The Owner's Insights on the Hyundai HY3200SEi Portable Inverter Generator
Fifty-four to fifty-nine decibels at 7 metres. That's the quietest figure in the Hyundai inverter range, and it is your reason to buy this one: quiet enough for a caravan park at night, quiet enough that you can hold a conversation beside it.
Three ways to start it. Wireless remote from inside the van, an electric key, or the recoil cord if the battery ever goes flat. Two remote keys and two manual keys come in your box.
At 35kg with an extending handle, you move it on your own. The 7.8 litre tank gives up to 7 hours, and the digital display tracks voltage, frequency and run hours so you know when your service is due.

Is 54 decibels genuinely quiet?
This is the number that matters to you, and it beats most inverter generators at this output. Fifty-four to fifty-nine dB(A) at 7 metres is about the level of ordinary conversation. An open frame generator making the same 3,200W sits around 74 to 80 dB, and every 10 dB is roughly twice as loud to your ear. On a caravan park in the evening, or beside a house during a blackout, this is the difference between you running it and putting up with the dark.
Three start methods and four keys
Two wireless remote keys and two manual start keys come in the box, which sounds like overkill until one of yours goes missing at a camp. The remote is the one you'll use: fire it up from inside the van rather than standing over it in the rain. The electric key is the start on your panel. The recoil cord is there for the day the battery's flat, which is exactly when you need your generator most.
What 3,200W runs, and where it stops
Three thousand two hundred watts covers your fridge, lights, phone and laptop charging, a TV and a kettle if nothing else is going. On a job it runs a couple of your hand tools or a small compressor. Where it stops is a caravan air conditioner alongside everything else, an induction cooktop, or a big power tool. Add up what runs at once, use the running figure for each item, and leave yourself a margin. If it's tight, the HY4000SEi is the next step.
Thirty-five kilos with a handle that extends
Thirty-five kilos is a genuine one-person lift for most of us, and the extending handle means you wheel it rather than carry it across your site or campground. That matters more than the spec sheet suggests: a generator that's awkward to move is one that stays in your shed. It's also 400 x 400 x 560mm, so it fits in your boot or a camper locker without a rethink.
One year of warranty is the trade
Worth knowing up front: the factory warranty is 12 months, where open frame generators at similar money often carry two or three years on the engine. What you're paying for instead is 54 dB, the clean inverter output and three start methods, and no open frame unit at this price gives you those. If a long engine warranty matters more to you than quiet, ring the store on 03 7056 6732 and we'll point you at the right machine.

The oil, the tools and both sets of keys come in the box, so it's ready to run once you add fuel. Check the outlet type against your leads before you order: the spec sheet lists 2 x 16A, so ring the store on 03 7056 6732 if you want us to confirm what plugs fit before it ships.
Not Sure Which Inverter Generator Suits You?
The HY3200SEi suits you if quiet is the thing that matters, for a caravan park, a camp or a blackout beside a house, and you'd like to start it from inside. It's the wrong pick if you run an air conditioner or heavy tools, where the HY4000SEi gives you more, or if noise doesn't matter where you work, where an open frame generator costs a lot less. It carries a 1-year factory warranty. Try the Generator Finder, or call the store on 03 7056 6732.
