Your inverter provides 150 Watts (maximum), your microwave needs 700 Watts to operate.

What else is there to say?

Look at this its for a caravan:

you can larger than 150W inverters so it does hold out the promise that it may be able to find a workable compromise.

Oops, should have read the link before replying :blushing:

Maybe you should just buy a small portable generator c£50?

It goes without saying to not run the genny inside the avensis

I am interested to know why you would want a microwave in the car, do you travel to some very remote places where hot food is not available?

Inverters go up to say 5000w watts from a 12v Battery but they cost a small fortune and will kill your Battery quicker than you will realise. The starting surge on say a 850w microwave is around 1500w so you will need an 1800w inverter costing around £3000, are you sure you really want a microwave in your car?

If you live on the road i think take a ways are your best bet.

We used to do that with an old land rover, Meat loaf and baked potatoes cooked in foil on the manifold.

Drive to the campsite a few hours away and you had a hot meal ready as soon as you put your tents up... Magic :thumbsup:

i'm going fishing a lot and the caffe food is not appealing at all

i thought it might cost a couple of hundred pounds to get a working one but it seems that it's a little bit more than i was expecting

anyway, thanks for your input guys
