Best Posts in Thread: Portable generator

Uses under heavy load , 2 x 2.5hp AC's and full shop load ( 3 freezers 4 fridges) about 16-20 litres for 12 hrs ( Typhoon Odette).
Low load Sunday Brownouts, No AC low shop load (3 freezers 4 fridges not being opened) about 10 litres for 12 hours.

 

It would be a very painful experience to pay so much money up front and not receive the generator. Lazada has done nothing for me when sellers cheat or fail to deliver. I followed all the rules like a fool, and was still stiffed. Lazada offered no real assistance. That is why I pay on delivery. However with such an expensive item like a generator, the seller, understandably, will not do that.

 

I'll second JWB's statement. We've had a 7.5kW Promate for 7 years, bought from Matiao's, and it's been fine, even if a little noisy (newer models are much quieter). It ran for one month continuously after Odette until we had power restored and we've only ever had to replace the AVR once.
