Is there anyway to manage inrush current spikes with an AC motor?

I'm looking at powering one of these from an inverter. It's rated at 250W but I suspect the inrush would mean that a 400w inverter would trip out on startup.

Not one that's going to be cheaper than buying a bigger inverter, if the one you have doesn't fancy the job.

I don't have one yet, but the one I was looking at is only 400w. The inverter thing is secondary so hopefully once I get it I can run it on the mains and work out what the peak draw is.
