it is a good Gen just make sure you get it from their showroom and don't do any tweaking to the Gen.

As in ehn, I am seeing its better to leave your gen the way it came. If you tweak to save fuel, you cannot load the gen to full capacity without the gen vibrating, that's because the power of the gen has been reduced. Some persons can't go through the headache of tweaking the gen back when they need the power, some even totally forget and are left with self induced issues.

laidenews:
what's the price range please

Should be around 80-90k now.

Osnami:
Hi guys, Please I need a quick response here as I am going to order one tomorrow.
Which is the best out of these 2

1. Elepaq constant (Yaofeng) 4.5kva
2. Sumec Firman 4.5kva.

Thanks in anticipation

Both generators are not original. Get the Sumec, and get it from one of their flagship stores, there are fakes everywhere. An original sumec 4.5kva is surely around the 200k region.

laidenews:
I just read now on this thread (past posts) that thermocool junior is better.
What do you think please?
I don't want to waste money on generator that will give issues.

Thank you.

Buy Thermocool junior, it's the best for this size, though expensive.

Here is my predicament.

I bought my generator not quite up to 2 yours and it's not heavy usage.

In other to lower the generator noise and fuel efficiency. I remove the governor spring and also lower the speed flat. The generator make very low sounds except for the fact it's vibrates and not running on a balance settings. I really do not care as I wanted a very low noise.

What I have observe so far is that the carburetor rod (bolt and screw) don't last as it always chop out. I guess as a result from the vibration. To unscrew them at times it's a nightmare. But still I don't care because of I don't want laud noise.

I don't know of this is bad for the generator? The generator make too much now if I put back that spring.

Of course it's bad for the generator. The vibrations will end up causing wears in other internal parts of the engine which could be fatal.

Hello house

Please I'm looking at buying a sumec 1800(1.2kva) for my laptop and one bulb. I want to know if the power will not be too much considering the fact that it'll only power my laptop.

Thank you.

It won't be too much even if the generator is 10kva, what matters is they voltage produced, which is 2020-230V.

DoggoneDogg:
Thanks

Uwc.

DoggoneDogg:
The noise is louder than other gens its size o.

And yes, it should have oil shortage cuz it drops & I have to change it like every month. I was advised to do this once it drops low & never allow it dry completely.

If it drops and you use it regularly, then a month might be too long to change oil. I will advise you take it to a reliable mechanic for servicing.

DoggoneDogg:
Doing it increased the noise
Oil change like every month. Will do before next use sef

Note: I was advised to always empty old oil completely before pouring new oil. What does this mean??

If increasing the noise makes it work then manage the noise. Is the noise louder than other similar sized generators?
The normal way to change oil is complete replacement unless your engine is experiencing oil shortage, that's when you can top it.

DoggoneDogg:
Lol

Done this before but the noise no be here. Scared of doing it more

If doing it increased the voltage, do it gently till it gets to 2020-230V. When was the last time you changed your oil?

Wizdeen:
Hello boss,

Just came across a fairly used Thermocool BoboMax recoil series.

I intend to take a mechanic to inspect the gen as the owner had assured me its the one she currently uses but in urgent need of money.

What do you think i should be looking out for and how often should one run maintenace on the gen?

Thanks bro

Should check that the coil especially has not been tampered with. Assuming everything goes well, you won't be needing the services of a mechanic if you change oil regularly, say after 60-70 hours of use.

DoggoneDogg:
I don't know how to do that.
Is it the same thing as "highing the gen"??

Yes, high am first .

DoggoneDogg:
Sumec Firman - capacitor.

So once the capacitor is changed, no more fluctuation??

Before going the capacitor route, is the running speed low? Have you tried to increase the speed and see if the voltage increases?

DoggoneDogg:
Mr. Professor, biko my gen fluctuates current.
I use a surge protector & when my gen is on, it goes off all the time which means the current drops below 140v.

What should be fixed in the gen to stop this?

Thanks.

What type of gen? Should be either capacitor or AVR depending of which the gen uses.

