Has anyone run a blender off the Inverter?

[Drewster]

I'm looking at getting a cheap blender so we can make margaritas, etc. at the track and it's right at 400W (BL2010BP). Has anyone run any blenders, power tools, etc. off the inverter? My main concern is whether it has enough inrush current to kick the motor over

I like where your head is at. In for the thread notifications.

So far ive run my dremel, blown up an air mattress for camping, And keep my power tool batteries charged. For some reason it will not run a hair dryer? I was trying to smooth out decals and i had to run a cord to the house. I do keep an extension cord in the rambox JIC. Ill have to try the blender.

Welp, I had a 2012 2500 before I bought my 2020 1500 and I'm not sure what size the inverter was but it would spin up margaritas on gravel backroad adventures. It was like small bullet like blender.

I’ve run a small fan for 30 minutes many times.

Anyone ever considered or has a ceramic coating on their vehicle.
I have a 2019 Ram Rebel in Black and would look great with it I am thinking.

Loved the Margarita idea so went out to test mine...lol. First, I tried just using the ACC and the blender turned for a second but quit working soon after. Then I tried with the engine running and the blender worked just fine under full power!

lol...yeah, I had to reread that post twice to see if I missed something.

Can confirm that a blender works. Tried mine out with the engine running and it worked just fine(neighbors probably thought i was nuts). Only if the hair dryer would work, would save me from complaints from a certain someone while on camping trips

Yeah, hair dryers are 800-1500 watts - a little over the 400W limit

Awesome! Blender ordered

Motor loads like a blender use a much higher peak draw on startup than under load. If it says 400w, I'd suggest hooking one up to a kill-a-watt and measuring it directly and also knowing where the fuse is if you pop it.

Get a 1500VA UPS to use as a buffer.

I can’t even get my little 5 gallon shop vac to work with the inventor in acc or engine running.

 

[Zig10]

I ran a random orbit buffer off of mine when the electricity at the marina conked out halfway through waxing my boat. It was a lifesaver...or a least a shoulder and arm saver.

 

[BoudinBall]

Don't know about a blender, but I tried running a fridge while my power was out from Hurricane Delta. Yeah, that didn't work so well.

 

[NorthStar]

No mystery here...ceramic coating for those times when you used the blender to make a batch of margaritas, then yer buddy had a little too much and erp'd on the side of your shiny new Ram. Gotta protect the paint!

 

[Wildlash]

Has anyone of you tried using a cordless blender? I heard that they are super easy to handle, and are perfect for trips. However, is it powerful enough for blending nuts and vegetables? I've already got used to my Blendtec blender, but as I travel a lot, I'm looking for a battery operated or a portable one. I would be grateful if you could recommend me something similar to this one blenderjournal.com. It should be recharchable and have thick blades, so that the final outcome won't contain chunks of unblended ingredients. Thank you in advance!

I tried running a Keurig single cup coffee maker on my inverter and it did not work on my 2019 Rebel. Just kept tripping the breaker.

Put it on the campfire to heat the water first
