I have made 1 purchase from them that went well.

 

Thanks for the info! We are on the road so were hoping to find a physical site store/shop we could walk into and buy the inverter today or tomorrow... do you know any big hardware store chains for example that we could search the name of?

 

Not promising but I have seen similar stuff in Leroy Merlin in amongst the solar panels, etc.

Also, it depends where you are but we have a place in Coimbra called Mixtronica that might be worth checking out.

 

I've just remembered you also have Norauto - like Halfords.

 

You can get in contact with Amumot, the owner Andre` is Pro and turning around PT in his van. https://www.amumot-shop.de/

 

Many stores carry these things. Auto parts stores, sporting goods stores, Radio Shack, Sears, Target. All you have to do is ask where they are. inverterreview.com has them in their sporting goods area. They're used for camping a lot.

 

You may purchase power inverter from online store. But before making any purchase read details and inverter review at inverterreview.com carefully. This will help to understand that the product fulfill all requirements. Thanks

 

The inverters with the lowest surge ratings are the high-speed electronic switching type (the most common). These are typically from 25% to 50% maximum overload. This includes most inverters made by Statpower, Exeltech, Power to Go, and nearly all the inexpensive inverters in the 50 to 5000-watt range. The highest surge ratings are the transformer based, low-frequency switchers. This includes most Xantrex, Magnum, and Outback Power. Surge ratings on these can range up to 300% for short periods.

Just looking myself. Amazon Portugal have but more expensive than uk. not sure of cost of shipping but maybe use a friend in uk to send to you as available on eBay or Amazon uk. Perhaps there is Amazon Portugal and eBay Portugal?
