Lately I’ve seen 2 brownouts, and fortunately I wasn’t using the computer either time. 🤞

It will mainly be brownout/blackout duty, thanks for responding. 🙏

Mind giving a few examples for what the more sensitive equipment might be? Really appreciate you answering.

Wow, thanks so much for sharing this! It really helps to see it explained.

It sounds like the one for $109 should suffice for my situation then, right? Seeing as it’s just a desktop, essentially.

So I can easily get by with the simulated in my situation? I only plan on using it for my monitor, desktop, modem and router.

Thinking of going with the 1500, despite it costing $170 vs the other one. I do want the ability to log off in a brownout. I still don’t really get sine vs simulated myself, but I’ll trust there’s a logical reason? 🤔

Leaning towards the 1500 myself, but I don’t know much about simulated vs pure sine. The 1500 is $170 and the simulated one is $109. Which is a lot, but I don’t want to end up sorry lol. 🤔

That was sorta my question, while one’s $109 and the others $170. It’s really hard for a newb like myself to know, as I don’t know the difference lol, I live in an area of SoCal with recent brownout’s. So I’m looking for protection. 🤔 Not sure if Simulated will be enough or I’ll be sorely disappointed I didn’t go pure.

Would I be asking to much if I asked to hear more of these ideas? lol Over the decades, I thought of dozens per an episode of Star Trek that ended up forgotten and would love to hear more like these.

It’s a little like the sociopath hospital boards, having more billing staff than doctors and nurses. Making a massive mistake for quick profit and leaving it for the next guy to cleanup lawsuits. A little like robocall centers, okay with fleecing the poor as long as they only have to pay roughly 20% in damages, close shop and create a new call center all over again and rinse and repeat.

I suppose I should’ve phrased it as, compensating. Seeing as they are still being sold.

You’re probably right, the generation 13&14 will be riddled with lawsuits.

I would assume by now the cost is easily double this
