The result is quieter operation and better fuel economy. As has been noted, these are more expensive machines.

This. Really the only reason one needs to buy an inverter generator. They are generally quieter and more efficient but as ishoot posted, there is no issue with electronics on normal gens. I have used a few different ones for 20 years and have never had any problems. I am the tv nut that has way too many tv's and computers. Never had a failure.
