~$1700 at BigW
~ $1850 at HNSeems like it's cheaper.
It's on sale at outbax, but for $2999
$1,119.30 right now
Gone to $3k now.
Over the course of the day, the price on catch was $1119.30, $1599, $2659 and $2999. This dynamic pricing thing needs to end.
Why not buy 2 1,500w units for half the price?
Halve the chance of economic failure.
2 1,500w units can't run high powered devices (my air fryer is 2000w and they wouldn't be able to run it).
Your air fryer may or may not draw 2000w for all settings. Most inverters support up to double 5s peak current - so possibly 3000w for 5s. That could be enough to run the air fryer when not set to max temp.
Not a comprehensive description. Over drawing a power supply can cause the power supply to randomly shut down and parts to overheat or just break. So unless you have more detailed info or testing equipment this can be a very expensive learning experience.
@lethological: Yes it will shut down to prevent overheating. Hence it won't overheat, nor break. They are designed to handle these kinds of peak demands. My 2000w induction works fine at 1000w on my 1500w inverter.
34kg. That's pretty hefty to take camping. Anyone used one? Claimed Energy capacity = tested capacity?
my renogy 200ah battery alone is 20kg so the weight mentioned is expected considering it has inbuilt charger, dc to ac inverter and ports
How long could this run a regular fridge?
several days for a 12v fridge
That Voltx range is the best value. Would make WFH more "flexible".
Nah a true ozbargainer would drag this 34kg beast to work (walking or bicycle), charge it up and then go home to enjoy energy paid for by the company.
Mate, I'd be charging it up on the day in the office and then using that power on my WFH days to make them more "flexible".
I had been planning to get a power station and saw this deal come up, so YOLO'd it without doing any research. Then a day or so later I went to research it but couldn't find much info. Even the PDF manual on the website is not helpful as it's just a spec sheet. Anyway, it got delivered yesterday, but I haven't had time to play with it, so can't comment about that side of things. I did read the ~12 page user manual that was in the box though, but unfortunately it doesn't say much.
1) There is no mention of "UPS" ability.
2) It does support AC charging and supply at the same time, but it only supports 1kW A/C input, which limits things.
3) Having it turned on with AC enabled uses 26.7Wh, which seems quite high (I haven't compared this to other brands, and only having DC enabled uses a lot less). Lets say you wanted to power a fridge for 36 hours, then the power station itself will use ~1kWh in that time!Here's the only good page from the manual, FYI - https://imgur.com/a/KAoLMTo

how is this on sale?
