A MW is named for its output cooking power, but it sucks way more than that for input power (the inverter has to supply that) Look at the label on the back for what your input watts is. Eg, a 700w will want 1050w in. An 1100 will want about 1500 in.
There are many inverter brands and some have a bad reputation. Price is not everything for quality either. I would choose a known good one even if it costs a bit more.
