Thinking of inverting…would 1000watt be enough to run a mircowave? what do others use?
Thanks
Was about to ask a similar question…will 150-300w be enough for general use not involving a cooler or microwave?
Thanks

dont buy one of those ebay 10 bob shiete from china,ya get what ya pay for in this life 
and bear in mind a 24v invertor takes around 42 amps at 1kw so do’nt be wiring it up with speaker wire 
I’ve been thinking about getting a 1-2K one how would I go about it ? I’ve read wiring straight to the batteries is best via anderson leads but what’s the difference between all the amps etc … Is it not as easy as buying one wiring to the battery and away you go
to do it right the wiring will cost you half of the price of a decent inverter again,probably a 60 amp fuse near the battery terminals,thick wire,anderson connector (a lot of artics have the connector there allready).they say to put the inverter as close as if feasable to the battery to reduce loss and a lot have remote controls to turn off.they recommend getting one which will shut off before the battery goes flat.there seems to be a load of small foreign crap on ebay,i think for your microwave use you would want around a 1200 at least (should be a bloody big heavy thing if it’s decent).
Why is a pure sine wave 1 better ? Or is it
pure sine wave is more like from a socket,i think the invertor subject is deffo one of these where you pay for crap you get crap,would you feel safe buying a kilowatt invertor off ebay running on crap wire and risking burning the truck to the ground on a night out or even worse tripping out when your cooking your curry

Some electrial gadgets are a bit sensative to modifiyed sine wave, had a lap top that did’nt like it.
However this is the exception, a good modifiyd sine wave is going to be ok with most stuff.
Just had a quick look on google pure sine wave 2000w £400+ is the about right or is that too cheap/expensive

If this one be worth getting remote switch, optional extra.
Not been shopping for inverter for ages so not going to say if price is good or bad.
Inverter looks ok though.
