Hampshire Generators Reviews

"Picked this one because it's a decent capacity, and has a cooling fan. It replaces a noname brand from Maplin that failed because it overheated, and I have another APC one that's gone the same way. Hoping this one will be different.\r\n\r\nNice display on the front panel, that has the important stats - input and output voltage, load, and battery life. \r\n\r\nThe UPS is hooked up via a 16A IEC inlet to 6 special sockets in my home office to provide UPS power for equipment that's not in the rack. \r\n\r\nOnly comment would be that it would have been nice to see the larger 16A C19 and C20 IEC connectors for the power inlet and maybe one outlet. The 10A C13 and C14 connectors are only just in range on this larger output capacity. "

"I haven\u2019t used this \u2018in anger\u2019 yet but I\u2019m sure it will not disappoint.\r\nJudging by a quick test outside my house this piece of equipment is going to do exactly what it promises. \r\nThe build quality and finish looks and feels extremely good and inspires confidence. "

"Fast delivery by Hampshire Generators and their prices are by far the most competitive. \r\nWould buy from again. \r\nThanks guys and gals!"

"Wasn't keen on dealing with petrol cans anymore and had a really bad experience with a brand new diesel generator so thought I'll give LPG a try since we have bottles on site anyway. Best decision ever.\r\nRunning a food truck at around 5.5KW average load over 10 hours a day. Ran 170 hours so far without the slightest glitch.\r\nGenerator runs smooth with only very minor audible changes when heavy loads come on or off and didn't have the slightest flicker of lights in the place like I was used to on other machines before.\r\nOil looked very clean after the first change and had no visible specs of metal in it at all.\r\nConsumption is about 1kg of LPG per hour on average 5.5KW load.\r\nCold start on LPG only (haven't put any petrol in the tank yet and not planning to ever) is very good. After hooking up the gas line I do a 5 second crank (electric starter), then wait for 5 seconds and on the 2nd crank it fires up right away every single time. \r\nI don't like how the gas hookup sticks out of the side of the generator so I installed a 90 degree elbow and to make things easier a sievert quick release coupling.\r\nThe supplied regulator looked a bit cheap (I used it for a few days and it worked fine, the LPG hose was supplied as well so not a complaint) so I installed a automatic switchover kit that hooks up to two 47kg bottles and has a regulator integrated. As soon as pressure drops in the main bottle (being empty or bottle freezing) it switches over to the other one and I would recommend upgrading to this system if generator is used daily and for long periods so you never have to worry about running out in operation and maybe damaging the voltage regulator if the load is high when it happens.\r\nAll in all a great generator for a very good price and I'm very happy with it for sure."

"Easy to use, portable but sturdy enough when set up, gave good draw on power"
