Choosing the Correct Petrol Generator
Working Out Wattage Requirements
For each appliance, identify how many watts it requires and then add 20% for resistive loads or add 50% for inductive loads.
Identifying Load Types
Resistive loads have no moving parts (e.g. kettles, light bulbs and heaters). Inductive loads have moving parts (e.g. motors, air compressors and pressure washers).
Examples
1000W heater – 1200W generator
2000W pressure washer – 3000W generator
500W kettle and a 3000W motor – 5100W generator
Accessories Included:
- 4 x Rubber Feet
- 1 x 12V Connection Cables and Clamps
- 2 x UK Plugs

Perfect bit of a beast but it works a trea
Worked first time. Just waiting for first power cut now.
Good price, but tgis generator less powerfull than expected. When I try to use my electric tools, it working with noise and pressure. Also, fuel consumption a bit bigger than described
Need to know,does it charge its battery automatically or do I use the 12v cables supplied
Only had this generator a few days. It was easy to assemble and set up. Electric start is fantastic. Well made. Super value. It is very robust. Amazing fast delivery by FedEx.
We bought this generator on the recommendation of a friend after a serious power cut in the storms. It arrived quickly, was easy to set up and started at first attempt.
It could do with a set of wheels, it should be offered with this as an option.
The wiring of the battery connectors is poor and could be done more simply. The wires obstruct the already awkward oil filler point. It is noisier than I expected, but at the price is great as an emergency backup.
Delivered quickly, easy to assemble with very good instructions, and works really well and does the job we wanted it for, thanks very much
Andy
The only thing I found the battery was a bit fiddley to connec
Arrived quickly. I filled it with fuel and oil, started first time. Ran for two minutes and then abruptly stopped. Checked fuel and oil, all ok. Tested for spark, their was none.
Union Mart sent me a replacement HT cap which arrived following day. Still no spark. Union Mart arranged for the machine to be collected the following day. It returned two days later and has worked fault free since.
Ok, so I experienced a problem with the machine. The important message is the suppliers did all they could to sort it out, so, despite the problems, I’ll give this five stars.
Please bear in mind what this costs, its a 2.8kw geney for 170, yes when it arrived it leaked fuel i had to put a clip at one end of the fuel line as it had been left off, yes a wire broke away from a solder joint on the key switch which i soldered back on, if you arent willing to do this kind of thing, think twice about buying this geney but if you are, well its fantastic value for money.
Excellent Generator great price, easy to put together and starts very quickly after the first time.
Very good few issues on delivery but union sorted it out and prompt reply I would buy agai
Item arrived in good condition and good time but unfortunately D.O.A. would not turn over via starter.
Contacted supplier and return arranged.
Replacement arrived within 7 days and communication within this time was exemplary.
cannot be happier.
Nice compact little machine with low noise level, fulfills all my needs.
Arrived slightly damaged, they sent a courier to collect and after about 10 days dropped another off. Has run well since and excellent backup for power failures. Keystart works every time. Exceeded my expectations for the price
Excellent value for money. Very little to assemble, just required some 10/40 oil and petrol. Started first time.
Only started with a key once! Tried charging battery will only start with pull cord – disappointing! But works well otherwise
Very pleased with the purchase. Your driver went out of his way to make the delivery fast and reliable. I purchase a Bohmer generator for my campervan conversion it is fantastic and quite.
Does what it says on the tin, have not used this in anger yet but have used my old one before when somebody took out the powerlines on our road and we were without power for one day and one night and purchased this larger one to do the same thing but with more powe
Arrived well packaged and easy to set up although you may need a very small funnel to fill the oil reservoir which is in a slightly tricky place to get to at the bottom of the generator. Using the electric starter motor it started first time and ran smoothly once running.
With regard to noise, as you’d expect, it’s comparable to a loud petrol driven mower. So far all is good.
Great for an emergency for fridge and freezer incase of a power cut, as well as using around the land
Keeping deep freeze going and lights when having 18 hr power cu
Excellent product easy key start, makes running my catering van a lot easie
After arriving it was left standing for a week in cold weather. When tested I first tried the pull start, just to turn it over. Much surprise when it started straight away with a slow pull !! Looks good.
