600w sounds like the best fit for your needs.
Actually, I didn't. I'm sure 300 watts would have fit my needs just fine. All of the 300 watt PSW models on Amazon with good reviews (that I could find) cost more than the APS600-12 I purchased. There were slightly less expensive 300 watt PSW models, but their reviews were sub-par. Seemed like a no-brainer to get an inverter with additional headroom, good reviews, for similar or even less money. The fact this unit powers the coffee maker and vacuum cleaner was not expected, a complete surprise and purely icing on the cake.