PLEASE, I AM NOT THE PROFESSOR, we are just assisting in ways we can.

okoro99:
Ok thank you.

Read carefully before you continue, TWRP should do the trick, you might need to download another rom, it's possible the previous one you downloaded is corrupt.

Weldone bros.

carsy:
Please what good brand can you recommend?

Go for Thermocool TEC junior.

Wizdeen:
Hello everyone, how una dey today?

Abeg oh, whats the most reliable and affordable gen to get for first timers in the market now to power a laptop, fan and TV.

Preferably 1.5-1.8kva

Thank you

Tec junior.

Sportwin:
I Only stated my observation
once again 2 truths can co-exist

Yeah.

Sportwin:
sir thats the gen junior max , i snapped both didnt i

Well, if that's the case, I doubt the power written on the AC, might be 1Hp actually, but even at that, it's surprising. That's what Nigeria has been reduced to, standards are not being followed. Was just checking out Silver crest blender some days ago because of the advertised 4500W power. Only for me to check a Nigerian review on YouTube and was surprised the lady could power it with a small generator ( likely 1.5kva from her description). What this means is that the blended is actually less than 1000W ( no wonder it couldn't crush ice as advertised). If you check online reviews on the best blenders from Vitamix, Hamilton and the likes, you'll see that powerful blenders that can crush ice are hardly even up to 2000W.

carsy:
Good evening house, please what generator can power my fridge? Here is the specification of the fridge.

At least a 1.5kva gen should do.

Benard5050:
But those who are using d product can tell others if it's 100%copper or not and from that others will be aware.

It means you are saying there are no fakes in Nigeria. You cannot just tell someone to buy an item just by looks. By looks you cannot differentiate between an original and a fake, this applies to other items. I have seen an original Firman SPG 1800 and two fakes in the same shop. I can tell you that there's no way to differentiate them I their pics are put side by side.

Benard5050:
How about with the product and model

Nobody advertises any generator model as 100% aluminum, or brass or a mixture of coils, it's always 100% copper. They know that coils in generators should be made of copper, anything else is inferior. They'll always use 100% copper as advert even though in many cases it's not.

Sportwin:
i am talking about the brand and model
or you bought an inferior gen

Truth is you are mistaking somewhere, Thermocool junior max is 1100W maximum, there's no way it can power a 1.5Hp Inverter AC.

tomsniel:
I just flashed flashed the Xiaomi. eu rom. I still don't have my audio and microphone working. I even tried the new stable beta for mi 9t based on Android 11. Still no audio and microphone doesn't work.

At this point, it's looking like hardware ish. Just carry out the hardware test to be sure.

Sportwin:
yes something junior

If I get you clearly, are you saying you used a Tec junior to power a 1.5hp AC?

Nathandics:
Thank u sir...but Sir iam a complete novice here...is there any significant way to be certain a generator its a copper

Will say you should go with a trusted engineer. What's your budget by the way?

ringi82:
Itec 3.5kva power generator

Oo, ok.

Nathandics:
Pls sir help me check if this generator is good and also if its 100% copper or aluminum

You don't know if a generator has copper or aluminum coil justified by looking at pictures. You have to inspect it physically to know. Don't buy generators online, you'll likely be sold fakes. You should get this generator only if you are willing to gamble with your cash.

Sportwin:
yes i am very sure cos i have used it
i wouldnt say if i had not tried it
countless times
dont underrate that gen

Are you talking about a 1.5kva gen? What's the model of the gen?

ringi82:
You are quite right. I've done my own research on the Gen too, and there are good reviews about it. It's powered by Zinox, an indigenous company and they have a service center in lagos. How much did you get the electric starter model and how's the noise level.

Which gen are you talking about?

xorojinxx:
Chai, I'm in Lagos o. My case spoilt and glass since 3 months ago and I can't order from Aliexpress.

Ha, how can I get this?

His number is there, why not call him and arrange how to waybill, with you taking care of all expenses of course.
