I used the hustler Series 3.75kva. In Just 1year, I changed AVR, The coil and armature got burnt, I had to recoil the gen. The engine was consuming oil as if its life depends on it, the silencer got torn that I had to get a welder to weld it together everything was falling apart. In the end, I had to give it out. I bought firman FPG4800 E2 the following day, operating on the same load as thermocool, serviced with the same oil,(total sae40 or 20w50) and it's 16months now, Firman is running fine, the only thing i changed in firman was the petrol tap because it was not closing properly. That is my honest review.

Nakedman:
If you like yourself, Better buy inverter A/C.. You can go for Scanfrost 74% energy saving. For the Generator, Just buy Sumec FPG4800E2 it's parts are readily available and it works well. I have been using it for over 16months now and i use it for atleast 10hrs daily everyday. And it's going strong. . I service with sae 40 Total Oil every 20days.

Inverter AC is expensive o

Find a way and buy it if you want to use Air condition even if it's a fairly used one. That's the advise i can give you.

Hello everyone
2nd time posting this:

Please what is the price range of repairing armature and excited for an elepaq generator?

Maybe at oyingbo or anywhere.

Also, the price of fireman AVR and brush

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi everyone, my second time of making this post 😔pls i need a respond... who kns about this generator called Sunshow SS3600, is it good and reliable?

Good afternoon all,
What type of generator is good to run a 1hp submersible pumping machine and a fridge?
That's going to just be the what the generator will be doing?

Nakedman:

who told you this lie?

Mine that have been using for more than 4yrs with little or no repairs

Firman that the fake is all over than the original!
You can't even differentiate fake firman from the original, and even authorised seller are replacing the original with fake.

I have used both of them and I still stand on the point that Firman is better than thermocool in every aspect. When it's time for repairs on your thermocool, that is when your lamentations will start because you won't get their parts. Concerning the fake/original palava, Buyers should buy from authorized dealer or buy from their website.. Every part of firman is engraved with Firman so it's easy to spot the fakes.

what I know if I may be wrong, 7.2kva gen are usually bigger!
This particular gen can't be 7.2kva! Hence maybe fake

I have never seen a medium size 7.2kva generator most 7.2kva gen are usually bigger because of their engines size!

This should be the first sign of a fake generator!
And mind you! There is nothing like London use generator

People can only give you informed opinion based on their usage of a Generator, i would suggest you watch Youtube videos of this particular gen to get more info.

michlins:
go and find predator generator. I personally use it for heavy duty welding and haven't changed plug.

michlins:
double your budget for something really good. I got this one called predator. It's a foreign used but trust me, it's almost over a year of steady usage and I only buy engine oil.

Many people who bought after I did,(all these China imported) have either replaced or managing their own. And it's used for welding works

I got it from this nairaland sef

I said I maybe wrong 🤔

You could have educate us instead of spewing rubbish about ignorance and proud!
Everybody is ignorant of one or two things

You people can't just talk without insult. What is wrong with your brain?
Is it that your brain is full of iron and oil?

I just bought an SPG 3000 Firman generator, and I'm wondering how often people service big generators that have a separate engine oil compartment.

I've only ever owned an "I pass my neighbor" generator (the type that requires a gasoline/engine oil mixture to run), and it needed servicing every 3 weeks when used daily.

Please if you have a generator that has a separate oil compartment, let me know how often you use and service it.

Note: Servicing = opening up the generator and removing the carbon deposits, not changing the oil.

Thanks

Read your manual. Since the gen is new, your first time oil change should be more sudden than normal. Some manufacturers require you to do this after using the gen for 40 hours, check yours. After the first change, you can do subsequent change of oil after 60-70 hours, also depends on what you have in your manual.

Thanks. Mine says after the first 20 hours, and every 100 hours subsequently.

Nice. Mine has a manual starter.

The manual says to clean the air filter after every 50 hours of use and combustion chamber after every 300 hours.

Is it OK to ask a mechanic to clean the air filter and combustion chamber for me like twice a year even if the gen is working perfectly?

What about the air filter? Do you clean it yourself? How easy is it?

Charley2020:

Everything is in the manual, just read. To clean just wash with warm water and soap, rinse with warm water then dry. When its completely dried of water, soak it in clean engine oil, squeeze (take note, dont twist it, you'll end up damaging it if you do) out the oil, then put back into the gen.

this is not in the manual.....

Manual said wash not dip in engine oil


Why would you dip it in Engine oil when you just washed off Engine oil

Thank you so much for this review.
How is the fuel usage?is it fuel efficiency?
