If you had seen a HUMMER in reality , you will be completely spell bound by its mean looks and street presence.Thats what whirlpool digital invertor is .A gadget worth investing for in these indian summer conditions where power grids trip and electricity is a luxury.Even when our PM is on a inaguration function somewhere in rural outback electricity supply is still erractic.Moreover even in a day/night cricket matches it has been seen that out infrastructure is very pathetic in terms of basic necessity such as electricity.
Hence, I decided to get over this problem once and for all.Bought a digital inverter and replaced my old analog one which had given good service for 5 long years.Let me throw some light over this nice piece of instrument which I think every household should have.
Built:-Whirlpool has been known as a maker of good & durable home electronics goods.It has a good market share in washing machine but in invertors it is still a small player.The body of the invertor is very solid & durable.Buttons are well placer & highlighted with LED lights.Touch feel of the button is also very good and they are responsive to single touch.
Size:-Its a very compact machine with a dimension of about a shoe box.Weighs around 5 kgs & looks great on invertor shelf.Dosent occupy that much space as compared to an analog invertor .
Functions:-It performs all the functions upto the mark and shows indication of full battery as well as low/charging battery.Always its online & when light goes off it starts within a sec.No lag at all.600VA is the power capacity and one can run 2 fans/3 tubelights for a period of 6-8 hours non stop if the battery is fully charged up.
Warranty:- It is covered for atleast 2 years under the warranty for any kind of defect in manufacturing.
Avalibility:-All authorised whirlpool dealers across the country sell invertors.Care should be taken to purchase invertor specific batteries as these are specifically built for the same.
User experience till date:- Purchase was made in june 2009 & till date it is working without any kind of trouble.Not even once it has tripped.
Special care:- Inverotrs dissipate a lot of heat into the enviroment and care has to be taken that the place where it is kept is well ventilated.Regular cleaning with a soft cloth is required to avoid settling down of the dust over the invertor body & insulation should be done so as to avoid static electricity to be build up in the dust.
Verdict:- Although you may find all kind of advertisments in media of MICROTEK/LUMINOUS.But I hadnt seen an advertisment of whirlpool invertors in media/newspaper till date .Because they know what kinda of product they have to challenge the big players.I would strongly recommend this home appliance to all my readers who are yet to feel the real challenge of indian summers.
Thankyou.
