I have a Power Bright PW6000-12 inverter, will this cooktop run off of that? Does it have high quality power regulation?

I am not familiar with the inverter you are talking about, but I used this unit in a RV with inverter and generator with no problems. It pulls 1800 watts

I cannot speak to the inverter issue but if outputs 60hz 1120v current it should work fine. The power setting are extremely consistent if set on temperature they are within two to three degrees of the indicated temperature almost always on the high side(i.e. if set at 80 degrees F the actual temp with my unit will be 82 degrees. Overall it seems to be of high quality.

I'm not familiar with the inverter you mentioned, but check that it is capable of 1800 watts at 120vac. If it can't support this amount of currernt, you run the risk of either a "brown-out" situation from the point of view of the cooktop or the inverter might either shut down or be destroyed.

I expect it will work, but it will likely make some whining noise since a modified sine wave has a lot of harmonics in it that will get through to the coil. I do not believe the unit will be in any danger, but if it makes noise it will be annoying. You will just have to try it and see. This is probably the finest induction hob you can buy.

No, mine works great. But that pirt is only meant to handle so many watts. If you exceed the wattage, you'll wreck it.

Should work out fine - I checked the P43 stove manual on the Harman website and it has the following electrical information: Electrical Rating 115 VAC, 60 Hz, Start 4.2 Amps, Run 2.8 Amps - this 1000w inverter should cover that just fine - a surge of 483 watts and running 322 watts. Hope this helps

Bryan, I can tell you that the bottom of the unit has a certified sticker on bottom which says:Model S2F2, rating 120V-60hz, 1800w. This is a sticker for the US and whether the unit can also be use elsewhere, I do not know. I searched all over it, sides, top and bottom but could find no other info. I love this cooktop and hope you can find more info from the company or amazon customer service.

Interesting question. Not sure what you mean by power. It runs off of 120 volts but the power is all the wonderful things it does.

I have not experienced any issues with the power of this unit. It heats up quickly and smokes the food in a timely manner. You really only need more wattage with a larger box.

Yes, it's "close" to a constant 2000 watt. However, you better have a VERY good battery bank. It will actually run above 2000 watts for a short period of time. I have a Kill-a-watt, and I have placed 1800 watt load on it (while I was running the microwave, and the freezer)I would not want to run 2000 watts for more than a few mins at a time, but it will do it for enough time to heat up something in the microwave. Hope that helps.

I have a 1200 and use it in mine. I don't cook on hi for a long period of time. I tend to use a lesser power and mainly steam.

It's a 1000W appliance w/ a continuous adjustment dial, but I cook mostly at less than halfway to maximum. You should size your breaker or inverter to the maximum wattage.

If the wattage of the inverter is greater than the rating of the heat gun it shouldn't be an issue

No, i never try. I always have a load on it, and if I turn things off it goes to a standby or power save mode automatically.My inverter have been running for more then 2 years now. With no problems so for.

You can use it on anything that uses less than the 500w rating, probably safe to not go over 400w too often. I've run various electronics (playstation) and a ninja blender as well as a kitchenaid mixer without issues. Have used mine for over 2 years now without problems. If you have larger components then you should get the larger model.

I'm running this on a 300w and it's runniing fine. I have a 500w but it's too big to fit in my case lol, but it runs just fine with the 300w so I'm not concerned.

oK, let's suppose I wanted to run an electric baseboard heater. new ballgame,right? I did say it was a deer stand and quiet heat is good. would it drain 4 deep cells pretty fast and would the inverter have to be over 1000 watts?

I just got one for my new apartment. I can tell you this --- it works as advertised. The computer cooking is excellent. I do know that if you have very much of anything else plugged into or running on the same 15 am circuit, you may blow the breaker. So, it pulls pretty close to 15 amps; especially in full power mode.

The microwave works perfectly on "shore" power and is currently working on a 1000w Modified Square Wave inverter. It's noisy and takes longer to cook, but other than that it's fine. I've been using microwave ovens on msw inverters for over 20 years and haven't had one fail yet. I spent 1 month in Alaska with this setup and used the microwave multiple times per day without a problem. I believe the 1000 watt msw inverter is able to run the microwave where the pure sine wave will not is due to the "surge capacity" of the msw. Both inverters are drawing about 100 amps at the 12v source. This means a cheap 600 or 700 watt Wal-Mart microwave is actually drawing 1200 watts, allowing for inefficiency in the inverter. I've owned lots of inverters and there is a HUGE difference in what they can actually run. Pure sine wave inverters all seem to be overrated. I have two 1500 watt msw inverters right now. One is a Cobra and the other is branded, "Trisonic". The weird, never-heard-of Chinese brand, "Trisonic" will run my worm drive skill saw, and the Cobra immediately shuts down with an overload condition. Sorry I went on for so long, but I hope this is helpful to someone.

You should consider this machine to be load limited (full-time and NOT counting higher starting loads!) to around 1600 watts (figure about 15 amps). Without knowing the running/starting loads of each appliance (should be listed in the specs), it's not possible to give you a better answer. Good unit though, starts easily and runs quietly.
