I do not see an inverter as an appliance. It is a device.
When I arrive, I take a stroll. With a lighter. Light off the hot water heater, kick the tires, stretch out a hose, and dump tube, yawn, then go back inside. Refrigerator? It's 24-volt powered.
One thing I do -not- do is have malfunctions E27, Blinking X's, jammed stairs, trapezoidal slideouts, Jacks that play Jill, Transfer switches, Whiz bang automatic electricity blockers, down here with a power protection device in-line, you iz boondocking as far as electricity is concerned.
Time spent troubleshooting = 0.00000 seconds in 25 years.
Time spent scratching my *** and fumbling with a Samlex inverter the same. The A/C units cool individual rooms. So I plug into a decrepit duplex receptacle and extract 4 amps. Need to charge batteries? Twist timer on a 500 watt Meanwell charger.
Need a step? Toss down a crate. Need to level? Drive up on wedgees.
Oh I forgot, all this means I need to wash my hands. But I should do that anyway after handling the hoses.
What this chatter is about, is that "smart" has revolved 360 degrees and is biting itself in the ***
My smart repair bill last year was $0.00 How about yours? My smart diagnostic time last year was 0.00 seconds. How about you?
This is NOT CRITICISM. It is meant to serve as a sense of perspective.
As far as the Samlex inverter is concerned, I do not own a programmable inverter. I own the BORG and several Meanwell and Megawatt power supplies. I am fortunate enough to not have to bother with programmable battery chargers or inverters.
Like a country hick I watch city bred svelte smart schtickers scrawling on their smart phones desperately seeking even more apps to load and walking into a streetlamp pole.
I remain amazed...
