If my blender is rated at 250W, does that mean thats the maximum amount of power it can possibly consume? or is it a minimum, or an average?
does it take into account how much load you place on the motor?
Lets say i want to run it on a small 500W inverter in my van, how can i roughly estimate how much power its going to draw once im blending my food?
i wouldn’t want to risk blowing it up and i have no testing equipment..

You should really contact the appliance manufacturer(s). Ratings are generally nominal. I’m practice, the actual power consumed will vary with supplied voltage and load. Take a resistive load, like a kettle. Let’s say it’s rated for 1200W at 120V. It will draw 10A and you can calculate the resistance of the coil as 12 Ohms. If you reduce the voltage to 110V, the current raw will be 110V/12 Ohms = 9.16 Amps, which translates to 1008.3 Watts
