Since u said that the pumping machine will stress the 2.5kva Tec Bobo, what do u advice?

Get something bigger like the 3.75kva Major.

Obton:
Alright, thanks a lot. Btw, might sound weird but what do y'all think about buying a gen through AliExpress?

Not worth it! The shipping fee alone will cost more than the generator and many of the generators sold there are generic.

samoy:
Pls, will Tec Bobo 2.5kva carry 1hp pumping machine, chest freezer, 2 ceiling fans, 2tvs
Thanks

You don't have to turn everything on at the same time. That pump will stress the gen sha.

Obton:
Hello house. Apologies for the length of this. I'm a student with the following appliances:

Home theatre system
Infinix 32'' Inch TV
Small tabletop fridge
One ceiling fan
One standing fan
One PS4 Console
Laptop
Phone/power bank

So I came across an Elepaq constant with 1.3kw rated output. (Picture shown below). It seems from checks online it's equivalent to 1.2kv rated; don't really get the discrepancy since 1.3kw should be equal to 1.6KVA?

So question is, would this be able to power my stuffs without hiccups? Everything won't be on at the same time tho (Like the PS4 and fridge would never be turned on at the same time). I don't even think I'd need it for the fridge since we do have relatively regular power supply. Just need the gen in case of periods of prolonged outages and for my laptop to be constantly charged.

I don't really trust the Elepaq I'm intending to get though given complaints I've read on this thread about brand new Elepaqs becoming faulty within a few days and the price is much more less than Jumia/Konga. (~68k as opposed to ~74-89k online)

I'd have just shelled out some extra cash for the Thermocool TEC junior but there's no reliable Thermocool licensed dealer around (nearest one's in Benin) and getting it from there and shipping down to Ekpoma would be a lot of stress + added costs.

So, should I just bear go through the stress of getting it or would the Elepaq be a reliable alternative?

How about the Senwei 1.8KVA manual starter?

Or is there any other better alternative in the 1.2-2KVA range?

Go through the stress and get the Junior. Better to be stressed now just once than to be continuously stressed with time.

fineboynl:
look like you bought a used generator. It has a serious problem.

Your post just made me see it, it's a used generator.

I bought it myself uncle.

Did you connect your email to your Mi account? If you did, you should be able to reset your password from there. Is there no way to retrieve the lost sim? It's better to use email for Mi account instead of phone number.

laidenews:
I actually did move it a little bit farther from where it was initially. The noise just stopped now. Thank you so much. I was so scared initially.

Ok, na to dey observe am.

Wizdeen:
Hi GPtech, hi everybody

I managed to get my hands on an old Thermocool BoboMax 2kva

This thing has top fuel efficiency, 3 litres of fuel lasts at least 6 hours for me

But it consumes a lot of oil, I topped it up and let it run for ~8 hours, but it then tripped the automatic shut off. Checking the oil levels told me that it did drop below the recommended amount. I topped it up again, ran another 8 hours and got the same result.

There isn't a leak. This engine seems to just be eating oil

Is this regular operating procedure for these things? Is it going to guzzle oil like this every 8 hours or so, or do I have a larger problem on my hands/need to fix something?

Thanks!

There's an issue somewhere, you are not supposed to be topping oil like that. When did you buy it? If it's still under warranty, take it to their service center closest to you.

Ebubemg:
Guys from this 4 generator brands which will u recommend
Elepaq constant
Sumec Firman
Hair thermocool
Maxi

Sumec and Thermocool.

laidenews:
Good Morning Gptech. My generator now make a sound like there's a ring inside. It started today and i don't know if that may cause an issue to it, it's stilll On now though. Should i be concerned? I've checked the oil level and it's still full. I don't want to call a technician to work on it as i read here that there should not be any tweaking. I'm worried please.

Is the sound distorted? Did you change the position of the gen? It's possible that's how it sounds, changing the position of a generator affects the noise you hear.

ps3o:
Thanks!
I've gotten the device. Got the mi 11 ultra 12gb ram 512gb ROM

Uwc, enjoy your device.

samoy:
Pls, can this Sumec gen RD2910 carry 1hp pumping machine, fridge, 2 ceiling fan and tv. Thanks

It should.

graciousolo:
You are on point. I have been skeptical about buying a gen one.

Thank you.
.

The ACs are not inverter. 1hp.

Where do you suggest I buy a gen and what type do you suggest?

Also, what's the price range for 3.5kva if that's the power you suggest.


Thank you.

Will recommend only Thermocool and Sumec Firman. You can get Thermocool only from their stores and Firman from Firman flagship stores or accredited sellers, don't just buy from any store, fakes are much more than the originals nowadays. Your budget should be at least 170k to get something that will fit in.

