Silenced Standby Diesel Generator 5.2kW/ 6.5kVA, Electric Start & Single Phase Low noise sound attenuated canopy with large 13L fuel tank

Used several times with no problems. Difficult to change oil because of access. Fuel level meter not accurate.

Very good and a quick delivery

Arrived with defective switch, also was not as advertised on the add, the exhaust was different and cannot be fitted with an extension, the seller does not respond to resolve the issues, very poor after sales service, had to do a charge back to relsove

Of Course the EU65 is a lot quieter. Its Petrol. The Hyundai is a Diesel, what do they expect ???

I have several generators already but wanted a more powerful house backup generator. This is a well-made, solid 5.2kW generator, worked first time (just need to fill with diesel; it already had oil added but do check!). However, it is very large, wheels help though small, and - main problem - it is extremely noisy. So much so that I'm selling it, as it is very very loud and would get neighbour complaints within minutes. Having it on overnight just isn't an option. It doesn't idle but remains on full throttle, unlike a Honda which has a variable throttle depending on power draw. End result, I bought a Honda EU65 to replace it, which is much smaller, beautifully engineered and MUCH QUIETER, to the point of really not loud at all. My learning is- buy the best you can, it's worth the money, and nothing beats Honda for generators (I have two now). Nevertheless, if used in a noisy environment like a funfair, this Hyundai would be a cheaper option to consider, and certainly works fine. Just use a long cable! It is really unfortunate that this generator is branded 'silent'. Mis-selling IMO, though I guess I should have known better, and certainly do now. The seller wouldn't take it back either.

Decent generator at a reasonable price,bear in mind it is a diesel so if you are looking for something super silent at this price you will be looking for something that doesn,t exist.

The generator is no longer working only had it for 2 weeks and it just stop working for no response. A waste of £1.3k and not a silent one at all

I was reccommended this for a back up generator for a solar off-grid installation. It is not intended for a lot of use - Comments:1. It looks well made, but is VERY noise and VERY hot despite being well-ventilated2. The auto start function has been problematic since day one an now after a year does not work at all.3. The after sales service has been terrible (but I am in Spain)4. It shuts down TOO easily - the fuse breaker thing trips. It can run only about 3 hours before this happens with a moderate load5. When it works, it works. That is not oftenI cannot reccommend this generator. I had a cheaper petrol KIPOR before with absolutely no problems and will either going back to this or going the Honda route
