Great product Review by Angie

I purchased this generator as my neighbour has had one and has had nothing but good to say of his. I am very happy with mine too. The only issue is it is a bit heavy to move around but as I added the wheel assembly to my purchase it is possible to move it when need be. And hopefully, that won't be too often.Easy to start and runs, touch wood, without a hitch. Thank you

Great unit runs the welder and grinder no worries Review by Barry Spillman

Bought this unit for farm use it is a 2 man lift to put it in the Toyota but from then on you cannot fault the performance. Great bit of kit.

RELIABLE/ROBUST GENERATOR Review by June Campbell

I use this generator as back up for when I have power cuts. I would assume it would also work well in an off grid setting, but have no personal experience on that. When you are on tank water, you need a generator to run the water pump, or you don't have water to the house. This generator runs 2 fridges, a freezer, lights, stove, kettle, water pump all at the same time, seemingly with ease. The only complaint I have is that I think it should come with wheels as standard. I didn't realise until afterwards that I needed to have ordered a wheel kit with it. In my opinion, something this heavy needs to be on wheels, and if I were to order again, would definitely have ordered one with wheels.

Great Service Great Machine Review by Warren Bolton

The product was received in a remarkably short time given our location and in excellent condition. Once oiled and fuel and connected to the meter box, with just one pull of cord our total household electrical equipment was operating as if on mains power- The reason why we purchase this generator.

Good tradesman grade generator. Review by Ed Nixon

Bought as a farm generator to run a 160 amp welder and 3hp air compressor, does both with ease. Good quality Honda motor and solid generator. We've mounted it to a work trailer, and it's going just fine. recommend for anyone needing offsite power. Tank lasts 4.5hrs, less when under load. I opted for the electric start too. Just makes life easier.

Speedy delivery, great product Review by Stephan Ruckher

The generator arrived quickly after dispatch and had no problems with start up. Despite being 400cc engine the recoil start works first pull every time. So far only light loads running until the electrician installs switch over for house and workshop. The unit looks like a quality product.

A great Generator Review by Steve Hodder

I bought this product for the sole purpose of running a 170 amp BOC inverter welder out on my job sites. This generator has plenty of grunt and I'm extremely happy with the way it performs.

Great generator, great customer service. Review by Liz Franzmann

We bought the gennie to start building our Tiny House in our neighbours unpowered paddock. Has meant we've been able to charge drills, power saws and all the tools we've needed along the way. We're looking forward to having it as our back up offgrid energy source when we move in!
