most condos don't have room for even the smallest generator. considering the noise level if you have a small patio, it sure would irritate you and the neighbors in addition to possible carbon monoxide exposure. your better option is to purchase an inverter and a considerable deep cycle battery sufficient for the duration and expected load.

there is no such thing as an "indoor generator", unless 1.) you intend to commit suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning, or 2.) you are referring to a bicycle driven generator, the one that you pedal to be able to watch tv.

Ganun din akala ko dati, that's why i was wondering why condo dwellers were at the lobbies charging their phones.

Seems different condos have different policies on generator power; some only provide power for the common areas, some isang outlet lang or ilaw for each condo, and maybe the entire unit for the upscale ones.

Truth is, kung may Honda dito sa amin nagtitinda (brand new ha) yun ang bibilhin ko. well, 2nd of course Robin. Kaso wala eh, so I ended up buying a Denki rated 3200w.

hmmmn... subukan mong magtanong sa mga stores sa binondo or sta cruz / raon. magsama ka ng friend.
you: gusto ko sanang bumili ng "indoor" type genset (generator set)
sa: 'yun sir (pointing to a genset), pang- indoor 'yun.
your friend: ako, gusto ko rin bumili! pero gusto ko "outdoor" type.
sa: (pointing to the same genset) pwede rin 'yun pang "outdoor" sir! :confused:

Generators are just... Generators.

afaik, mino- modify lang nila ang mga "enclosures" para maging suitable for
indoor or outdoor use. professional dealers and / or engineers knows that.

there are rules and regulations on keeping / installing generators in condos, estalishments, etc.
better know these first. baka kasi mas malaki pa ang gagastusin mo sa installation kesa sa
bibilhin mong generator.

re your question, sorry sir, it's been years na kasi last time na makakita ako ng mga portable generators
(less than 3kva) sa raon / binondo areas at saka lately, sa mga ace hardwares na lang.
meron namang mga tsikoteers na professional dealers / suppliers. sigurado ka pa! :thumbup: good luck.
