Generator Power

The generator, which was discovered by Michael Faraday, is an ingenious device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Road Warrior

Hi all

Got the latest Bunnings catalogue in the junk mail today. In it is a 2000W Stanley inverter generator for $897. 4 stroke. Page 8 for the Sandgropers if you've got this catalogue.

I didn't know Stanley had gotten in on the generator act as well. Anyone know anything about them, any good or is it a case of "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is"

I would say it would be the same as the one I brought on E.Bay two years ago for $400 and is still going strong, all the Honda and Yamaha owns will tell you there crap. Only time will tell if mine is as good, but at 1/5 price and yes I do run expensive computers off it.

Recently I bought a 'van which came with an reverse cycle aircon and was told that a Honda EU20i would run it but just to be sure I emailed the manufacturer. No, was the reply you'll need a 3Kva gennie so my question is how reliable are some of the cheaper ones you see on ebay like the blue ones , name starts with K ???

Rob, I would not hesitate in buying another, I am actually going to buy a 1 KVA soon as I do not need a 2KVA. If you want any more info give me a call numbers in the Sell Call list.

Appears no one knows much about them Road Warrior.

I walked past a bunch of them on weekend and looked over the box - there was no mention of it being a sine wave which one would expect if it was.
Its box made reference to a " digital Generator"

I assume its not quite the real thing like .

Also the weight was rather high at 28kgs and noise output spec didn't look as good.

I found no info in a quick search , so we will have to wait for someone with better data but as for now it looks like it is not a Honda equivalent at a much reduced price.
