Whatever it is it look nice & neat !

Only issue with it is that you can't keep the smaller stuff in there

What all does it power in the house?

and survives the 2hr plus loadshedding schedule?

This system powers the tv and wifi.  Working from home I connect my pc with dual screen to this as well.

 

Even during a 2 and a half hour loadshed it uses less than 50% of the battery.

 

As it is a gel battery with a 15A charger it is back to 90% before the second loadshed of the day.

 

The key parameters for me was that I want a pure sine wave for the electronics, AND fast charging so that multiple loadsheds in one day does not hurt the battery.  

 

It works so well that my wife only knows of loadshedding when she want to make coffee .... and then she has the otpion of using the kettle on the gas stove. :thumbup:

Here I'm thinking the only thing that needs powering on is the coffee machine ????

R150k surely. Anything less than R100k and I will have to get one.

naa man, coffee connoisseurs dont need a coffee machine!! time to invest in a grinder and a bialleti, pour over, aero press, french, press etc. No need for fancy automated machines man. These are my favourite over a machine and great for loadshedding. I even have a moer koffee pot/kettle. Machine for the convenience tho.

Seen teenagers here with R100k Santa Cruz Bronsons so anything is possible I guess.

Or for the price of a decent carbon wheelset a Grandad gets to make a purchase that brings him more joy than any R300k+ Lambovello. It's a special moment, just enjoy it.
