Product Q&A

• What is the difference between the AVR and inverter MaxWatt generators?

  1. Inverter generators produce pure sine wave electricity, making them a safer option for smaller electronics, such as mobile phone, and laptop chargers.

  2. Conventional generators are able to produce more power, and are cheaper. The inverter models also are lighter and easier to carry around. The MaxWatt inverter generators are also quieter than the AVR generators, which can be good for home backup, as well as some businesses.

• What warranty does the MaxWatt generator come with?

  All MaxWatt generators come with a 2 year warranty or 500 running hours whichever comes first.

  However, if you are using it commercially, it is 300 running hours or 2 years.

• How do I maintain the life of my generator?

  Firstly, as a safety note, always stop the engine and let the generator cool down before starting any maintenance work. The five main general tips are;

  1. Replace engine oil
  2. Check spark plug, replace if necessary
  3. Check fuel level and ensure it is fresh fuel (fuel left for a long time can go "off")
  4. Check air filter, replace if necessary
  5. Clean muffler cover and check spark arrestor

  For further maintenance help, you should take your generator to a small engine specialist or an accredited generator service technician.

• Will this generator fit my slide out tray?

  Good question!

  All the MaxWatt Generators are similar in size to the other leading generators in the market. This means that it shouldn’t be an issue to fit a MaxWatt into your caravan storage space.

  However, we do recommend measuring the space and checking the dimensions of the specific model prior to purchase.

• Can this generator run my air conditioner?

  Great question!

  When buying a generator to run anything in your caravan or motorhome, it is important that you first know what air conditioner you are using.

  You will need to know the specifications of the air conditioner to ensure you know the running power and starting power requirements. When you know the specifications of the air conditioner, you're able to check if the generator is strong enough to use.

• Are these generators hard to move?

  The larger models have wheels and handles, while the smaller units have a lifting handle, for ease of moving. This ensures that no matter what size you get, the MaxWatt generators are easy to maneuver.

• What fuel do I use with this generator?

  The MaxWatt generators are all suitable for a standard grade unleaded fuel, including regular, premium and ultra premium. There is no need to add any oil to the fuel, as they are fuel efficient.

• Are MaxWatt generators reliable?

  Yep, they sure are! MaxWatt are a family owned and operated business that was established in Brisbane in 2017. These units are a budget, but reliable option for an inverter generator. Compared to other models in the same price range, the MaxWatt come with a 2 years manufacturer warranty.

• Are the MaxWatt generators built to Australian standards?

  Yes, these generators are manufactured specifically for the Australian market, and are therefore compliant. They are all 4-stroke petrol engines with overhead valves that comply with Australian standards.

• Is the MX8500SD water cooled or air cooled?
