Hi,
Our Genny has just gone bump and I'm deciding whether I *need* another or to go with an alternative power plan for the boat. One of the things we will be fitting in the near future is a washing machine. Just a plain bog std one from the nearest shop. So, is anyone running one from an Invertor, is so what's the max amp draw that you see whilst running it? I can see that most washing machines are quoted at ~1300W/240V but I presume that the most draw is just whilst they heat water and not for the entire cycle. If you have an idea of the typical amps drawn for a cycle that would be great!!
thanks, Malc
