Aims 1200/2400 PSW with 10amp transfer switch (10*120=1200)
i'm not using the TS/pass thru function

Amazon $169 Aims 1200w PSW

1200w continuous 2400w surge, MW is 750 cooking watts, 1100 input watts

this should power anything i want to power, maybe not my circular saw or welder, but everything else

primary use TV, laptop, fans, device charging
secondary MW late at night (other wise i would have got something with less power)

  • Yes the stock arrangement has been changed (3) batteries NOT just (2) GC

    i have a small Heat pad, i keep by the bed, use it for a few minutes most nights
    just to relax my back,
    turning it off before dozing off, is the tricky part
    been thinking about adding a timer, set it for 30 minutes, then lay down
  • Even my 4024 Trace grunts when starting an old Skilsaw worm drive. Too heavy for me now that I'm old and weak.

    A nice addition Mr. Wizard! Time to think about a tiny heating pad for frosty winter mornings!

    Approx 350ampHrs of battery

    The MW use seldom hours over (3) minutes

    Late night bacon only takes 30 seconds

    Early morning coffee warm up (2) minutes

    Make a pot of coffee (10) minutes, normally with generator

    But can do with inverter IF desperate


    Curious, has the OEM battery arrangement of 2 6s been changed?
    2 premium 6s would be about 220 ampsHrs. 4 budget 6s would be about 416ampHrs.
    Inquiring minds want to know.
