1.5KVA Inverter Generator 5 -6 hours endurance

G'day Marc,

Yes reason for my post, let the buyer beware!

These are Asian knock-offs based on H$$da technology!

The Aldian Cave one has a 50cc four stroke engine. This is enclosed with supposedly forced air cooling. The price is good, so I went surfing and found one that I consider more likely to endure our typical imaging loads without clapping out prematurely.

The one I mentioned would be of similar design and quality, but IMHO if you only apply light loads and change the oil reqularly it should give a reasonable service life - not Japanese service life though.

There are many outlets selling these 1.5KA and larger inverter generators. However GO bigger and the weight piles on like a Sumo.

Hopefully a parts source will find its way onto fleabay soon as every bush camper will have one.

So a 1.5KVA 18Kgs for $390 delivered you get one for our typical load that should not have to rev its guts out and will run for at least 5 hours on a tank of fuel.

I intend to put money on one.

David
