Cheap generator

[timboellis]

Following on from my post on garage or not if i was to get one i would need power so anyone suggest a cheap generator all i would need it for would be light's and a radio thats it

but would have to be very quiet as the garage would be in a square

Don't opt for the cheapest low output model that you can find as you will, in the future, almost certainly want to use it to run power tools and maybe even boil a kettle every now and then.

If you just want to run lights and a radio, I'd say go for a motorhome leisure battery and some 12v lights. Stick it on a little trolley so you can take it home to recharge easily.

Get a battery powered radio .

most generators will run lights and radio but the big but you mentioned a kettle now my 2500kw generator wont boil a kettle with the lights on! i have a 5000kw deasel generator that will run all my lights a kettle and all my power tools no problem but wont run my compressor so think very carfully whay you want to run if its just lights and a radio then a lorry battery will do nicely

5 megawatts would definitely power a kettle!

I got a 3.2KW genny from Aldi for £150, not the quietest thing, about average volume for a generator. I got it in one of those weekly deal thing Lidl/Aldi do.

[hmmmnz]

minimum 1200watts for a genny, if only so you can use an angle grinder or drill, a still keep your lights on
