Got tired of the power issue in the KK. dual 120vac GROUNDED outlets, 400watts of raw digital inverted power. now i could run my phone charger, computer, coffee pot, popcorn maker, shop vac, air compressor, refrigerator, and small country with it. 
P.S. Always trust a job that you performed while drinking a Snapple and a Java Monster. |

Four Hundred watts isn't very much you know. I have a 750 watt inverter and wish it was bigger. Terry |

Yeah, I'm not sure what kind of shop vac runs on 400 watts. Is it a pocket vac? 400 watts / 120 volts = 3.33 amps. Most power tools are at least 10, if not 15 amps. You could probably run lots of christmas lights on your roof rack though... |

I will perform a write up, but i need you guys to be patient. Really patient. im a really busy person, and worse when fam visits during christmas. I know that it is not that big, however for a 40 dollar upgrade, its not bad. |

I had 2 sets of net lights and 2 strings of garland lights along with 3 trees powered off of my outlet while I was preparing for the Chicago 4x4 Toys for Tots even this year, or was it 3 sets of net lights, can't remember and none of them were LED. I think that was somewhere in the 500-750 bulb range, but not a 100% sure on that. It charges the cell phone and powers the lap top quite well, granted can't really think of anything else I would really try to use it for. |
