Could I use this to power a vitamix at 1380 watts, 11.5 amps? If so, what would I need?

No sweat...most important step that most people skip is hook up to battery with no less than #4 welding cable. # 2 is what i used and never had an issue powering anything. If you cheat on this, it will kick out on you constantly. Auto parts store will have dual batt terminals for a few bucks for hook up. Sweet unit...:)

This is a 3 farad capacitor, so it should withhold up to 3,000 watts. I am running a1,000w and a 540w amp. I bought this one to have enough space for upgrade if I choose to in the future. But not fully sure, but I don't see why not.

yes it does. Vitamix 5200, 2-peak HP (1380 Watts) motor 120 volt, 60 Hz 11.5 amps (North America) 7 Yr Warranty

thank you all for your response. I now understand what I need, at least 8 amps power supply ...enjoy your weekend!!!! :_)

I believe it would work. You need 10 amps at 12 volts (120 watts or 120 volt-amps). This unit can supply 12.5 amps at 12 volts.

I'm not sure why you would want to use if for a Coffee maker? Coffee makers are not really succeptible to power variations.However if you feel the need to use it for a coffee maker then check the wattage on your coffee maker. If it's 2400 watts or less then you can use this. It's rated up to 2400 watts. I'm assuming you are in the U.S. and have 110V AC. This is not for 220V.

It worked fine for my Vitamix model, but I don't have the model number in front of me right now, sorry.

I'm sorry but I do not know what part number you require. Perhaps try phoning the Vitamix Customer Service number.

Sure....with a 120 volt to 12 volt DC power converter. It is a digital unit, so power use (watts) should be very low. But check the actual amp draw prior to buying converter unit.

I like the product. It works well with my coffe maker 1200 W. Output 110-120, input 220-240. Should be fine with your product if it does not exceed the wattage.

Depends on the tool. It handled my microwave which drew about 1200 watts at start up with no problem. As with any inverter proper connections are critical

According to the specs this unit is rated 2000va(2000 watts). You could use the fuse holders to hold a 15 amp fuse on the Primary side(input) side to power your variac

Ideally would be 24 watts, without considering conversion losses etc. Being a switching supply, it should be close to the that (basic formula is P=I*E, P is power, I is current, E is volts).

According to the sticker on the base of the blender, it is rated 120 VAC, 5 Amps so no, it wouldn't be rated at 1000 watts - more like 600 max.

Wish I could tell you -- threw it out because it wouldn't get very hot, so probably very few watts. I was using converter rather than auto outlet, so maybe that was problem, but that's what I needed it for. Good luck.

Yes, just make sure you don't exceed the max load of 300W. If you need more than 300W, use an ApplianceLinc.

This might work depending on the wattage/amps that your food blender requires. If your blender runs on under 750 watts this 1000 Watt converter will be great. If it is more than 750, I recommend a converter with more wattage or, (depending on the price) purchasing a 220 volt blender when you arrive to Europe. Good luck!
