This review is from: AIMS PWRINV150W 150 Watt Modified Sine Wave Power Inverter, 12 Volt (Electronics)

Although this inverter is rated to handle 150 watts, it overloaded and shut down any time I used more than 110 watts. (I used the P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor to measure the load of the device on the inverter, and it only showed 110 at it's peak usage).

I think it's probably too much to expect a small inverter with the 12v plug to handle loads like this. An inverter wired directly to the batteries is probably best.

For smaller loads though, this inverter is handy and very quiet.
