  • Lidl generator

    I just called in a lidl store in Honiton and they have 2800w (2600w continuous) 4stroke generators for £179. It has an external frame and two small wheels for moving it around.Its made by Parkside which I think is their own make?

    Looks pretty neat actually. I could be tempted to give one a go. For the amount I would actually use one it would be pointless spending a grand on a Honda. For occasional use at the field and at fly ins this could be ideal.

                    Seems a good deal Ron, but Martins generator has been banned from Whitehorse, it gave everyone a headache, couldn't hear much over the noise and the smoke was like a very rich nitro lol.

                        Am I right in thinking it would therefore give 10amps at 240v with 2600w? That's enough to power a PL8 and charge some 5200mAh in short time
