As with any product, what inverter you choose to purchase has to be driven by your overall need. If your intention is to power minute and simple devices, then a small inverter may be perfect. However, if your intention is to power multiple devices at one time, then you will have to consider an inverter capable of handling that power load. more
Multiple Devices vs Power Consumption here
There are plenty of trade-offs that need to be considered before purchasing an inverter of any size and wattage. Specifically, you need to investigate if the DC batteries you currently have are sufficient for what your planned usage is with an inverter. Additional batteries or inverters increases cost, but can give you a more desired outcome. here

5100 btu/hr the heater will output!
The heat will generally blow cold air. But occasionally hot air will come out. I usually leave the fan in the off position and when I feel warm air radiating from the vents I turn the fan over to the 1 or 2 position. The air usually quickly turns to cold. Then I turn the fan back off.
Heres a better description of the issue:

I thought the car interior heater works off heat from the engine when it gets warm enough. that is why turning on the heater to HIGH("A/C off" mode) when your car is overheating, helps cool down the engine a little? more
Not very practical and there's a good chance at highway speed the heat loss will exceed more

This is the DC current the inverter will use to operate the 1500 watt load. more
This “Rule of Thumb” is intended as a general guide for estimating the DC amps required to operate a DC to AC inverter. Since the calculations yield approximate values, an appropriate safety factor should be considered when designing and specifying system components, such as wire size and length.
