Gentech 8kVA Honda Powered Electric Remote Start EP8000HSRE-RS

On a full 30-litre tank of unleaded petrol, the EP8000HSRE-RS will run for up to 11.6 hours at 80% load. That's more than enough to get through a full day on the job or a night at camp without stopping to refuel.

With 8kVA of output power, this generator handles pretty much everything on a worksite or campsite - power tools, fridges, lights, water pumps, and sensitive electronics. As long as your total load stays within 8kVA, you're good to go.

The EP8000HSRE-RS has three ways to start: recoil pull start, electric key start, or wireless remote start. The remote start lets you fire it up from indoors or your vehicle without walking out to the generator - handy when it's raining or you've got it stashed away from camp.

It weighs 120 kg, so it's not something you'll be carrying by hand. It's built with a sturdy frame that has a central lifting point, and there's an optional wheel kit available if you need to move it around the site or campground regularly.

It comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty from Gentech Generators, backed by Honda Australia on the GX390 engine. We ship Australia-wide and free engine oil is included with your purchase.

It runs at 72 dBA measured at 7 metres. That's about the same as a vacuum cleaner - not silent, but perfectly workable on a jobsite or at a campsite where you need serious power.
