Re: [A/S] Getting ready to plunge into solar

Thanks, Tony! Tell me more about your rechargeable vacuum cleaner toy....six animals and me want to know:-) I'm using a small shop vac now when I have AC and it's adequate but bulky to store. I will mention that I want a true sine wave inverter. I think Blue Sky is one of the popular ones?

Use the inverter sparingly but 3 minutes in a microwave is a lot of cooking. Or 5 minutes with a real vacuum cleaner is worth an hour with one of the rechargeable toys.
