformer, an expensive, heavy transformer that boosts low campground voltage to normal voltage so we can run roof air conditioners.  We keep it stored and seldom use it.  It has saved the day a few times, like our 2 months in New York City.
