A typical soldering iron takes about 30W.
Confirms what I wrote - 150W for entertainment - alright, make it 300W if it's satellite AND you want to charge laptop at the same time. And then 1,200-2,000W for big things, mostly kitchen items. Nothing in between, no need for 400-500W :).
Exceptions are rare, like 350W drill charger. Have just checked my Dewalt 1 hour charger - 120W. My first drill (now a backup) has 40W charger. A fulltimer will likely have 500-700W vacuum but won't be needing a 500W inverter because very likely will have 1,500-2,000W inverter for microwave, coffee maker, hair drier etc.
