PLEASE understand and read these things before purchasing. There are different species that do different things. Not only does it magically solve all your energy needs. Once you figure it out, you'll know what it can and can't bring into play. I bought this because I travel a lot and love fueling my slow cooker with my world famous chili! It has more than enough power to get this babe nice and hot. Read up on inverters again and find out the differences. This is a MODIFIED sine wave. This means it only works for certain types of things. HAVE FUN!
