Not sure what category this is so put it into Sports and Outdoors
I need to run a 120w appliance sporadically for a day
Need an invertor generator, for cheap ideally under $500
Ideally quiet for use in market
What model do I get?
I don't need much power just 120w for now
Will consider second hand if you can link gumtree/facebook etc close to Sydney
Outdoors, yes car will be at stall. It's a Juicer. Probably only 1 hour in total on and off.
a juicer with a elec motor, won't be 120w, it will be more like 1200 or 2200w.
My idea was a 12v to 240v AC invertor running off the car battery - much cheaper than a generator and totally silent. However, that was based on your 120W estimate, which doesn't seem to be right for a juicer.
Power is rotational its cold press its for oranges I think 120 is right

@[Deactivated]: If the 120W figure is right, something like this should work for you, at around $100:

@[Deactivated]: You connect it to your car battery. Some models plug into your cigarette lighter socket, but this model appears to connect directly to your car battery using alligator clips.
What is the make/model of juicer to check the specs on it

If you want quiet go solar panel and battery with inverter.
Agree 120w doesn’t sound much for a juicer. Will also need to watch the startup current if it is an electric motor under load. The wattage rating may be for running power consumption, or average not peak.

Assuming 120w, you’ll need 10amp out of a 12v source. Add some losses for an inverter and say 15amps. An average car battery is about 50ah. 50/15=3.33 hours running time off a car battery. Aim for an inverter that will do at least double your 120w. Only issue is some cheap inverters may not run a motor.
Talk to someone who supplies power for caravanners. Should be able to set up a completely silent power source. For the same $ as a generator and you won’t need to buy fuel.
What kind of appliance? How many hours in total does it need to run? You mention a market, is it indoors or outdoors? If it's outdoors, is your car at the stall as well?
