1500W Inverter

[The Critic]

Someone ordered our new vehicle with the 1500W inverter option. This means there are two 120V outlets in the vehicle.

What are some good uses for this feature?

Blow dryer to pre-heat the cab on cold days.
Naturally, you'll just run into things that you can use it for & you'll figure it out. It'll get some use, little use, or a lot of use. You have it though.

We've used our Odyssey's for things like crockpot and keeping food warm before on holidays when driving 1+ hour. Also used it for shopvac/vacuum.

Might be enough to start the small shop vac so you don't have to drag an extension cord out. I do that all the time when I'm cleaning the camper or the cars. The F150 reports it as about 800 watts running, although start wattage is higher.

It's a TX500h, but does it matter? A 1500W inverter is a 1500W inverter.

I wondered what you ended up with.

That's basically almost a normal wall outlet..(13amp) could probably do a jobsite coffee pot or anything really
Air compressor maybe.(smaller one certainly)

I have one of these refrigerators. Can run on 12v or 120v, runs a lot better on 120v. I take it on all trips out of town and don’t have to buy ice and drain water, then take it into hotels and plug it in.

You bought a 70k Toyota and the most entertaining thing is a wall outlet?

Someone close to me used hers for a breast pump when she was driving home from work. On phone calls you'd hear "whirr-uh, whirr-uh".

I missed all that, i though it was an inverter in the ram.

Congrats on the new vehicle!

Forget the drill for this vehicle, get this!

Haha, my wife used to drive manual transmission 2005 Legacy turbo wagon and do this while chatting away on her cell phone.l driving home from work. She had an invertor plugged into accessory outlet.

So neat you have that!

Put a power cord on your furnace to feed it power. Then install a powerbox with a outlet plug near the furnace to plug in the furnace. Buy a long enough extension cord to plug the cord into your vehicle and the other end all the way into the house and the furnace so that you can unplug the furnace from the box and plug the furnace into the extension cord in the event of a power outage.
