I just purchased a Tappan 550W microwave that consumes 850W. I
also purchased a Xantrex Xpower 1000W inverter (modified sine wave).
About 20% of the time, when I start the microwave, the light turns on,
the turn table starts to rotate, and just as the magnetron starts up,

The only mention of the dividend was at the end of the statement.

I need some info and advice on car haulers. I plan on  alternately

probably also has valuable data on it.  You may also have valuable
