Abeg make una help me out here.

I don't think you can get an original gen of that size anymore unless maybe used ones.

Torg77:
hi sir. I want to buy a 6.5kva generator. Please tell me a good brand to buy and where to buy so that I buy original please

Firman or Thermocool. Buy firman from accredited dealers or from Firman flagship stores and Thermocool from Thermocool showrooms only.

Habiodunz:
Gptech what could be the reason why my engine oil is leaking please,, turned it on yesterday night only to come back and see that 80% have poured on the floor

Get a technician to check it. Hopefully should be seal related.

damosade:
Good day prof,
Can 1.8kva gen carry 2hp pumping machine?

Thank you

Don't even bother to use a 3.5kva generator for this purpose.

dansito:

Captech

What's the wattage of the pressing iron? Should be looking at generators of 3000W up.

MistaMann:
After like 30min to 1 hour running my gen would go off. It would start by becoming loud and it is like the speed also increases, this happens like 3-7 before the gen goes off.

When I noticed the second that the gen would go off, I off my TV, the Gen wouldn't go off again. sound would go back to normal within seconds, then I on the TV back. Within 5 or so minutes it would start again most likely this time around would go off even after taking the load down.

And if I turn it off voluntarily it doesn't stop the way it is supposed to. Normally it rolls but comes to a stop gradually. In my case it just stop. And some times it behaves like there is no fuel then after some while it stop.

I took it to a mechanic, he said the sound is normal and gen is okay. That It is the pistil that doesn't allow engine oil to go around it. This has been happening the last 4 times I tried using it.

Can you tell what could be the problem please, maybe the mechanic doesn't know the problem.

Gptech
The gen is "I pass my neighbor" there is enough engine oil mix.

Go with what the mechanic told you.

honsule:
The information is misleading jor. My poco m3 is an exception to the general rule. And I like the phone 128gb rom, no need of SD CARD

Its not misleading, it's better to avoid those phones for now, you are among the lucky ones for now.

Brutee:
Is there no special settings I can use on it?

Its not settings, the repairer messed up with the hardware. Take it back to him as suggested, should be antenna issue.

dansito:
Tats nt wat I want.I m particular about d noise.d one u were talking about sound proof n inverter generator,v nt heard of tat before,pls can u enlighten me more about tat.what is d cost implication n hw good n efficient r they.thanks.

Sound proof generators in Nigeria are usually diesel generators, I believe you know a little about diesel generators. Inverter generators are not sold here in Nigeria. They can cost thrice the amount of equivalent normal generators, that's not including shipping cost if you intend to bring one down here.

Kindleade:
Bosses I bought a new Sumec Firman SPG 1800 last month and it consumes alot of fuel, like 5litres of fuel only lasts for 3hours, how can I adjust the fuel consumption please.

If it's not too late return it. I am sure it's original.

dansito:
Thanks buddy,but is it not possible to get d one with very less noise cos of my neighbours.there should b of tat magnitude.

Don't know what you mean by very less noise. So long the gen is not sound proof and it's not an inverter generator, it will be louder than almost all smaller generators around.

womenareapess:
Is Redmi note 10 lite a good phone! Thinking of buying it?

Not bad, what's your priority in a phone?

dansito:
Gudday,pls wat capacity of generator can I buy,best product n less fuel consumption tat will power a 43lm63 smart TV inches,double deggar refrigerator,two ceiling fan,a standing fan,a 2.5 inches TV,a laptop,washing machine,a 2 .h.p ac,and a pressing iron,n at wat price can I get it,I also need a silent one tat does nt make noise.where can I get it.shuld I go for a thermacool or a sumec,which is best amongst them..I need ur sincere advise pls.thanks
Gptech

A generator with around 5KW or 6Kva should do. Should be in the region 300-400k. Any of Thermocool or Sumec is good and big generators like are not silent.

Paul6P5:
Hello Engineer GP,

I would like to buy a Sumec Rugged 3910EX.

