Have anyone living in a apartment complex ever tried using a cigarette outlet converter (example: here (https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dtools&field-keywords=1500+watt+inverter&rh=n%3A228013%2Ck%3A1500+watt+inverter))? I would like to get a vacuum/blower (something like this: link (https://www.amazon.com/Metropolitan-Vac-Blo-Compact-Vacuum/dp/B0002SDN7W/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1491836961&sr=1-1&keywords=vac+n+blo)) but would like to hear from those who have tried running a inverter using the cars battery. I want to use a blower to dry my car so the vacuum is a nice bonus. Pro/cons would be appreciated.
For that particular item, it runs at 11.5amps 110v, thus, 11.5*110= 1265watts Give it a 20% boost just not to have the inverter running at full capacity would yield ~1500watts. A inverter with a 1500 watts output should cost no more than $200.
