Review
Performance & Efficiency:
The energy savings have been independently verified by EnergyAE under the AS/NZS 4234:2021 standard — as 68% savings in Auckland and 64% in Dunedin.
The lower input power (0.67kW) makes it particularly solar-friendly but will impact durability in a high usage household.