How much will it cost and what's the fuel consumption and quality ?

Cons/Pros ?

Thanks, I patiently await your reply.

Generator is similar to the SPG 3000E2 in fuel consumption. They have similar engine. I think the Rugged has a more turns on its coils because it's slightly more powerful than the spg3000. My neighbour uses it, just try and get the original fakes everywhere.

Skinnygee1:
It's not steam, I just checked and it's 1100w

It will work fine.

Skinnygee1:
Thanks,fortunately the battery worked and can I use iron on it?the iron is small size and everything will be off,gen is sumec firman 3000

It should work, hope it's not steam iron. It's good habit to check the power of appliances before using them on generators.

Unknown31:
no

I see, the noise is normal, try to get it away from your living room.

Opistorincos:
Good evening boss Gptech and other elites in the house. A friend whose dad sells engine oil said he's been using what he termed "light oil" since 2 years ago and his gen is working perfectly fine. How true is his claim that road side engine oil is the same quality with factory made engine oil?

Avoid road side oil. Did he tell you the weight of the oil he uses? That he has been using it for 2 years means nothing for now.

Unknown31:
I just bought it.

Have you used similar sized generators before?

kavey10:
My people, I just buy Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro for yesterday at Slot Benin. The phone no dey allow Microsoft apps like Teams and Outlook work on am. I went back for exchange. Dem say na 70k be the worth now. Phone wey I buy yesterday at 149k. I just dey craze for here. Abeg na so Xiaomi useless be this?

Will you sell for 120k? People here will buy without blinking for that amount.
Don't mind me, but you should know that that slot guys are trying to take advantage of you. You may try using another network, Hotspot or a VPN to try connect.

Unknown31:
How can I reduce the noise level of Haier Thermocool 10KVA Generator with Remote Control | ULT 12000RS 10kva/8kw

Big gen, big noise. I don't think you can do anything about it except you mean the noise has increased from how it used.

VillageHustle:
I don't usually on daily, on a average of 5/7 days for 4-5 hrs and I change the oil whenever I see it's turning black. It has modified tyres (you can see from the pics) so I don't know if I need a "used car tyre" for putting the generator on instead of directly on the tiles.

What's the proper oil usage too. Thanks for your reply

Change after running for 60-70 hours. If you run 5 hours for 7 days constantly, it means you should be changing oil every 2 weeks.

XPaul:
Thank you. That means, if it is different type of iron, a bigger generator is needed

Yes.

oilmonie:
Please assist, my Gen is not starting. Have changed the oil

Have you cleaned the spark plug? You may even need to replace it.

XPaul:
Please I want to ask, can a 3.5kva generator power a pressing iron and a 12kg manual washing machine at different times

Use only dry Iron with less than 1000W. Generator will power the washing machine too. You may not use both equipment simultaneously.

VillageHustle:
I bought this gen in April but I usually power it daily so I want to ask that apart from regular change of oil, do I need to call an engineer for servicing? I also notice that the noise is getting louder

How many hours do you power daily on the average and how often do you change oil?

Habiodunz:
how do I do that please

You can check YouTube for videos.

Habiodunz:
My generator started vibrating this night
and can't use it because I don't have something to support it
it happens whenever the wire that brings light into the house is connected to the gen
what's the likely cause please

Check the running speed, it's probably too low.

I bought a sumec Rugged Generator for 157k.
2600-3100 wats

Good generator provided you got the original.

twaintoy:
What about mixing with the same brand?

Dru23 is very correct, do it only in emergencies and drain out then replace after emergency is over. Mixing new and used oil is like using dead dry batteries with new ones.

jahson19:
Make ona answer me na beg I dy

If you can get one with a good battery, it's a great buy! Just ensure no part has been replaced and it's of course not a stolen phone.

Opistorincos:
Which 2.5kva gen would you recommend boss

Anyone from Sumec or Thermocool. Sumec SPG 2500 or ECO 2990.Thermocool TEC Bobo or Tec captain in no particular order.
