How many watts do they pull?
I think most portable units pull between 1300 and 1800 watts max.
I picked up one of the NuWave Pro models (1800 watts) mainly for use in the coach, but I use it at home also. Absolutely wonderful for boiling a big pot of water without also getting the kitchen piping hot. I expect the standard model is powerful enough at 1300 watts.
My complaints: The temperature control is not so accurate as I would have hoped, and it seems to have hot spots even with heavy cast iron skillets. Maybe a diffuser disk would help with both those issues.
When I tried to use it on the inverter while boondocking, it produced no heat - cooling fan was running, but no heat. I'm guessing it must need pure sine wave power, and I have a modified sine inverter.
I also bought one of the Magma nesting cookware sets to use with it. Pricy, but top quality and well worth the money.
