My 3rd gentrax inverter generator, had issues with all 3. Latest one lasted 6 weeks and wouldn't start. Only used twice a week to power LED lights… Read more

and cash registers. Still under 12 month warranty. However on approaching Gentrax they suggested I remove carby, fuel lines etc, were quite dimissive, then suggested I'd have to pay for repairs when I indicated I wasnt touching it as it was under warranty. They then changed their tune and said I could return it at my cost and they would assess the issue. Had no confidence they would fix or replace product. Have since purchased a quality Honda generator, more expensive, however at least I know it will go the distance. Will never buy a gentrax again, cheap, unreliable and customer service very poor.

Bought from Outbax, Dead on arrival, will not start. eventually after much stuffing around managed to start it by manually overriding the choke. but… Read more

as it is out of the box it will not start. sent a detailed description of the issue, long wait, then they wanted video's. asked for conformation they had received and took a few days just to confirm they had and they had been sent to the "technician". after another week another email and claimed they have not heard from the "technician" im a month out from purchase still without a working generator. they have now said they are sending a courier to pick it up. will update as it happens - but as of now would recommend not touching with a 10 foot pole

Fast delivery - we bought this generator for cyclone season. We haven’t required it it but it’s been checked over & started regularly & runs perfectly, Show details

heavy to move...with the single handspace handle on the top ...solve that ...by using a small sack truck... when refuelling...you must/should use a funnel...to avoid spillage. I use it in my garage and camping on a very base's... 10/10...a wise investment...value for money...awesome quality.

I ordered and recieved a Cromtech Outback Platinum 2.4 kw generator just before Christmas 2025. Upon unpacking my generator on Christmas Eve I… Read more

noticed a very fine and small crack in the back muffler panel, nothing to worry about it was just a small cosmetic fault. I did however send am email to Cromtech on Christmas Eve 2025 just advising them of the fault.Today the 09/01/2026 a package arrived containing a brand new back muffler panel for my generator. Truely excellant customer service at the busiest time of the year, I know am dealing with a great company in terms of product and customer service.

Thank you Mark

I am very happy with my 1 kva honda generator. I like the fact that is light and easy to operate. I could not be happier with my purchase Show details

P*ssed off! You sold me a 2kva gen to run a RV air con, TOO SMALL & now refusing to refund, will not Be recommending Kings to anyone

Absolutely—here’s a clean, solid review you can use or tweak depending on your experience: ⸻ Review: Honda EU32i I’ve been using the Honda EU32i… Read more

for a while now, and overall it’s been a seriously impressive bit of gear.

The first thing that stands out is how quiet it is for the amount of power it produces. For a 3.2kVA generator, it runs smoothly and doesn’t have that harsh, rattly noise you get from cheaper units—ideal for camping or caravan setups where noise matters.

Power output has been excellent. It comfortably runs my essentials including air con, induction cooking, and other appliances without struggling. The inverter technology delivers clean, stable power, so I’ve had no issues running sensitive electronics.

Fuel efficiency is another big plus. It sips fuel compared to older generators I’ve used, and the eco-throttle feature helps extend runtime when you’re not drawing full load.

Build quality is exactly what you’d expect from Honda—solid, reliable, and well thought out. It feels like something that will last years, not just seasons.

A couple of downsides worth mentioning: • It’s not a lightweight unit, so moving it around can be a bit of a workout. • It’s definitely on the expensive side compared to other brands—but you’re paying for reliability and performance.

Overall, if you want a dependable, quiet, and powerful generator for caravanning or off-grid use, the Honda EU32i is hard to fault. It’s an investment, but one I’d make again.

Rating: 4.5 / 5

Generator has been great since we bought it over 2 years ago . We had a power outage that lasted 4 days early 2025 and due to the large fuel tank… Read more

only needed to fill twice . As we have the house power board set up to plug direct into the house with the generator , it is a simple operation to power the whole house , fridges, all lights, communication gear , even air conditioning when needed . Have tested the generator with all power equipment drawing and the generator sits at 5.1 kva , turn off air conditioning and it settles at 3.9 kva , with normal usage during the day it sat at 1.2 kva . We had the generator operating 24 hours per day during this period and it didn’t miss a beat. Great bit of equipment for those of us who live in the bush

Amazing quiet generator. The only thing wrong is no automatic choke. Show details

Very good – Very quite, and light in weight, does all the things I need it to do very happy with it can’t wait to go camping and really give it a work out  Show details

spares – Purchased second hand with little use. Worked fine then 3 months ago the fuel tap broke. Still waiting for a replacement ! Very poor after sale so buy a honda I recommend

Surprisingly good generator especially for the $ – Very quiet,a bit noisier on full load but relatively light, economical, easy to start and runs the air con ok with an Ibis 4 in a 22.5 foot caravan.… Read more

Run time per tank is excellent. Inverter output means my electronics are safe and there is plenty electronics in a modern caravan. Good back up too in the next cyclone.

