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.

Yeah I'm the same - haven't been able to locate any
information at all from a search of the web. Will keep digging.
