Precautions for Purchasing Small Sale Generators

Many consumers are laymen in the generator industry. However, small - scale generators are an indispensable part of our backup power supply. When it comes to purchasing, they will definitely encounter various problems. So, what are the precautions for purchasing small - scale generators? Let the editor of Dingbo Power share them with you.

First tip: Low noise. Good - brand generators usually make relatively little noise. For example, when a 2 - kilowatt small - scale generator starts, two people standing next to it should be able to talk clearly to each other (the noise level is about 70 decibels). Only such a generator can be considered good.

Second tip: Check the professionalism of the seller. Nowadays, the generator business is booming, and all kinds of miscellaneous shops have also started selling generators. However, consumers had better buy from specialized electrical and mechanical product sellers, as it is easier to ensure after - sales service this way. Those shops that "temporarily" sell generators may stop selling them or switch to other brands after the peak season, which poses a hidden danger to after - sales service. You can check whether the dealer has an agency certificate. If not, it is very likely that they are just reselling goods, and after - sales service cannot be guaranteed.

Third tip: Moderate price. Due to different brands, the prices of generators with the same power vary greatly. Many consumers prefer to buy from the cheapest place when making a purchase. This idea is wrong. There is indeed an appropriate price difference among different brands. However, if the price is too low, you have to wonder - is this product shoddily made? There are many small - scale generator accessories on the domestic market currently. It is easy to assemble a generator if you understand the technology. Although the price transparency of generators is quite high at present, while everyone hopes for "good quality and low price", in most cases, the quality of a product is proportional to its price. Moreover, the safety of electricity use must be absolutely guaranteed.

Fourth tip: Suitable power. If there are a series of household appliances such as refrigerators, air - conditioners, and televisions at home, you must purchase a generator with a power of about 5 - 8 kilowatts. For families without air - conditioners but with other household appliances, a small - scale generator of about 2 kilowatts is generally sufficient. If you only need it for lighting, a generator with a power of 650 - 800 watts can solve the problem.

Fifth tip: Sign a contract and clarify responsibilities. After purchasing a generator, consumers should not forget to sign a contract with the seller, clearly defining issues such as the maintenance method and responsibility sharing.

Sixth tip: Choose a regular and reliable sales unit. Some consumers have non - regular purchase channels. They buy from the cheapest place or "grab at any straw" when in urgent need, paying for the goods as long as they are available and not even asking for an invoice. This is also one of the reasons for the increasing number of complaints about generators. This situation also brings unfavorable factors to consumers' efforts to safeguard their own rights and interests.

Warm reminder: Improper operation by users can also pose safety hazards. It is strictly forbidden to use generators indoors or in poorly - ventilated areas.
