Customer Reviews

Good value but could easily have been designed bet Review by Peter Thompson

This generator seems to have very good build quality but a few little issues could have been designed better with no additional cost: 1. The ON-OFF switch is on the opposite side to the side from which the start cord is operated. Also when the machine is running, with the exhaust pointing towards the open side of the shed, the operator has to lean across the exhaust to switch the machine off. 2. The electrical wiring connecting the ON-OFF switch to the engine is quite exposed and is therefore subject to damage. The wires should be better protected. 3. The unit should be located in its frame such that there is less likelihood of hand bruising when operating the start pull cord. As it is, the frame tubing restricts easy operation of the cord unless it is pulled at an angle that reduces efficiency for the operator.

8kVA Unit Review by Lauire Colledge

Very good service and Machine.

Excellent product and service Review by Rusty Tully

This is the third Genelite Honda Generator we have purchased over 6 years. We live remote, on an island, and run our gennie for about 7 hours a day to keep the fridges going and to provide general power for lights, tools and machinery. The Genelite is a little work-horse - very reliable, easy to use and maintain. My wife can use the pull-start easily when necessary, and the unit itself is small enough for us to bring to our island in our 6m boat. Very satisfied.

Product Q&A

Ask Us a Question

Can this generator run a welder?

Hi John, an 8kVA conventional generator like this model is a good size to run a standard stick welder up to around 180amp.

When you start going above that in terms of welder sizing, you may need a bigger generator. We always recommend that you contact the manufacturer of your welder (e.g. Unimig, Cigweld etc.) and ask their advice on what size generator they would advise for your particular make and model of welder. In our experience, the technical departments of the leading welding manufacturers are very helpful in advising the best generator size for their welder models.

Many thanks.
What is the power output wave form? Pure sine wave, modified sine wave?

Hi Jeff, this is a conventional generator using a brushless alternator that produces a power output with harmonic distortion of +/- 5%.

A conventional generator is designed to run appliances with resistive and heavy loads, e.g. power tools, farming equipment, domestic applainces without microprocessors. Conventional generators can handle 'overloading' for short periods, where an appliance will surge (usually when starting up) briefly. However, conventional generators are not intended to run sensitive electronic equipment (e.g. TV's, laptops, mobile phones etc.). Conventional generators are built tough and are popular for trade, construction, farming, industrial use, plus certain domestic requirements.

The type of generator that produces pure sine wave output is an inverter generator. An inverter generator can run sensitive electronic equipment. Note that Inverter generators cannot handle large 'overloading' that conventional generators can. Too much overload on an inverter generator will cause the generator 'trip the breaker' and stop producing power. These inverter generators are quiet, fuel efficient and are designed for recreational use, small home backup, DIY tasks, small mobile business and small events.

Finally, its worth mentioning AVR Generators. This type of generator has an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) fitted, so they reduce large voltage fluctuations that can potentially damage appliances. These types of generators are commonly used for Domestic backup applications and small business backup requirements.
Can I use this generator to charge my power tool batteries?

Hi there,

Charging battery packs is fine from a conventional generator, we'd recommend having a steady load on the generator and don't connect appliances that will cause the load to jump around during charging.

Thanks.
