Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Generators
I purchased this generator to charge batteries for my solar setup. For a gen-set of this size and output, it generates more power than I actually really need. The low noise and minimal fuel use is as well a bonus as it just idles away with very little load on it. Perfect Item for rural areas.

Started OK, plugged in a 2000w kettle and immediately tripped out on overload. Tried this a few times and tripped out each time. Tried a 4 slice toaster, 2 x 900w, with 2 slices (900w) ran OK, with 4 slices(1800w) immediately tripped out. Tried several times, same result. I suspect the true output of this generator is about 1700w based on my tests. Way below the rated output of 2700/2500w. The Generator was also a lot noisier than I expected, I suspect the noise specifications are also dodgy. The more I buy Chinese stuff the more I realize that their specifications are not to be believed and the quality & reliability is also substandard, you get what you pay for, if it looks too good to be true it probably is. I contacted Edisons, they immediately accepted and payed for the return of the Generator and also refunded my money. It was obviously an extreme nuisance to have to drain the fuel and oil out of the generator and then re-package it up and get it down to the post office. I was also a bit surprised that Edisons accepted the return without and discussion, I suspect they know that these Generators don't live up to their over inflated ratings, most people would not discover this until it's too late.

I live in an off-grid community and use this generator regularly to back up my solar battery system during rainy periods and to run power tools the generator starts easily and runs well. Had an issue with it recently stopping or running rough then changed the spark plug and all was good again a little noisier than I had expected

Ok - like all cheap gen sets - didn’t expect miracles- but was happy enough with operation. Overall appearance & fitting of panels - better then expected - looked a tidy unit. Decals - not brilliant - had to write on plastic with Nikko pen as decals look like they will flake off in time - choke decal wrong way round (choke on is off/cold start is run). Performance - doesn’t like heating coils - electric jug & high setting small heater produce overload shutdown - this may improve as motor is “run in” overtime. Ran Heron 2.0 caravan aircon until fuel ran out(this is what I bought it to run) - appears to use the listed 1 ltr an hour under load. Also ran 1500w hand saw & 650w drill at same time without issue. Bit of a “burnt plastic” smell after running for nearly 3 hours - but again - I think this is a “running in” issue & will disappear in time. Unit weight as stated appears about right. Spark plug easy to get to compared to some. Noise level actually pretty good - had gen set virtually next to front of van & it wasn’t annoyingly noisy even running aircon. Mate nearby said it sounded pretty good - both level & engine consistency wise. Little tool kit has what is needed to maintain unit (except oil of course). Side panel easy to remove & bits inside easy to access for further maintenance. Like the fuel filter accessible as it is. My only real criticism is that it’s an auto eco throttle - I would like the option of being able to switch from eco to full throttle & I think that would fix issue with heating elements like kettle & Heater. Overall happy at present - run smoothly. Will be interested to see it’s longevity over time. Would recommend but don’t expect it to be a Yammy or a Honda - it’s not. Cheers. Read full review

Light enough to place into the boot of a car yet with enough output to run 9" angle grinder plus a Varity of power tools and battery chargers. Very good fuel use. Runs very quiet and case does not heat up at all.
