Caravanners and homes wanting clean inverter power with easy electric/remote start for occasional backup.

We no longer recommend this model, so it no longer appears in our buying guides. In its place, we now recommend Hyundai HY3250SEi 3200W Inverter Generator in our Generators guide.
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.

- 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
Who shouldn't buy this
Don't buy this if you only need to keep phones, a router and a few lights going, or if you have nowhere to run it safely outdoors, a battery power station is silent, indoor-safe and carries no carbon-monoxide risk. A petrol generator must never be run in a garage, porch or indoors.
