Curiously, I just bought a REMstar Auto with Heated Humidifier and, on page 8 of the HH manual, it says, "This humidifier is suitable for use with typical DC-to-AC inverters and UPSs (uninterruptable power supplies.) (300 watts minimum)"

Maybe Respironics changed something recently???

Looks like they've changed the booklet at least. I wonder what it was that made it unsuitable for inverters before now.
