Like I said aaaaages ago... a 1kW PSW inverter should be fine

Yeah I am convinced now. Thanks again anyway. I will buy a 1000 or near to it upwards as I can get at the right price to go into the parts bin ? oh and it will deffo be pure sine I arent going back to owt else after all these years now the price has dropped dramaticaly.

My gadget says the fridge runs at 44 watts so say eight times that would be 352 watt thingies then so that means a ???? inverter capability for about half a second?

Yes in theory you could use a 500VA inverter but it would be sailing close to the wind so a 1000VA would be a better choice as it would easily cope with the fridges in rush.

Yes and very cheap innitt, still on offer. I reckon I might buy one although I usualy buy mastervolt or victron stuff at the price that one is it must be worth a punt for the spares box ?

They might have the 1000W on offer next month, and that can spike to 2000W transient.

The 1000 c series is on offer dirt cheap. I have messaged em to ask what difference is between their types of inverter ?

Our Nespresso machine takes circa 100+Amps when I use it for Mrs Bob in the morning. Today with the engine running it took 50 Amps. Tonight I opened a can of Abbot Ale ( well actually a few more) and the ammeter didn't show any power loss. I think that is the way to go.
