Expert Reply:
The Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34278156 has a running output of 2,000 watts. From what I could find researching running washing machines off of an inverter, it is going to depend on the machine and even whether you are using hot or cold water.
If you are using cold water, the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34278156 paired with a 400 amp hour battery bank would likely do the job. But you may need to step it up to a 3,000 watt inverter like the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34278157 if you are using hot water.
It is unlikely you would be able to run the washing machine, tv and vacuum all at the same time, but you should be able to run them individually or potentially the TV paired with the washing machine or vacuum.
