I want to install a Go-Power 1750 MSW Inverter to run the coffee pot. I wonder if there would be any problems using a MSW Inverter on a coffee pot that has digital clock and programing circuits. I only plan on just turning the coffee pot on to make coffee. I do not care about the programing features. Will the MSW damage the coffee pot and not make it work. I have small SW inverter to run the TV and other small loads. I do have the battery bank to run a large inverter. Any info would be great. Thanks to all. Gary

It likely will ruin the controls...but that's the problem with MSW. You take a chance with it.Why not just spring for a PSW and hook it up whole-house and be done with it? And you can get rid of the little one too. Much cleaner, way more useful.

I have to run my 2KW Honda generator for three hours each morning when camping off the power grid to re-charge my battery bank. This is when we make our coffee for the day. We like to GRIND AND BREW coffee beans... Our coffee maker brews up into a thermo carafe that stays hot for a very long long time period...We use the Cuisinart GRIND and BREW Coffee Maker model DGB600BC... Only takes five minutes to brew up into the 10 Cup Double Wall insulated thermal carafe. Great coffee if you always use the same water brand each time... Roy Ken

You did not mention Which MSW inverterMy coffee maker has no problems with my Trip Lite PV1250 How ever it is an old under shelf model with Digital timerEntirely different circuits then what is being used in newer machinesSorry brain fartGo power psw are well thought ofDon't know anything about their MSW models

Like my Copulating Dragon brand AC ammeter / voltmeter with all Wu calligraphy label instead of multi-lingual or an instruction sheet....ya takes yer chances ya plugs er in and the results of the great dilemma are immediate I tell ya! In my case...KA-POW!SMOKE!FIRE!Manufacturer quoted on my rude customer commentSo sorry. Working right away to fix this.They didn't even blow me a kiss."YEECO®" Avoid like Pneumonic plague

Is it rated to run motors? If so, go for it. If not, well I hope it was not an expensive coffee pot.My Cobra 2500 watt inverter did not damage my Nuwave induction cooker--but I did not attempt to run it.CT_WANDERER wrote:I want to install a Go-Power 1750 MSW Inverter to run the coffee pot.

All my stuff works just fine on my MSW 2000 W magnum inverter.

Ummmm, ya sayin' a GO POWER inverter is the same as a MAGNUM inverter?

No. I did not say or imply that.

Go Power is an inverter only product and is generally pretty well made. That doesn't say it is PSW--but then my Cobra 2500 watt MSW would run a 1591 watt microwave.

I had an expensive coffee maker that died, maybe from using our MSW inverter. So I went to Walmart and bought a $10 Mr. Coffee. Coffee tastes exactly the same, it pulls less amps when running (900W v. 1100W), and if it does die one day (its over a year old) I will have gotten my money's worth.

try it or buy a cheap no-frills coffee pot. the heating elements won't care.

Personally I think the MSW issues are way over blown, yes some devices could have issues and I would avoid the bottom of the barrel (Harbor Frieght or similer) inverters PSW or MSW

Well I am installing a dedicated power line for the coffee maker to where the inverter will be going. Still up in the air if I want to go with MSW or PSW inverter. In the mean time, guess I will check to see if I can find a simple coffeemaker with just a on off switch. If not then it comes to, if I want to just gamble with the coffeemaker I have and a MSW inverter. Still got time before our next long road trip and still waiting to see what you people have to say.

I don't think there's much more to say about inverters, but there's plenty to say about how to make coffee.

Addiction costs money. No money - no quality stuff. Invest in a SW inverter or get your morning shot with a stove top coffee, isn't really inferior quality of tripping, just more messy.

Here's a tip. I have an inverter that sold for more than $2,000 MSW. Trace.

I connected it ALONG WITH A KILL-A-WATT to a coffeemaker called a brew-station. First with public power, then to my Trace 4024.

The wattage going into the brew-station was 120 higher with the Trace. It was connected for a second or two. Upon removal the device lost it's ability to program by clock. Forever.

Probabilities. Grab that peg and spin The Wheel Of Misfortune

I once had a digital timer coffee pot (Mr. Coffee) even my True Sine bothered it as did my Generator and it died young.

A Replacement has no timer,, Just an ON/OFF switch, works great. Same make, different model.
