Elemax 900watts (Manual starter)

In Nigeria, we call these kinds of generators ‘I better pass my neighbour’. This stems from the idea that the generators are really small and cannot do much. But you will have power supply when your neighbour doesn’t.

These generators are portable, easy to carry, and they do not consume a lot of petrol as they come with only 7liters of fuel tank capacity. It also happens that they do not make a lot of noise, unlike a few other small generators.

Elemax 2.2/2.8KVA (Manual starter)

These ranges of Elemax generators are one of the best in the market. This generator surpasses most of the other generators in this range because they have a stronger capacity, and their fuel tank size is 17 litres.

Most 2.5KVA generators have about 15liters of fuel capacity, but this is not so for these. This means that you can use your generator for an extended period, and your fuel will last longer.

These generators also come equipped with AVR (automatic voltage regulator). This is one of the best things that you can have in a generator because it protects your appliances by regulating the power that goes into your home.

They can be used in the home for personal use, or small businesses and offices. One downside here, however, is that these generators are manual starters and that means they require you to pull it to start.
