Good job. I've got the Houghton Belaire HB3400 in my van which looks similar to what you have? If so the Kings 2.0 kVa will run this? Pretty much want a Generator that can run the AC, coffee machine in the morning and the out door TV when required. Plan is to only run the AC in the PM before bed if it's a warm one. Won't get used much at all hence why I'm looking at the Kinsg. Fridge runs on gas so that's a bonus. Cheers
Kings make a 2.2kw which should run your aircon...don't think it will run both coffee machine and aircon..but you would have to check out its electrical specification to know for sure.....
Not 32A from the generator, it’s 32A DC from the battery charger. It’s about 7A AC from the generator which is why the 10A rated cable has not melted and caught fire. Nice review and comparison.
Felt bad for you because you were the only one Muddy didn't reply to, so let me do it on his behalf. Yes you're correct, must have been an oversight. Cheers and thanks for the content Muddy
Correct...you can rely on Maths....Power (W) = Voltage (V) x Amps (I)...therefore a 1700-watt continuous run generator at 240 volts is only going to result in a draw of 7 amps....not 32 amps 🙂 I have the same generator and have restricted the generator input to my inverter to 7.0 amps to prevent any overloads.
The kings 2.2kva generator doesn't not run my caravan Houghton Belaire H3200 air conditioner without the generator going into overload with no other load from appliances or DC charger on.
Good review mate- thanks ☺️ I would love to know if you have tested the actual run time you get on each with the fuel capacity they have ? Or how much fuel per hour on full load/ charge ? Be interesting to know Cheers 🍻
@@muddyandsandy looking at just going straight for the gentrax 800, only to run the kickass 22 amp charger in case of little sun for solar on trips, is cheap and plastic but also small and seems ok from the reviews 👍
When there is insufficient sunlight, it is good practice (and to keep the peace) to only run your generator during the day to max your batteries ready for nighttime use.
For $2k it not that much better than the kings in my opinion, esp for a part time camper. Diff if you were on the road for 2 years doing the big lap. It def the quietest.
Although you can’t rely on Honda like you used to, that may not be the worst news. Honda engines have been made in China for a number of years but engineering was handled in Japan. That is changed. The worst news may be that
simple answer is whats the after sales service like with the other two?????????????????????? No question about Honda great after sales service and service centers in most cities' oz wide. No substitute for Quality
@@Cl4rkyBetter off with a clean looking second hand honda for $1k…sometimes less if you’re quick. I’ve thrashed and poorly serviced mine for 20+ years, still going strong. Lives in the work truck and starts first time everytime. Never let me down, never stopped. Officially beats cheap Chinese garbage that will be stacked up at the tip with the others in 5 years.
some of their manuals said they were printed in Thailand so i assume they might also be making them there. i saw some Honda pumps made in Thailand. I don't think that's any better, but really i think it matters more who the company is rather than where the factory is. My 2000 Hilux was made in Thailand and still hasn't had stupid things break such as a sun visor like my Japanese made 2008 WRX did.
In 25 years 😂 who knows that the world will look like given the advancements in tech each year. Batteries and solar are king now. I’d be going cheap generator as a last resort back up

Glad I own the Honda EU2200i (2018). Best investment ever. Great video. 👍
Great review. Not everyone can afford a 2nd hand Honda, let alone a new one. So good to have cheap options out there for those that wont use it alot.
Your right...The cheap one...was fine....I'd be happy with it....thanks for the comment
Good review & comparison of these 3 genny’s mate. I have a 2.2kw & a cradle frame 3.3kw for about 3 yrs now & they both work fine.
That's good to hear mate...thanks for the comment

Thanks for the review. A great insight into each.
Thanks for the comment...
hey mate great review - Im looking at the Dewalt range - would love to see a review on the 2.2kVA and the 3.6kVA - 3 year warranty
Thanks for the comment...I'll look into it
Great clip thank you
Glad you enjoyed it...thanks
Thanks, a really useful review.
You welcome..thanks for the comment

Ok...it must use alot more power for that one.....but it run our aircon
Great video, thanks very much.
Thank you..appreciate the comment

That would be interesting....might have to look into it.....thanks for the comment..
@@muddyandsandy you’re welcome ☺️😉
Pretty sure the Kings one is a Gentrax with kings cover on it, is what other brands have done with the gentrax 800. Thanks for the vid tho mate
Your probably right.....they do that to other products

All generators are quite for those using them, but bloody noisy for everyone else, spend your money on extra Solar!
100%....I don't really use the generator now...now that I have a inverter...thanks for your comment

I agree....if you are a weekend warrior...a kings one would be fine....Honda if your travelling the country....

Interesting...thansk for that
At least put the Honda in eco mode makes it soo much quieter
simple answer is whats the after sales service like with the other two?????????????????????? No question about Honda great after sales service and service centers in most cities' oz wide. No substitute for Quality
That is very true...plus parts would be alot easy to get...thanks for the comment
Kings service and warranty is terrible, better to buy another one if it breaks
Low hour second hand honda for same price as others. Honda every time.
100%...there are quite a few used good Honda's on facebook
Kings 2.2kva brand new at the moment for $379, pretty hard to beat that

Problem with the Honda is it's a prime target for druggies.
You forgot one thing some Honda will not be Japanese Japanese some are made in China so better off to look
Good to know

The question is will the cheap ones be running in 25 years like my old Honda
Probably not...honda definitely has alot better quality...
In 25 years 😂 who knows that the world will look like given the advancements in tech each year. Batteries and solar are king now. I’d be going cheap generator as a last resort back up
Can buy 3 cheap ones for the price of a Honda 😂
In 25 years new and more efficient gens will be on the market you clown 🤡
