Im putting a microwave in our work truck for the season so we can heat our lunches and try to save some money, and I picked up a 1000watt microwave for $10 at a thrift store now Im going to need a mammajamma inverter that pumps out 1000watts correct?? Guy at work is trying to tell me his little plug into the lighter socket 75watt that runs his computer will work for the microwave too.

 

Microwaves need a fair bit of juice. Odds are the lighter socket fuse can't take that, so you will have to end up buying one that hooks up directly to the battery.

 

just install a 1000watt bass amp and run 60hz tones into the microwave when its time to cook.....

 

Yes it should be at least a 1000w continuous, not peak and for the money get one a littlle larger if u could, i dont know if there is any surge current involved in a microwave but u may have to consider that as well so possibly 1200w inverter or u may have to use microwave on lower power setting.

 

Logan you should probably get a 1250W inverter. pricy though, and even more once you factor in it will draw colse to 100amps of current to run.

CanTire has a 1200W unit for 170, a 1750W unit for $255.

this gives you an idea at least.

 

my shark vacum wouldnt nun worth a on the cig light hook up,cant see a nooker working lol.
