Hyundai HY3200SEi 3200W Inverter Generator review
Caravanners and homes wanting clean inverter power with easy electric/remote start for occasional backup.
By Tom Rowland · Updated 20 July 2026 · Price checked against our tracker
A well-specified, keenly priced 3.2kW inverter generator that delivers clean pure sine-wave power for sensitive electronics, with a closed case, wheel kit and remote key-fob start. Sensible value for occasional outage cover or off-grid use, though it is a petrol machine that must be run and refuelled safely outdoors.
Approximate typical UK street price as of Jul 2026, from official Hyundai Power Equipment UK (£779.99 inc VAT) and PriceSpy UK best deals (~£730); a sensible mid-point of ~£750. Widely stocked by UK power-tool and caravan retailers.

- Pure sine-wave output safe for laptops, TVs and other sensitive electronics
- Genuinely convenient to live with: electric and remote key-fob start, closed casing and built-in wheels
- 3.2kW peak / 2.8kW continuous covers fridge-freezer, lights, router and small appliances in an outage
- Petrol-only (base model) means storing fuel and refuelling roughly every 6 hours at half load during a long outage
- At around 35kg and 54-59 dBA it is heavier and more audible than a battery power station, and not silent
