Price of a small generator – It is quite unfortunate that we still have to look out for generators as a basic necessity in a country like Nigeria. However, this is how it has come to be.

It is essential today to have generators in your house. This is because you are unsure of when you may ever get an electricity supply, and how long it will even last.

Before, small generators meant that you had to use all of your energy when trying to put it on. These are called the manual-start generators. But it is not the case anymore as the small generators now even come with a key-starter.

Here, we will be reviewing the different prices of small generators in Nigeria.

Price, Specs, and Review of Small Generator in Nigeria 

Generators are sold according to their sizes and the kVA rating. Mainly, the higher the kVA rating, the more power the generator produces and therefore, the more costly it will be.

So, if you want the lowest possible amount of a generator, you should be aiming for the lowest kVA.

Another factor to consider is the manufacturer of the generator that you want to buy. Manufacturers like FIRMAN and MIKANO will cost more than the manufacturers who are not as popular. Diesel generators and soundproof generators will also require more.

In this article, we will be focusing on the price of some popular generator(s). Please keep reading.

This is one of the most popular small generators in Nigeria. The tiger generator used to be a way for people to brag that they were better off than their counterparts. At least they can afford a small generator when their colleagues cannot afford any at all.

This was how it became known to be referred to as “I better pass my neighbor”.

The tiger generator has helped save many Nigerians from a life of boredom, darkness, and heat. Although it is small in size and capacity, it can at least power necessary appliances like electric fans, televisions, and electric light bulbs.

The disadvantage is that it cannot power so many appliances at the same time. It cannot power gadgets with large capacities like microwaves, air conditioners, and irons.
