Hello! My main use for this would be to run a CPAP at night during outages when we don't have our fossil fuel generator running. Will it suffice?

This machine is great...I have not used it to run my cpap yet, but I Dont see why it can't. I plugged a serge proector to it and ran a lamp most of the night. I have watched a 50" TV with it. I have even used a induction cook top with it. I love it, I keep it charged and ready at all times.

CPAP units consume about 30-40 watts on average, so 7 hrs. operation would use about half the battery's charge. So, just big enough, if you recharge it during the day

I would Google the owners manual and read what it will run. I have no idea what a CPAP pulls and would really hate to be wrong. Good luck.

yes, it will be more than adequate. I actually use a bi pap device which actually requires a little more power. I use it when camping for 2-3 days.

As long exceed thwarted output of the generator. It is a great little machine. I needed it to power my CPAP.

I've seen many others asking the same question under a "Duracell" unit like this, and they seem to be getting a response of "Yes, it'll last at least 1 night". I don't have a CPAP, but if it needs under 12 watts of power this should last at least 8 hours. The battery in these will have a rating like "12 amp-hour" hinting it can supply 1 amp (at 12V) for 12 hours, or 2 amps for 6 hours, etc. If it can run off of 12V DC power, that would be better lasting a bit longer since some energy gets wasted converting it to 120V with the inverter.

No, this unit is way too small for that. This unit is for simple power needs, coffee maker, run a small fridge, a fan etc. I have used this to run a simple fridge, fan and coffee maker. .during a 2 day power short. It can handle all of this with no problem. The bad side, it will drink the gas.

Yeah, they do have great customer care... Contact them. I believe I read that it does support 240/50 electricity...but better call them. I know my cpap does for sure but I am not certain on the so clean machine.

I have operated it for a week or two continuously in a hotel room with no problems, if you were outside I assume you would be running from a generator. If so just turn the power off. The box is well insulated so I doubt you would have a problem

Yes it will. I use the Respironics CPAP, and it does work. Be sure to use the CPAP without the humidifier (or with it turned off), because the heater in the humidifier draws much more power than the CPAP itself. If humidity is needed on battery power, put warm water in the reservoir.

I am not really sure how this will work but leaning towards on the safe side, I would say NO. This heater is drawing a lot of power and I think the generator as the source will not work for this application.If I were you, I will contact the generator manufacturer and explain how you plan of using the unit. I hope this helps.

it can be used for propane or natural gas it has the hook up line for both. the electronic ignitor is battery operated. and yes i have used mine when the power is out

Yes. I do not see why it would not perform well for such a short period of time as long as the computer server does not spike demands over the limits of the transformer. I am not an electrician.

My Goal Zero Escape 150 (same capacity as this one) runs my CPAP for 4-5 hours, but not all night. This unit only stores about 14 amp hours. You have to determine your amp hour needs. Watts/Volts = Amp Hours. Find out the wattage your device requires then divide by 12 volts and see how many amps it will draw... then purchase a unit that will power your projector as long as you need it to via amp hours. :)

We have hooked ours up to leaf blowers, outdoor equipment, radios and a pop-up camper. Uses very little gas, it's quiet. Great generator !

I've used this as a replacement for my cpap. It's less restrictive (not tied to an air pump) and allows more movement and less sleep interruptions. I'm not advocating this in place of cpap therapy but as a different approach to control the causes of chronic snoring. It's way more portable when travelling and much easier to use. I'm still taking data but it's looking favorable. I've also wanted to try the 'mouth guard' I've seen advertised but have yet the need to...hope this helps!

This has to be attached to a battery source (like a car battery). It would depend on how many watts is required to run the CPAP machine. I can't imagine it would be greater than this, but you would have to check what is the minimum wattage to run the machine. This is an 800Watt. There are 1000 Watt and 1200 Watt ones as well.

This unit was not designed or manufactured to be used for such long periods of time, when no one will be around (because you'll be asleep) to keep an eye on it. Considering the potentially tragic consequences of misusing electrical heating appliances in a home where people are sleeping, I would strongly urge you to buy one specifically designed, tested, and UL (or CSA, etc.) certified to be used unattended and for longer periods of time.

This is battery operated, so probably not ideal for an "always on" solution. I use mine for temporary oxygenation of a bucket while fishing/crabbing.

This is a great generator for home use during emergency power out conditions. However, this is not a generator for camping . It is way too loud for that. If you're looking for a quiet generator for camping, I believe the class of generator is called an "inverting"' style. Look it up .
