suits purpose

published

Quick courier delivery. Initial comments are as with Alan S took several attempts to get fuel up initially but once that was done works well. Powers 2000w drop saw easily. Much quieter than previous older generator but still wouldn't want it running close during the night.

Purchased in December 2021 at outbaxcamping (on line) for $509.00.

Great little generator

published

This unit is a little heavier and noisier than I expected but perhaps Im getting older. It performs very well. Easy to start once you have it worked out. Would recommend happily.

Excellent value for money

A well constructed portable generator. After filling the engine oil, petrol, and following the user guide for starting procedure, it fired up quickly. The engine is reasonably quiet - quieter than I had expected, so thats a bonus.

Purchased in October 2021 at eBay for $469.00.

Excellent machine it this price category

published

The generator performs well and the performance matches specification. I found it the quietest in this price bracket - still noisy though ;-), but if you want something "whisper quiet", spend about 4 times of its price for Honda or Yamaha... It is well put together and it is supplied with an instruction manual written in a good English.
My only gripe is the start feature. In temperatures around 20*C it takes 4-5 pulls to get it going, what is rather average. I didn't have chance to test it in colder weather.
In total: very good value for money, hard to beat.

Very good value for money

I needed a 2.0 to 2.5 KW Generator for very occasional use in our Caravan. A Honda or Yamaha generator would be good, but not at the price they are! The Gentrax is ideal - well-made, good-looking and a quarter the price of the others. I was also impressed with Outbax Camping for their very quick response to my query to them. Good work!

Excellent Service and Product

published

Bought a Gentrax 2.5kw Inverter, service was great with a quick delivery and an awesome produce. The generator itself is compact, light and runs quietly. I bought this to service my caravan and it will do the job perfectly.

Good value for price

published

The Generator itself works well but have had issues with fuel leak in tap and oil leak from return line hose clamp. Have only used it twice for 4 hours. Haven't used a full tank of fuel yet which is pretty good. Will be using it more regularly in the future.

Great value for the price

published

Delivery in good time and as described. After oiling and fueling up it took about 20 pulls too fire up, probably due to no priming bulb. The choke lever is too short and difficult too use. Haven't used it under full load as yet only a few test runs too run it in. but once warmed up it starts within 2 or 3 pulls. 2 x 15amp outlets, Eco mode, 12 volt charger are good features to have. All in all very happy with my purchase so far.

Gentrax 2.5kw

published

Received my gen in good time, all as described. Fueled her up and pulled the cord. Off she went.. Havent used it for that long yet, all good so far. Got a few trips coming up and hopefully it keeps purring along. They say u get what u pay for, "hopefully this is not the case" as it was a really good price and im hoping it keeps on keeping on. Better doing a review after a year.

Good for the money

published

I paid $425 for this generator including delivery. I actually makes the rated output. The coke is difficult to use and there is no fuel primer bulb so you need to pull it a few times after filling the fuel. It is quite loud under full load, however this is not that bad for the power it is generating. It is fuel efficient and weighs 30kg. The oil filler is pretty fiddly as is changing the oil which needs to be done at 30 then 100 hours. It runs my jayco eagle no problems including the aircon. Happy with the purchase and would buy again if needed. Honda price for equivalent is $2500.

Gentrax 2.5kva generator

published

Unit arrived well boxed. The user manual could do with a review and a rewrite. The choke is just about impossible to get to without removing the access cover. This needs to be done to check the oil level. The unit sraers fairly easy and is quite acceptable for the noise level. The unit needs to be earthed however the ear5h cable is not provided. In all when the cost is considered it is a reasonable purchase and offers value for money.
