Power Generators – Complete Buying Guide

Generator power output – calculating your needs

The key is adding up the wattage of all devices you plan to run simultaneously and adding a 20-30% safety margin. A refrigerator typically draws 500-800W, a computer around 400W, and a freezer up to 1000W. Water pumps and motor-driven tools require a brief surge of power during startup, which must be factored into your calculation.

Petrol or diesel generator

Petrol generators are quieter, lighter and cheaper to purchase, ideal for occasional use and shorter operating periods. Diesel models like BORMANN PRO Dizel generator BGB9000 are more economical in fuel consumption and more durable for continuous operation, but require higher initial investment and regular maintenance.

Inverter technology for sensitive electronics

Inverter generators from brands like HONDA and HYUNDAI produce more stable voltage without fluctuations, making them safe for powering laptops, TVs and precision electronics. They are significantly quieter than conventional models and consume less fuel thanks to automatic engine speed regulation.

Practical factors to consider

Pay attention to runtime autonomy with a full tank – quality models offer 8-12 hours of continuous operation. Noise level matters if using the generator in a residential area or at a cottage. Brands like DEWALT, BOSCH and EINHELL offer diverse options with AVR voltage stabilization, which extends the lifespan of connected appliances.

Common mistake – underestimating starting current

Electric motors in refrigerators, air conditioners or saws require 2-3 times more power during startup than during operation. A generator with 2000W rated output may struggle to start a pump that runs at 800W. Always check the generator's maximum (peak) power, not just the rated output.
