Maybe buy retail.
I don't know what the legislation is under these days but if you make known the application the produce has to meet that purpose.
Probably something in the Trade Pract Act but you don't need any hassle.
But say if you went retail you can say I expect on the rating it will do this and if it doesn't I will be back for a refund. If you buy 2 kva and it won't run 1500 watts at law you would be sweet but do it my way. Maybe drag the van to the parking lot and take the salesman out if you want to be really sure, but if Bunnings they will go that approach I bet...you may pay a little more but think if you bought on the net and it doesn't work..You may find getting your money back is not that easy.
