Here's a tip:

Find out the rated power consumption of the device you wanna connect, then buy a power inverter rated above the power consumption of the device.

Example:

If a laptop has a power consumption of...hmm let's say 120W. Get a power inverter rated 150W or to be safe, get 200W. Always have an ample allowance.
