Gentrax 3.5kW Camping Inverter (page 6 of 10)

I bought this generator in the first place to run as a spare for my 34ft boat.I have had no problems with it and it has no problems running the whole boat when the engines are off.This includes the fridge the lights the tvs and the main 10 amp battery charger.good investment considering my boat gender is about $7000.

Easy to start even after standing for extended periods. Copes with any load I put on it. Instant power supply. Quiet while running & very economical to run. Convenient size, doesn't take up to much room. Whilst it is not light to carry it is not to heavy for me to carry on my own from place to place.

Good generator to run a caravan wit it runs the air conditioner, water heater and lights it is great being 4 stroke so no mixing fuels I use a 30 metre extension lead so the noise is minimal I would recommend this product to any one who would want a generator for their camping purposes.

Arrived on time. Started on the second pull. Runs my power tools which is what I want it for when there is no mains power. Would have been better if an earth lead and stake had been included. So far, so good but I won't sell my 2KVa Honda just yet.

A perfect solution for power to my shed, as I only occasionally need to do some work there and much cheaper than permanent electricity to be installed. I may think about some more insulation to make it a bit quieter, exhaust especially may need some more insulation. Overall it works well.

Top generator outstanding value for money and arrived quickly from dispatch.
Will buy again no problems, compared to all that I reviewed the 3.5 kw was at a unbelievable price .
Very surprised at how quite the unit is even under load . Cover and tool kit came with the unit .

Unit was purchased on eBay for a great price, and delivered free within a few days . After reading the manual, purchasing the specified oil, making up the earthing lead then adding the oil and unleaded petrol, the generator happily started after only about half the pulls listed in the manual. I then ran the unit for nearly 2 hours in economy mode to power a set of light globes just to test the generator and to gently run it in . I am extremely satisfied with the ease of starting the unit, its cost and look forward to using it for years to come on our camping trips . Many thanks for a fabulous deal .

We bought it a couple of weeks ago. Took it camping in our caravan. It did a great job. All our gadgets worked really well : fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, etc. It's a bit on a heavy side, but well worth for what it does. Very happy with the purchase.

After adding oil and priming the fuel it started on the second pull. It runs the air conditioner and microwave at the same time, what more could you ask for. Fantastic value. Add to this the cover and tool kit and it is the complete package. A BIG Thank you.

This is an amazing product. Very compact and works great. We had to use it today as we had a blackout and it worked so well. It will also be great when we go camping to areas without power.
Its the best decision we have made to buy this. I recommend people to buy one of these
Very cheap and works great. :-)

It's a very quiet and powerful unit. It's very easy to start. And, it's easy to move around. I put it on a fold up trolley when I have to move it some distance and I can move it anywhere I like. It's the best value around for the price.

My original Gentrax was the 2.5KW used for 5 years in some very harsh conditions running up to 24hrs every day for four weeks at least three times a year with simple preventive maintenance clean air filter regularly and drop oil every 10 days clean spark plug and spark arrester on exhaust it never failed. Just upgraded to 3.5 to run air con expect the same quality and performance.

Just delivered two days ago so not able to rate performance at this stage but very happy with build quality and price. Will look forward to using it for free camping or when we have one of our frequent black outs. Communication from Outbax Camping was excellent. Would buy again.

Purchased one of these on ebay 2 years ago as an emergency backup when camping at free stays. At the price I paid I could buy 4 of these for the price they want for one of the well known brands. Have never had a reason to use it for the purpose we bought it (on the Caravan ) but it has run for days at a time at home when we get blackouts.
Never missed a beat at home. Hooked up 2 large fridges, 2 large freezers, lights, television. No problem.
It just did a 16,000 km trip around Australia. Still didn't get to use it.
Great little machine.
Maybe one day I'll get to use it camping.

Very good communication, very fast shipping to Western Australia from your warehouse over East - arrived in two day, very well packaged and the generator is 5 stars easy instructions, runs very quiet with ample power to run what we need it to do.
Recommended product A + + +

Ordered through E Bay. Excellent service and generator delivered to the front door.. A bit of correspondance with Out Bax Camping re item and all inquiries responded to very quickly. Item only arrived yesterday. and is in perfect condition. Researched the numerous inverter generators on line pretty extensively and selected the gentrax brand 3 to 3.5 Kw model in the recoil start. The electric start model was about 10 kg heavier. Have'nt put it through its paces under load yet. but Outbax Campings allround customer service and old fashioned, nothings too much trouble, salesmanship was exceptional. I'm impressed.

Starts and runs easily with no concerns...only had it a couple of days and haven't loaded it up yet but so far it has been very good with small appliances ...be interesting next power outage but can't see why it won't do the job.... just as long as the beers cold

The service was great. Prompt delivery to my address. The generator started first go after oil and fuel was added. I am now on the Ivanhoe to Menindee Road on my way to Birdsville and on to North Queensland. Using every day to keep fridge and heater going in my caravan. So far I am happy with the purchase.

The generator was fantastic and far better than expected. Also the price was amazing, well reduced. It was easy to setup and get going and it was very quiet. Tracking information was given on every step and it arrived very quickly. I recommend your eBay service and would certainly use it again.

This Generator works well, it's quiet, and a very powerful machine. I used it with a 2000w electric chainsaw and it did the job well. Very fuel efficient, I have only had it a week so looking forward to using it on a few more occasions, but for now im happy.

Update,
Didn't use it for 6 months now it won't start think it's the carby,
If you have one use it regularly to keep it working.
Cheers.

Great customer service response, so effiecient, nothing but great experience ..well done will definitely recommend to my friends and family in the future, great product and great service will be happy to purchase from your company in the near future, you have won me...thankyou thankyou thankyou, I’m so happy with my new gentrax generator

Purchased the Gentrax as I didn’t fancy spending over $3000 on other brands. I wasn’t disappointed, does everything the other ones do. And if I only get a couple of years out of it can still buy another one & not be even close to spending 1000’s.
Very happy with my purchase.

18 months old, throw away. The tech just told me to throw it... It's cheap crap... His words. 700 bucks craps against the wall. Look at other generators, this one has just cost our trip to Uluru after travelling 7000 km. Would never purchase any product from them again. Bite the bullet and buy a reputable brand.

I purchased one of these Generators and found it to be faulty, it is not branded eg Gentrax, just a plain outer case with no branding, I think it is sold under many brand names.
My unit kept cutting out when put under a light load, so required a return which is a frustrating exercise as they wanted proof of the problem before allowing me to return it. The fit and finish is poor, but expected for the price. (surprised at the positive reviews).
My advice save your money and buy a second hand Honda ( which I have done) and you will find you will have a quality product which Honda is famous for, not forgetting good parts and service follow up.

we get a few blackout here sometimes they last 3 to 4 days I love my gentrax. it saves my food I can run my house on it . it was good value for money I highly recommend this product . it is very quite starts easy it is up there with the best of them.
