Going camping and it would be nice to have an espresso out in the boonies. It draws 900 watts 7.5 amps. Just wondering if the Vagabond will power it and not fry itself?
Thanks,
Tom

You might want to consider picking up a portable espresso machine instead... like this one: http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/accessories/d26e/

Looks like a great machine but I'd rather not buy a new one right now.

no, 900 watts is way too much. The PSI900GF is a 400W inverter that can peak higher, but cannot maintain a 900W draw.

Kind of similar to the OP's question, would it be possible to power my laptop (65W I believe) say for a few hours or until the vagabond's battery is dead without causing any damage to either items? It would come in handy on those long road trips and save my from having to buy a notebook car adapter.

Also any possible issues with plugging in my laptop along with two Einsteins that are firing?
