I change the oil once its change colour or short

This right here could take months, right? That's most likely what brought about your predicament. You dont change oil anytime you like or after there is shortage or change of colour. Oil change should be done after using the gen for a particular period of time. You should have checked your user manual for this, its normally between after 60-100 hours of run time. When you dont change oil promptly, the engine wears off rapidly.

The half engine of the 1.2kva will last 4-6 months?

What do you advise I do.

Wait ooo, what do you normally load the gen with? How many hours do you run the gen daily on average? How often do you change oil? This will give an idea of the problems you face.

I got my LG 65" from Spar. Though you have to pay huge VAT buying from such hypermarkets but the fear of buying fake at such huge amount of money spurred me on.

Never heard of TCL brand until today. Learning that it is better than LG is a shock.

It's almost like saying Infinix is better than Samsung. TCL and Hisense are really trying, but not in the league of LG, Sony, Samsung. Dont know where many people get their info from. Yes TCL is stepping up this year with their flagship mini led tvs but still not in the league of the LG G2 and C2 , the Sony A95k , or even the Samsung S95B all of last year. I did not even bother to mention some lesser models from these brands that the likes of TCL and Hisense could not compete with or even their best LED offerings, since all the listed models are OLEDs.

100ltrs single door bruhm refrigerator
50" smart tv
3 ceiling fans
5 5watts and 5 10watts energy saving bulbs
3 laptops.
Occasional use of 1hp sumo to pump water.

Bought mine for #110k in January and it's rated 2.5kw and 2.8kw max
The actual rating of the 1 he posted is 2.0kw, and 2.2kw max and it sells for around 85-90k.

Nice, at least he now has an idea on what to expect.

I've been using mine for 5 months now. No issues so far. Mine is the sv6200 model though.

What's your normal load on it and how much did you buy it?

Can someone talk to me about Senwei generators? They appear cheap in the market and I can say its price suits my budget.

I hear it’s not Copper coil, but my load isn’t much and i don’t plan of adding any more load in the near future.

I have Just a Tv ( 43 in Samsung)
145L double door fridge ( Thermocool )
Microwave 1100W
Blender 450w

I may or may not get a washing machine.
Thing is I don’t mind offloading some appliances to use another.

Can this Senwei Serve me?

For your load, there's no way you are spending anything less than 200k. You cannot even get a 2.5kva gen for that amount let alone a 4.5kva one. That price tag you see there is the red flag you are looking for. Assuming Senwei is a good product, this particular one you posted must be a fake!

Good day profs.

I'm planning to get a generator. I need your thoughts/advice from a guru point of view.

I have a 2hp pump machine. (i don't mind powering down other loads to power it, in rare cases where we have blackout that last for days)

Daily loads might be
2hp ac
1hp ac
65 inch Qled tv
Soundbars
laptops(4)
165L Freezer
Washing Machine.

Also i don't mind powering down some device to use the washing machine
Which generator KVA will you recommend?
Thanks

At least 6 5KVA or 5000W

Thanks for the input. What do you think of Senwei brand? Some say it is not full copper coil, although it’s the cheapest in the market .

Its cheap for a reason. Remember the saying,'you get what you pay for '.

Wetin dey pain me pass be say, the exynos here is more expensive.
This phone manufacturers understand our tech market and they will always give us what we want and we go dey chop am like that

Different strokes for different folks. Though some persons are simply trying to avoid getting into unwarranted troubles, that's why they'll get a new device, no matter what. But personally, I will pick a used 2 year old flagship over most of the current crops of mid range phones.

It's not a disguise. The company's sales have either stagnated or is falling short of expectation. This reeks of desperation.

When you fail to do the right things, Indian market na same thing. You go expect say with the whole Redmi 9t palava, dem go sit up, but no.

omasanbobo:
The entire phone industry except apple de look down on Africa, Oppo, Xiaomi, Vivo and Samsung usually send superior variants of their latest device to Eu and other dope markets while they send the watered down variants to Africa, what's even funny is either they think we're less tech savy or too poor to afford the more expensive variants. Same Africa wey dey buy the latest iphone and ipads and even MacBooks like it's nothing.

Samsung don't do this, this seems to be a Chinese thing. Someone created a thread some few months back on how he bought a watered down Oppo phone thinking he was getting something much better. The funny thing is that they went as far as reviewing the real thing but sent something else down here, this is almost same tactics with the Redmi note 12. In fact the whole naming confusion of the note 12 series is deliberate.

same rating in jumia and negative review.

Asides the negative review, Jumia is not a place to get accurate specs of aby device, be it Gen, phones, tvs, etc. Many sellers just literally copy and paste specs.
See the screenshot below, same Jumia.
Modifed: Such review is one reason its not advised to buy generators online, its possible he got a fake.

My People! I greet una. I'd like us to share the main factors that make you like or dislike the Redmi Note 12 series? It would be fantastic to share your thoughts on the key aspects, such as design, performance, camera quality, battery life, software experience, and any other factors that influence your opinion since using the device.
It seems they are some official eyes now keeping track on Nairaland. Over to you my people.

If only they didn't treat Nigerians the way they did by selling a very watered down version of the Redmi note 12 instead of the one with snapdragon 4 Gen 1. They should stop such sharp practices if they really want to remain relevant. One cannot even recommend the note 12 for a note 9s user.

The phone is very good but I just don't know what is wrong with that particular function.

I just went to unhide full screen indicator now to see if it will go back to normal without glitches.

Download the full rom and flash manually.

Nothing hard dem ooo. That's what we get in a country without standards! It's very possible this and other generator models have fake ratings. This also applies to other brands not just Sumec. Since Nigerian officials like being bribed, expect the worst from cunning manufacturers.
Note that this particular gen and some others are only found in Sumec's Nigerian site and not on the international site.

It's an estimate, but it's a good one. So yes, you can rely on it.
