I want to run the Metro Vacuum MB3CD Air force Master Blaster 8-HP Dryer. Draws 15 amp/2160W power draw. Will this inverter handle it?

The issue is how much actual power your dryer will draw at the moment it starts up. I tried to run my air compressor, which runs just under 2000 watts, but it draws (according to the meter on the inverter) 4200 watts to start. The 7000 watt peak rating lasts for literally one second, which is not long enough to start the compressor in cold weather. Your dryer would likely not need a huge power draw for very long, but there's no way to know for sure without testing it with a meter. If you have any other heavy appliances or tools you're thinking of powering, I would go up in size. Hope this helps!

yes for about 45 min to 1 hour (solid running more or less) see a web page for a calculator- within - ep.yimg.comnice unit - I am ordering my second one this week..Good Luck- Dennis

Probably not. This item is rated only up to 3 amps and any full-sized vacuum cleaner is going to draw considerably more current than that. (The description for this switch should probably say "small appliance" but even that might run afoul of things like coffee pots and toasters.)

Washer yes, Dryer if it's 115v . I've not actually tried it but based upon the Amps avail it should do the job.

I will have to say no to that! It won't even run my 900 Watt microwave I have in my semi. They tell you the inverter is 3000 W but actually it's only 1500. I was disappointed when I receive the inverter and it said it on the box.

Unfortunately I don't know and I can't test it either as our dryer is a regular US version. My Husband said that it depends how much capacity the dryer needs. He suspected that if it says 2500 W it might not work with 5000W transformer, also if you google it, you will find "recommend using a voltage converter / transformer which has a Wattage that is 2 to 3 times higher than your appliance. " http://www.220-electronics.com/voltage-converter-buying-guide.html Sorry, that I could not help much with your question!

it depends on the amp draw from all of your appliances. 110 volts can power a 65" or 19" tv. check the amp draw for the appliances. The other gotcha is - most of these newer inverters are not accurate as far as capacity goes. for example - i bought one of these as a spare in case my old (7 year+) walmart inverter died. it could not handle the load but the old walmart one had no problem. my best advice is - buy one about 2x the amperage you need and be prepared to return it. do not use it in a situation which you cannot have it fail. have some sort of spare... these guys that answered "yes" haven't got a clue as to what you are really powering. it depends on the amp draw from all of your appliances. 110 volts can power a 65" or 19" tv. check the amp draw for the appliances.

I have this inverter, and my understanding is that it is pure sine wave. I use it to power my entire vacation house on a Caribbean island with no troubles, save for the fact that the vacuum cannot run at the same time as anything else.

Ohms law says amps X Volts = Watts, So with the information provided the compressor runs on 120 volts at 15 amps will be 1800 watts. However when this compressor motor starts under a load I'll bet it spikes upwards of 20 amps probably around 30 amps so if your going to use a power inverter to run this compressor better be a good one ! At least 3600 watts at the minimum

It says 1600 watts. That's 14 amps at 110 volts or 7 amps at 220 volts. But it did not work with a 1500 watt hair dryer at all and it "killed" my wife's curling iron. Read the reviews. I would not recommend this unit for converting 220 V to 110 V. As an adapter to use dual-voltage devices with different outlet types it is OK.

Yes this step up power transformer will provide the required volltage for a 220 - 240 dyrer but I am not sure what the watt usage of the dryer. The power supply will only support 1500 watts but proably a little less that published value. Make sur to find out it the wattage requirement of the dryer before purchasing the pwer supply to make sure it will support the dryer.

You need to have enough power (Watts) on the device. My wife uses these transformers for dryers (~1600W), and similar appliances, without issues.

I would not use on hair dryer. Just my opinion. 1875W is roughly 15.6 amps. I believe the specifications said 15 amps and I do not want to take any chances. I use it for a microwave which is 1500W, so it is around 12.5 amps. I also use it on a toaster, and other small appliances.

My initial reaction is no. This kit comes with a 110 volt inverter(can be set to 115 or 120) and would need and external step up transformer to run 220 volt motors. From my experience this inverter would not run a clothes dryer or a 10,000 BTU window air conditioner. It does run my energy efficient refrigerator 24/7 and has been doing that for 1 1/2 years now. I have the 3000 watt Cotek inverter to run all my large motor driven appliances.

No. Electric dryers average about 20 amps at 220 volts, that would be about 4400 watts, which is the peak the DuroMax can put out for a small amount of time. Don't use this unit for Electric Dryers or Electric water heaters. Best regards, Jim

I have mine on a 15 amp circuit. I use it for a dust collector in my basement. The dust collector will draw 13 amps max and the outlet works fine.

Yes, This dryer takes 220 volt power. You will need to purchace a power cord with a 3 or four prong, depending which outlet you have.

Depends on the amperages. This unit will handle up to 10 Amps of running motor load.
