Is it worth £169.00?

2800w isn't too bad is it?

[slobodan]

I'm no good at it.

i guess at that price it must be from china but with a 3 year warranty its worth a punt as long as the shop takes it back and you don't have to post it to the maker.

it will run a 9" grinder with 2800w - think mines 1850w.

[Fey!]

I have the Aldi 3200w version which I find good.

I got an isolator installed in the house so that if we have a powercut the generator can be plugged in to run our electrics. Our electrician reckons it should at least keep the freezer going, and maybe even the heat.

I suppose I should test it before I need it...

Anyway, the most I've ran from it so far is a kettle, a printer, a laptop and the timing gear at an autocross. Or a kettle with one of the induction hobs Aldi were selling last year (excellent piece of kit!).

A kettle is good,
I'm hoping it will run my Bosnian tumble drier (cement mixer)
Tea and concrete and I'm happy.

[slobodan]

I tuck it in and stand in front of the mirror

No, it's a generator.

Got to love Lidl

Slowly walking down the aisles potatoes carrots cabbages generators

[slobodan]

but i did work it out in the end, and makro have good generators too at around the same price 3kva.

Without a link this is pure speculation.

No idea, I'm stoned.

As a muthafcuker or just mellow,surely you should be looking at these not generators

[BioHazard]

I have a 2.3kva one .... It'll run the freezer some lights and a fan heater but forget the kettle or any electronic equipment.

The kettle draws too much and the genny spikes hence no electronic equipment ..... you will need to spend a lot more to run those.

Mellow, Then no-one talks to me, which I like.

I don't suppose I was expecting much at that price,
Do you think it's worth £169.00 ?

£170 with a three year warranty why not Lidl would not be my first choice for getting a genny from but why not like Bio said don't bother with any 'pooters unless you have a ups.......

You might need something like this.......

[BioHazard]

I paid £300 for it 6 years ago but it's still the same thing just different case and colours , The best bit was the fist one they sent me was dammaged so they sent me a second one ...... The first one then sat in my garage for two years waiting for them to pick it up, and no shows so after 2 years my dad fixed it for about £50 and we had 2 one he has at his place and the other here .



That's a good price for a get out the shit one.


TBH if you are looking at gennies perhaps you should be looking at solar , wind and water generation and big batteries.
