Ordered this Monday lunchtime and was with me Tuesday morning! Great value for money. Brought this to take camping to Isle of Man (TT Racing)... Would have cost us £80 more to hire one for the week so saved money and got to keep it! We managed to power our mobile phones, fridge, lighting and even a Microwave! It has a 110V outlet on which we did not use but would be handy for anyone who has 110V power tools.
The generator is not a silent type (which was the only downside) but we placed it a few meters away and ran an extension lead from the generator to our area.
We had it on most evenings and would estimate it uses 1L per hour of fuel - which I thought was very good value for money....
Finally - the open frame design makes moving this unit extremely easy. It is heavy (40KG approx) but one person can move it but ideally you want two.

Details
The ParkerBrand 2.8kVA 6.5HP DC Petrol Generator is the perfect solution for affordable, portable electricity, whether powering equipment at home, on-site, or out and about. Built to last, this generator is constructed from high-grade, hard-wearing materials, ensuring durability and reliability. Designed with convenience in mind, it features a compact, open framework that enhances airflow to the powerful four-stroke 196cc 6.5HP air-cooled engine, allowing it to run smoothly and efficiently every time. Its compact size makes transporting and storing it when not in use remarkably straightforward, making it a practical addition to your equipment line-up. Or opt for our version with a wheel kit if this suits you better.
What sets this generator apart is its premium performance. We use a 100% copper motor coil rather than inferior aluminium alternatives, delivering a more reliable and consistent power output for peace of mind. The ParkerBrand 2.8kVA petrol generator offers versatile power options, with 110V, 240V AC, and 12V DC outputs, all regulated by a built-in Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). This ensures a smooth voltage flow, protecting your equipment by reducing the risk of damaging power spikes.
Whether tackling projects at home, needing reliable power for outdoor activities or caravans, or requiring dependable support on project sites, this generator delivers robust performance and flexibility. Combining quality construction with exceptional power output, it's a generator you can trust for the tasks that matter most.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It's always a good idea to carefully consider the demands of any equipment that you may choose to power with the generator. The start-up demand (the power required to start any equipment) may be higher than the overall general demand. You can find more information on calculating the requirements on specific blogs on the ParkerBrand website. These generators are NOT suitable for powering LED lights or digital equipment.
We do have this product available with a full wheel set.
