200W isn't a lot of power. Most microwaves are 1KW. You'll need an inverter that can do that at least to run a fridge constantly and a microwave periodically.


I swear the comment I replied to said:

"would personally prefer having an exercise bike plugged into the TV..."

When I replied to it.

However, I have no proof and am often wrong.


Inverter is not a battery so it is translating the useful work from the human directly.

I am imagining a 1kW sprint run by Uni students for microwaved ramen noodles!
