Petrol, Diesel Or Inverter?

Choosing the right generator starts with how and where you plan to use it. Petrol generators offer versatility, diesel generators suit demanding applications and inverter generators provide clean, efficient power for sensitive electronics.

Petrol Generators For Everyday Jobs

Petrol generators are practical all-rounders for home, shed and job site use. They're available in everything from small generators for occasional jobs to larger electric start generators when you need more power and easier starting.

Diesel Generators For Long Run Times

Need reliable power for longer periods? Diesel generators are well suited to demanding applications and extended run times. They're a popular choice for worksites, properties and larger backup power requirements.

Inverter Generators For Clean, Quiet Power

Inverter generators provide stable power suitable for sensitive electronics such as laptops and TVs. Their compact designs and quieter operation also make them popular as portable generators, camping generators and caravan generators.

What Size Generator Do You Need?

Wondering what size generator do I need? Start with the appliances, tools or equipment you want to power, then choose a generator with enough capacity to comfortably handle the combined load.

Add Up What You Run At Once

Check the running and starting wattage of anything you'll use simultaneously. Appliances with motors, including fridges and pumps, can require extra power when starting.

Shop By Output

For light-duty use, a compact generator may be enough. Larger generators provide the output required for multiple appliances, heavy-duty tools or more substantial home backup. Always allow some spare capacity rather than running your generator continuously at its maximum output.

Browse by size: 2kW generators, 3000 watt generators, 4kVA generators or 10kW generators.

Generators For Home, Work And Weekends

The best generators are the ones suited to the job. Consider where you'll use yours, how much power you need, fuel type, portability and noise before you buy generators.

Compare power output, features and brands including Gentech, Genelite, Westinghouse, Hyundai, Welling & Crossley, Champion and Briggs & Stratton.

Home Backup When The Grid Drops

Generators for home can keep essential appliances running during an outage. Your required output will depend on whether you're powering a few essentials or a larger part of the property.

Job Site Power

For tools and equipment away from mains electricity, look for a robust generator with enough starting and running capacity for your workload. Petrol and diesel models offer options for jobs of different sizes.

Camping And Caravanning

For trips away, portability and noise matter. Compact inverter and silent generators are popular choices because they're easier to transport and can provide clean power for electronics.