Tolu181:
The below one na scam, you dey here dey talk of colour, e be like you follow for the scam.

You sounded so certain .

graciousolo:
Gptech and other skilled people. I need help a with deciding what gen to buy.

I will post the ones I am looking at please help me with your opinion on the rest.

1. Will a 3.5kva carry my AC (at least 1), a tall fridge, washing machine, TV and other stuff like kettle, microwave, blender, iron (when I need them) and charge inverter?


2. I want copper coils only. Aside from their descriptions there is no way to tell which is copper or not.

Lutian particularly looks really cheap compared to others like thermocool and firman. These are the products I'm looking at though. Please your suggestions.

First, what's the power of your AC? is the AC inverter type or the regular one?
Secondly, I can't recommended Lutian, don't think the ones available now are even as good as the old ones.
Thirdly, generators are not cheap anymore, I know it's not easy but you can't put cheap and original copper in one sentence.
Lastly, never buy a generator online.
Modified : The last pics of the Firman generator for 200k is one reason you should be weary of buying online. That generator is 3.1KVA rated, 3.5KVA surge, but the seller is advertising it as 4.5KVA.

Rex123:
Hello house, I have a 2.5 kva sumec fireman generator. It was purchased sometime this here. I topped the oil this evening and put it on. It worked for two minutes and I noticed it was smoking black then go off I tried again sme result. Please what could be the issue and how to fix

Why did you top the oil? Was the oil level reduced?

Sunkyphil:
i never knew some redmi would get a12 I tot it would stop at 11 especially those on now

As the article says, the list is unofficial, it's best to take it as a pinch of salt.

DoggoneDogg:
Okay.

Are the remote start series available in Nigeria?? And around how much can I get the cheapest one for?

You should visit one of their flagship stores, don't have an idea of the price but they are available.

DoggoneDogg:
Its actually a question I asked, I wasn't insinuating.

For example, the SPG series are not usually as loud as the ECO series I've come across

Ok, they sound almost same to me.

DoggoneDogg:
Why is the Sumec Firman ECO series so noisy??

You just generalized and noise in this case is subjective. Which generator do you consider quiet? I know many people reduce the running speeds of their generators to minimize noise, you can't judge with that.

Oyinlomobambam:
Did you have another suggestion?

Mi 11.

Oyinlomobambam:
It's kinda slim, curve screen, and under screen fingerprint.

It's kinda beautiful to me.

And I want to upgrade from redmi 9t.

Did you have another suggestion?

Ooo, the design is at the top of your list, then checkout the Xiaomi mi note 10/10 pro and the Mi 10 /10 pro.

Oyinlomobambam:
Chai... I love that p30 pro and think of getting Xiaomi version of it.

Is used an Idea?

Don't know what you loved about the P30 pro, it's only similar to the s10+ and the Mi 9 in terms of performance. The Huawei is a totally different phone from the Mi 9, so what do you like about the Huawei?

Oyinlomobambam:
Thanks.
Did you have Idea of the price?

Its not in production any more, will be difficult to find.

Oyinlomobambam:
Please which Xiaomi phones is same as Huawei p30 pro or Samsung S10 plus??

Should be the Mi 9 or Mi 9 pro.

laidenews:
I finally bought the Thermocool Junior today at the showroom.
I hope this is the okay.
The picture has been attached.

Yeah, that's it.

carsy:
Please the Thermocool TEC junior is 1.25KVA. Theres no 1.5KVA. Is the 1.25KVA still ok for my fridge, laptop, fan and 3 bulbs? Here is a clearer version of the specification of the fridge

It's same thing, the numbers are for marketing purposes, it will carry your appliances without stress.

fineboynl:
.I mean I have reduce the all screw of the generator. Yet the fire is still too laud the way I wanted it. The only way I can achieve that is by removing that spring. But it vibrates. That vibrates is affecting the carburetor setting. There is no load on the gen and it's 2.5 kva. I really want low noise and economy friendly. But with the little little problem the generator has be giving me with hard starting. I think it's time to leave that spring the way it comes.

Ooo, ok.

laidenews:
thank you so much sir.
Please do you have an idea of where their showroom is in Ado Ekiti?

I'm not getting anything on google nor their website.

Called this number?

Osnami:
How do I know the original from the fake apart from the price?

Check here http://en.sumecfirman.com/anti-fake.
Also buy only from accredited sellers.

fineboynl:
is there a way to adjust the governor a bit. I have lose the generator to the last point. I am not using a load. If I put back the governor spring the noise increases.

You mean you can't reduce the speed with the spring on? If that's the case then you may need to use your hand to pull the governor to adjust it.
