Quiet 12v Inverter with Low No-Load Current Draw

Hi - I am looking for recommendations for a 2000W-2500W inverter with as low a current draw when idle - i.e. powered ON but not delivering any AC power to a load.

I have a Giandel 2200W inverter that I just received today
that draws 1.5A-2A while in standby. Does this seem unusually high? Within the normal range?

May return it if there is a good alternative.
I'm looking in the $300 - $400 price range, but could be persuaded to spend a bit more for a low-draw device.

Also looking for one that is
quiet - no loud buzzing or loud fans, etc.

Any solid recommendations or advice?

Thanks,

Bob
 
I think the Victron Phoenix line of inverters has very low no-load idle power consumption when in 'eco-mode,' can't offer any input on the fan noise. I know some people replace the fans with Noctua brand PC vans which are designed for low noise, low vibration. Only problem is the Victron Phoenix line doesn't go up to 2000+ watts
