What Can I Power With This?

This kit includes a 1600VA inverter with an estimated continuous output of ~1300W. A comfortable all-rounder for serious motorhome and off-grid base loads.

Inverter size 1600VA
Continuous output ~1300W

Typical appliances you can run

  • Induction hob on a medium setting (around 1000–1300W)
  • Larger inverter air-con (around 900–1200W running)
  • Vacuum cleaner (modern, around 700–900W)
  • Heated clothes airer (around 300W)
  • Dishwasher, heat-pump type (around 900W)
  • Larger dehumidifier (around 400–700W)
  • Bread maker (around 450–800W)
  • Small microwave (around 700–900W)
A 700–900W microwave generally fits well here with sensible headroom, depending on startup demand and the wider system design.
