Re: Cheap(er) Inverter Generators - 1.5KA maybe 1000W

We all know the Hondas and Yamahas are quality units, last a long time; but cost lots $$.

For our occasional camping & Astro requirements these knock-offs are quiet (59Dba 7M) and getting cheaper.

This knock-off type at 18Kgs gives plenty of output and suitable endurance at our moderate loads:

At 18Kgs and 3.6L tank 1.5KVA (or realistic 1000watt constant load) specs say 4hr10mins endurance at max load. For our moderate loads a full tank should run 5 - 6 hours.

AUD390 delivered seems to be now very reasonable!

Yes this is not a Honda, so you pays your money and takes your chances.

For comparison "Aldians Cave" have a 1KVA (realistic load 600watts) 2.7L 13Kg for $349 this week
