I have a lawnmower that is 1400 watts, I have 2000 watt and 3000 watt "modified sine wave" inverters, and neither of them run it... will this ???

Check to see what the peak start up surg of your mower is. Sounds like it may be pretty high if your normal running watts are 1400. It should run as long as you don't exceed the surg capabilities of inverter. Also be sure you have the heavy enough cables on inverter side to carry the amps needed to support that type of load.

It should I have ran a 1500 watt heater to test mine. I can not say for sure since I do not have a electric mower, but it has ran stuff my modified sine waves would not start.

The inverter doesn't draw much power. Just depends on what you have plugged into it. I ran a sump pump with it so it's designed to handle a lot

I notice wildly different ratings on this and other inverters. I need to power a stereo receiver - about 1200 W, with 2 Bose outdoor speakers set pretty loud. Any thoughts on how I should evaluate suitability? Can I be sure my T & C minivan can power this setup? Thanks for any info. - THT

ive owned this inverter and it is 1000 watts in one plug dude must have been on crack that day of the video. Only down side to it this inverter will not handle very much surge it will go up to about 1200 surge and beep the hole time but 1000 output it will do and hold it.

I use it with a 1600 watt inverter and it works great. Just that if you don't drive it very often, I would disconnect it.

we bought that kit the inverterwas too small for what we needed to do we bought the 6000 it does a great job we are running for 100 watt solar panel 6 /6 volt batterywe run it from 12 o'clock in the afternoon 2 ,1 o'clock in the morning then we lost power we are living in a 40 foot trailer we plan on adding a 900 wind generator and 6 more batteries that should do the trick but the 1500 watt inverter just wasn't enough hope this was help

We haven't run it with such an inverter, but we did look at the circuitry inside when evaluating it, and it shouldn't need a pure sine-wave. In fact, it only pulls power at the peaks of the sine wave (it has around a 0.7 power factor), and will actually run with an appropriate high-voltage DC input instead of AC. So it shouldn't care if your inverter is "modified-sine-wave". Your inverter, however, may care that the supply only pulls power during part of the cycle, and you may therefore need an inverter with a higher peak output power/current than you were expecting.

Maybe, if your printer doesn't need a sine wave inverter. I'd find out before you try it. Search back issues/ask the folks at "Home Power" magazine if you don't find an answer. Their editors are very helpful with questions like this.

That option works on my 2000 watt inverter but I do not use it. So many new appliances will not work unless they have power available all the time to run the internal controllers. I noticed however that if I turned on a load that it would not start right away you had to wait until the inverter decided it was time to start. Because of my experience on the 2000 watt inverter it was never tried on the 3000 watt inverter.

I am charging two batteries(lawn mower size) from the panel through the regulator I am adding a transformer to smooth the circuit,,, it ends at a 1000watt inverter, everything seems good, the panel generates electricity even on cloudy days... MPP

I've never tried that amount of load at any one time but I can't imagine it will tolerate it for much time. 180 secs maybe ok but if it was me I would buy a more powerful inverter. Always good to check with the manufacturer though just to get their input. Good luck

Excellent description.The one thing I'd add is to ensure the 12v. to 120 v. inverter provides a *PURE SINE WAVE* output which is identical (or often cleaner) than a normal utility power grid. Using a 120 volt "Modified Sine Wave" power source can damage and/or weaken electronics, motors, battery chargers, batteries, etc. Or if nothing else, cause them to be less efficient & effective. "Modified Sine Wave" outputs are fine for incandescent light bulbs, but I wouldn't risk damaging my electronics or battery chargers just by saving a few bucks on a lower-end inverter.That said, I'd personally spend a bit extra for a Pure Sine Wave inverter to run electronics, chargers, and/or laptops off of.

I have run household appliances as well as different types of shop tools. Small compressors as well, dewalts and porter cable. I don't see why it would not run a craftsmen..Did you have a problem in attempting this? Because the inverter is a modified sine wave, the only items I not run would be rechargeable items, cells, laptops, Makita, dewalt cordless type tools. I am a journeyman electrician and have installed this type of inverter, for those who are on a budget not requiring a a device with better customer interaction..

I do not think so. Be careful with inverters of this type. They are called "modified sine wave inverters" And what you really need is termed a "True Sine Wave Inverter." A modified sine wave inverter delivers a digital wave form that over time will destroy your laptop. It also is very probable that it is what is causing your problems. A "True Sine Wave Inverter" produces a real waveform and also switches at 60HZ. It gives the same purity of,power as your electric company does. However these are more expensive then the modified sine wave models are. Most of those come with warnings not to use any devices that need chargers.. Examples of true sine wave inverters are made by Samlex, Xantrex, ( my two favorite producers ) and a few other companies.

I don't know of anyone who has run this chain saw from an inverter, but it is possible since inverter like circuits run servo motors bigger than the motor in this saw. However, 15 amps at 120 volts is more than 150 amps at 12 volts - can the battery/alternator handle it? I doubt it. A separate gas or propane powered generator would be a better bet and probably cheaper as well.

First thing to note is that this particular "2500" Watt inverter is actually 2500 4 120v A.C. which gives you about 600 Watts per plug with no factory way to bridge it to one of the 4 plugs. Also before you buy this thing read some reviews about if you get a lemon which is common. I already decided against this inverter and it was bought for me as a present from my Sister. The inverter died in 7 weeks and after a lot of hassle we received a RMA which was sent off the end of October with zero return and zero response from the company. Do yourself a favor and find a better brand. It's worth a hundred bucks just to avoid this very cheap device. To answer your question. As long as your blanket doesn't exceed 600 Watts max your setup will work but you didn't state your amp hour total so you may only get about 2-4 hours of use before you flatten your charge. Best of luck!

This is a 10000 Watt Continuous Power Inverter, which does not match what they claim 10000 watts and customer service very bad response. They are not totally not response. I will say not match our US market specification go back to their home country. Bad! Bad! Bad! Never buy!!!!!