Excellent product arrived on time dose what it says grea
Arrived well packaged and on time. Once filled with oil and petrol started first time.
Only second time trying to use it (first in August) and it won’t run. OH got it to start eventually but it kept cutting out after 10 secs or so. He’s good with engines and has tried everything. It seems the fuel line is too short and there is no filter on the fuel line, despite there being a maintenance requirement to clean it before every use. Very short return window. Suspect this company know they are selling a dud. Don’t buy.
I have upgraded my review. Had to get it repaired after the disaster described above. 50. But repair man advised it is based on Honda model and is a good design. He also supplied a ‘clean’ fuel and there have been no problems since.
This is a very good generator, quick and easy to set up and get running, easy to start as it is the electric start model that I chose. Comes on line immediately and won’t allow you to overload it. I am very happy with it. I particularly like the way the fuel gauge turns red when the tank is full to stop you over filling. Spot on.
This product has been great so far super easy to assemble just need to add oil and petrol.
I like this product because it is extremely well made and has electric start, which makes it versatile. The product was delivered within 24 hours and was extremely well packed.
Very quick delivery to the Western Isles of Scotland, the generator was very well protected in it’s transport box.
Minimal assembly, filled the oil and fuel as directed and it fired up on the first pull. Battery was fully charged and starts the generator first turn, handy to have both battery and recoil start facilities.
The generator is well built and looks very robust in it’s protective frame
Very pleased with the purchase
Nothing to do with the product, but instead the weird questions you want me to rate?? I bought a generator and you’re asking me “Stretch” and “Thickness”. What does this even mean in relation to a generator?
For the money this product is very good.
Good, but a little too loud for what I use it for.
The order was delivered very quickly and the instructions easy to follow. I was able to run the generator within 30 minutes of unpacking. We get frequent power cuts in our area and I particularly wanted to keep a garage based fridge, dehumidifiers and a security light running. The double socket and 12v output is ideal for my use. The generator appears to be very well made and robust. I would suggest, as its 36 kgs, perhaps purchasing a wheeled generator if you need to move it around which I don’t need to do.
Very good product , more than enough for back up power. And you need not worry about customer service or after sales for pars the guys are second to none.
Bought this for home use and it arrived fast easy to set up and perfect for job required ,have been most impressed how easy to start and ru
Easy to use, great piece of equipment and for the price has great electrical output.
Great quality easy to start with instant power great piece of ki
Started first time and was fairly quiet, does what it says on the tin.
Item arrived earlier than stated which i was very happy about as i decided to purchase it at the last min and so that gave me a bit of time to set it up and make sure it all run ok .
It was very easy to set up i just had to measure the oil out and fill up with petrol .. its also great it has a key start .
It run really well and coped with everything i needed to use : Fridge /lights /water heater/ microwave .
The level of noise was reasonably good .. No it wasn’t silent but what engine is.
Overall I am very pleased with my purchase & would i recommend or buy this item again most definitely yes ..
Good Austrian product, well made Sterk & Robust. Has a tendency to move if feet are not fully tightened.
Electric start is a good feature for the elderly user. I will fit an in-line- filter to the fuel pipe, although not necessary.
Uses 1lt fuel/hour. This, 2.8KW generator with electric start is a real bargain. Look at Japanese equivalent and make your decision. I did.

Regards Iain.
quick delivery and great machine. easy key start and quiet. would def recommend
Bhmer-AG 6500W-E generator is exactly what we needed to run lawn mower and strimmer at same time with ease.
Only reason not getting 5 star is what I see as a design flaw. The oil was difficult to put in due to the angle. Overcame by using a small rubber hose attached to small funnel.
Runs nicely, easy to start on the cord or battery. Would recommend.
Very pleased does what I want and more, can’t comment on reliability as only purchased two months ago.
Runs like a dream, have ran it for a month now and starts first turn of key, output is good and constant, I have no trouble with power supply to my caravan all apparatus works fine.
Added oil and petrol and off it went – perfec
Amazingly prompt delivery. Very nice unit. Easy to start using the key. Now running all the electrics in my cabin.
