Microtek Super Power New 1100 Review: Wide-Input Sine Inverter

By Published Research-based, not tested by us

Our verdict

The Microtek Super Power New 1100 is a 950 VA pure sine wave inverter that tolerates very low and high mains voltage and often sells for less than rivals, though its display and documentation are basic.

Buy it if

  • Small towns and rural areas with very low or very high mains voltage
  • Buyers who want sine-wave output at a lower street price

Skip it if

  • You want a display that shows load and backup time
  • You want one clear model number and warranty term

What we like

  • Pure sine wave output rated 950 VA / 770 W
  • Inverter-mode input range of 80–290 V, per Microtek
  • Works with tubular, flat plate and SMF batteries
  • Microtek lists a 3-year warranty
  • Often sells well below its MRP

What we don’t

  • LED status display only; no load or voltage readout listed
  • No charging current published
  • Several model codes and warranty terms across listings

The Microtek Super Power New 1100 is for homes that want a pure sine wave inverter without paying for extras, especially in small towns where the mains voltage often drops very low or spikes high. The trade-off is polish: the display is a basic LED status panel, Microtek does not publish a charging current, and the same product appears under several model codes with different warranty terms.

How much can it run?

Microtek rates it at 950 VA and 770 W, slightly above the Luminous Zelio+ 1100’s 756 W. That is enough for ceiling fans, LED lights, a TV and a router. As with any inverter this size, heating appliances such as irons, induction cooktops or geysers are off the table. One Flipkart owner complains that their unit was actually rated 900 VA / 756 W, so check the label on the box.

Will it handle bad voltage?

This is its strongest point on paper. Microtek says the inverter accepts 80–290 V in inverter mode, meaning it keeps charging the battery from very weak or very high mains, and 180–265 V in UPS mode, where output is held steady for computers. Output is rated 230 V ±10% at 50 Hz. Protections cover overload, short circuit, deep discharge and reverse polarity.

How long will the backup last?

Microtek’s own claim is about 1.6 hours for a load that includes a 350 W mixer grinder, a chimney, a fan, a light, a TV and a router, but it does not say which battery that assumes. On a lighter fan-and-light load with a 150 Ah tubular battery, backup will be much longer. Treat the figure as a sign that mixers and chimneys drain a single battery fast.

Is it quiet?

Microtek does not publish a noise figure. Several Flipkart owners say there is no humming, which fits with pure sine wave output.

What about warranty and model codes?

Microtek’s page lists three years; some Flipkart listings show two years with on-site service. The product also appears as MTKBD11S, MTK291M1K1S and with “Advanced Digital” in the name, and those are not always the same unit. Match the waveform (pure sine wave) and the 950 VA / 770 W rating on the listing before buying. The MTKBD11S listing averages 4.3 out of 5 from about 2,250 ratings.

What we could not verify

Charging current, no-load power draw, real backup times with a named battery, and how far Microtek’s service network reaches compared with Luminous.
