  • An indicator on top of the machine shows you the quantity of fuel in the tank so that the machine can be refilled appropriately. Some complications that might arise due to the fuel tank being empty can be easily avoided.
  • There is an electronic digital display that lets you know how many amps the generator is supplying on the four outlets.
  • It has a very solid and sturdy build quality, to very high standards.

Cons:

One of the customers commented on the product packaging being damaged and since it is a bit heavy, the box arrived damaged in transit but this is obviously not the fault of the company but the shipping company. There is no harm reported to the product itself but this something the seller may need to make a note of.

In conclusion, this would be an amazing product to get for your home, especially if you reside in a place with very frequent power cuts. This compact, safe, powerful generator can come in handy in times of need- is truly a budget-friendly product that happens to be quite useful, is a very good value for money unit. You can get it at a reasonable price even though it offers the performance of a higher priced generator.