Looks a good machine ,handy for instant power when mains power is not available
Problem with the starter battery initially, but VERY quickly sorted by the vendors. Starts easy enough on the recoil anyway. Excellent value for money – Stable output & not too noisy. I thought they had not shipped the mounting feet and associated screws, but found them in a box under the tank, so look there first.
As described sounds good looks good does the job, quick delivery great service will use again thanks
This item was delivered early smart design looks easy to operate good value ready for my camper van expiditions
It was as said on the tin.
All I had to do was put oil, petrol connect battery up and put rubber feet on.
Started second turn of the key.
Great job
Couple of days for delivery,
Easy to put together, bolt rubber feet on, bolt Battery Terminals on red / black.
Added some oil 10w-30 and some unleaded. choke and fuel on.
Turned key started first time , not to lowd.
Tested on Kascher K5 , Rug doc + Kascher WD3 and Karcher SC 3 together all ran good.
Only tested lightly , Used 3 times 10 – 20 mins a time all good.
Does what i needed it to
Excellent, delivery was prompt and ver satisfied with our purchse, Thank you
love the service and the product it will do the job i need it for thank u so very much
I was impressed by what you got for the money, the 2yr warranty and the rapid delivery to me.
I unpacked the generator to find many useful features. I filled it with oil, to the required level, added petrol and decided to had start it at first. The generator fired up and ran from the second pull. After a few minutes I stopped it and tried the electric start, which work perfectly and for the small extra price seemed a good idea, especially if others are to start this machine.
Obviously, I cannot comment on long term reliability but, at the moment Imwould not hesitate to buy this product again or to recommend it to others.
I live in a pretty remote rural location and it’s not unusual in winter to have the overhead power lines down for 24 hours or so. This will run fridge-freezer, lights, TV and more …brilliant with heat from a log stove ( own felled and cut logs)
Starts perfectly and supplies a steady output just as required.
Key for the keystart is very cheap and nasty, just a flat piece of metal so any flat key or a screwdriver will do the same job, not exactly a security item as anyone could start it at any time!
Not too loud either when running so ok during the daytime but might be a little loud to use at night for a campervan or motorhome.
All said a good package just let down a little by the key start.
My wife said to me why are you paying for a Generator that is well below the cost for what we paid for the Honda one we got. Never argue but lets get on with it.
Well she was proven wrong and admits it.
This is one hell of a generator, took a while to get used to starting it up using the recoil starter, but that needs to be checked first as you should not only rely on the electric starter as battery could be flat. Once everything was settled in, First time start 4 pulls.
Then tried the Electric start, kicked arse within 3-4 turns. Cool.
This is the major check. How many units can you operate whilst its working.
This one did surprise me. I plugged into one of the sockets a 4 pin extension lead and lets go. We camp a lot and use a normal household under counter fridge with a freezer compartment to go inside tent. We also have a large Dometic fridge which we use and keep in our Crafter van.
Connected both, no problem. I then plugged in a ‘Numex Leisure battery charger, again no problem.
I then turned off the isolation switch.
Well lets try a kettle, we plugged this into the 2nd socket and boy I was surprised. Once the generator realised it needed more power, it settled in.
Wow !!!!
We have another generator to keep us going, but this one is certainly now our main one. Well worth the money.
I will come back later to add any further comments as we are off for a 2 week camping spree.
So far I would recommend this to anybody.
Follow up on Review
We recently went camping at Malvern Autumn show. Prior to that I had a few minor issues but resolved. All I can say is what a fantastic and very professional approach the customer services have been. Mark sorted the problem out (Minor I might add), and we spent a very enjoyable long weekend + with power kicking arse. Well done team and I would recommend this generator 150%. Not only for performance, but customer service. After our long weekend away with camping friends, they will be getting one x 3 couples.
If anybody whats to ask a question then please do as this has been fully tried and tested in UK camping and when we went abroad. If you do a lot of camping then get one.
We had 2 fridges, power for our electric in the tent and I might add my mate pinched one of the sockets and it still kept going. Electric kettle went on and no problems.
Hope this gives helps, but as you can read, go for it.
very quick delivery and easy to use would recommend this Generator to all
