Portable Standby Generator - Diesel 5.8KVA -Silenced Canopy

I use it on my boat, wanted a lighter way to go. All the petrol generators are light, but had to go diesel. Very happy with my purchase. I might get the 2.5 Hornet for my caravan. Blue Diamond is cheap, but good quality too.

Im a big fan of honda generators. Particularly the inverter series. However, needing something with a larger power output and longer runtime with diesel i looked at this model. It is now installed in a custom built shed and controlled by an ATS and so far works perfectly. Noise wise then yes if you stand next to it then its very noisy. 25+m away and its barely audible. Ok for me with large property but may annoy neighbors in for eg a terrice location.

Decent generator at a reasonable price,bear in mind it is a diesel so if you are looking for something super silent at this price you will be looking for something that doesn,t exist.

Purchased this gen set for use in Adelaide on HOT dry days when we have rolling blackouts, very common in our area, expected the remote controlled unit, but after receiving the product, found it was only electric start and had no digital power/hour meter, but came with analog meters which are just fine for my use, it has ATS capability which is fantastic if you have an ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch), it will start the gen set and transfer to gen power when the grid goes down, and stop the gen set and transfer back when the grid goes back up. This unit has a 12HP 4 Stroke Air Cooled Diesel Engine, electric start and all the protection you need in a great quality silenced canopy on wheels. Only around 70db @ 7 meters, so very quiet. This unit is solid and handles both air conditioners, my fridge and separate freezer, along with a room of electronics very easily. Smallish on board diesel fuel tank, only 13 liters which will last around 8 hours at 6KVA (100% Load) and around 10 to 12 at 50% load. Unit is fitted with a 25A RCD [full (ELCB) earthleakage protection fitted] and both 15A outlets are protected with RCD and double circuit breakers (22.5A MAX). Perfect for your own protection. It also has a earthing point for the gen set itself (Highly recommended to earth all gen sets). I highly recommend this unit for small applications, but BDM offers larger gen sets if needed. This unit is a beauty, and offers everything that I need for those drawn out Adelaide summers. Highly recommended. http://www.productreview.com.au/r/blue-diamond-machinery-6kva-240v-silenced-gen6s/920842.html
