i use a Coleman 7.5KVA genset at home, matibay at maingay since open type. i suggest you buy at least a genset with 5KVA capacity because 80% lang ang recommended load nyan..so if 5KVA e a little less than 4KVA lang dapat load ng genset. with my 7.5KVA coleman, i could turn on 2 split type airconditioners, a bunch of lights, a big 2 cabinet refrigerator, a PC and TV to boot.

regarding spare parts, yes mas madali hanapan ang japanese brands like Robin and Honda. but since we're a hardware depot, parts isnt a problem at all

BB,- is your genset gasoline or diesel-fed? Typically how much?

Ours is only 3KVA (gasoline-fed). Brand is Honda. It was very useful during the days of post-Milenyo brownouts, as we're running a bunch of lights, electric fans, a refrigerator, TV set, and a motor pump. However, I was hesitant to run our 1HP aircon as the initial kick strains the genset (it has an breaker switch though).....

Genset is about 8 years old. Got it brand new for about P20K then.

I've seen a lot of Robin and Denyo gensets (esp. in large, industrial sizes). Does this mean these brands are good? Any owner(s)? TIA.

I think mas ok ang Robin...china made is cheaper but parang disposable.

mine drinks unleaded petrol, approx. a little less than 60k i think.

sa 3KVA mo baka mahirapan na genset if ON mo pa ang a/c. approx. 2.4KVA lang ang rated output nyan and it is preferrable to use less than the rated output so as not to stress the genset. ok na yan as long as the essentials such as lights, ref and fans can be turned on

parang ganyan din ang ginagamit namin. Little gen set pero malaki ang naging pakinabang namin dyan during post milenyo typhoon. kinaya nya ang 4 electric fans, almost 300 watts of combined lights plus charger ng cell phone.

ok naman nakatagal sya ng almost 5 hours straight tapos pinahinga lang ng 1 hour then another 5 hours ulit. no hang ups or hassle with the motor. it is a two stroke engine so expect it to be noisy and mausok. pero yung usok naman nababawasan habang tumatagal ang takbo nya.
