R1T Inverter produces 120 VAC (121.5 no load) at 59.9 Hz with 2.4% THD

So confused…. What is the actual capability then? 800W, 1000W, 1200W 1500W or other? Could it seriously not power a hair dryer?

Any hair dryer up to 1500 W.

The actual capability is 1500W continuous, and anecdotally very little surge capacity beyond that. A standard 120V/15A household outlet is 1800W, while a 120V/20A kitchen outlet is typically 2400W and both can momentarily surge quite a bit past that for loads like motor starts (air compressors, A/C, etc…).

With a standard 15A plug on the R1 and the appearance that it can support standard household loads, it will inevitably lead to disappointment and leave people in a bind.
