If you require power assist, parallel connection, three-phase output functions, or any other enhanced combi features, then this inverter is not for you. If you're not familiar with these things, this ProCombi is perfect for you.
Modern combis are getting more and more complex, with each company trying to outdo the next with abilities beyond the understanding and requirements of most people. This detracts from the combis' main strength of being easy to install and use. There is, no doubt, a market for all the additional functions, but the vast majority of combi users simply do not need them and never will. Most people simply require the unit to act as a high-performance constant current battery charger when on mains power, then crossover to act as an efficient inverter when on battery – and that's it!
The problem with enhanced functions is that even if they are not used, they consume valuable power. The more functions a product has running, even though you do not use them, the higher the quiescent current on the inverter. Complex combis at 12V can use as much as 9.5 amps, whereas the ProCombi can use as little as 2 amps.
Sterling has reversed this trend with the ProCombi range by stripping away unnecessary features from a complex combi, not only saving money but also lowering the critical quiescent current draw. The end result is a simple, straightforward product that does what you think it should. Using our years of experience in this market, we have tailored the product range to suit 90% of people purchasing combis.
We have also added what we see as important features to this range that even the expensive combis do not have, such as the ability to charge totally flat batteries and allow through power with no batteries connected.

There are 2 main models: the ProCombi Q (quasi-sine wave) and the ProCombi S (pure-sine wave). So the simple question is: what best suits your needs?
ProCombi Q (quasi-sine wave model) is suitable for most installations, where you would use a microwave, fridge, hair dryer, vacuum cleaner, kettle, computer, etc. The vast majority of products will run on quasi-sine wave.
ProCombi S (pure sine wave model) is required for running equipment like washing machines, bread makers, and thyristor-controlled devices. To make the choice even simpler, we offer a 6-month exchange/upgrade policy.
If you purchase a ProCombi Q and find there is equipment you cannot run due to the Quasi-Sine Wave, Sterling Power is happy to upgrade your unit for a Pure Sine Wave model. The only cost will be the difference between the two products and shipping fees.
