Invertet generators

That is uncanny - I was just reading about them about 10 seconds ago.... I haven't had any experience with them but in the new Heatley catalogue they have the 2200W version - 65dB @7m, 27kg and $1569.37 inc GST

I read your post and did a quick search of the AU web - seems to be a bit of controversy surrounding them, part of where they are manufactured and its clear they are not a product of Hyundai motors. There is no real way to tell what is factual, accurate information and otherwise. I wonder if they are a bit new to have real information about them? Maybe one way to look at it is how reliable does it have to be and how much will it be used - if yes and a lot go for the established honda/yamaha brands, if no/not much then take this or say the kipor, it doesn't really matter. Note that if it will be used a bit, backup/spares is VIP - see the postings on this for these alternative brands.

Cummins and Robin/Subaru also make inverter generators...

. . . and Bunnings now sell the Kipor 1kVA Inverter Generator - a nationwide warranty with lots of stores.

Mine has never missed a beat - great for running the fridge during blackouts.

I have had experience with the Hyundai's they seem to be generally ok. If I had to pick an inverter generator it would definitely be a Yamaha. I have one and have never had a problem. Honda is good and so is Subaru. Kipors are decent but never used one. I usually have a look online in stores like the one below for generators.
