HARNESSING THE FUTURE OF POWER: RYOBI'S PURE SINE WAVE INVERTERS UNLEASHED

Home is where the heart is – and, increasingly, the home is where many a microchip resides. The high-pitched dial of a refrigerator, the deeper hum of your computer, and the constant soft whir of appliances that make your home a dream to live in – these are the sounds that keep our home buzzing. But when the lights dim, what do we do? This is where Ryobi’s pure sine wave inverters come in. If you want to know how the power keeps you buzzing, then continue reading.

UNDERSTANDING THE CORE: PURE SINE VS. MODIFIED SINE INVERTERS

Every choice that we make has an underlying decision and, when it comes to choosing an inverter for your house, deciding between a pure sine wave and a modified sine inverter might be more important than you think. Pure sine wave inverters are the unsung heroes of the grid tie world. You probably don’t even know their existence, but the power they provide to your house is as smooth and regulated as the power coming from your nearest utility provider. This makes them perfect for powering sensitive electronics. You don’t want your laptop or smartphone to act up just because you have gone off grid, do you?

Meanwhile, modified sine wave inverters produce a jagged, blocky output, the workaday cousins to pure sine wave – suitable for less sensitive equipment, like old cathode-ray tube TVs and toasters. You can save money buying modified sine wave inverters, but the smoother current of a pure sine wave inverter will save your gear.

PORTABLE POWER FOR EVERY HOME: 40V 300-WATT POWER SOURCE

When you’re on the go, most electronics require portable power. The Ryobi 40V 300-Watt Power Source provides that by energizing your smaller devices. It also has three outlet sources to keep your electronics powered up. The Ryobi’s functionality is also outside the home, whether you’re camping or encounter a power outage, so you have power whenever you need it.

But, even given the device’s power, its price tag of $99 — not counting batteries — tells you that this technology, pure sine wave as it may be, is high-end. Its positive reviews and its 4.6-star rating, however, tells you it’s also decent value.

THE POWERHOUSE OF HOME: ONE+ 1800-WATT POWER STATION

Taking the game up a notch, the Ryobi ONE+ 1800-Watt Power Station is a powerhouse. It has enough juice to run whatever you want from basic appliances in your home to power-hungry tools. It has 3,000 starting watts and 1,800 running watts.

It is by no means dumb: it is an LCD screen that gives you feedback, so you know how much battery juice you have left, and how much load is on the lift. It costs $649, including installation, but without batteries. Of course, you can get a further power boost from plugging in solar panels – which an eco-aware homeowner would be expected to possess anyway.

THE ULTIMATE JOB SITE COMPANION: 40V 1800-WATT POWER STATION

Try the Ryobi 40V 1800-Watt Power Station, which, with a committed stature, has been engineered with unwavering reliability for job sites and critical-backup home needs. Boasting versatility and high-powered energy, the inverter possesses vitality, outputting 40 volts with the ability to start two devices simultaneously, while powering multiple units all at once. Priced at $849, Ryobi’s ‘portable job-site power’ – with two batteries included – is engineered to keep your devices and tools fully powered.

EXPLORING THE ESSENCE OF HOME

It is home. It is where you make your memories. And in a connected world that means it must have the juice. Ryobi’s range of pure sine wave inverters will have you covered there.

Whether it is the virtually silent operation of the 40V 300-Watt Power Source or the heavy hitting punch of the 1800-Watt Power Stations, Ryobi’s engineers give homeowners the tools to break through the monotony so that our lives – and by extension, our homes – never have to be in the dark. In the song of light and power, Ryobi’s inverters harmonise the part that keeps our homes in light, on-line and vividly alive.
