Hyundai HY6000i 5500W Petrol Inverter Generator

The HY6000i is rated at 5500W continuous, with 6000W available for surge loads. Hyundai and Genelite label it 7.5kVA in their marketing, but the figures that matter for running gear are the 5500W rated and 6000W max output.

Yes. It is a true inverter generator, which means it produces a clean, stable sine wave rather than raw generator output. That makes it safe for laptops, phone chargers, TVs, and other sensitive electronics that a cheaper open-frame generator could damage.

The 13.5 litre petrol tank gives you around 11 hours of run time at 50% load. Run time will drop if you are pulling closer to the full 5500W rating, so plan fuel stops around your actual load, not the maximum figure.

Yes, it starts with a simple push-button electric start, no pull cord required. That is a genuine point of difference from cheaper petrol generators that still rely on a recoil pull start.

It runs at 64dB(A) measured at 7 metres, which is quiet for a petrol generator this size. That is roughly the volume of normal conversation, so it will not draw complaints at a caravan park or campsite.

It carries a 2 year limited warranty from Hyundai, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. True Gear ships this unit Australia wide and the warranty is handled through the Hyundai dealer network.