Good solid generator – Our power went off for 4 days during a cyclone, I raced out and bought the last generator available which happened to be the Briggs&Stratton P3000 so… Read more

that was my only choice. This was in March 2017. We have at least 2-4 blackouts a year due to storms, floods and people hitting power poles. Anywhere from 12 hours to 4 days. This generator lives on the back porch at the ready. 270 hours on the meter and still going strong. Has run up to a large fridge, large freezer, two bar fridges, fans, tv, computer and the water pump. I’m using it right now as I type this review. It’s been a trooper of a generator. I’m sure it will die one day, nothing lasts forever. I work it pretty hard as I run it in economy mode, and she groans when the water pump turns on. I’ve used it to run a 15amp mig welder out in the paddock and it handled it great. It’s almost 7 years old as of writing and has paid for itself, I wouldn’t hesitate at this point to buy another one if this one wears out, providing it doesn’t fail due to poor design/parts quality. I see someone wrote that he couldn’t get a new inverter for his, I haven’t needed any parts but that could be an issue. Although the design hasn’t changed and they sell these world wide so eBay does have a source for new and used parts. You would just have to be prepared to source from the U.S. I can still get parts for a 25 year old MAKITA leaf blower.

parts a problem – I have a Yamaha ef2000is which is about 4 years old that used to run fine until it was unused for 18 months. Now it needs a new carby but there is… Read more

none available in Australia, I have been trying to purchase one for 5 months to no avail so I am now regretting buying a Yamaha instead of a Honda. If you cant buy spares don't buy the product!.

Purchased generator in Dec 24 and used for 3 days during power outage on Gold Coast caused by Cyclone Alfred in March 25. Noticed front control panel… Read more

LED indication stopped working, contacted itechworld technical services, spoke with Noora who was excellent in handling the warranty claim and promptly dispatching a replacement unit. Could not ask for better service. Well done!

Great unit for use in the recent flood in Brisbane – Bought this 18 months ago to use when we go camping which works great.But the big test was recently when we we were flooded in our estate, the unit… Read more

started first pull and ran our main fridge , chest freezer & our Ingall fridge plus a charged all our portable chargers plus our neighbours. I was surprised when our friends bought around there coffee maker….no problem it did not trip nor did it when I tried a 4 slice toaster. So I highly recommend this product in this price range

The generator is great. It runs quietly enough and works well. I tested a 2000-watt heater, and it gets nice and hot. The revs go up a bit when using… Read more

the heater on low at 1000 watts. It's a beautiful machine. Fill the oil slowly and check the dip stick as there's a little oil in the machine, only needed 450ml to top it up.

Will never buy another Yamaha! – We took the generator to a Yamaha service centre to find out why it would stop whenever we tried to power something. We were informed that the… Read more

inverter board was faulty and needed to be replaced and that the root cause was the alternator. Cost to fix is going to cost more than to buy a brand new one. Not happy!

load, but hate when got overloaded light flashing no reset switch have to shut down and restart again also looking for the next generater with 3000 watts

Living in a tropical climate with blackouts being the norm a generator is a smart buy. I decided to go with DeWALT,its a brand I have grown to trust.… Read more

I paid $1,299 at Bunnings..expensive? yes,but one substantial blackout all the foods in the fridge and two freezers is lost.So one substantial blackout and the generator has paid for itself. The absolute pittance the government gives in these circumstances would replace next to nothing. The generator weighs 25kilo which is nearly half the weight of the cheaper brands. It comes with a two year emissions warranty,the build itself is incredibly high quality. Having had a blackout the night before purchase we set it up ready to go by following the detailed instructions in the booklet. It runs at a very acceptable noise level…

Arrived within 3 days of ordering. Topped it up with oil and fuel, followed the starting instructions and started first pull. Light weight and easy… Read more

to operate. It will be great for camping off grid. Very quiet and smooth operation. I’m very impressed. Was less than $400 delivered to my door.

Check product carefully on receipt – Unboxing product today. Spark plug top is bent and porcelain cracked. No dust cover or screw driver in the box contrary to website listing. Earth cable and spike not included.

not worth the trouble – itech world redback 3.5 generator, is disappointing, it cant run any more then my old 2.2 Honda. And when doing that it is very noisy it can only run a fan heater plus a 60 watt battery charger., not worth buying. Show details

Major faults – Bought the EF1000IS believed it to be the top of the line in generaters with the top of the line price tag, fitted a hour meter electronic to keep… Read more

track of oil changes. Now the warranty was a difficult so it went it recycling the unit itself ran well but with a certain vibration at a particular rpm, and the fuel tap poor quality shortly after 300 hours it stopped checking the oil it was overflowing with a mixture of oil and fuel redone the oil same problem fuel in the sump overflowing the fuel tap hopeless and fuel pressurising back through the engine major fault Would I buy a Yamaha again NO

The unit I received had a faulty carburettor causing the engine to surge. The company was very good to deal with. They exchanged the faulty unit with… Read more

all transport costs covered. Expect to have to add oil and fuel to this and any generator you buy. They cannot be shipped unless dry. The unit has worked perfectly for me. I connect it to my house via a change over switch during power blackouts. I can run everything I need. Sometimes you do have to pick and choose when high wattage appliance are used. It will run my electric hot water heat pump at the same time as lights, TV, internet, PC, etc. You need a 7500w machine and a 32A changeover switch if you want to run multiple high wattage appliances at the same time. The unit is quite small and doesn't take up much room when stored. The power produced is very stable when you are under 3500w output. It starts easily. Things that could be improved are the addition of an ECO switch. Some wheels and a handle would be good to improve portability. A quieter muffler would also be good, but the noise level is in-line with similar units in the neighbourhood. An ECO switch would also help with noise when only low output wattage is required.
