Rik, the outside dimensions are 17 21/32 wide, 11 2/11
high, 12 3/5 deep.  The overall "footprint" is about
the same as the smallest of units.  It is about 1 inch
narrower than the GE or Samsung but 1" to 2" taller
and 0 to 1 inch deeper.  Everything I've looked at
came in at 1000 watts.  There were some on the net at
900 watts but I couldn't find them in the stores and
I've looked a lot of places.  I wasn't brave enough to
buy on the net without testing and besides the
shipping cost would be 20 to 30 per cent of the
purchase price.  I'm going to keep my eye open for an
even smaller unit but for now I'm excited by the
"proof of concept".  You can obviously weld axles on a
trailer, maybe you can get out the "cuttin" torch and
reduce this baby down to size.  Brad.
