How we assign awards →The differences that matter
- 300 W vs 600 W continuous, 600 W vs 1500 W peak → the first runs a few small devices; the second takes more at once and leaves headroom for loads that draw more at switch-on.
- 45 dB vs 30 dB → the first is audible in a quiet room, the second much less so.
- Maximum charging 0.27 vs 0.38 kW → the second refills faster from the wall.
- Switch to battery in 20 ms vs 10 ms → when the mains drops, the second takes half the time.
