We're carrying this 500 watt inverter:

But it's only in case we need to grind coffee beans, use a hand mixer or in the event of an emergency turn on the television.

I installed a new outlet on the wall where the television outlet is. If I need inverter power elsewhere, I just run an extension cord.

I like this idea....Thanks!

I'd advise getting some 1/2" plywood to reinforce the wall where the new outlet goes. The wall is only about 1/8" thick otherwise. You'll notice that FR did that when they mounted the other outlets.
